"Radio Today" has a tribute to Gordon, here.

Gordon "was famous for commentating on Plymouth Argyle across local radio, starting with hospital radio and Plymouth Sound before moving to the BBC. Most recently he hosted breakfast on Radio Devon.

......Jason Horton, Acting Director of BBC England and former head of BBC South, paid tribute. He said: “Such sad news – @SparksyOnRadio was a broadcaster who loved his audience, loved his job and loved @Argyle. A friend to more people than he will ever have met, Gordon will be missed massively by so many.”"
