Gordon Hill
| Date of birth | 01 April 1954 |
| Place of birth | Sunbury-on-Thames |
| Nationality | English |
| Position | Midfielder/Forward |
A mercurial talent on the left-wing, a bag of tricks with a sweet left-foot earning him the nickname 'Merlin', a great crowd favourite. Left in acrimonious circumstances but he is remembered with great fondness by all lucky enough to have seen him play.
