A brand-new episode of Icons of Football goes live tomorrow.

The BBC Scotland documentary on Gordon’s life and times premieres on BBC iPlayer from Wednesday at 0600 BST.

Through a succession of serious injuries – ankle issues, broken arms, broken leg, knee surgeries, neck and shoulder problems – he’s missed an estimated 1,975 days of football or around 200 games. Way back in 2012, he suffered patellar tendonitis, a career-threatening condition that kept him out for two years.

Now it’s time for a – potential – last dance at the World Cup. Tremendous.
