Gordon Easson

Gordon Easson (2 July 1928 – 2009) was a Scottish footballer, who played as a goalkeeper for East Fife and Worcester City.

Easson made his first team debut for East Fife in the 1950 Scottish Cup Final.[1] This happened because their first two choice goalkeepers, John Niven and John McGarrity,[2] were both injured.[1] Easson conceded a goal within 30 seconds and East Fife went on to lose 3–0.[1]
