Gordon MacKay 1969 - 2008
Memorial match

On Friday, 24 August (1830 pm) we celebrate the life and playing career of Glasgow Accies and Glasgow Hawks legend, Gordon MacKay.
Glasgow Academicals Club, together with friends, former team-mates Chas Afuakwah Steve Begley as well as colleagues have come together to organise a special fixture to pay tribute to Gordon. Gordon was one of the game’s true gentlemen. Hard, yes.;
uncompromising on the pitch, yes. But a truer gentleman in the clubhouse you could not ever wish to meet. Seasoned veterans together with a sprinkling of youth will take the field to honour Gordon, celebrate his career and contribution to the game we all love. I hope you can join us for an evening to remember!
