Gordon Nutt: Chairman Jim’s Full Appreciation Now Online

A full appreciation of the life and career of recently departed former Bantam Gordon Nutt who passed away aged 81 late last month can now be found on our ‘Gone But Not Forgotten’ section (under the ‘Players’ tab above).

The obituary, penned by CCFPA Chairman and CCFC official historian Jim Brown, provides a well rounded and personal reflection on the life and career of this well respected winger who was with Coventry City between 1948 and 1954, starting as a junior and leaving to join Cardiff City. Gordon’s funeral took place in Cygnet, Tasmania (where he had retired) on the last day of February 2014.
