I am pleased to produce and publish on The World of Lord Russell Podcast Talk Show, 'Merlin The Left Wing Magician with Gordon Hill.

Gordon Hill is an English former footballer who played in the Football League for Millwall Football Club, Manchester United, Derby County QPR FC and was capped six times for the England football team.

Gordon Hill played 91 league games for Millwall, scoring 22 goals. After spending the summer of 1975 on loan with the North American Soccer League's Chicago Sting, and being named League player of the year, Gordon Hill subsequently signed for Manchester United in November 1975 for £70,000, forming a wing partnership with Steve Coppell.

Gordon Hill helped Manchester United reach the 1976 FA Cup Final, scoring both goals with long-range efforts in the semi-final at Hillsborough Stadium against Derby County. Manchester United lost in the final against Southampton. 

He was also part of the 1977 FA Cup-winning side beating their arch-rivals Liverpool 2- 1 at the old Wembley Stadium to lift the grand old trophy. Gordon Hill left Manchester United for Derby County for £250,000 in 1978, with his sale by Dave Sexton deeply unpopular with supporters. At the time of his sale, Gordon Hill was Manchester United's top scorer and a favourite among fans.

Gordon Hill now lives in the #USA and runs a football acadamy in Seattle.

A real pleasure to have Gordon Hill on the show, and a fantastic show for all football and sports fans around the World.

I look forward to seeing you all on the inside.
