Despite his entire family being Liverpool fans, Gordon is focused on his future at Newcastle, where financial constraints have shaped their transfer strategy.
On A League Of Their Own, Gordon said: "So I was at Liverpool and they released me when I was 11 and then Everton signed me."
He joked about his family: "As long as we lost they were alright, if I scored they were like 'great, but we want you to lose'.
“My family are like really, really bitter Liverpool fans."
