Gordon Wallace is a former Liverpool F.C. player.
Wallace's main claims to fame were scoring twice in the very first BBC "Match of the Day" and being Liverpool's first ever European Champions' Cup goal scorer, with the first goal in an away tie against Reykjavik, both occurring in August 1964.[1]
Despite such a promising start his first team opportunities were limited by the consistency, fitness and excellent disciplinary records of Liverpool's twin strike force, Roger Hunt and Ian St John, respectively England and Scotland internationals. When Tony Hateley joined Liverpool in 1967 for the massive sum of £100,000 Wallace left on a free transfer, joining Crewe Alexandra for whom he was a consistent goalscorer in the lower divisions in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
