Gordon Hobson Biography

Gordon Hobson is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on November 27, 1957 in Sheffield, England, United Kingdom. Gordon Hobson (born 27 November 1957) is a English ex- footballer retired from the game who played forward. He spent the majority of his time with Lincoln City, with shorter time with Grimsby Town, Southampton and Exeter City.

In November of 1986, he was traded in November 1986 to First Division Southampton for PS120,000 in which he teamed up with Cockerill with whom he was a ex- Lincoln City teammate. Hobson made his debut for “the Saints” on 29 November 1986, scoring the goal that sealed the 3-1 win, kicking into the ball that was loose when goalkeeper Tony Coton failed to hold the shot of Cockerill. On April 11, 1987 Hobson was able to score three goals on Maine Road, where Southampton defeated Manchester City 4-2. Hobson’s three-goal hat- trick (a header, tap-in, and the penalty) is the Saints first time away from home in 18 years.

In September 1988, he returned to Sincil Bank, rejoining Lincoln City for a club record fee of £60,000. His first match back at Lincoln was a League Cup match against the club he had just left, Southampton, in which Hobson scored City’s consolation goal at The Dell. Hobson spent two more years with Lincoln, finishing as top scorer both seasons, with a hat-trick in a 4–1 win at table- topping Burnley in November 1988. In his two spells with Lincoln, Hobson made a total of 386 first-team appearances, scoring 105 goals.

In the summer of 1990, he joined Exeter City for one last season of League football before dropping down to the lower leagues. At Salisbury City, he dabbled in management as assistant manager in 1985 and again in 1997.

The 1981 and 1982 seasons, Lincoln mounted a creditable attempt to make it into an appearance in Second Division, missing out on promotion by just one point. The following few years, Lincoln typically finished middle-table. In August of 1985, Murphy resigned. Then, in June of 1985, Hobson moved on to Grimsby Town of the Second Division for a fee of PS35,000. In his debut season at Grimsby, Hobson finished leading goal scorer, scoring 15 goals in the league.

After his 20th birthday He was signed by Lincoln City, then in the Football League Third Division. His first professional appearance was with Cambridge United in April 1978 and put on “a sparkling performance in which he seemed to mesmerise the opposition defenders” by his cross-fields from the right flank , scoring 2 goals to “the Imps” and scoring at least once in a 4-1 win.

Hobson quickly established himself as a regular in the first team, typically playing outside-left alongside Glenn Cockerill on the right and Mick Harford in the centre. After being dropped in 1979 and then a lackluster 1980-79 year (in in which Hobson had his first goal of a triple during a five-point win over Torquay on the last day of the season) Manager Colin Murphy moved Hobson into the middle with 21 goals, which assisted the Imps gain promotion into Division Three with a second-place finishing behind Southend United. One of the highlights of the promotion campaign was a rout of 8-0 against Northampton Town in which Hobson scored four times.

Although he showed “a nice sense of balance and an eye for goal”, Hobson suffered from an ankle injury after a month of the 1987–88 season. Graham Baker took his place in the side, and by the time that he was fit again, Hobson found it hard to break back into the team, especially with the emergence of younger players such as Rod Wallace, Matthew Le Tissier and Alan Shearer.
