Who is Anthony Gordon?
Anthony Michael Gordon is a versatile forward who predominantly plays on the left flank but can operate on the opposite side and even through the middle if needed.
After initially starting his young career in Liverpool’s academy, Gordon crossed enemy lines in the city to join Everton’s academy when he was 11 after being released.
Gordon would go on to show Liverpool what a mistake they had made by rising through the ranks at Goodison Park, making his senior debut when he was just 16.
After impressing over the next six seasons in a struggling Toffees side, Newcastle swooped in to capture his potential for themselves in 2023.
How old is Anthony Gordon?
Gordon was born on February 24, 2001, in Liverpool, England. As of October 2025, he is 24 years old.
He is still young despite his eight years of career experience already, giving him plenty of room to get even better.
How tall is Anthony Gordon?
Gordon stands at 6′ tall, making him taller than usual for a wide player.
The extra height gives him a strength advantage against many defenders, in the rare instances when he hasn’t just raced past them with his blistering pace.
Anthony Gordon’s girlfriend and reading
Gordon is in a relationship with Annie Keating. The couple had their first child together in 2023.
The winger is different to most footballers as he isn’t one to spend all his spare time gaming or playing golf. Instead, he is an avid reader and loves to play chess.

He was on his favourite team’s books as a youngster but was released in 2012 before crossing dividing lines and signing for Everton.
