Bio:
Gordon Hill moved from Millwall and signed for Manchester United in November 1975 for £70,000, a bargain for manager Tommy Docherty, forming a wing partnership with Steve Coppell. Hill helped United reach the 1976 FA Cup Final, scoring both goals with typical long-range efforts in the semi-final at Hillsborough Stadium against Derby County. Unfortunately for Hill, United lost in the Final against Southampton. He was also part of the 1977 FA Cup-winning side. Hill left 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, Hill was United’s top scorer and a favourite among fans.
