Anthony Gordon Let’s start with the basics you care about who this lad is, how tall he is, where he comes from, what he looks like, and how he’s doing right now. Think of this as catching up with a friend, not a sports commentator hiding behind jargon.
Anthony Gordon Full Name & Early Years
Anthony Gordon born 24 February 2001 in Liverpool, grew up with Nadine and Keith. He’s got Irish and Scottish roots so that fiery, beinfluenced passion on the pitch probably runs in the blood.
Age, Height & Build
At 24 years old, he stands about 1.83 m (6 feet tall) a good height for darting down the wing, and his build lets him glide past defenders with ease.
Family & Personal Side
Off the field, he’s human not a football robot. In 2023, he became a dad, and he’s in a relationship with Annie Keating. I like that because becoming a father often brings a deep sense of perspective, and it’s refreshing to know the human behind the goals.
He’s also recently revealed he’s a book fan especially Dan Carter’s The Art of Winning. It’s small things like that, watching him get a real spark from words instead of bonus paychecks, that make him feel so grounded.
Clubs & Numbers
He started out at Everton his youth years there took him all the way from age 11: he was once released by Liverpool, picked up by Everton’s academy, and even became the first 21st-century-born Everton first-team player when he made his debut in December 2017.
He made 65 league appearances for Everton, scoring 7 goals. He also had a loan spell at Preston 11 games, no goals, but valuable minutes under his belt.
In January 2023, he made the big move to Newcastle for about £40–45 million. Since then, he’s played 86 league matches and scored 18 goals and that excludes cups and international games.
In just the 2023–24 season, he grabbed 11 league goals and had 12 across all competitions. In the 2024–25 season, he notched 6 more in league games he’s not a one-season wonder, he’s consistent.
International Glory
It’s been a bit of a fairytale. He shone with England’s youth sides U18, U19, U20 but his career-defining moment came with the U21s in 2023. He powered England to the U21 European Championship, scoring in group stages and quarter-finals, then lifting the trophy in the final. To top it off, he was named Player of the Tournament.
By early 2024, he’d earned his first senior call-up. He debuted against Brazil at Wembley and then was selected for Euro 2024. He even scored his first senior international goal in November 2024 during a 5–0 Nations League win over Ireland.
Honours & Awards
- U21 European Champion 2023 and Player of the Tournament.
- UEFA European Championship runner‑up 2024 with England.
- With Newcastle, he helped them lift the EFL Cup in 2024–25 their first major trophy in decades.
- Named Newcastle United Player of the Season 2023–24.
Net Worth & Money Stuff
Okay, this is where it gets interesting. He earns about £150 k per week on his Newcastle contract. But off the pitch? He raked in £3 million in image rights payments last season. His firm, Ollenotna Ltd, posted £2.9 million pre-tax and still had assets of around £1.69 million after bills. That’s not idle income that’s smart financial moves.
Social Media & Style
He’s got an adidas deal, and you can find him on Instagram, though he’s not your typical flashy influencer. He keeps it real sharing training clips, match-day moments, and the occasional thoughtful post. It fits his vibe: grounded, driven, and expressive without being showy.
Looking at the Man Behind the Numbers
Let me drop a bit of honesty here: not many players who move for big money stay down-to-earth. But Gordon? He’s got that quiet intensity. You look at his career arc from Everton kid, to Premier League heartbreaks, to Newcastle’s trophy dream and you see someone growing up fast, but still remembering where he came from. A son of Merseyside, pulled by family roots, lifted by hard work, and grounded by fatherhood and fascination with books.
