Like thousands of others, I never met him but I feel I knew him like an old friend or close family member. For a local broadcaster to have that effect is quite an achievement. It's not something you can learn on any journalism course. He simply had the knack of projecting his open, honest and warm personality directly to those listening. So sad to lose him. RIP.

Awful, awful news. As everyone says, a true Argyle legend. I have literally hundreds of clips of the great man's work and I hope we can find a way of listening to some of them again one day, as a tribute. A heartfelt Thank You, Sir Gordon.

RIP Gordon. Grew up listening to his commentary and also early breakfast before I moved away from Plymouth for work. Not only Argyle, but he did so much for the city to the point many would refer to him as Mr Plymouth.

Thoughts are with his family and loved ones.

Very sad news. Having spent a few nights in Gordon’s company over the years, he was great fun, very intelligent and of course his passion for Argyle was second to none.

An absolute legend , RIP Sparksy.
