Gordon Britton

Gordon Richard Britton (born 10 September 1939) is a Welsh former international rugby union player.

Born in Risca, Monmouthshire, Britton was educated at Pontymister Secondary School and spent most of his career with Newport, which he joined in 1959 from hometown club Risca RFC.

Britton gained a Wales cap as a centre against Scotland at Murrayfield in the 1961 Five Nations.

In 1966, Britton played for Newport against the touring Wallabies and late in the match suffered a head knock after being tackled by three Australian players. He had to be given mouth-to-mouth on the pitch by the Newport club doctor due to breathing difficulties and went to hospital with concussion.
