Gordon West (born 24 April 1943 in Darfield, South Yorkshire) is an English former professional football goalkeeper.
He made his debut for Blackpool at the age of 17. After 33 League games for the Tangerines, he signed for Everton in March 1962 for £27,000, then a British record for a goalkeeper, replacing Albert Dunlop.
West was a regular in the Everton teams that won championship in 1962-63 and in 1969-70 and the FA Cup in 1966. He made 399 appearances for Everton and retired in 1973.
He came out of retirement after three years to play briefly for cross-Mersey rivals Tranmere Rovers. He played for Tranmere Rovers 17 times in the League.
West won three caps for England, though turned down a place in the 1970 FIFA World Cup squad because he wanted to stay at home with his family.
After giving up football, West worked in security at RAF Woodvale and is now an after dinner speaker. Former Everton and Wales goalkeeper Neville Southall is campaigning for West to be rewarded with a testimonial game by Everton for his eleven years of service.[citation needed]
