Walford's career was topped and tailed by games against touring international sides: he made his debut against the West Indians at Worcester in August 1923, making a career-best 68 not out in the second innings; while almost exactly a year later he played against the South Africans at the same venue. In between he appeared in five County Championship matches.

Gordon was born in Bridgnorth, Shropshire; he died at the age of 67 in Brighton.[1]
