Gordon: Leaving Everton, Newcastle Ambition & England Hopes

On this week’s episode on The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, we are joined by Newcastle United and England winger Anthony Gordon.
Gary Neville meets Gordon along Whitley Bay beach and start off with the first part of quick-fire questions, where the Liverpudlian opens up about the importance of psychology and meditation has had on his game.
Gordon made a huge decision to move to Newcastle from Everton in January 2022 and talks about life at St James Park under Eddie Howe, his own ambitions and the clubs goals as he enjoys his most prolific spell in professional football to date.
With the upcoming Euros and having made his senior England debut in March’s international friendlies against Brazil and Belgium, the 23-year-old will be looking to replicate last summers achievements that seen him named player of the tournament as England lifted the under-21 European trophy.
Lastly Quick-Fire Questions resume where Gordon reveals his best goal, who he’d want to take a last-minute penalty to save his life and which former-team mate Gordon reminds Gary of in terms of self-confidence.

Anthony Gordon is a big reason why I get frustrated with Marcus Rashford. He has the right attitude and determination. He knows his strengths and is always dangerous, running at defenders. Throughout Newcastle’s injury crisis, Gordon has always been available, running his arse off without complaining or sulking. He takes responsibility on the pitch like a proper footballer.

[@johnmichaelson9173]

"Get frustrated with" Mate I'm done with Rashford, he's just gone to far. It's like he's worked harder at failing than he has at being successful. I'm thinking it would be better for everyone if he went to another club.

You shouldn't as we generally only get to see what they do on the pitch or when they fck up and get in the papers. Transfers and being selected for the team are based on all the stuff we don't see and assessed by professionals with loads of insight and data available. The media pile on to drive conversation/interaction. Fans often don't fully understand how hard playing at the premiership level is and how bad a player can look one week despite maybe still being in the top 0.01% of footballers.

Top interview from GazNev and i gotta say quite an impressive young man , confident without being arrogant 👍🏻👍🏻

[@harrison3879]

So impressed by Anthony Gordon, shows such amazing maturity and a deep understanding of himself and the game, so many other young players in the EPL could learn from his great habits he has in his life! So proud to see him in an England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 shirt also! What a great 👍 role model

[@ckm5217]

What a man, what an inspiration. Keep doing what you’re doing brother, keep learning and you’ll reach your goals. 🎵 Makes the Geordies sing, Gordon!

[@truthfactory8139]

Rio Ferdinand once played clips and talked about how smart he is as a player. This interview confirms Anthony is different. I have enjoyed watching and Isak destroy top defenders in the PL. Anthony is a top class player and if England take him, he'll not let them down. Speed, tenacity, intelligence, skill, he has it all. Go Anthony, you and Isak are a joy to watch!

BEST MOVE HE WILL EVER MAKE MADE For newcastle as a supporters from n ireland the is among the best people in the world so kind

[@elliottsill5992]

Unreal. Definitely the most eye opening interview you've done.

[@jackw9048]

i love how he came across, been backing him from the day he signed for us despite the outside noise, what a player he is, likeable, humble and most surprising relatable. That’s very very rare from a player my age

[@noreturn4396]

Love this guy and his intensity - what a consummate professional. Unpretentious, no bling or flash. Others would do well to take note.

[@chrishaswell4405]

Was extremely sceptical about this signing thought we could of spent that 40m someone better but my god hes changed my opinion the 1st half season he wasnt starting seemed like he was unhappy coming off as a sub and didnt think he would settle but this season hes been the biggest success. Absolutely fair play he been unbelievable and im propa buzzing we signed him and hope he stays for long time he works his socks off for 90 minutes and hes added so much to his game and hes the perfect type of player for up here. HWTL

[@jamiekirkbride3414]

Class lad and class player. We're buzzing to have him at the toon, he's loved up North.

[@MooreTommy3912]

Great interview - before this I had the same impression of Gordon as probably most did, wasnt too sure of him and felt like he might have been a bit "cocky". My opinion of him has totally changed, and am so happy for him that he doesnt let others opinions get to him, but is more than happy to change their opinion if given the opportunity. Wish him all the best for a great career!

[@jordangeldart9698]

Great interview. Love Anthony Gordon more each time i see him.

[@stevekeenan9032]

One of the best interviews Gary a young man to admire

[@She4rer]

What a signing he has been. I was doubtful at the start but my god he’s proved me and so many others wrong. What a player 👏

[@cjohnno5367]

Brilliant interview from Gary and what a remarkable young man Anthony is hope he goes all the way in whatever he does 👍

[@jamesellison6746]

What an absolute credit Anthony Gordon is to Newcastle utd and for the younger generation as a whole ,I'm amazed at how well rounded and polite he is ,just a great young gentleman and nice to see

[@sogston]

Me thinks G Nev was very impressed with Gordan and so was I!! What a lovely lad with a amazing attitude. Keep reaching for the stars lad.

[@kwannyyy]

I’m impressed by Anthony even more after this interview. What a fine player Newcastle have. Putting a good name on scousers too 😂👏🏻 I hope he can get to the top and win a major trophy

[@ULT1MAT3B]

This lad can easily be one of the best in the game, his attitude is everything you could wish for in a young player. When he said "when we win a trophy (at Newcastle)" that just made me love him more. He knows what can be done with hard work. Well done #AG10 and you should definitely be in the England Squad.

[@Liverpo01.51-pr5xl]

We Loved Gordon and Richarlison at Everton 💙 our team misses them both 💙

[@davidgrey6816]

I have a new respect for Anothony. He's really focused

[@jddrummy37]

I see Gordon in a completely different way now, thought he’d be more arrogant etc but shouldn’t of judged him like that, didn’t like him much because he played at Everton but good to see him doing well at Newcastle now and hopefully he just gets better and better🤝

[@agape4unme]

This is by far the best Overlap interview I have seen. I’m an Evertonian but am shocked at how wrong my perception of Anthony Gordon was. Top lad, very impressive. Also, well done Gary, you are a better host than you think.

[@jayaychare7318]

Huge reservations with him coming to Newcastle and then the public outburst while getting subbed . Complete 180 . Amazing for the toon

[@Mas_ter_mind]

This guy is such an authentic human! So driven and I wish we had one player of this Ilk in manutd
