From Merseyside to Tyneside - January 2023
A 21-year-old Gordon arrived at St. James' Park from Everton, ending an 11-year stint with the Toffees as well as completing his first permanent move away from his hometown city of Liverpool.
"Since I heard of the interest, I was always convinced Newcastle were for me," Gordon told newcastleunited.com.
"I think the fan base and the city really suits me as a person, the way the team are playing under the gaffer at the minute really suits me, and the club just look like they're heading in the right direction.
"I feel like it's a really big step. People haven't seen what I'm capable of yet. I think under the gaffer, and the way the club's going, I can really excel here."
Off the mark in black and white - May 2023
Initially handed the number eight shirt for Eddie Howe's side, Gordon made his Magpies debut during a 1-1 home draw against West Ham United in the second half of the 2022/23 campaign.
Gordon took time to adapt in his new surroundings before, in his fifth league start for the Magpies, scoring his first goal during a 1-1 draw against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on the final day of the season.
European champions - July 2023
Gordon was part of the England Under-21 squad which won the European U21 Championship, with the Liverpudlian forward receiving the Player of the Tournament award.
Playing all six games in Georgia as Lee Carsley's Young Lions won the competition for the first time in 39 years, Gordon scored in England's Group C win over Israel and their quarter-final victory against Portugal as well as providing an assist in their tournament opener against the Czech Republic.
AG10 - August 2023
After Allan Saint-Maximin's departure to Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahli, Gordon was awarded the number ten jersey for the Magpies' 2023/24 Premier League and Champions League campaign.
The left winger followed in the footsteps of the likes of Hatem Ben Arfa, Craig Bellamy and Peter Beardsley to wear the coveted shirt ahead of what would prove, arguably, the best season of his career to date.
A night to remember - October 2023
After gaining UEFA Champions League qualification in 2022/23 following a top-four finish in the Premier League, Newcastle's return to the competition for the first time since 2003 saw them placed in the 'Group of Death' alongside AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.
Newcastle's clash against PSG proved to be one of the club's greatest nights in recent memory as goals from Miguel Almirón, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff and Fabian Schär sealed a 4-1 win against the European giants, with Gordon playing 90 minutes under the lights at St. James' Park.
A man in form - December 2023

England debut - March 2024
After a string of bright performances at club level, Gordon was rewarded with a first senior international call-up for the Three Lions under Gareth Southgate's reign.
He made his full debut in a friendly against Brazil at Wembley Stadium, going head-to-head with Magpies teammate Bruno Guimarães in front of over 83,000 spectators.
Despite a 1-0 defeat against the five-time World champions, it was a night to remember for Gordon as a childhood dream was fulfilled.
Player of the Year winner - May 2024
Gordon's first full campaign on Tyneside saw him pick up Newcastle United's official Player of the Year award for 2023/24.
The England international registered 11 goals and ten assists in the Premier League as well as being involved in all six of the Magpies' UEFA Champions League fixtures.
Gordon was also named in England's EURO 2024 squad as the Three Lions reached the final before narrowly losing out against Spain.
Wor Flags display - September 2024
Before Newcastle's Premier League visit of champions Manchester City, supporter group Wor Flags provided a stunning visual display in tribute to Gordon.
The East Stand of St. James' Park was covered by a large surfer flag, featuring Gordon's shirt flanked by 'AG10' in gold foil on either side and the left winger repaid the home supporters with a goal in a 1-1 draw, scoring from the penalty spot.
Reflecting on the flag display, Gordon said: " I don't think fans will ever quite know what that stuff will mean.
"I've got family in the stadium watching. I've got a little son so those are memories that will stay with me forever.
"I don't think they quite know what it meant to me. I heard about it yesterday but I don't think, until I'd seen it today, I knew how I'd feel. I was almost crying on the pitch."
"Running down the wing, makes the Geordies sing" - December 2024
During the 2024/25 season, Gordon began to rediscover his exciting form shown the season prior after recording ten goal involvements in the space of 11 competitive matches.
On target in Newcastle's 3-0 win against Aston Villa on Boxing Day, netting a stunning effort inside the opening two minutes at St. James' Park, Gordon scored United's first goal of 2025 during a 2-1 away win at Tottenham Hotspur as well as scoring in the Emirates FA Cup and Carabao Cup against Bromley and Arsenal respectively.
Carabao Cup winners - March 2025
Newcastle ended their 70-year wait for a piece of major domestic silverware after claiming a 2-1 win against Liverpool in the 2025 Carabao Cup final.
Despite being suspended for the final following a straight red card in United's FA Cup defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion, Gordon played a major part in helping the Magpies secure a second cup final in the last three seasons.
Newcastle claimed a 4-0 aggregate victory against Arsenal in the semi-final stage, with Gordon netting in both legs of the cup tie.
Champions League history - February 2026
Newcastle returned to Europe's top table after claiming fifth place in the Premier League during the 2025/26 season.
Gordon created history for the club after scoring ten times in 12 fixtures, eclipsing Alan Shearer's previous record for most goals scored in a single Champions League campaign for the Magpies (6).
After netting four times in his opening three matches, Gordon's finest night on the European stage came in Newcastle's 6-1 win against Qarabag FK, scoring four times in the first half of the last-16 play-off tie in Baku.
Gordon now stands as the club's all-time leading goalscorer in the Champions League and became just the third Newcastle player to score a hat-trick in the tournament after Shearer and Tino Asprilla.
Everyone at Newcastle United would like to thank Anthony for his excellent service and wish him the best of luck for the future.
