Gordon Clifford was an Australian professional rugby league footballer of the 1950s. A state and national representative fullback and prodigious goal-kicker, he played his club football in Sydney mainly with Newtown, who have named him as one of their greatest ever players. A South Sydney junior player, Clifford started playing in the NSWRFL premiership for the Newtown club in 1951. He played at fullback for Newtown in their loss to Souths in the 1954 NSWRFL season's grand final, kicking six goals. In the grand final of the 1955 NSWRFL season the same two sides again faced each other. Clifford missed a 79th minute field goal attempt and Souths were again victorious. In 1956 Clifford was first selected to represent Australia in the 2nd Test against New Zealand, becoming Kangaroo No. 324. He was selected on the 1956-57 Kangaroo Tour and after the great Clive Churchill was injured in the 1st Test, Clifford took over as Australia's fullback playing in four Test matches and ten tour games and topping the tour points-scoring tally list with 94 points.
