Gordon Bartlett (born 3 December 1955) is an English former professional footballer who played as a forward.

Playing career[edit]

Bartlett was born in London. After beginning his career with West Ham United and Portsmouth,[2][3] he played for the Denver Dynamos in the North American Soccer League.[4] Following his time in the US, he returned to England and signed for non-league side Slough Town where he stayed for two years, making 43 appearances and scoring seven times.[5] He appeared in pre-season friendlies for Brentford, but failed to make a competitive appearance.[6] His playing career was cut short by injury.[7]

Managerial career[edit]

After managerial spells at Yeading, Hounslow and Southall, Bartlett joined Wealdstone as manager in June 1995.[7]

Between May 2013 and August 2017, he was the longest-serving manager in the top six tiers of the English football pyramid system.[8] On 21 August 2017, after 22 years in the role, it was announced that he had stepped down as the club's manager but would remain with the club in a backroom role.[9]
