Biography[edit]

Ormond was born in Harthill, Scotland, on 10 October 1950, and migrated with his family to New Zealand in 1961. He became a naturalised New Zealand citizen in 1979.[1]

Ormond scored the winner on his full All Whites debut in a 1–0 win over Australia on 13 June 1979[2] and ended his international playing career with seven A-international caps to his credit.[3] His debut goal was the only international goal he scored in official FIFA matches.[4] He earned his final cap in a 3–0 loss to Canada on 18 September 1980.[2]

Ormond comes from good football pedigree, his uncle Willie Ormond represented Scotland at the 1954 FIFA World Cup as a player and the 1974 FIFA World Cup as manager, while his father Bert Ormond and brother Ian Ormond[5] and daughter Vicki Ormond also represented New Zealand.[6]
