Gordon Gibb is the CEO of Flamingo Land Ltd and former chairman of Bradford City Football Club. ==Personal== Gordon Gibb was born in Strathaven in Scotland, moving to Yorkshire when his father, Robert Gibb, a former professional footballer, set up the family run theme park Flamingo Land. Gordon continues to live in Yorkshire with his wife and two children, but retains close links with his Scottish roots. Robert Gibb died in 1995 after a car accident on his way to an emergency board meeting at Hamilton Academical Football Club where he was chairman.〔http://archive.thisisyork.co.uk/2002/8/27/281583.html〕 Gordon and his two sisters, Vicky and Melanie took over the responsibility of the family business. The death of his father cut short Gibb's return to Scotland for higher education as he returned home to run the business. He had been reading politics, philosophy and economics at Glasgow University, before which he was educated at Woodleigh School〔http://www.woodleighschool.com/index.php/about/old-woodleighans/notable-alumni/〕 and then leading York public school St Peter's. Gibb's sporting career was also cut short when focus shifted to business rather than his football and rugby. He formerly represented Scotland Colts at Rugby Union.〔 The sporting interest has continued however; as a keen amateur boxer with Westway ABC and also time as chairman of Bradford City Football Club. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gordon Gibb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
