Gordon Walter Galley (born 4 February 1930) is an English former professional footballer who scored 12 goals from 60 appearances in the Football League playing as an outside left for Darlington in the years following the Second World War. He was also on the books of Sheffield Wednesday, but never played for them in the League.[2] Teammate Baden Powell described him as "a lanky, tricky sort of player":[3] After a transfer request produced no offers, Galley joined the police.[4]
Galley's younger brothers Maurice and John Galley also played in the Football League.[5][6][7]
