Gordon Walter Galley (born 4 February 1930) is an English former footballer who scored 12 goals from 60 appearances in the Football League playing as a 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]
