Today, we proudly operate out of 10 times the space compared to our humble beginnings. The business eventually expanded enough to move operations out of our home and into a warehouse and showroom in a mid-town fashion district. I would go out selling by day and would be picking orders by night, and Silvana would ship and invoice while holding down the fort. For the first eight years of this journey, my wife Silvana and I ran the business from home while tending to our five young children. I decided to combine my entrepreneurial spirit with a lifelong interest in fashion, and after meeting with several clothing mills in Como, Italy, I began importing and distributing neckwear to small independent menswear stores. After a brief stint as a haberdashery sales rep, I realized it was time to venture out on my own.

Gordon looks every bit an Eddie Howe player at the moment, and I know for a fact that he's really pleased with the output he's had from him in the first four games of the season.Our history begins in 1996 in Toronto, Ontario. So much so that I think Harvey Barnes is going to have a tough time getting into the team. He just looks really suited to Newcastle United and the way they play football.

It was Gordon's through ball, cutting off the left touch line and playing a nice through ball that made van Dijk lunge in. Could have had another goal or two, setting up the sending off for Virgil van Dijk on Alexander Isak. Beside from that, he looked dangerous every time he went up against Trent Alexander-Arnold, every time he cut in from the left-hand side.

Having two top players competing for one position will always be healthy, especially when the North East club starts participating in the Champions League. Gordon's performances for England U21s may have tempted Newcastle to take a risk on the 22-year-old last season, and he was even named the Player of the Tournament during the U21 European Championships in the summer.īarnes could struggle to displace Gordon for Newcastle - Keith Downie Gordon didn't make a huge impact for the Toffees before his switch to Newcastle, scoring seven goals and providing eight assists for the Merseyside club, according to Transfermarkt, so it was a bold move from the Magpies to spend a significant fee on the youngster. New signing Barnes is yet to start a game due to Gordon's form, which is an impressive achievement for the latter considering the quality of the former. Gordon has started all four Premier League games so far, scoring a goal and providing a single assist, as per FBref. The Liverpool-born forward failed to make much of an impact in the second half of last term when he signed on the dotted line at St James' Park, but Howe has trusted him in his front line this campaign. Gordon, who is earning £60k-a-week, signed for Newcastle from struggling Everton last season during the January window for a fee of £45m, as per Sky Sports.
