Astall was born in Horwich, near Bolton, Lancashire. He was playing amateur football for Southampton when he signed professional with Plymouth Argyle in November 1947. He had previously been an unsuccessful triallist at his local side Bolton Wanderers. His league debut came in February 1948 at home to Luton Town, and he soon became a regular in the Home Park side, helping Plymouth win the Third Division South title in 1952. Due to his speed down the wing the crowd christened him Flash Astall. That same year he was selected for the England B team. In October 1953 he was signed by Second Division rivals Birmingham City for a fee of £14,000, following his Plymouth wing colleague Alex Govan to St Andrew's. He had made 194 appearances for Plymouth and scored 43 goals.The most expensive item with a signature of Gordon Astall (Signed Charles Buchan 1950s Ron Clayton Gordon Astall England Mike McGrath Eire) was sold in January 2019 for £25.21 while the cheapest item (GORDON ASTALL BIRMINGHAM CITY & ENGLAND, PLYMOUTH ARGYLE, TORQUAY SIGNED PHOTO) found a new owner for £0.99 in February 2021.
