Abstract
As a young surgeon in the 1950s I, among the rest of my contemporaries, revered Sir Gordon Gordon-Taylor (‘G-squared-T’) as a brilliant technical surgeon, teacher and father figure. When I was a senior registrar in Oxford, one of his former registrars at the Middlesex Hospital, Mr Tim Till, invited him to visit. Gordon-Taylor said that he wanted to see the ‘young men’ operate, and I was delegated to do a resection of a rectal cancer in front of the great man. He was full of charm and kindness as he watched us, having taken off his jacket and put a gown over his waistcoat, wing collar and bow tie! This year marks the 50th anniversary of his death.
