Gordon Parmar Hill (born 31 January 1966), better known as The Wealdstone Raider, is an English builder who gained prominence as an Internet meme. A long-time supporter of Wealdstone F.C., he gained attention due to a viral video of him heckling opposing supporters of Whitehawk F.C. at a football match in March 2013, which ultimately ended in a 1–1 draw, with phrases such as "If you want some, I'll give it ya" and "You've got no fans". However, the video did not peak in popularity until December 2014.
An online article by BBC News included The Wealdstone Raider in the 'top memes and viral videos' of December 2014. The nickname "Wealdstone Raider" came from the title of the original video uploaded by YouTube user dazman21. Coincidentally, Hill claimed his brother had the nickname of "Raider" ten years prior to the upload.
