Richard Goddard-Crawley (born 31 March 1978) is an English retired semi-professional footballer who played as a midfielder in the Football League for Brentford. After his release in 1998, he had a 10-year career in non-League football.
Career[]
Brentford[]
After beginning his youth career in the academy at Premier League club Arsenal in 1994,[3][4] Goddard-Crawley joined Second Division club Brentford on trial in May 1996 and signed a two-year contract three months later.[5] He was an unused substitute on three occasions, before making his senior debut in the final match of the 1996–97 regular season,[6] as a 78th-minute substitute for Robert Taylor in a 1–0 defeat to Peterborough United.[7] He made two League Cup appearances early in the 1997–98 season,[8] before moving away on loan in October 1997 and returning with a fractured foot one month later.[9] Goddard-Crawley departed Brentford for the final time in March 1998,[9] having made three appearances in just under two years at Griffin Park.[10] He played the majority of his football at the club for the reserve team and made 36 appearances and scored two goals.[11]
Non-League football[]
In March 1998, Goddard-Crawley returned to Conference club Woking for a £7,500 fee, after having been on loan at the Kingfield Stadium earlier in the 1997–98 season.[5] Over the next decade he subsequently played in the Conference and Isthmian League for St Albans City, Chesham United, Harrow Borough, Thurrock, Yeading and AFC Hornchurch, before retiring in 2008.[4][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]
Post-retirement[]
After retiring from football, Goddard-Crawley returned to Arsenal as an academy physiotherapist in October 2008.[4] As of February 2020, he was running a physiotherapy business in North London.[19]
