Edward Goodier (15 October 1902 – 4 November 1967) was an English professional footballer and football manager. Born in Farnworth, Lancashire, he played as a wing half for Huddersfield Town, Lancaster Town, Oldham Athletic, Queens Park Rangers, Watford, Crewe Alexandra and Rochdale.[2] He was appointed player-manager at Rochdale in 1938, and continued in that capacity during the Second World War[1] until appointed team manager of Birmingham in August 1943. His contract included provision for a two-year appointment after the war,[3] but after two months in post, he requested and obtained his release for domestic reasons,[4] after which he rejoined Rochdale as secretary-manager.[5] He went on to manage Wigan Athletic and Oldham Athletic.[6] He died in his native Farnworth at the age of 65.[1]
