Life and career

He started his career at Luton Town, after five years with the Hatters moved to Plymouth Argyle, and after three seasons with Plymouth he moved to Wimbledon. In the 1988 FA Cup Final, in which Wimbledon famously upset Liverpool 1–0, Goodyear was adjudged to have fouled John Aldridge, which gave Liverpool a controversial penalty. Aldridge took it, but Wimbledon goalkeeper Dave Beasant saved it.

Although being named in the squad for that Cup Final, he was not a regular in the side and only made 26 appearances in three years and was sold to Brentford, where he spent one season.

He finished his career in Hong Kong with Ernest Borel. After sustaining a major knee injury he began studying physiotherapy and returned to Luton Town as a physiotherapist in 1993. He was then a physio at Cardiff City and Chester City.
