Andrew James Goodchild (4 April 1892 - 2 October 1950) was an English football goalkeeper who played for Manchester City and was their goalkeeper in the 1926 FA Cup Final.

Playing career

Born in Southampton, he signed for Southampton in September 1909 after two trial matches. At the Dell he was understudy to first choice 'keeper Tom Burrows. He made his first team debut in the final match of the 1909-10 season at home to Reading. In the following season Burrows lost his place to Arthur Brown who had returned to the "Saints" after three years with Portsmouth and Goodchild dropped down to third choice goalkeeper. He made only four appearances in the 1910-11 season and was released at the end of the season as "surplus to requirements" [cite book | author=Duncan Holley & Gary Chalk | title=The Alphabet of the Saints| publisher= ACL & Polar Publishing | year=1992| pages=p.145|id=ISBN 0-9514862-3-3]

He then obtained employment in Southampton Docks before Manchester City were alerted to his availability by Jimmy Yates, who was now Southampton's scout. Goodchild became a regular in City's first team over the next sixteen years appearing over 200 times between 1911 and 1927, including appearing on the losing side in the 1926 FA Cup Final against Bolton Wanderers. He also made over 100 appearances in War League matches during World War I; his total appearances for City in all first team matches was 347.
