Tony Godden

Gillingham born Tony was snapped up by West Brom from Ashford Town in 1975 and after breaking into the first team 18 months later the safe and agile goalkeeper went on to smash the Baggies record for consecutive appearances.

After eventually losing his place he accepted a loan move to Luton in March 1983 to replace the injured Jake Findlay and remained ever present until the end of that campaign and starred in the magical 1-0 win at Maine Road on the final day to ensure Division One survival.

Tony finished his League career at Peterborough at the age of 35 and after managing several non-League sides became goalkeeping coach at Rushden before joining the coaching staff at Brighton.
