Biographical Text
Introduced as a signing from Lancaster Town ahead of the 1913/14 season, left-back Jimmy Goddard did not feature in a Southern League first-team fixture during his short time with the Grecians.
Spending no more than four or five months at St James' Park, and with Sammy Strettle the first-team left-back, Jimmy switched to West Ham United in exchange for Fred Goodwin on Boxing Day 1913. Once in East London, he immediately made his first and only appearance for his new club against Swindon Town on 27 December 1913.
Jimmy died not far from Lancaster in 1968.

Another one that I 'accidently' found info about. He was injured in WW1 but can't find anything further about his football career. Friends with Orr.
