Jonathan "Jon" Goodman (born 2 June 1971 in Walthamstow) is an Anglo-Irish former professional footballer, and was the Sports Scientist at Reading before leaving to concentrate on his consultancy business.
During the 1989–90 season, Goodman was playing non-league football at the now-defunct Leyton Wingate. At the end of the season he signed, along with the team's manager George Wakeling, for Bromley where he was immediately put on a contract. After playing well in just a handful of pre-season friendlies, he was signed by Millwall for a £34,500 fee in August 1990. Goodman made his Millwall debut on 26 December as a substitute at The Den against Leicester City.
Goodman played 110 overall games for The Lions, scoring 37 goals. He moved to Wimbledon in November 1994 for the joint fee of £1,300,000. which included Kenny Cunningham. His career was cut short by injury and Goodman joined Reading as a sports scientist in the summer of 2005 following the departure of Niall Clark to West Ham United. Goodman has a sports science degree from the Roehampton Institute.
Northern Ireland manager Lawrie Sanchez included Goodman in his team as a conditioning coach for the Euro 2008 qualifying campaign.[1]
