Gothard - must have done his coaching badges to be working with the All Whites and now the Phoenix?
He must be employed on the strength of his coaching ability rather than his playing career in England which was with a lot of very minor clubs - Gray's Athletic, Chelmsford, Billericay etc. and he didn't stay long at any of them:

Quite a contrast with Jonathan Gould's rather more stellar playing career.
Still, good coaches can come from humble playing backgrounds sometimes (Wenger, Van Gaal, Houllier etc.)
Another ex ACFC player joins the Nix.
NB Gothard also has 5 semi-pro England caps (1996 - 1999)
plus is in the Guinness Book of Records for his 12 game run of clean sheets 1998/99, highest in England ever.
