Thomas Godfrey (15 January 1904 – 1983) was a Scottish footballer who played in the Football League for Stoke City, Swindon Town and Walsall.[1]
Godfrey began his career with his local club Stenhousemuir before joining English club Stoke City in 1927.[1] He was frequently used as a backup player by Tom Mather during this three years at the Victoria Ground making 10 appearances.[1] He then spent the 1930–31 with Walsall playing 42 times scoring twice.[1] Two poor seasons with Swindon Town followed as the "Robins" failed to make much of an impression in the Third Division South and Godfrey went on to play non-league football with Folkestone and Worcester City.[1]
