Chic Brodie (footballer)

Charles Thomas George Brodie (22 February 1937 – 24 April 2000) was a Scottish professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

[3][4] He spent four years with the club, playing understudy to the popular German goalkeeper Bert Trautmann,[4] but failed to break into the first team and departed in July 1957.

[6] Brodie secured a move back to the top-flight when he joined Wolverhampton Wanderers for a then-club record £9,000 in February 1961.

[1] The incident was one of a number which occurred during Brodie's career with the club, which included being struck on the knee by a stone thrown from the crowd and finding a hand grenade in his goalmouth (discovered to be a replica).

[11] In 1971 Brodie resumed playing, albeit at a semi-professional level, with Southern League Premier Division club Margate.

[6] He remained with the Gate for two seasons and was in goal when the team lost 11–0 to Bournemouth in an FA Cup match in November 1971.
