Tony Goodchild is a former Australian rules footballer who played for Sturt in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL).[1][2] According to Jeff Pash, Goodchild was "the hardiest marker of them all. He gets grimly to that front position, sets himself, and stays there. Strength, with that characteristic habit of determination, does it".[3] In 1959, Goodchild was awarded the T.S. O'Halloran Trophy as best on ground for South Australia against Victoria.[4]
