Andrew Robert Gosney (born 8 November 1963) is an English former footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He made 70 appearances in the Football League playing for Portsmouth, York City, Birmingham City and Exeter City.[2]
Playing career
Gosney was born in Southampton, Hampshire, and began his football career as an apprentice with Portsmouth in 1979. He turned professional in November 1981, but never established himself as first choice for the club because of the consistency of Alan Knight. Over a 13-year career with the club Gosney made only 60 first-team appearances in all competitions.[3] He spent a month on loan at York City in 1991 before eventually leaving Portsmouth to join Birmingham City at the start of the 1992–93 season.[3] After one unsuccessful season with Birmingham, at the end of which the club brought in Kevin Miller from Exeter City to replace him,[4] Gosney moved in the opposite direction.[3] He was stretchered off in his only appearance for Exeter, a 6–4 home defeat to Reading.[5]
Gosney was credited by Anderton himself as the man who gave Darren Anderton the "Sicknote" nickname.[6]
