Gregory Ronald St Clair Goodridge (born July 10, 1971 in Barbados) is a former professional footballer. He has captained the Barbados national team and played professionally in the English Football League.
Goodridge, a pacy winger, signed an 18 month contract with Torquay United on the February 7, 1994, but due to work permit problems had to wait until the 24 March to complete his signing from St. Vincent side Lambada, the same team that Torquay United manager Don O'Riordan would return to a year later to sign Rodney Jack.
He made his debut as a substitute in the 1-1 draw away to Bury and soon dislodged Scott Colcombe from the side, playing eight times that season, scoring once. He became both a regular and a crowd favourite the following year with his runs with the ball and occasional long-range shooting. He moved to Queens Park Rangers in August 1995 for a fee of £350,000, but struggled to settle at Loftus Road, only appearing in the league as a substitute.
In August 1996 he moved to Bristol City for £50,000 and became a regular in their side. He lost his place in the 2000-01 season, and joined Cheltenham Town on loan on the 23 February until the end of the season, when he returned to Ashton Gate and continued to try and win a place in Danny Wilson's side. In November 2001 he returned to Torquay United on a free transfer, signing a contract until the end of the season, but his second spell at Plainmoor was less successful than the first and he was released at the end of the season.
He had an unsuccessful trial with Queens Park Rangers and returned to Barbados to play for Ellerton United, and is currently playing for Brittons Hill. Now owns a beach hut seling grass hat's.
