Dave Latchford

David Barry Latchford (born 9 April 1949) is an English former footballer who made 208 appearances in the Football League and 8 in the Scottish League playing as a goalkeeper. He is the older brother of former England international striker Bob Latchford and Celtic goalkeeper Peter Latchford.

Latchford made his League debut in April 1969 in a 2–1 win at Bury, but with Jim Herriot, Paul Cooper and Mike Kelly also at the club it took another four years for him to establish himself as undisputed first choice. Even then, manager Freddie Goodwin brought in Welsh international Gary Sprake, but Latchford soon regained his first team place, eventually losing it permanently when new manager Willie Bell signed Jimmy Montgomery. Latchford won the club's Player of the Year award in 1973. He left for Motherwell in 1978, followed by spells at Bury, Barnsley, and in non-League football.

After retiring from playing football he became a funeral director, and later became superintendent of cemeteries in Solihull, while coaching for a time at Solihull Borough.
