_.Peter Goy, who died 12 April 2021, aged 82, was an English professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Goy joined Arsenal as a member of their groundstaff in 1954, also playing for the club's youth team, and became the regular goalkeeper. He turned professional in June 1955 and continued to play for the youth team until 1956. After two years of National Service he returned to the club in 1958 and was third-choice goalkeeper after Jack Kelsey and Jim Standen. In 1958-59 he played two matches for Arsenal, his debut against Leeds United on 24 February 1959 (which Arsenal won 1-0) and the second against Birmingham City on 4 May 1959. He did not play any more matches for Arsenal and in October 1960 left the club on a free transfer.
