Gerry Peyton

Gerry Peyton is the kind of figure I find quietly fascinating. Born in Birmingham in 1956, he was a goalkeeper with long, dependable spells at Fulham and AFC Bournemouth, the sort of career built on consistency rather than headlines. But what really catches my attention is his second act: after retiring he became a respected goalkeeping coach, including a long run at Arsenal from 2003 to 2018, and later interim coach at Odisha FC in India. Going from keeping goals to shaping the next generation of keepers, and then crossing continents to do it, shows a love of the game that clearly never faded.

Gerald Joseph Peyton (born 20 May 1956) is a football coach and former footballer who is the interim coach of Indian Super League club Odisha FC. A goalkeeper, Peyton had lengthy spells with Fulham and AFC Bournemouth. Following his retirement, he went into coaching and acted as goalkeeping coach for several teams, including Arsenal from 2003 to 2018.
