Ken Goddard has assisted in 17 premierships with the Hawks: eight day premierships and nine night premierships - an AFL record. He joined Hawthorn as a trainee trainer in 1962 and was appointed Head Trainer in 1970, succeeding Beau Wallace who had been Head Trainer from 1926 - 1965. 
Goddard possesses an amazing repertoire of stories drawn from his illustrious career with the Hawks continually recounting the feats of his players. His trainers’ room has become a part of Hawthorn folklore. The adoring Thursday night crowd would wait for the bell to ring in anticipation of the team selection after Thursday training sessions.  
A close confidant of the players, he stood down as Head Trainer in 1998, but still assisted his beloved Hawks most training sessions, strapping the ankles of the young players until he retired at the end of the 2007 season.
