He was often referred to by his nickname "Cowboy".[1] Having previously played locally for Amington Village, Goffin played briefly for Tamworth before moving to Aston Villa as an amateur in August 1937. He signed professional forms with the club in December 1937. During World War II, Goffin made 82 appearances for Villa, scoring 47 goals, and also guested for Tamworth, Birmingham, Leicester City, Nottingham Forest and Swansea Town. In 1952, he scored four goals in a 19–2 win against RAF Lichfield in the Birmingham & District League.[2] He remained at Villa until his transfer to Walsall in August 1954. In all, he made 255 first team appearances for Villa, scoring 89 goals.[1] Of these, 156 appearances and 39 goals came in the Football League. He played for Walsall for one season, making eight League appearances.[3] In 1955, Goffin became the first manager of Tamworth – the club had previously been run by committee – when he rejoined the club as player-manager.[4]{{sfn|Clayton|2011|page=12}} While at the club, he combined his role with a job as a collector for the East Midlands Electricity Board. In February 1958, Goffin resigned as manager and was replaced by Vernon Chapman. He continued playing until the end of the 1960–61 season.{{sfn|Clayton|2011|page=13}} He was awarded a testimonial in May 1961.{{sfn|Clayton|2011|page=16}} Managerial statistics
