Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Tall and well-built, Goddard used to bowl left-arm orthodox spin during his childhood and early teenage before eventually switching to swing bowling, purely because the club he joined required a pacer and that was the only slot that he could fit into. Apart from cricket, Goddard enjoyed playing soccer too but after a point, gave up the sport due to the physical nature of it. He felt that it could have a bearing on his cricket which was his primary passion. For a man as loyal and impactful as Goddard, the end to his Test career was anti-climactic. He had announced in 1969-70 that the Australia series would be his last but ended up getting dropped midway through it. Shortly afterwards, he quit first-class cricket too, signing off with a hat-trick. After his playing days, Goddard was an evangelist preacher.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
One of the great but most seldom acknowledged allrounders, Trevor Goddard is remembered for leading South Africa to a drawn series in Australia in
1963-64 after he had become captain virtually by default and his team had
been described as no-hopers by the media in both countries. Instead, the tour launched the careers of such household names as Graeme and Peter Pollock, Eddie Barlow and Colin Bland. Goddard was a walking coaching manual, a left-hander of classically correct technique with bat and ball. His play was a model of economy of effort, and he was renowned for analysing opponents' strengths and weaknesses with uncanny accuracy and speed. A natural awayswinger to the right-hander, Goddard was also able to move the ball the other way. He remains one of South Africa's most solid opening batsmen. Goddard became an evangelist preacher after his retirement.
