[edit] Career
During his playing days, Salmon was a goalkeeper, best known for his ten year spell at Charlton Athletic. He started as a trainee with Blackburn Rovers, making his debut in a 1-1 draw against Chelsea. He also gained lots of experience early in his career with Chester City, Stockport County, Bolton Wanderers and Wrexham before joining the Addicks in 1989. In and out of the first team at Charlton over the years due to a catalogue of injuries, he made 148 league appearances, before a serious cruciate ligament injury, sustained in 1998 against Manchester City at Maine Road, put an end to his 1st Team career. He finished his playing career at Premier League team Ipswich Town, as the back up keeper to England goalkeeper Richard Wright. He retired in 2002 having made around 500 1st team appearances and took up coaching.
[edit] Coaching career
In 2002 he joined Arsenal as goalkeeping coach. He also coached the 1st Team keepers at Gillingham from 2002-2004. He remained with Arsenal until he emigrated to Canada with his family in 2007.[1] Currently he is the goalkeeper coach for Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the MLS.[2]
A highly-qualified and respected coach, Salmon holds an English Football Association Goalkeeping 'A' License and a UEFA 'A' Coaching License.
