Timothy David "Tim" Flowers (born 3 February 1967) is an English former professional footballer and goalkeeping coach.
He played as a goalkeeper from 1984 until 2003. He was notably part of the Blackburn Rovers side that won the Premier League in 1995 and earned 11 caps for England. He also played for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Southampton, Swindon Town, Leicester City, , Coventry City and Manchester City.
In May 2014 Flowers became goalkeeping coach of championship club Nottingham Forest. He was hired as part of Stuart Pearce's backroom staff. In February 2015 Flowers left the club after the departure of Pearce and appointment of Dougie Freedman - he left alongside Steve Wigley and Brian Eastick, who had worked alongside him as colleagues.
Flowers was born in Kenilworth and began his career with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1984. He quickly broke into the first team, becoming their regular goalkeeper by his 18th birthday, but his breakthrough came at the bleakest time in the club's history, as the two seasons he spent there both ended in relegation (in 1984–85 to the Third Division and in 1985–86 to the Fourth. After Wolves fell into the Fourth Division to complete a hat-trick of successive relegations, they had to sell Flowers as part of the effort to avoid bankruptcy.
