Playing career

Goold first played Gaelic football with the Macroom minor team that won the Cork MFC title in 1948. He also won a Harty Cup medal that year as a boarder at St. Colman's College in Fermoy.[1] He later lined out with University College Cork before winning a Sigerson Cup title with University College Dublin in 1954.[2] Goold later lined out at senior level with Macroom and captained the team to the Cork SFC in 1958 before winning a second title in 1962.[3][4]

Goold first played for Cork as a member of the minor team in 1948. He joined the junior team in 1950 before immediately being drafted onto the senior team. Goold won a National League title in 1952 before winning a Munster SFC title as a substitute later that season. He enjoyed further inter-county success throughout the 1956-57 seasons, winning a second National League title and consecutive Munster SFC medals.[5] The ultimate success eluded Goold as Cork suffered back-to-back All-Ireland final defeats by Galway in 1956 and Louth in 1957.[6][7] His performances for Cork also earned inclusion on the Munster team in the Railway Cup.[8]

Death

Goold died at the Bon Secours Hospital in Cork on 25 November 2005, aged 75.[9]
