Not only is Don my favourite SAFC player of all time, but my first Black hero as a child, as I'm sure he was to many others. If I ever met him I'd probably cry, that's how much I looked up to him as a kid. In an era when racism was rife in the NE, his presence did more to combat the racism in the area than he could possibly know. Every white mackem kid had a picture of big bad Don on their bedroom wall. He totally changed my outlook on life and my attitude towards people with a different skin tone than my own. Love him to bits, always will. The number 8 will always remind me of the legend that is Don Goodman.
One of the best podcasts I have watched. Don Goodman is a legend. Always enjoy listening to him on co-commentator duty, as he speaks with experience and so much sense. It was great to hear more about his career and he is so articulate with his description of stories. Some great research and questions to bring the best out of him as well. Great work chaps
Don't talk shite. It's had plenty of media attention over the years. Those watching football in those years don't forget it. And as a result of the tragedy there was an in depth review of old wooden stands at football grounds.
Out of all the guests if i bump into any of the in a quiet bar i hope its don. Seems such nice bloke. Speaks open and honestly. Top show again lads thanks
Growing up in Wolverhampton (though it was well after Don played for us), we all knew who he was and how much he did for Wolves. Always a pleasure to see him about wolves town, well after he stopped playing for us also; visiting my primary school, spotting him often driving around in his merc with license plate 'd0n 1..something like that', bumping into him at wolves train station with bag full of papers on his way to commentate etc. etc. Everyone always reflects what a gent he is. He does a cracking job on SKY and great to hear more about his career, great podcast
I'm not going to lie. I never saw Don Goodman play live. But, Don Goodman is without doubt from the last era of when footballers were.footballers. A great character of the game because you could see (and from a mile off) how much he wanted to win. Great interview. Would LOVE to see.you all get hold of Steve Bull,.another "Old Gold" LENGEND - A.F.C. fan
Loved Super Don at the Wolves.. One of my best memories is us all walking (slightly lubricated on 8 hours alcohol) through Cardiff together with him on the way to the 2004 playoff final at the Millennium stadium .
Yes it's so good to see someone not playing the victim. My dad taught me Offence is given not taken it's a choice to be offended or not. I've never been offended in my life but I've also I've never had a full crowd abusing me I don't know if I could handle that so I have massive respect for how he took and and he has recognised it's changed now. Like he said stuff that people get offended about today is water off a ducks back to him
Remember Don when he played at Bradford City. A legend. His stories about Bobby Campbell (also a City legend) were quality. He played in a very, very good side and i always followed his career. Quality guy.
Fantastic Don....Spoke brilliantly and was a great player for the Bantam's ....Well done for the interview lads,as always great pace and well constructed.....Thanks
Don goodman a brilliant free transfer on football manager 2001 . Always signed him and he won me the premier league once . Had him as a striker partnership with Micheal Owen at Liverpool. The scored a bagful of goals lol
Love Don Goodman, he took time when I was a kid to come into our coach after his game for West Brom at Blackburn, when our lads team had played a Blackburn youth team earlier on the day and then gone to watch the baggies beat Blackburn in the old league division 2 , and said a few inspiring words. Not many Pro’s would take time out after running for 90 minutes. Thanks Don 🙏 Edit- also an articulate and knowledgeable commentator.
I remember him being very quick & powerful, I remember seeing him advertising his personal fitness services after he retired, glad he moved back into football, he's a good talker.
Don & Tony Ford were my heroes for the baggies in the late 80's was gutted when he left for Sunderland , my first experience of supporting a club that usually sells it's best players couldn't umderstand why my hero had left , was even more gutted when he joined the Dingles, cracking player though
We've ALWAYS done that; this is why we'll never build any sort of legacy. I remember being broken hearted when Laurie Cunningham left, then Bryan Robson, then the inevitable descent into mediocrity. Ron Saunders was one of the worst things to happen to us; he even sold Bully too, what at plank.
Remember a great goal Don scored for Bradford City against Derby in the 84/85 season at valley parade, turned Kenny Burns and left him for dead.Also remember a hat trick v Tow Law Town in the fa cup
Don was my first footballing hero. His pace was electric. Was gutted when he left for Sunderland, but we replaced him with Bob Taylor, and the rest is history.
Graham Taylor was a Watford legend , along with Sir Elton John they took them from the old 4th Division to the First Division plus an FA Cup final RIP Mr Taylor
I know the name but he was a bit before my time so didn’t know what to expect, but what a great guy. Really funny, it’s obvious he’s comfortable speaking publicly and keeping it interesting
Great listening to Don, but disappointed with the headline, i heard racial slurs from my manager , Don says things were said in them days, and never thought it as they were racist
If you're ginger , you're ginger bastard If you're fat , you're a fat bastard If you're bald you're a bald bastard Water off a ducks back .......well said Don
He hates leeds and hes from here ,due to racism at elland from 60s to late 80s ,we only had 2 or 3 black players ever to play for us ,so alot of black boys would support arsenal in 90s, due what their fathers told them about the abuse they would of got if they attended.
what a top man ,love these interviews ,some players you hate and you watch these and realise they are actually top people who were just doing a job ,you can easily forget with all the hype footballers ar just human beings and doing there best for their families.
Now he has got to talk about the little wee fight he had with Kacy Keller, I was at that game nearly 30 years ago and I still haven't forgotten it. I remember Keller really playing on it and getting him sent off, then he turned the crowd and winked at us. Basically Keller pretended he was struck in the eye but on the camera you could see there was no real contact. Sure goodman got sent off for it if my memory stands right.
Another brilliant podcast from my favourite trio proper good crack lads I'd recommend patreon to anyone who hasn't already got it only a few quid a month well worth it undr the cosh fucking brilliant 😎👍❤️
I remember that game at molineux that don references. I honestly don't remember a game as dominated by one team as wolves did that day. They absolutely murdered bolton, how it was only 2 1 I still don't know
Atkinson signed and worked with those players because they had exceptional ability and made his job as a manager far easier. It shouldn’t give him a pass for that remark.
When I saw this pop up on my notifications I was reluctant to watch as he works for Sky. Folk can lose their jobs as we've seen by saying what is deemed as the wrong thing by those PC shithouses. However, having viewed it, he wasn't afraid to address any issues. What a top bloke as well. Laughs all the way and a genuinely entertaining podcast. The Terry Yorath afro comment had me in stitches as did his impression of big Mick 😂

The Bradford City was & always be a bit of a forgotten tragedy. It never got the media attention it deserved. RIP the 56.
Don't talk shite. It's had plenty of media attention over the years. Those watching football in those years don't forget it. And as a result of the tragedy there was an in depth review of old wooden stands at football grounds.
Not forgotten in Bradford and that's all that matters , don't want a media circus following around seeking justice
We do our own thing every last home game, we don’t want media attention or any of that!
Don comes across as a top bloke. Really enjoyed this one.
Out of all the guests if i bump into any of the in a quiet bar i hope its don. Seems such nice bloke. Speaks open and honestly. Top show again lads thanks

Good man. Great summariser, with an exceptional voice! 😀
One of the nicest men in football ⚽️ I loved the interview. Absolutely fantastic 👏
Great listen 👌🏻

Don is one of the most under rated co commentators around, great guy
Big bad Don still well remembered at Sunderland..was there on his debut..liked him..up front with Phil Gray..great pod lads x
What a warrior Goodman was, you’d rather have him with you than against you. A great guy too.
Loved him at Sunderland. I was only a kid but great memories of big bad Don.
Loved Super Don at the Wolves.. One of my best memories is us all walking (slightly lubricated on 8 hours alcohol) through Cardiff together with him on the way to the 2004 playoff final at the Millennium stadium
.
Really refreshing hearing him talk about racism and abuse and how he used a common sense approach
Yes it's so good to see someone not playing the victim. My dad taught me Offence is given not taken it's a choice to be offended or not. I've never been offended in my life but I've also I've never had a full crowd abusing me I don't know if I could handle that so I have massive respect for how he took and and he has recognised it's changed now.

@@babygravey lol, there you go downplaying racism
I remember watching Don for Bradford City when I was a kid and he was brilliant. When he picked up the ball there was always a buzz
what a great guy. really knows how to tell a story and hilarious to match
Brilliant podcast, Don was class as a guest & loved his Mick McCarthy impression 😂😂
Remember Don when he played at Bradford City. A legend. His stories about Bobby Campbell (also a City legend) were quality. He played in a very, very good side and i always followed his career. Quality guy.
Fantastic Don....Spoke brilliantly and was a great player for the Bantam's ....Well done for the interview lads,as always great pace and well constructed.....Thanks
Don wasn't bad either
Don goodman a brilliant free transfer on football manager 2001 . Always signed him and he won me the premier league once . Had him as a striker partnership with Micheal Owen at Liverpool. The scored a bagful of goals lol
Enjoyed that one! Top man top stories - cheers Don

Edit- also an articulate and knowledgeable commentator.
One of the best co coms around, no doubt about it👏🏻
I have watched a lot of your stuff, this one, in my humble opinion, is the best, thoroughly enjoyable, keep 'em coming.
I remember him being very quick & powerful, I remember seeing him advertising his personal fitness services after he retired, glad he moved back into football, he's a good talker.
Loved him during his spell with us at Walsall. He was immense in the Play Off final against Reading, great memories.
Paul Dyson played in the same South Birmingham side as Gary Thompson and my brother Steve. good days...
Don was an iconic player and he was always game at Millwall. Top bloke and funny too.
Super eloquent - great episode
What a guy Don is. Great craic this? one of the best cosh eps
Love the pod cast but definitely missing the away days you guys do 👌
that mick Mccarthy impression 🤣🤣🤣
Don has just got himself another fan. What a gent.
Don & Tony Ford were my heroes for the baggies in the late 80's was gutted when he left for Sunderland , my first experience of supporting a club that usually sells it's best players couldn't umderstand why my hero had left , was even more gutted when he joined the Dingles, cracking player though

It still hasn't changed at West Brom. Awful owners we've got now. Wish the Chinese would sell up and go.
Don Eladio + Saul Goodman = Don Goodman
Strong episode this one lads. Enjoyed it.
Remember a great goal Don scored for Bradford City against Derby in the 84/85 season at valley parade, turned Kenny Burns and left him for dead.Also remember a hat trick v Tow Law Town in the fa cup
Yet another excellent episode. Lovely chap ♥️♥️♥️💯
"Super Donny Goodman!" An integral part of the KGB at Wolves. 😁👏🏻🐺
Don goodman was loved at sunderland. Class person
What a Brilliant fella 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
no wonder why everyone loved Don - what a bloke
Dom was great when he came to the baggies,he was electric,it’s a shame he played for the club down the road but he always comes across as a nice chap.
Love he's Mindset 🙌🏼
Don was my first footballing hero. His pace was electric. Was gutted when he left for Sunderland, but we replaced him with Bob Taylor, and the rest is history.
Good at accents an impressions is our don
As an Australian, I can confirm we love the joint.
Graham Taylor was a Watford legend , along with Sir Elton John they took them from the old 4th Division to the First Division plus an FA Cup final RIP Mr Taylor
Cracking episode
What an absolute football legend
Great episode
I know the name but he was a bit before my time so didn’t know what to expect, but what a great guy. Really funny, it’s obvious he’s comfortable speaking publicly and keeping it interesting
Superb podcast.
Any chance you could get Ricky Hill on the pod? Absolutely great player from a fantastic era.
Or big Mick! Two Hatters legends.
What a decent fellow Don is !! my respects good man 👌funny billy whitehirst got brought up again 😂
What an eloquent electrician and a great footballer
That was a belter
Great ethic life is tough.. use it as fire 🔥 dont complain .
Class impressions of Mick McCarthy 😭😭😭😢 Great podcast lads
MOT Leeds Leeds Leeds
Great listening to Don, but disappointed with the headline, i heard racial slurs from my manager , Don says things were said in them days, and never thought it as they were racist
Exactly what I was thinking.
@@kieransimpson4965 👍👍
If you're ginger , you're ginger bastard
If you're fat , you're a fat bastard
If you're bald you're a bald bastard
Water off a ducks back .......well said Don
“Racism was okay back in the day as everyone said it” is what I got from that comment
It's called virtue signalling. It's the most cowardly way to go about things
Great interview lads, really disappointed there was no mention of his time at motherwell though.
Another great vid love the impressions 😂
His Mick McCarthy impression was epic.
Surprised his goal for Wolves against Leeds in the QF of the FA Cup at Elland Road was not mentioned. Must have been a proud moment for him!
He hates leeds and hes from here ,due to racism at elland from 60s to late 80s ,we only had 2 or 3 black players ever to play for us ,so alot of black boys would support arsenal in 90s, due what their fathers told them about the abuse they would of got if they attended.
He was released by Leeds as a kid. He’s forever bitter.
Best impression of Bobby Campbell I’ve heard 😂
Fantastic this
Big Don!
Pod starts 8:56
Doing God's work
what a top man ,love these interviews ,some players you hate and you watch these and realise they are actually top people who were just doing a job ,you can easily forget with all the hype footballers ar just human beings and doing there best for their families.
Got to get big mick on at some point 🎩
don is a touch of class and a laugh 🙌
When's Phil stamp on ? His stories on juninho 🇧🇷 ravanelli 🇮🇹 Emmerson 🇧🇷 hammy Ricard 🇨🇴 heil be a belta 💯
Any chance of getting #BobTaylor #WBA #Legend on
Brilliant commentator.....
Would love to get bully on there
My hero
Bobby Gould also offered big John Hartson out. It didn't go too well for him then either.
Tremendous lads, top top man ⚽️👏⚽️👏⚽️
Jon Parkin "This generation are as soft as a tub of spunk" surely Barnsley Council will have a statue of Parky in the near future 😂😂😂
Don Goodman very interesting podcaster. And brought back memories of my mum having a Talbot Sunbeam car 😂
Now he has got to talk about the little wee fight he had with Kacy Keller, I was at that game nearly 30 years ago and I still haven't forgotten it.
I remember Keller really playing on it and getting him sent off, then he turned the crowd and winked at us.
Basically Keller pretended he was struck in the eye but on the camera you could see there was no real contact.
Sure goodman got sent off for it if my memory stands right.
Another brilliant podcast from my favourite trio proper good crack lads I'd recommend patreon to anyone who hasn't already got it only a few quid a month well worth it undr the cosh fucking brilliant 😎👍❤️
What a decent fella, I think Bobby Gould did the boxing fight with Wales players too lol
One of the first player I can remember watching at motherwell growing up
No mention of his time up here though
@@hodge8762 was hoping to hear a bit about his time up here
This fella hates Forest but I will begrudgingly watch
Let's get some off these old school managers on
Proper old school, played when it was a mans game
Dons Sunderland Team were a strange one, bottom, mid table, year on year but they rarely conceded more than 35 goals a season.
I remember that game at molineux that don references. I honestly don't remember a game as dominated by one team as wolves did that day. They absolutely murdered bolton, how it was only 2 1 I still don't know
His Barnsley Mick impression is better than his commentary 😂😂
Atkinson signed and worked with those players because they had exceptional ability and made his job as a manager far easier. It shouldn’t give him a pass for that remark.
This is a classic...
The mick marthy impression just after 01:31:19
cheers
great player for motherwell
Top top man
DAVID HAYE LOOKING ROUGH 🤣🤣
