**Michael Goold** (1930 – 25 November 2005) was an Irish [Gaelic footballer](/source/Gaelic_football). At club level he played with [Macroom](/source/Macroom_GAA) and was also a member of the [Cork senior football team](/source/Cork_senior_football_team).

## Playing career

Goold first played [Gaelic football](/source/Gaelic_football) with the [Macroom](/source/Macroom_GAA) minor team that won the Cork MFC title in 1948. He also won a [Harty Cup](/source/Dr_Harty_Cup) medal that year as a boarder at [St. Colman's College](/source/St_Colman's_College,_Fermoy) in [Fermoy](/source/Fermoy).[1] He later lined out with [University College Cork](/source/UCC_GAA) before winning a [Sigerson Cup](/source/Sigerson_Cup) title with [University College Dublin](/source/UCD_GAA) in 1954.[2] Goold later lined out at senior level with Macroom and [captained](/source/Captain_(sport)) the team to the [Cork SFC](/source/Cork_Senior_Football_Championship) in 1958 before winning a second title in 1962.[3][4]

Goold first played for [Cork](/source/Cork_GAA) as a member of the [minor team](/source/All-Ireland_Minor_Football_Championship) in 1948. He joined the [junior team](/source/All-Ireland_Junior_Football_Championship) in 1950 before immediately being drafted onto the [senior team](/source/Cork_senior_football_team). Goold won a [National League](/source/National_Football_League_(Ireland)) title in 1952 before winning a [Munster SFC](/source/Munster_Senior_Football_Championship) 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](/source/All-Ireland_Senior_Football_Championship) defeats by [Galway](/source/Galway_GAA) in 1956 and [Louth](/source/Louth_GAA) in 1957.[6][7] His performances for Cork also earned inclusion on the [Munster](/source/Munster_GAA) team in the [Railway Cup](/source/Railway_Cup).[8]
