Key Information
Nicknamed 'Lurch',[1] due to his resemblance to the butler in the television sitcom The Addams Family, he captained North Melbourne in 1971.[2]
Recruited from Edithvale-Aspendale, where he played in their 1965 Morningron Peninsula premiership,[3] he was selected in North Melbourne's first Premiership team in 1975, where he shared the ruck duties with team mate, Mick Nolan.[1] He enjoys a life membership of the North Melbourne Football Club.[4]
Goodingham finished his VFL career with a two-year stint at South Melbourne, traded in a deal that sent Peter Keenan to North Melbourne.[5] He then went to South Australia and played for three years for Woodville, the last two as playing coach.
