Archibald Lee "Archie" Goodall (3 Jan 1865 – 20 November 1929) was an Irish footballer who made 429 appearances in the Football League for Preston North End, Aston Villa, Derby County, Glossop and Wolverhampton Wanderers. He won 10 caps at full international level for Ireland. Goodall could play in the centre half and forward positions.〔 Goodall made 423 appearances and scored 52 goals for Derby County. He also served as club captain and established a club record for consecutive league appearances. Goodall was employed regularly as a centre half and made great use of the shoulder charge. His stamina and shear physical presence also made him very effective in this position. During his career Goodall also set three age records. He was the oldest player to score an international goal during the 19th century, the oldest player to score for Ireland and is the oldest player ever to play for Wolves. Goodall also proved to be a controversial character. In 1894 he refused to play an extra half-hour of the United Counties League Cup final against West Bromwich Albion because he said his contract ended after 90 minutes and in 1898 he tried to off-load his extra FA Cup final tickets to a ticket tout. Goodall's older brother, John Goodall, was also a notable footballer and played for Preston North End, Derby County and England. Despite having Scottish parents and being raised in Kilmarnock, the Goodall brothers were ineligible to play for Scotland because of their birthplaces. As a result they played for their countries of birth and thus became the first brothers in world football to play for different national teams. ==Early years== Goodall's parents were Richard Goodall and Mary Lee who were married on 31 Dec 1860 in Tarbolton, Ayr, Scotland () Goodall's father was a soldier in the British Army and was stationed in London where John Goodall was born in 1863. Within the following year he was posted to Belfast where Archie was born in 1865 (). The family eventually settled in Kilmarnock, where the brothers spent the majority of their childhoods. As a youth, Archie played for several clubs in the Merseyside area, including Everton. In 1887 he joined his brother at Preston North End, and in the inaugural English League season 1888–89 they played a couple of games together in the forward line. Archie then joined Aston Villa for £100 in October 1888. During his brief spell at Villa he proved an effective inside-right, scoring 7 goals in 14 league appearances. 〔(Richard Goodall Marriage )〕 〔(Archibald Goodall Birth )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Archie Goodall」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
