What an inspiring story about Craig and his dedication. Will make a great coach when his finished playing

[@bwl5265]

I didn't know Craig's backstory, he went through more than most of us and came out as an absolute pro. What a champion of a person. Side note the next episode i think we all might shed some tears.

[@1969cmp]

Well done Craig Goodwin as Australia's most popular athlete in January.

[@Castro727]

Great to hear what Carl is actually saying, such a true Whyalla ukn boy 😂 Also great to hear the interaction between players and to see Tony Goodwin and his love for his boy ❤ Oh I missed the start of the livestream so had to go back and watch it! Great footage of Craig’s early years ~ so good to see that! I knew Craig was a champion the first time I ever saw him play and the lovely Tony got me a pair of signed boots 😎👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@dangoodwin5400]

True. Just wish more of the people involved got some recognition for Craig's development. He's had a lot of special people help out along the remarkable journey.

[@theslipperycow839]

So true

[@MrRedguy09]

Undoubtedly, he's been a bright talent from the start

[@waggafletcher]

Goodwin reminds me of Chippers. Dedicated and sensible pro.

[@walk2146]

Love the young blokes confidence great winning goal. Old Craig’s not too bad himself either.

[@Spiral0ut]

Well in Goody. John Walker was our coach at TTG back in the day. A very direct and passionate football fan/ coach/ man. RIP. He'd be proud of the person and player you've become. F**K FEAR. #GOYOUREDS

im just mirin at the post emo haircut lad was rockin during his early days at heart also he looks exactly like his dad lol

[@ryanwitzerman643]

jeez what an episode

[@dangoodwin5400]

As good as this story is, some due recognition should be made for some important people who had some part in this remarkable journey, be it big or small. That includes coaches, club affiliates, friends and family. I know that would obviously blow out the length of this great mini doco, but it should be noted. Side note: any juniors watching this, this shows (just like Arthur Pappas said) that outside influences besides soccer games and training develop great players nearly as much as the physical training and matches do. Just because 1 or 2 coaches said 'no' to you at some point, is not actually a barrier to playing professionally. It is very possible to make it, and you need to make all aspects of your life targetted towards making it professionally. Just keep striving and dont let fear stop you.

Great story and player. It's a wonder his time abroad at Sparta in Holland wasn't more successful.

[@dangoodwin5400]

Sporting politics played the biggest part there.

[@crazdog1673]

Goodwin Doesn't look up to Torres. Torres looks up to goodwin.
