THE EX-FILES
David McGoldrick
EACH WEEK UTB CATCHES UP WITH THE PROGRESS OF SOME OF THE NAMES WHO ONCE
GRACED BRAMALL LANE, BUT ARE NOW CONTINUING THEIR CAREER ELSEWHERE…
David McGoldrick is off the mark
for his new club Derby County
after scoring a dramatic stoppage
time winner recently against
Peterborough United.
Trailing 1-0 and down to 10 men,
things looked bleak for the Rams
until an equaliser from Jason
Knight on 88 minutes was followed
up by McGoldrick’s winner from
12 yards.
After missing the first four games
of the campaign through injury,
McGoldrick is now finding his
feet at Pride Park after his highly
successful stint at Bramall Lane
came to an end at the conclusion
of last season.
“As a striker you enjoy your
goals, and especially when
they come as a winner as well,”
McGoldrick said of his first strike.
“We hadn’t scored for a few
games, so to get two right at the
end was nice. It was a pleasing day
all around and it’s always special
to turn it around late on.
“We are all together as one in
the dressing room and it helps with
the team bonding too, celebrating
together at the end, especially
as quite a few of us have come
through the door this summer.
The changing room was very
happy after.”
Grateful to be back fit again after
recovering from the injury which
curtailed his final season in S2, the
ex-Forest front man is now focused
on a strong run in the side.
He added: “I feel I am getting
fitter. I came here after a four or
five-month spell out, following an
operation. I’ve been building my
fitness up and I had a setback by
doing too much too soon, but now
I am building things up slowly.”
