Australian Football

Christened Alan, but invariably known as 'Dick', Goldin joined Preston in 1947 and was a useful performer from the start, playing all of the Bullants' games that season en route to a career total of 103 spanning half a dozen seasons. Unfortunately for Goldin, he was one of a select few players of quality at Preston during the late 1940s and early '50s, and the club failed even to qualify for the finals during his time with them. Captain of the Bullants for part of the 1951 season, Goldin went on to captain-coach the club's seconds team once his senior career was over.
