McGoldrick played for Celtic Boys’ Club before being recruited for Celtic. He did not make the first team at Parkhead and was signed by Leeds on a free transfer in June 1983. McGoldrick was unlucky enough to make his Leeds debut on one of the most humiliating nights in the club’s history, when the lost to bottom-of-the-Fourth Division Chester City in the Milk Cup. Another free transfer took him to Motherwell in July 1985, but a persistant knee injury, first incurred at Parkhead, led to his premature retirement soon afterwards without him playing a game for his new club. He joined the family car business in Airdrie. He is now the General Manager of a car dealership in Bishopbriggs near Glasgow.
