Beginning his illustrious career with Leicester Tigers, Goode quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with, gaining fame not only for his exceptional goal kicking but also for his infectious humour and, notably, a successful hair transplant. His contributions were instrumental in the Tigers clinching two Heineken Cups and four consecutive league titles.
Representing England at the under-18 and under-21 levels, Goode’s full international debut came in the Six Nations of 2005 against Italy. Despite a chequered stint with the national team, punctuated by gaps in appearances, his prowess on the field remained undeniable.
In 2008, Goode ventured to France to join Brive, where he delivered stellar performances before injuries prompted his retirement in 2015. However, the allure of the game proved irresistible, leading to a brief comeback stint with the Newcastle Falcons.
Transitioning seamlessly into the world of sports commentary, Goode now graces the screens of BT Sports Rugby Tonight, Sky Sports The Offload, and BBC Radio 5 Live. His insights and engaging presence have made him a sought-after figure in the punditry realm.
