What a footballer The Gooch has been. Unmarkable at his best. The greatest ‘Two trick pony’ you’re ever likely to see… Been a pleasure pic.twitter.com/oqkIiV8ZhO

@colmcooper13 Most intelligent and skilful footballer I have ever seen. Croke park will miss you. Enjoy retirement #Gooch

Put Gooch in a phone box with a pack of wolves & he’d still hav the poise to hit ’em with a dummy solo & stroll out unscathed. The greatest.
