Goulding Vists Summer Soccer Course



Cheltenham Town striker Jeff Goulding popped into the Abbey Business Stadium this August to meet the footballing stars of the future during one of our highly successful summer courses.

The Goalkeepers and Strikers course had been running all week and Jeff popped in to answer questions and meet the youngsters on the final day.

All of our young footballers received medals for their hard work over the three days and all of them got to meet Jeff who was given a good grilling during the question and answer session.

“The questions were difficult but I’ve had worse! There were a few good questions and there were a few naughty ones as well but I’m glad all the kids enjoyed themselves,” said Jeff.



“It’s good for me and the boys to meet these guys because this kind of thing can really bring the whole community together and the experience for the kids is great. We were that age once and I can remember wanting to become a footballer so much so I’m always happy to meet young supporters.

“Hopefully I was able to inspire them all a little and give them a bigger idea on what being a footballer is like.”
