Great post. Goldie was the greatest. What skill! That chip and chase against Auckland at the 'brook takes the cake though. That was in a lot of traffic and he made it look easy. Everything had to be perfect for that try to be scored. If he chips it a foot wider either side or a foot shorter or longer i don't think he would've pulled it off. What class. I could go on and on...Fantastic crowds at the matches too. Oh what sweet memories.
Had an amazing sense of balance when moving through traffic, bumping off players and going through tackles, one of the best wingers / fullbacks to ever play the game
0:47 Pushing off Inga The Winger? Few players in the world did *that*. Always a pleasure to watch him play. He just got better and better and retired at the very top of his game. Great memories.
NZ Rugby crowds used to be amazing. When the NPC was still the biggest comp in NZ Rugby & when Rugby itself still had a romantic attachment to the NZ public. Sad that we'll never get that back.
Watching this video and 'Andy Ellis - Tries from 1991 - 1995' you can see a lot of this team of that era in the Highlanders today under Jamie Joseph. Glad Joseph brought back some vintage Otago rugby from the era he played in.
What a player. I remember him play for NZ as a youngster v my Scotland in Edinburgh...and knew he'd be a legend. The ABs are truly blessed to progress from JK to him. In global rugby terms, he seems quite underrated in history.
A very good player, he had alot of class with the chip & chase to score tries. Also represented Otago & the Black Caps for cricket, but chose to stay with rugby union. Cheerz Goldie for all the good memories bro👍
I would have loved to see him run like this for the ABs. From memory he had a great kick and chase when playing for the national side, but that was pretty much it.
It was a simpler time....Back when NPC was worth watching.
silver2164 I could not agree more. I do not like the modern game one bit.

Justin Perry he had amazing hands aye. His ball skills in the try vs birth harbour at 1:50 was superb
fastest ive ever seen a rugby player move and ive watched rugby a long time
King of the chip and chase! him and Cullen were incredible
Keith Queen : Only Wilson could score a try like that

Had a great all round skill set, probably best wing of that generation
9.37 she’s giving him the look
great rugby played back then
Oh yes u can see people running into gaps and space not bloody players.
Goldie. Otago royalty
Goldie aye. Never knew he was this great. World class indeed. Lomu cullen goldie excellent back 3. Too bad the RWC never got lifted by them.
Who was doing the comments on the Auckland game in Auckland 1994 he sounded very young
This is the best video on youtube
+Patrick Bourke Great era in Otago rugby. These guys were my heroes back in the day, such good memories. I miss the terrace.
4:50. Exceptional individual brilliance. Wow.
Great Vid mate! Goldie!
I've gotta say Stu Forster was one of the best passers of a ball I've ever seen. His reverse pass was something else....
My pick as NZ's best winger. Always thought he'd come out of the closet as an All Black.

NPC should be free to air for the kids
wilson really is goldie speed skill and vision you can't stop that
Goldie was absolutely a gifted athlete

Nah that was Tony Brown mate
Sid Vicious Ah beg too differ mate. Short memory?

Absolutely wonderful player, one of the best wingers I ever had the pleasure of watching.
That try from 12:20 is just effing ridiculous.
Jeff Wilson was a fantastic player, his ability to beat the man in front him with his side step, swerve or hand off was second to none.
Amazing!!
Wilson, Jeff Wilson, Ohhhh only Wilson could score a try like that!!!! - Keith Quinn adding so much to these.
A very good player, he had alot of class with the chip & chase to score tries.
Also represented Otago & the Black Caps for cricket, but chose to stay with rugby union.
Cheerz Goldie for all the good memories bro👍
some excellent tries. I think technology today would have ruled one out however.
サイズの大きな大畑が半径の小さなスワーブ使って同様のスピードで軽々と抜き去るようなイメージ。
He made cash more look like the average player he was
Cargill High School Represent, 🌟👊🌟
he was an amazing player for sure, but it was a forward pass at 6:09
cheeky smile from the assistant ref 9:51
スワーブをかけて相手を抜くのは滞空時間が長い為、芸術性が高いと思います。
私の見た中ではクリスチャン・カレンとジェフ・ウィルソンが二大巨頭です。
Sheezus... english plz lol
We should be happy to see Goldie has fans all over the world. Arigato gozaimasu!
I would have loved to see him run like this for the ABs. From memory he had a great kick and chase when playing for the national side, but that was pretty much it.
what about the try in aussie off a kick chase beats roff to the ball and in 1996 in south africa he had a good series
Only 26 when he retired
Barry Nichols
He was 28
