About Malcolm Goldie
Lived 1893 – 1963 (aged 70). Malcolm Goldie was an American association football player and association football coach.
ASL In 1922, Goldie began his U.S. career with Bethlehem Steel. At the time, Steel was one of the top U.S. clubs and Goldie remained with them until 1928. Throughout his six seasons in Bethlehem, he was acknowledged as one of the top wingers in the ASL. However, he suffered from numerous injuries which frequently put him on the sidelines for weeks at a time. In 1926, Goldie and the Steelmen won the National Challenge Cup over the St. Louis Soccer League team Ben Millers with Goldie scoring one of Bethlehem's goals. In 1927, Goldie added a league title to go with the Challenge Cup. In August 1928, Bethlehem agreed to transfer Goldie to the Fall River for $400.00, half to be paid immediately and half to be paid at a future date. However, Fall River failed to pay the transfer amount as the league suspended Bethlehem Steel as part of the "Soccer Wars". Goldie spent the 1928-1929 and 1929 fall season in Fall River. However, he played only two games of the 1929–1930 season with them before moving to the Pawtucket Rangers. He played fifteen games for Pawtucket before moving to the New Bedford Whalers for one game.
National team Goldie earned one cap with the U.S. national team in a 6–1 win over Canada on 8 November 1925.
Coaching career In 1933, Goldie was hired as the head coach of the men's soccer team at MIT. He broke a vertebra in his back during the summer of 1940 which made it difficult for him to coach the team. He ultimately retired and in April 1941, John Craig replaced him as head coach.
Death Goldie died on 17 September 1963, in Hull, Massachusetts, United States.
