}}

Marc David Goodfellow (born 20 September 1981) is an English former footballer who played as a left-sided winger.

He began his career with Stoke City in 2000 and played in Iceland with ÍBV the following year. He transferred to Bristol City in 2004, who in turn sent him out on loan to Port Vale, Swansea City, and Colchester United. In 2005, he joined Swansea City before signing with Bury via Grimsby Town the following year. He was with Burton Albion between 2007 and 2010, helping the "Brewers" to the Conference National title in 2008–09. He also played on loan for both Barrow and Kidderminster Harriers. He switched to Barrow permanently in 2010, spending one season with the club before he joined Gresley in 2011. In his first season with the "Moatmen", he helped the club to win the Midland Football Alliance title. He joined King's Lynn Town in November 2013 before joining Worksop Town in January 2014 and then Mickleover Sports two months later. He joined Basford United in June 2014, helping the side to the Midland Football League title in 2014–15.

Career

Marc started his playing career with Stoke City in 2000; the following year, he found himself in Iceland with ÍBV Vestmannaeyjar, the Icelandic connection with the Potteries club being strong at the time with Stoke being owned by an Icelandic consortium. Upon his return, he managed to appear fairly regular for the "Potters", as he played twelve games in his debut season.

He began to make his mark in the 2001–02 campaign, putting in 29 appearances across all competitions. He did not play in the club's Second Division play-off final success, though he did make 20 First Division appearances in the subsequent 2002–03 season.

He made only a handful of appearances at the Britannia Stadium in 2003–04. However, he earned a £50,000 move to Bristol City in the January transfer window. He played in the play-off final defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, replacing defender Tony Butler on 88 minutes as manager Danny Wilson made a late attempt to save the game.{{cite news|title=Bristol City 0-1 Brighton|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/3750777.stm|access-date=12 January 2014|publisher=BBC Sport|date=30 May 2004}} He did not feature heavily at Ashton Gate and instead was loaned out to Port Vale in October 2004.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/p/port_vale/3712870.stm|title=Loan switch for Goodfellow |date=4 October 2004|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} The next month Swansea City manager Kenny Jackett was on the lookout for a quality winger,{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/3999231.stm|title=Jackett's winger search goes on |date=10 November 2004|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} Goodfellow meanwhile was prepared to go out on loan to the League Two club.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/b/bristol_city/4039567.stm|title=Goodfellow would consider switch |date=24 November 2004|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} Jackett managed to persuade City to allow Goodfellow to join the "Swans" on loan.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/4036601.stm|title=Swansea make two signings |date=25 November 2004|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} He impressed at the Welsh club and his loan spell was extended the following month.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/4117575.stm|title=Swansea extend Goodfellow's loan |date=22 December 2004|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} However, he was quickly recalled to Ashton Gate after a spate of injuries at the Bristol club.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/b/bristol_city/4132749.stm|title=Goodfellow recalled from Swansea |date=29 December 2004|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} Soon after Swansea attempted to buy Goodfellow off City,{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/4135421.stm|title=Swansea set for Goodfellow swoop |date=30 December 2004|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} however, City manager Brian Tinnion informed Goodfellow he still had a future at the club.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/b/bristol_city/4146959.stm|title=Goodfellow given hope by Tinnion |date=4 January 2005|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} Tinnion was expecting at least what they paid Stoke for him and Swansea were unable to comply.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/4153267.stm|title=Swans give up on Goodfellow move |date=6 January 2005|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} In March 2005 he joined Colchester United on loan until the end of the season and scored once against Peterborough United.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_2/4363793.stm|title=Peterborough 0-3 Colchester |date=25 March 2005|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=9 November 2015}}

In May 2005, Swansea again admitted their interest in the young winger,{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/4558575.stm|title=Swans admit Goodfellow interest |date=18 May 2005|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} and the following month they finally got their man, ending months of speculation.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/4633289.stm|title=Swansea complete Goodfellow deal |date=30 June 2005|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} Goodfellow said he was delighted with the move and that his "heart was always set on Swansea".{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/s/swansea_city/4642067.stm|title=Swansea move delights Goodfellow |date=2 July 2005|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} His thirteen appearances proved to be something of an anti-climax. So Goodfellow left Swansea, now in League One, to join Grimsby Town in February 2006.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/g/grimsby_town/4669202.stm|title=Mariners net Swansea's Goodfellow |date=1 February 2006|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} He played for the "Mariners" in the 2006 Football League Two play-off final at the Millennium Stadium, which ended in a 1–0 defeat to Cheltenham Town.{{cite news|title=Grimsby 0–1 Cheltenham|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_3/5010270.stm|access-date=10 March 2012|publisher=BBC Sport|date=28 May 2006}} He scored once during his spell at Grimsby in a 1–1 draw with Shrewsbury Town.{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_div_3/4890978.stm|title=Grimsby 1-1 Shrewsbury |date=15 April 2006|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=9 November 2015}}

In the summer of 2006 Goodfellow joined Bury on a free transfer,{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/g/grimsby_town/5141822.stm|title=Bury sign Goodfellow/Miller exits |date=3 July 2006|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} before leaving in November 2006. He dropped out of the English Football League to sign for Conference National side Burton Albion in January 2007.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/b/burton_albion/6319003.stm|title=Midfielder Bell signs for Burton |date=31 January 2007|publisher=BBC Sport|access-date=22 May 2009}} He made 36 appearances in the 2007–08 season, helping them to a fifth-place finish. The 2008–09 would prove much more successful, as Goodfellow made 29 league appearances to help Burton finish as Conference champions, and therefore win promotion into the Football League.

In November 2009 Goodfellow returned to the Conference, signing with Barrow on a month-long loan, he made just two appearances for the club. On transfer-deadline day, he joined Kidderminster Harriers on loan for the rest of the season. He was released from Burton at the end of the 2009–10 season and returned to Barrow for the following season. After nineteen appearances in 2010–11, he was released by Barrow in May 2011.{{cite news| title = Forrest, Goodfellow and Masters released by Barrow| url = http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13315096.stm| publisher = BBC Sport| date = 6 May 2011| access-date = 8 May 2011}}{{cite web|url=http://www.barrowafc.com/football/players/marcgoodfellow|title=11.
