Edward John Paul "Eddie" McGoldrick (born on 30 April 1965 in Islington). is a former Irish footballer whose clubs included most notably Crystal Palace, Arsenal and Manchester City. He was also capped at international level for the Republic of Ireland; he was a member of Ireland's 1994 World Cup squad though he did not play in the tournament.
After starting out at Northampton Town, McGoldrick had a successful spell at Crystal Palace where he played 147 times, scoring 11 goals; he is best remembered by Palace fans for the cross that set up Ian Wright's goal to secure promotion to the First Division in Palace's 4-3 aggregate victory over Blackburn Rovers in the 1988-89 Second Division playoff final. He also won a Zenith Data Systems Cup winners medal in 1990-91.
McGoldrick moved to Arsenal in 1993, linking up with Wright once again, and made his debut in the Charity Shield against Manchester United on August 7, 1993. However, his time there was less successful; after playing 38 games in the 1993-94 season, including a substitute appearance in Arsenal's European Cup Winners' Cup final win over Parma, he was less of a regular the following season, and in 1995-96 he played only one match. In all he played 57 times for Arsenal, scoring one goal. He left Arsenal in 1996 for Manchester City on loan but he soon made that a permanent move with a £300,000 transfer in October 1996. McGoldrick spent two seasons with City, before a loan spell at Stockport County in 1998. He retired from professional football in 1999, though he had a short spell as player-manager of Corby Town in 2000.
