Recruited from Edithvale-Aspendale, he was selected in North Melbourne's first Premiership team in 1975, but appeared only briefly to replace Mick Nolan late in the last quarter.[1] He enjoys a life membership of the North Melbourne Football Club.[3]
Goodingham finished his VFL career with a two-year stint at South Melbourne, traded in a deal that sent Peter Keenan to North Melbourne.[4] He then went to South Australia and played for three years for Woodville, the last two as playing coach.
