RIP Grant Goldman

[DUFFMAN]

He was also ground announcer at Sydney Olympics

Was also the cityrail voice for stations and trains for many years.

RIP Mr Goldman - The Voice of Brookie. I lost count of the times he delivered those simply words "C'mon Manly" and the players and crowd would lift every time.... gone but never forgotten.

 

[Jock]

RIP.

I think they even used his voice in the elevators at Warringah Mall some years back.

Loved his variations in pronunciation & delivery of "Beaver" whenever Menzies scored.

Yes did all the announcements at Warringah Mall for a number of years

 

[master blaster]

I wonder if the NRL will acknowledge it and pay some respect toward him. I wont hold my breathe

 

[Ryan]

The one positive here is Grant will surely get the best seat in the house at every Home Game going forward.

Condolences to him and his family. So sad.

I wonder if the NRL will acknowledge it and pay some respect toward him. I wont hold my breathe

if we can discover some tiny little link with either stuffs, rorters or the squeals then there is hope.
however if as i suspect he was loyal to the mighty eagles then alas there is no hope

 

[manlyfan76]

So glad that he was the voice of Brookie. Absolutely loved hearing him over the p.a.
Rest in peace.

Imagine the following in deep tones, relatively quiet, mouth close to the microphone “O-Jayyy”

 

[Harvies elbow]

Almost 2 years to the day since I met him.
I remember Goldie from the REALLY old 2sm days.
There will be only 1
BEAVERRRRRRRRRR

 

[Supreme Leader]

A brave fight for a Great Manly personality. He was really looking forward to this year so now it falls back on the team he supported for many seasons to stand up and honour his legacy.
Loved our conversations mate! I will miss you! RIP. With love and best thoughts to his family.

 

[Supreme Leader]

Oh, a story, you got to laugh at....
good old days as ground announcer, after the game he came up to me in the sponsors area and said "hey mate can you do me a favour... Yeah sure I said with my wife... forgot I promised the club I'd go over the leagues club and help with the players autographs and photo's... ok what do you want me to do? Can you drive Rex Mossop home? Yep I say.... so he helps me get him in the car... he leaves... I start driving and ask Rex where he lives and has no idea. I get stuck in a car for 2 hours and waiting for someone to tell me where he lives.

 

[MissKate]

What a sad day, will always remember him for his ‘Beeeeever’ call and I credit him with the ‘40-nil’ chant. RIP champ

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Condolences to the Goldman family a very sad day indeed.

Very sad. Condolences to the Goldman family.
True story.
My old man who isn’t a footy tragic like his son, but he is a talk-back radio freak.

I told the old man years ago that we were going to one of @Mark from Brisbane s functions at the Crown Plaza on the GC, and Grant was going to be the MC. So my old man said can you pass a message on to him for me. No worries I said. Can you tell him I have been a keen listener of his for many years, but I cannot listen to him on 2SM on Monday mornings, regardless of wether Manly won or lost. If they won, he’d be mentioning it every chance he got. If they lost, he had every excuse under the sun as to how they were ripped off.
So I did go over and introduce myself and my daughter to him and relayed the message from the old man. He laughed, and said tell your old man if he listens to me only four days of the week that’s fine, cause his Monday morning Manly love in is never gunna stop!

Synonomous with Brooky oval, the voice of our fans, a passionate fan who is forever a legend of our club.

so sad

[manlyfan76]

I would buy a dvd of a best Goldie's announcements from Brookie.

 

[master blaster]

I remember walking along the concourse with him a couple of years ago, just after a few rounds had been played, and we weren't traveling to well and we were discussing how things were going very bad. We were having a good chat and he turned to me and said, mate, there is nothing Manly here anymore, nothing, only Bozo but he was getting paid to be here. He wasnt very happy, but thank goodness for the clean-out, now all you see is wall to wall Manly and thats the way it should be and stay. We cant afford to go down that path again....ONE TEAM, ONE DREAM, MANLY4LIFE
