Roger Gould Biography

Roger Gould is one of the most popular and richest Rugby Union Player who was born on April 4, 1957 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States. Roger Gould, born 4 April 1957, is a former player in rugby union football. He played fullback for the Queensland Reds and the Australian Wallabies. He played his first game for Queensland in 1978, and then for Australia in 1980. He played his last match for Australia in the 1987 World Cup. Gould’s professional career was cut short by injuries.

Michael O’Connor, an Australian dual-international, wrote about Gould in The Best of Both Worlds that, “The truth is, Roger Gould was the best fullback I’ve ever fought with.” He would take the ball ninety-nine out of one hundred times and he would not only take it but also hurt people while he did it. You might feel confident about slicing a fullback with a high ball. But if Roger tried it, you’d end up with six studs. He was so strong, and he was very aggressive. He was so strong and aggressive that he couldn’t be moved.

Gould was elected to Queensland Sport Hall of Fame in 2009 and was added to the Queensland team of century.

Roger Gould, one of the most successful punt-kickers of rugby history is a thundering Roger Gould. His only flaw is his alarming vulnerability to injury. He played just one and a quarter games on successive tours to Argentina and New Zealand. Gould survived the 1984 British Isles tour without any serious injuries. He was involved in a lot of play by the Wallabies and he responded well to being a Test hero. It was the highlight of the tour that the Queenslander’s ability, with his spiraling kicks, to keep his hand up in the air until the men arrived on the catcher was remarkable. Gould scored five goals in seven straight toe-kick attempts, to sink Wales after Michael Lynagh lost his kicking touch.

Since 1984, there has not been a player who I feel is comparable to Mark Ella. Lynagh was the one player on my team, but there were two. She did an amazing job for us. Roger Gould, however, was a true freak. Mark was a creative freak. Roger was the defensive freak. You might be leading 10-9 in Test, and they have the ball. While we can organize ourselves to make the defense stand up, what happens if they start roofing back at us? Who are you looking for? Gould. You are also down 9-9, and we have a little bit of football. Who do you prefer out of all the historical players? Ella.

Former Australian flanker Simon Poidevin in For Love Not Money wrote of Gould that, ‘I say emphatically here and now that Gould is the best fullback I’ve ever played with or against, and I’d never leave him out of any side for which he was available. As a fullback, he was without peer.’
