Patrick Goggin (1940 – 14 January 2025) was an Irish footballer. A midfielder, his career spanned four decades and saw him line out in the League of Ireland with Cork Hibernians before later transferring to Tramore Athletic.
Goggin's footballing career began as a schoolboy with Glasheen, with whom he won the under–15 league and the Munster minor cup. Believing he was not good enough to progress to senior level with Glasheen, he transferred to junior club St Michael's in the Cork AUL. Goggin joined Cork Hibernians and won a Munster Senior Cup title in his debut season in 1960–61.[1] He also lined out in the 1963 FAI Cup final defeat by Shelbourne.[2] Goggin claimed a Dublin City Cup title in his final season with the club.[3]
Goggin transferred to Tramore Athletic for the 1966–67 seasons and spent 11 years with the club. During that time he won two Munster Senior League titles, as well as being FAI Intermediate Cup runners-up in 1967. The last six years of Goggin's career were spent with Blackpool Celtic and Hillington in the Cork AUL.[4]
