The 14-year-old Kerry man's talents are no secret around the Kingdom.
He's a hurler, he's a Gaelic footballer, and by God he can strike a soccer ball.
Goulding is a hot prospect in the south west of Ireland. He's on the under-15 Kerry hurling panel. He's on the under-15 Kerry Gaelic football panel. And, yep, he's a county-standard soccer player too.
A student of Causeway Secondary School, Goulding is ripping up football pitches for fun in the Kerry Schoolboys League. His club, Rattoo Rovers, went to Kenmare and won 4-3 this week but it was Goulding's free kick that made the difference in the end and it was his free kick that will be remembered for a long, long time.
The youngster set down the ball a good 40 metres from goals and drilled it with the top of his laces all the way into the top corner with all the venom and accuracy of one of the world's best. This wasn't because he was playing against 14-year-olds, a senior keeper would've done extraordinarily well to keep this out.

Hit with the sort of purpose and conviction of Cristiano Ronaldo against Portsmouth.
Padraig Harrington, involved with Rattoo Rovers, filmed the piece of pure magic and even that he thought Goulding might score from there says it all.
The 14-year-old plays his GAA with Ballyduff in north Kerry but, the way he's going, he will have the pick of whatever sport he wants to when he's older.
