Goodman made his debut for Bath in the 2003/4 season against Italian side L`Aquila and made a total of 43 appearances for the club.

Fans of the club recently gathered to record a track which they hope will become the official Bedford Blues club song.

"Come on the Blues" was the brainchild of businessman Dave Ledsom - a key figure in keeping first class rugby at Goldington Road. Ledsom died last November before being able to develop the project himself but friends and fans of the club decided it would be a perfect tribute to his memory.

London Welsh

London Welsh have announced that a consortium of potential investors will be holding an open meeting at Old Deer Park on Wednesday July 1st.

A statement on the club website reads,

"The purpose of the meeting is to give an update on the current situation, let you know how you can help and also to answer any questions.

The consortium apologises for the short notice but, as you are aware, there is not a great deal of time available to secure the future of London Welsh."
