George Goulder became professional for the old Huddersfield United Cricket Club in 1893, and in the same season played for the Nottinghamshire Colts against the Yorkshire Colts at Sheffield. He remained at Huddersfield for two years and then held appointments at Galashiels and Blackheath.
In 1897 he began a long association as professional for Marsden, and rendered valued service to the club. When the club was out of the Huddersfield League for a few seasons he held appointments with other West Riding clubs, including Meltham Mills, where he also did well.
He made his home at Marsden, however, and his interest in the local club was maintained to the end. For his last three seasons he he had acted as coach to the Greenfield Club in the Saddleworth League, and was looking forward to a similar appointment for the coming season.
Mr. Goulder lost his wife in 1908, and three of his four sons were killed in the war. A son-in-law, Henry Hirst, also died in the war and is buried in Marsden. A sixteen-year -old daughter died in 1918
