  • Season 2 Episode 14: Ralph Lundy joins the 3 Old Goalies- PT. 2 w Ralph Polson

    Part 2 of a great interview with Ralph Lundy gets even more fun when Ralph Polson joins in on the fun!

    Ralph Polson coached collegiately for 38 years. He had successful stints at Presbyterian College, Wofford College and College of Charleston alongside Coach Ralph Lundy.
    But most importantly, to us 3 Old Goalies guys, Ralph is himself an "Old Goalie"!! Ralph was kind enough to call in as our special guest on the Ralph Lundy episode and of course, the soccer stories continued!!
    EV can tell you, first hand, that Ralph Polson was an outstanding collegiate GK. It was always a privilege to play against him--EV never beat Erskine--not only because Ralph was a fine GK, but because he was and is and always has been, a good guy, and the consummate gentleman. The 3 Old Goalies are happy and proud to call him a friend and welcome him as the special guest on the Ralph Lundy episode.
    Join us,won't you?


    *This episode ALSO INCLUDES one of BOA'S TRIPS AROUND THE GLOBE :)

  • Season 2 Episode 13- Ralph Lundy joins the 3 Old Goalies

    Ralph Lundy is truly an American soccer icon.

    Ralph has been inducted to 4 Soccer Halls of Fame. He has run the Ralph Lundy Soccer Academy for decades. In short, the man has been a pillar of the sport in the US.

    However, one of Ralph's true gifts is his ability to remember and relate soccer stories across the timeline of his career. 3 Old Goalies was indeed fortunate to connect with Coach Lundy and the episode was so entertaining, funny, and long that we had to split the episode and make it 2 parts. This is PART ONE.

  • Season 2 Episode 11: Butch Lauffer
    A self-proclaimed 'Dallas Boy' and original "Texas Longhorn" (not the University, football guys) Youth Soccer Club" player who spent the majority of his adolescence and teenage years on the Europe Continent playing soccer, and winning games and trophies, Butch stayed over and played in England in the 1970s - virtually unheard of at the time. Luckily for us, he had the foresight to also pursue his coaching badges before returning to TCU to finish his Master's Degree. A prolific clinician, coach, tactician and published author, Butch has touched the game on every single level of US Soccer. From U8 summer campers to MLS, to the Scottish FA and FIFA, Butch is respected and listened to on both sides of the Atlantic in both the women's and men's game, top to bottom. Butch is a "Football Guy", through and through.
    Lauffer has several foreign and domestic coaching licenses, including an English Football Association’s preparatory coaching license (1982), the United States Soccer Federation “A” license (1987) and the Irish Football Association Grade 1 coaching license (1989). Most recently, he earned a United European Football Association “A” license from the Wales Football Association in 1998 and a UEFA pro license through the Scottish Football Association in 2001. During the 1994 World Cup, he became a member of the USSF National coaching staff and assisted FIFA with the technical reports for all World Cup contests at the Dallas venue and taught coaching courses on developing coaching skills for the “A,” “B,” and “C” levels.
    Butch is about to enter his 33rd season as head men’s soccer coach perennial NCAA power West Texas A&M University, a program that he not only founded, but also coached the Women's side for the first decade of its existence. This year he will eclipse his 600th win as a Collegiate Head Coach. He has been a mainstay of youth soccer at every level in Texas and across the USA and for the NSCAA for the majority of his life. He has garnered most all Regional, Conference & National awards and pushed dozens of his collegiate players to Football Clubs both overseas and here at the top levels of US professional soccer.
