Baltimore
Steve Goodman originally hails from Virginia, but made the move to Maryland over a decade ago. He began following Arsenal on Fox Soccer Channel when it was still known as Fox Sports World, and round about 2005, was appointed Baltimore Branch Manager.
Not simply content to follow football, Steve is also a member of My Football Club, the group which bonded together to buy Ebbsfleet United Football Club, located in Kent.
According to Steve, Gooners in the Baltimore area usually head to Slainte Irish Pub to watch the matches, as it was voted “the best place to watch soccer and rugby”.
Slainte Irish Pub

Baltimore, MD 21231

Steve counts amongst his favorite Arsenal moments, “any match involving Thierry Henry”, and lauds Arsenal supporters as a “great group”, saying, no matter where I travel in the world, I always run into fans of the club”. Steve also enjoys following Portsmouth, saying, “I grew up in their sister city and have always had an affection for the town”.
Steve’s Branch Manager goals for 2008, include finding venues in Baltimore County that air the matches and organizing more meet-ups to watch the matches, so if you’re anywhere near Charm City, drop him a line.
