He was the celebrity on Norwegian Cruise Ships for a number of years and I was delighted to accompany him on six of those cruises. He would host a meet and greet and answer all kinds of questions about football. He also participated in different games and events on the ship. I was honored to be his guest. He was hardworking and had high expectations for everyone including himself. He had many stories about living with the priests for some time in his young adulthood and was a strong Catholic. He was honest to a fault and a loyal friend once you became part of his inner circle. He was also president of the NFL Players Association and led the strike way back when which led to him leaving the NFL earlier than he would have liked. I don’t see much information online about Dan and the Players Association, but that was a big part of his life and I believe he supported that organization as well as many others. He was generous and humble. Rest in Peace Dan Goich.

That's why it was so expensive compared to other common cards of the day. <br /><br />Is there any truth to that rumor? Did he have thousands of 1974 Topps #102 Dan Goich cards at his house?<br /><br />Yinzvesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04160108126274775291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765094200998228719.post-38146924597012306082022-02-13T04:25:02.144-06:002022-02-13T04:25:02.144-06:00Yes.

He was my Government teacher my senior year. He and I used to argue in class every day. LoL He was hard on female students but looking back I now see that he did this to encourage us female students to not back down when we are challenged based on gender and not our intellect. I'm a huge Saints fan myself and he used to brag a lot in class that he played for my team. I never believed him, just being a teenager of course, and back then we didn't have cell phones where we could Google and verify things instantly. But I never forgot him and low and behold about a year after I graduated I looked it up and to my surprise, he was telling the truth. I kinda brag about it now being a Saints fan that my teacher played for my team. It's pretty cool.NamelessGhulehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516814398637380368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7765094200998228719.post-89354378471142953312018-06-19T21:31:23.409-05:002018-06-19T21:31:23.409-05:00I grew up in Coalinga, CA where Dan went to Coalin...I grew up in Coalinga, CA where Dan went to Coalinga Jr. College. Dan was a part time librarian at the local public library as well as the college library. A friend and I loved to "poke the lion" , pun intended as he later played for the Detroit Lions, by agitating him to the point of him getting up and acting like he was going to rip us apart. You could kinda tell he enjoyed the distraction as much as we did, but we never stuck around to find out. We were 5th or 6th graders at the time and one time he snuck around behind us and we were caught! I was about to crap my pants, but he took us inside, sat us down and had a talk with us. What a nice guy he turned out to be! I ended up being good friends with one of his CJC teammates named Dave from Tennessee and am proud to say Dan, Dave, and I are now in the West Hills College (formerly CJC) Hall or Fame together.
