The youngest of the three Goss brothers, he joined South Melbourne in 1980, one of the clubs his father Norm had played for.[1]
A utility, Goss was a regular member of the South Melbourne side in his first season, averaging 15 disposals a game. He missed two matches in the first half of the season when he was suspended for striking North Melbourne's Maurice Boyse.[2]
Goss later joined Hawthorn but could never break into the seniors after injuring his knee in a reserves fixture.[3]
