Joseph A. Goodson (December 1, 1876 – August 29, 1924) was a college football player and physician.[1][2] He was a quarterback for the Vanderbilt Commodores football team; captain of the 1898 team.[3][4] Goodson led the team to its first conference title in 1897. The team then played a contest with Virginia for the championship of the south, a tie. The Nashville American reported that, "The Vanderbilt players were in a jolly humor yesterday with their miniature football pinned upon the labels of their coats. Joe Goodson, quarterback, was apparently out of training from a large ten-cent cigar he smoked, a gift of Benjamin Childers of Pulaski. 'Tab' Farrell had his hair cut and other members were more or less changed in appearance."
