Former Cobblers captain Charlie Goode says he would ‘love’ to wear the claret of Northampton again if the opportunity presents itself later in his career.
Talking to BBC Radio Northampton (link below), Goode spoke about his affection for the club and how then-manager Keith Curle changed the course of his career, initially by signing him on loan from Scunthorpe United and then permanently.

“Northampton will always have a big part in my life,” said Goode, who also described Town’s Wembley win over Exeter as his best moment in football. “It changed my career.
"I remember Keith Curle calling me and saying ‘listen, you’re coming here to play’ and he picked me up from somewhere where I wasn’t living up to my potential. It was a no-brainer to sign permanently that summer.
"When he gave me the armband, I was only 23 and I thought ‘this is going to be a test’ and there were moments where we struggled and I had to grow up really fast and try and become the leader that he wanted.
