Bar manager from sounding out popular goalie (9)
I believe the answer is:
innkeeper
'bar manager' is the definition.
'from sounding out popular goalie' is the wordplay.
'from sounding out' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'popular' becomes 'in'.
'goalie' becomes 'keeper' (I've seen this before).
'in' is a homophone of 'inn'.
'inn'+'keeper'='INNKEEPER'
(Other definitions for innkeeper that I've seen before include "Manager who made extra provision for visitors" , "Job" , "Tavern owner" , "Publican" , "Pub landlord" .)
