Let B be the Bloch space of all those functions f holomorphic in the open unit disc D of the complex plane satisfying . We establish sufficient conditions for the boundedness of functions f belonging to B satisfying a certain uniform radial boundedness condition, and, by introducing a wide class of subsets E of ∂D, which we call negligible sets for boundedness, we show that if f ∈ B and there is a constant K > 0 such that , then f is bounded in D. Hence a significant extension of a theorem of Goolsby is obtained.
