micaley68 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Taking away the old firm prejudice from some and I will quite happily admit that the "Goalie" was without a doubt, the best goalie that I have ever witnessed in the modern game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 3 hours ago, Newbornbairn said: Absolutely the best Scottish keeper ever and arguably better than Shilton & Clemence. Who can forget "Two Andy Gorams" though? I think he was miles better than those 2. Was never really that impressed with Shilton tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Probably only Schmeichel better in his generation. Arguably the last world class player Scotland had 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

williemillersmoustache Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Esophageal cancer is a shite way to go and 58 is no age. Never his biggest fan but he was a tremendously talented goalkeeper. RIP Andy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willie adie Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I always rated Goram as the best shot stopper for Scotland Leighton the better goalkeeper, For me there is a difference 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Saintee Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Don't think I ever saw Saints scoring past him. And we had decent strikers in those days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Margaret Thatcher and Jimmy Saville spring to mind without too much deep thought. Whatever failings Goram had, he was hardly an evil barsteward though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the purpose of this thread by the person who started it was for people to have the opportunity to leave their condolences, show their respect and share their memories of Andy Goram. If people have a different view, I’d suggest not posting on this thread. Point scoring is not appropriate. 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Sad. We'll all have good and bad memories of his performances, but 99% of them will be due to him pulling off ridiculous feats to keep the ball out of his net. It was often more of a surprise when he conceded. No doubt we could all point out his personal faults, but he also seemed to put up with a lot of shite from the general public, judging by some of the stuff people have pointed out on here over the years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latapythelegend Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I'm not old enough to fully appreciate how good he was however one thing always stuck in my mind. Our last season at Brockville I was only 8 but there are a few games I can vividly remember. One of them was a 5-0 over QoS when Goram was there. At 8 years old you don't really pay much attention to the opposition players but this was an exception. One of the only games I can genuinely say I've seen the goalie prevent a double figure scoreline. RIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
