Andy Goram and Tom English's comments on him

[monktonharp]

just read a snippet from English, about Goram who is attending a dinner with a few "chums" tonight. just so happens that bitter hun Goram has a book coming out soon too. his involvement with Hibernian, should be removed from our history books imho. his allegiance with hard core Loyalist groups is not publicised by many in the main stream media but full marks to Tom English for getting in with this story.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Fantastic goalkeeper but a bigoted cretin. Very sad.

Goram is an a***. He was born and raised in Bury, Lancashire. Not the Shankill Road, Belfast, or Bridgeton, Glasgow. The son of Edinburgh born Lewis Goram who played professionally for Hibs back in the 40s.

All this "loyalist" guff looks like an attempt to ingratiate himself with those elements in the Huns support IMO.

one of the best goalkeepers Scotland has ever had, no doubt, but a Grade A dick, and that's coming from virtually everybody I know who's met him, and there's quite a few.

Goram is an alcoholic and would taken a free peeve from the Ku Klux Klan or Little Sisters of the Poor if it were offered. It's a pity Tom English doesn't investigate who the blurred out guy was in that photo, then again since it was one of the presses favourites it's hardly likely.

I would like our club to disown cretins of that ilk, but as previously said IMHO. which this forum is for, naw?

I'm not giving him an excuse, he was going on about us in his column a few weeks ago and he lost all right to say "I've a lot of time for my old club" by his actions.

Just pointing out there's another culprit in the photo the snared Goram but his face wasn't published. He walks around scot free.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Good player for Hibs.

Where is this Tom English article on Goram?

That would be question of sporting integrity. It would be super foolish of me to name names as the law suit police don't dilly-dally.

I met Goram once on a night out not long after he signed for us and he was great company. His mind has been contaminated ever since he signed for the bigots. Absolutely poisoned. I feel sad about the way he's ended up and wouldn't give any credence to anything he says now. I've stumbled upon a couple of his Sun columns and I've never read such guff in my life. The man's an embarrassment.

[Dashing Bob S]

I agree with what people have said about Goram. I've been in his company several times, and he's been delightful, but he has a fatal flaw of wanting to be loved too much. This, along with an (alleged) drink problem, and an exposure to crackpot loyalist elements, is never going to end well for anyone.

In the final analysis he's a grown man and cannot use the defence that he's merely been corrupted by *rseholes. But the journalists and publications who indulge him should realise that this is a tale of Gasgoinesque sadness in the making, and cease doing so.

He lived just round the corner from me when he played for us and drank in the same pub, came across as a good guy and was a good laugh. He was in the pub most nights and fair knocked the pints back though.
