Voting Goram is like voting George Best for best ever Hibs player

In what way? Goram played almost 150 games for us.

Goram was exceptional for us in a piss-poor side, and had already earned Scotland caps before he left for Rangers?

Should've been Scotland's number 1 for Italia 90 but we went with a confidence-shot Jim Leighton instead.

How do you get that? He played 138 games for us AND scored a goal!!

Goram for me and then Budgie for just being a character.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I thought Ben Williams was excellent for us.

No surprise there, the EEN will have set it up to give them the chance.

Maybe we should set up a separate poll.

Who is your all time favourite Hearts creditor?

Goram's goalscoring record was s***e. Oxley got one in only 69 games......

They certainly didn't care who they crapped on, anyway back to the favourite Hibs related goalkeeper thread, I can't believe the EEN missed Ken Garland off.

Logan wasn't the best, but he was the most important.

Think it was his competitive debut as well

[BILLYHIBS]

Peter Cormack played a few games in goals

They've missed out Roy Baines.

Yeah strange that, considering they’ve included Thomson Allan and Gordon Marshall, who were a year or two before Roy Baines. All 3 just on the cusp of the 50 year period.

Other possible(?) “notable” omissions - Cammy Bell, Ross Laidlaw, Tony Caig, Bryan Gunn, Chris Reid, Robin Rae and finally the Jekyll & Hyde of recent keepers - Scottish Cup legend who made his debut in the QF Replay and also the guy who effectively ‘lost’ us the Brondby Europa League tie - I give you ..............Otso Virtanen

Also a keeper who has a “100% record” with us but was nevertheless pivotal in getting ScottAllan back to the club. No goals against but then again no games played either but likely to win a Premiership Medal this season - Scott Bain. Don’t think he counts though, does he?

Its not really, Goram was outstanding for Hibs for nigh on 3 years. Some of the best saves and performances I’ve ever seen were watching him playing for Hibs.

sadly his memory at Hibs is tainted by moving to Rangers and becoming a Loyalist ****bag.. the guy had the potential to be the best keeper in the world (some would argue that he did achieve this over a short period whilst at Ibrox)

Agree with this

I went to Italia 90 and was under no doubt Andy Goram was world class and could not believe it when Jim Leighton was selected ahead of him particularly as at that time Leightons club form was not that great

Leighton was Gorams nemesis when it came to the Scotland goalkeeping position

Goram got the gloves for Euro 96 and performed admirably but walked out on Scotland 15 days before the opening game of France 98 when told Leighton would be first choice

Thats decision to play Leighton in italia90 was ludicrous, I have no doubt that with Gorman in the team we’d have got out of that group.

Morten Hyldegaard. For a keeper the width of him he didn’t half let shots go right through him...

How many games did he actually play - if any? I can’t remember much about him at all tbh.

[jaf]

Another vote for Goram, he was unbelievable at times and wasnt big for a keeper.

Was at his debut against dunfermline (4-0) and the game against morton where he scored.

[Crammond Hibee]

Andy GORAM for me

[Dunbar Hibee]

I really liked Nick Colgan for some reason.

Must be Romanov bounce a cheque?

Took on 35 million pound of original outstanding hearts debt before transferring it into his care that would have liquidated them and turned it into something near 100 million that was later written off by the just wow Lithuianian Government when his whole crooked empire went tits up.

Jackanory/Teatime Tales couldn't have written a better one.

Didn't he officially try to claim at the time he didn't want to take the chance of getting injured at the World Cup 1990 as he was trying to get a new club as his contract with the old Rangers had expired.

Unofficially stories were swirling about that he had a serious drinking problem (which he had), was involved with terrorist organisations (which he was) as well as the usual kiss and tell tittle tattle (which he did) hence Leighton got the nod even though on the field Goram shades it.

There was a quote at the time that "he wasn't in right frame of mind" which gave rise to the "Two Andy Goram's" song.

A horrible man anyway who was quoted in his autobiography saying he hated Hibs fans as
"the worst fans" and even Zibi deserves a vote ahead of that dreadful creature.

It would be frightening how good he would be without a drink problem.

What a keeper.

Agree with all of this

It all sounds vaguely familiar

Remember at the time stories of old co paying off his gambling debts cash blah blah blah!

Regardless of the fact that he turned into a Hun Bassa overnight based on goalkeeping ability alone he is still the finest goalkeeper I have seen at Easter Road in over fifty years of watching HIBS

Yes I agree perhaps not the ideal role model

I found his attitude towards HIBS strange especially after all we had done to boost his career and increase his profile and also the fact that his father played for HIBS in goal

His Hun love in only surpassed by Jason Cummings
