Andy Goram RIP

[Since452]

Must be terrifying for the guy and his family. Heart goes out to anyone in that position.

News this morning he has terminal cancer and around 6 months to live. Keep fighting Andy!

That's dreadful news.

I remember the late Tommy Burns (another taken by cancer far too young) saying after an Old Firm match in which Goram had been phenomenal: 'When I pass away it will say on my tombstone Andy Goram broke his heart'.

[Mike Berry]

Sad news this morning. I knew he was ill but didn't realise how bad. He was the best keeper I ever saw play for Hibs, and probably the best I ever saw anywhere. At his peak he was astounding. Talented cricketer as well.

[MrSmith]

He may have been a tosser (I said this earlier) but I would not wish cancer on anyone and can only hope he remains well, positive and fights on. Best goalkeeper I have ever seen at Hibs.

Despite his Sevco guff, he was a phenomenal keeper throughout his career and this is sad to read.

Incredible goalkeeper for Hibs...a few of us even went to Love Street for a meaningless last game of the season to see his final game in a Hibs shirt. Amazing to think he was second choice for us and we only signed him because Celtic nipped in and signed Ian Andrews.

Sending good wishes to Andy Goram, a great Hibs goalkeeper, sincerely hope he can stay strong without pain. Bloody horrible disease.

Didn't Ian Andrews sign for Celtic a year later?

[Sir David Gray]

Dreadful news, wouldn't wish this on anyone.

[hibee-boys]

Very sad news, keep fighting Andy😞

Shame. What a generational keeper. Would be nice to get him on the pitch pre game if it was possible

[CentreLine]

Awful disease. I hope he fights on. Don’t care what his political or religious views were, he was a great servant to our club and to the national team. He also got us a very respectable fee when he left us.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Not that you expect chapter and verse,but he seems to have gone downwards really quickly.

So we can boo him?

So be it if you want to boo someone with terminal cancer, we'd certainly make the front pages.

Definitely. A month ago he was hosting a Sportsman's dinner with Frank MacAvennie at the Kirkhouse Inn in Strathblane.

[Stairway 2 7]

He obviously got caught up with the pish at ibrox, Terry butcher said it was easy to do as it was everywhere and he regrets it.

I think as he's not got long for earth, we can remember his football. Maybe easier for me to say as an atheist who things both Catholic and protestants are daft

[marinello59]

Sad news, sounds like he has a real battle in his hands.Awful for him and his family.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Only 58. It's impossible to understand how someone must feel when given such news. The clock is ticking for all of us, but we don't want to be given a date when it will be all over. Damn shame.

At least it gives the family some time to come to terms with it; to say proper goodbyes and prepare. Personally, I've always found losing someone very suddenly and unexpectedly much more difficult to deal with. On the other hand, when someone dies suddenly there is no suffering or illness, but I think it's more difficult for those left behind.

Best of luck to Andy and his family in the time he has left. Make every moment special.

deleting folks posts you dont agree with is bizarre as **** hes an anti catholic racist who hates everything our club stands for

But he played for us and did a brilliant job. Got sucked into the Loyalist craziness at Ibrox, sadly. Still, he's a dying man who deserves compassion.

Does that apply that to any Rangers players or only ex-Hibs ones that we like?!

Can we say the same about their fans?

Perfectly normal, decent folk at their day jobs, but the 'craziness' of Ibrox turns them into bigots for 90 mins?

Seems like a convenient excuse.

Aye, I'm not saying he's my cup of tea at all.

A Hibs legend, then as you say turned to the dark side. I wish him well.
I wonder why your post was deleted? Reported, or offended an admin? Either way it's censorship.

Catholics seem to show little compassion. Religion really is a pox, wish we could be done with it

Religion truly is the root of all evil

Some really pathetic posts on here, from one poster in particular. Suspect the thread may need to be shut down.

We can surely do better than this when it comes to expressing sympathy for one of Hibs (and Scotland's) finest players. Anyone who has been through the cancer journey with loved ones will see beyond the nonsense.

[A Hi-Bee]

Another one stricken down by this awful disease, a disease that cares nothing for who or what you are.
My thoughts go out to his family.

If I hated any club that much I certainly wouldn’t play for them.

Yep you wouldn't wish cancer on your enemy, having seen it as many others will. It's a horrible death and will effect his whole family. The sad thing is this is the kind of thread fans of other teams will look in on.

I wonder if celtics forum is similar
