Andy Goram hailed as 'Scottish goalkeeping legend' in House of Commons

Andy Goram was hailed as a "Scottish goalkeeping legend" in the House of Commons today.

The Rangers and Scotland hero died aged 58 last weekend following a short battle with cancer.

Ian Blackford, the SNP leader at Westminster, asked MPs to join him in passing condolences to Goram's family and friends.

The MP, a Hibs supporter, told MPs that Goram was "the best goalkeeper that many of us have seen".

The goalie enjoyed four seasons at the Easter Road club before moving to Ibrox in a £1.5 million deal in 1991.

Blackford said: "I'm sure Mr Speaker, the whole House will want to join with me in passing condolences to the family and friends of the Scottish goalkeeping legend, Andy Goram, who sadly passed early last weekend.

"He will long live in the memory and was the best goalkeeper that many of us have seen."

Goram won 43 caps and played four times for his country at cricket - the only modern era Scot to have played at the top level at both sports.

He helped Rangers win five Scottish Premier League titles, three Scottish Cups and two League Cups.

Goram was also on loan at Manchester United during the run-in as they won the Premier League title in 2000-01.

He was most recently goalkeeping coach with West of Scotland Football League club Cambuslang Rangers.
