Andy Goram

[ChicagoBlue]

Fuck!

Played with him at Oldham Athletic when he was coming up. Was a laugh a minute, as are many Scots, and had just enough crazy in him to be a great keeper!

Obviously, followed his career from afar since we were in our teens, and was glad to see he did so well for himself.

No age to get such a dread disease. Makes you realize your mortality. Just had another lad my age die! Ugh!

I worked oesophageal cancer clinics many times and it was always one of the hardest - patients seemed to get really fucking horrible symptoms and the inability to eat just made it even harder as their weight dropped.
One of the reasons I quit working Oncology….
My heart goes out to him and his family.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Awful news. Was a great laugh of a bloke. Hit me for 6 clean out of Boundary Park in a charity game back in the day, in fact it might not have landed yet.

 

[RayCTID]

Horrible news and horrible disease.

Remember him playing for Coventry at Highfield Road years ago, evening game and we lost 4-3. I think it might have been Dickson Etuhu's first game I thought he might have been a prospect but sadly not, good luck to Andy in his battle

Good grief! Devastating.

A magnificent goalkeeper in his time.

I saw that earlier - very sad. One takeaway from his tale is if there is an issue get it looked at - sadly Andy waited until the pain was unbearable. We will never know whether earlier investigation would have had a better outcome for Andy but on average it is a fact early detection has better outcomes. Regardless of that I am sad to hear of Andy's plight.

 

[Big Swifty]

Very good at cricket too, I believe.
Sad.news indeed.

Yes, he represented Scotland at cricket, so was a double international.

A fantastic goalkeeper back in the day, terrible to read that, wishing Andy and his family all the best.

My cousin died of this cancer a couple of years ago. Refused to see a doc until it was too late. If in doubt, get checked out.
