He won that many one on ones that it got to the stage where I was actually relaxed as opponents burst through our high line. Class goalkeeper (and a very good cricketer).

underdog Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Joe Royle had a knack of always having 2 goalies fighting for the no.1 spot. Himself and Andy Gorton. I remember him almost scoring at BP once on very windy day. Keep fighting Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsworth blue Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Puts everything into perspective Just hope Andy can defy the prognosis and somehow beat this awful condition I do know of a man who was given a month to live over 15 years ago and he is still with us (terminal cancer prognosis) so perhaps there is some hope? Loved you then as a keeper Andy love you now as one of us - OAFC family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfatjoe1 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 I feel incredibly sad. I watched most of his games for us. Best Oldham keep bar none. Wow. I am gutted. Keep fighting Andy. Thoughts are with you and your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamHughes Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 Absolutely gutted,the first player I looked at in a Latics shirt who was head and shoulders better than anybody else we had at the time.I’ve always believed he saved us 10 points a season and we’d have been a much better proposition in the top flight with Andy between the sticks.Keep battling Andy.

Ogdenwoodwhittle Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 So sad to read the interview with him in the Guardian today, brave man, top keeper for Latics and cricketer too. KTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wardie Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Considering his highly respected career, it probably seems ludicrous to our younger fans that we had such a skilled and professional player at the club. It feels like it was so very long ago. In a short space of time, I lost four family members and long-time family friend to cancer. The one person in the extended family was diagnosed with the same as Andy Goram and given 12 months. That was nearly four years ago and yes, the journey has been rocky but he is still fighting and still smiling. Good luck, Andy and I hope you can do your best to keep that bastard C from getting over the goal line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unsworth blue Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Very disconcerting is the fact that there appears to be nothing from Official OAFC about Andy Goram. Andy played 199 games for Latics and not a word, he played twice for MUFC and got message wishing him all the best!!! We have the most reprehensible, incompetent leaders at the club, roll on the day when we can get some owners in who actually value the club and its stakeholders, a bit like Port Vale have (not worked out too badly for them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
