Andrew Lewis "Andy" Goram (born 13 April 1964) is a former Scotland international association football goalkeeper. Born in Bury, Lancashire, England, he started his career with Oldham Athletic and Hibernian, but he is best remembered for playing for Rangers during the 1990s, when he earned the moniker "The Goalie". In a 2001 poll of Rangers fans, Goram was voted Rangers' greatest ever goalkeeper.
After his time with Rangers, he played for many clubs, most notably at Motherwell and a brief loan spell at Manchester United. Goram also represented Scotland at cricket.
The son of Edinburgh-born Lewis Goram, who had played professionally in the 1940s and 1950s for Leith Athletic, Hibernian, Third Lanark and Bury, Goram was born and raised in England, although he was brought up self-identifying as Scottish.
Goram began his career at West Bromwich Albion but was released by them as a teenager. He then joined Oldham Athletic in 1981 and spent nearly seven years with the English club, making 195 appearances for them in the league. His performances saw him voted into the PFA Team of the Year for the English Second Division in 1986–87.
In 1987, he moved to Hibernian for a fee of £325,000, where his father had also briefly been a goalkeeper. He was a success at Hibs and in 1988 achieved the unusual feat of scoring a goal in a Premier Division match, against Morton, with a huge kick out. He also scored for Hibernian in a penalty shoot-out after a 0–0 draw against Clydebank in a League Cup tie in August 1989, Hibs winning 5–3. Goram further boosted his reputation during this time at Easter Road, and one save in a European tie against Standard Liège was described as having "defied logic"; Goram twisting in mid air to touch a header from Angelo Nijskens away for a corner kick.
