McGregor is still doing it for us now. We have been blessed with amazing keepers over the years and I think as time progresses , balls move differently and players get better mcgregor edges it. My claim to fame is I played goram at pool in a pub in millport when I was 8. It was a fiver a game or a rum and coke for him if he won. A proper ranger through and through. My old man was up at the bar. It's only a generation thing in the sense that one generation has seen Goram and the other hasn't. Older bears are the only ones in a real position to judge.

I was meaning in the sense of the footballers being better athletes and the ball not being a big lump of leather compared to the movement players can get on a ball now a days. So for me that just edges it for mcgregor obviously we never seen Goram in this era so I'm probably doing him a disservice because he was imo genuinely world class. We have been extremely lucky to have had they 3 keepers over the years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarzM 1,248 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 I'm lucky enough to have seen 4 great keepers in my time. Woods, Goram, Klos and McGregor. All class in their era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A top keeper must have 2 of the 3 , Goram could play in today's game no bother such was his prowess with the ball at his feet. I genuinely love goram but a don’t remember seeing him being good at crosses. Theres a cracking documentary with, Neville southall (I think not sure) where they talk about being keepers and how Andy had to adapt his game for being a shorter goalie. Great documentary/interview.

16BlueSherbert90 19,223 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 McGregor is great...really great. But Goram will always be my absolute favourite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his biggest weakness is shots from distance tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wish he would have a tiny bit more gumption like Goram did. He was an outstanding keeper...and he was drunk throughout his days as keeper haha....which is probably why he had no fear of anything in fairness 😂 His hatred for them was something else also. My hero 👌 (Shame he's done a bit of a turnaround since his days with us though...same with McCoist) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hero 👌 (Shame he's done a bit of a turnaround since his days with us though...same with McCoist) I think he’ll be here for a while. With Goram he’s like me a wee keeper so how he managed to play the way he did was unreal. But like a said it must be the age thing and the fact I’ve witnessed greegsy doing the things he does, whereas I’ve never had the pleasure of watching Gorum make the saves he did.

Christ, even our backup Niemi turned out to be an absolute machine between the sticks. At one point our 3 goalkeepers were Klos, Niemi and Charbonnier, who was the France no2 at the time of the WC98 behind Barthez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltago 66 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Goram was best keeper in the world at one point I reckon. We’ve always been lucky with our keepers, had some real world class keepers over the years. Some forgetting the GOAT Cammy Bell though 😂☝️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectre 1,663 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Goram for me, there was genuinely a point in the 90's where we probably had the best keeper in the world. We seem to always have been lucky, in my lifetime anyway, to have had top top keepers though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooper07 14 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Goram is the best ever for me. At his peak he was one of the best if not the best keeper in Europe in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
