Mr. Goram was known to support Ulster Loyalists in his days as a rangers goalie. - _{unsigned comment by 66.15.171.152, 20:30, 1 August 2005}

Andy Goram was reportedly diagnosed with schizophrenia (I can't find an actual date for these reports, but I'm pretty sure it was while he was playing for Rangers), prompting chants from the fans of:

"Two Andy Gorams, there's only two Andy Gorams"

The chant became the title of the book Two Andy Gorams: The Funniest Football Songs Ever.... by Ian Black (ISBN: 1902927532)

I have removed the sectarian-based content. It is both flimsy and unsupported material and seriously unbalances the article.

I have readded some of the sectarian content that I found sources for. Can't find one for the UVF photo but I remember it being in all the papers at the time. Catchpole 10:12, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Andy goram never won 48 caps for scotland, and i thought when the fans sang 2 andy gorams it was due to the size he was slightly overweight?

[edit] Questionable sentence

"although he frequently withdrew from squads which led to his international career being curtailed."

What about the Jim Leighton?

"Proving he is sectarian"

This may help you. Archibald99 22:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for that, although I was already perfectly aware of the definition. For anyone who can't be bothered to click on the link provided, this is the appropriate definition : sec·tar·i·an (sĕk-târ'ē-ən) - One characterized by bigoted adherence to a factional viewpoint. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Cloveoil (talk • contribs) 23:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
