Mr. Goram was known to support Ulster Loyalists in his days as a rangers goalie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.15.171.152 ( talk • contribs) 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?
"although he frequently withdrew from squads which led to his international career being curtailed."
What about the Jim Leighton?

Whether sectarian or not, Andy Goram's support for the UVF is controversial as they are a terrorist group resonsible for the killing of innocents. This man's disgusting views are a point of interest when looking at him, and hence there is no reason why they should not be featured on his article. There's evidence. He's posing with a UVF flag. The only reason for editing that out and labelling it vandalism is Unionist/Rangers bias. - SkinTheGoat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SkinTheGoat ( talk • contribs) 23:28, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Currently Goram is categorised as both Scottish of English Descent, and English of Scottish Descent. While he can be descended from both Scots & English, he cannot be both Scottish and English. So which is it? His self-identification as Scottish would suggest Scottish, which means the second category is wrong, regardless what his descent is.
Regarding which; the cite provided on his upbringing in England explains nothing about the nationality of his parents or even grandparents. All we can say is he was born and brought up in England, which tells us nothing of his descent. -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 14:28, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
