Wasn't Tommy Lawrence "The flying pig", or were there two of them?

Probably, Andy Goram Probably inherited the name much later but not because he came out fast and hard, but because he was small and dumpy but flew through the air like a cat and was arguably the best goalkeeper at Ibrox in my lifetime.

My pronouns are "He", "Him" and "buggerlugs"
He's one of those who goes beyond the usual Old Firm nonsense. The best goalkeeper I have ever seen with Hibs, Rangers, Motherwell and Scotland.

"Two Andy Gorams"

He talked about being knocked back as a boy by whoever was managing Leeds during the battle of Britain. Do you still think I'm too small, was his retort as he walked off the pitch at Elland Road, victorious? :becool:

I see Mo Salah has signed a 3 year contract at £350K a week.
If they click that will be some forward line.


That kinda salary is just 'obscene'

Yeah, I'm aware of what he does, but put THAT into perspective with an N.H.S nurse.

Kicking a bladder around, as opposed to patching-up wounded & dying people.

Mo Salah was 'on fire' during his peak at Liverpool, but £350k , now ?

Andy Goram, the flying pig, forever a legend at Ibrox sadly passed away today far too young. Simply The Best.

An absolute legend. He and Leighton (other than Killie goalkeepers) were the best I watched growing up.

Cancer of any kind is horrible, but oesophageal is particularly grim.

He still at his peak….also Mo Salah gets paid by a company and not by the public purse like a nurse does….he also earns less than ronaldo, messi, halaand, debruyne, mbappe, neymar to mention just a few.

Maybe if Salah had won as many trophies as the rest of those other guys (other than Halaand) he'd be able to command a higher salary?

Great player, no doubt, but not much to show for it.

Without looking it up I'd say it was Howard Wilkinson. My 43 years a Leeds fan friend, still hasn't got over it.:rolleyes:

Premier league, champions league, world club cup, european super cup, fa cup, caraboa cup, 4 golden boots, pfa and players player of the year, team of the year, european team of the year….is that not enough??? You dont earn more if you win more trophies, otherwise mbappe and neymar would be on pennies a week

Seriously? Because Mbappe and Neymar have both won more than Salah. And the more trophies you win, the higher your profile, and the more you get paid.
