Rangers icon Andy Goram 'very poorly' as fundraiser cash handed over to family

Airdrie businessman Bobby Clark was 'honoured' to present the proceeds of a £30,000 benefit night to Rangers legend Andy Goram's family, but says 'The Goalie' is "going downhill rapidly".

Bobby Clark and his wife Anne-Marie presented a £20,000 cheque to Andy's son Daniel, while a further £5000 went to St Andrew's Hospice, where the Coatbridge man is receiving care.

Clark held a benefit night for Goram in Airdrie Working Men's Club on Wednesday, June 22, with a cast of former Rangers and Celtic stars in attendance, which raised nearly £30,000.

It was compered by comedian Tam Cowan, while former Celtic striker Frank McAvennie played a big role in bringing the football stars together.

A five-minute appearance by the former Scotland goalkeeper had everybody on their feet, and Clark says "there wasn't a dry eye in the house".

Bobby, who runs BC Travel, says it's difficult to see Andy as he is, but at least he can try and make a difference to his family.

He said: "The cheque hand-over went fine. Unfortunately we couldn't see Andy because he's very poorly. He's going downhill rapidly.

"I've known Andy for a while because he did a few prostate cancer nights in the Working Men's Club over the years.

"The fundraiser went well last week. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. We had Andy on the stage for five minutes and he was funny, but it was also heart-breaking the stories he was telling us.

"We had £10,000 from Rod Stewart tickets, which was amazing, and we raised just under the £30,000 mark. Twenty grand of that went to Andy, with £5000 to the hospice, and the remainder goes to prostate cancer charity.

"As a Rangers fan it's a great honour to do something for Andy. As soon as I heard about it, I was on the phone to Frank
