Pierre van Hooijdonk paid tribute to “unbelievable” Rangers rival Andy Goram. The legendary Ibrox No.1 built his legacy on his Old Firm performances - with his iconic November 1995 save from the Dutchman widely regarded as the best derby stop of all time.
Goram - who died on Saturday aged 58 - pulled off an incredible point-blank block to prevent van Hooijdonk from volleying Tommy Burns’ swashbuckling Hoops in front at Ibrox. The Holland striker had the final say on a 3-3 thriller as he finally beat the Light Blues No.1 with a late header to secure a draw for his team.
But 26 years on he admits he’s still haunted by THAT save as he hailed Goram as one of the best shot-stoppers he has ever faced. The former Parkhead ace told Record Sport: “During your playing career you are rivals and we both tried to do our best for our clubs. Andy was a very, very good goalkeeper at that time for Rangers.
