1957-58 must have been entertaining to watch. +74 goal difference after 22 games is pretty spectacular.

 

Picking game 22 from that season

Hearts went on to establish the record for most goals scored in a season, which stands to this day.  132 goals scored in 34 games, 29 conceded, goal difference +103.  We lost one game, to Clyde (who finished 4th).

 

My mum was lucky enough to be supporting them at that time and still has programmes from that period.  London Hearts can no doubt provide a full list, but I can remember from the previous results page in one of her programmes, we scored 9 goals twice that season, another game we hit 8 and at least once 7.

Jamie Walker, Sam Nicholson, Billy King have grown up and next season I think they will be even better. Is Gary McKay Stevens really any better than these 3?

Entertaining and spectacular to be sure.  And the crowds at Tynecastle were massive.

What sort of attendances?

I'd be pretty happy if we swapped any of those 3 for GMS.

Only managed the old 5-1 once though, disappointing!!  Still, max points against Celtic, Rangers and Hibs is cool.

Won 3-2 at Ibrox from 2-0 down.in Oct then 2-0 at Celtic in December followed by 'double' over Hibs on 1st Jan.

 

League effectively won then. Though 'chucking' away the title in BOTH 1954 and 1957 was very fresh in the fans minds.

You forgot the bit where we are in a diddy league playing part-time mechanics, waiters etc...

 

Eh? Either you're being sarcastic (which doesn't come across very well in written form), wide or monumentally dim but I think 12August1893 has covered that perfectly.

When you look back at football footage from the '50s and '60s etc the standard looks absolutely gash, but I suppose it was all relative.

You should look at scottish clubs records in europe during this time, particularly teams like dunfermline and dundee. Different times my man but they certainly were not gash.

Yeah, but the standard overseas was woeful as well in comparison to today.

 

Players smoked and drunk the night before games in those days ffs. :lol:

Aye fair enough the Real Madrid team from the 50's were pure gash and that Di stefano bloke was honking!

 

Got news for you buddy a lot of guys still smoke (look no further than our last cup winning captain) and drink (Gazza & Rangers team when they were ripping up the SPL for fun). Doubt very much many of the players from back then were also sticking a proportion of their wages up their noses either!

 

The world has changed massively since back then, the football was different but the best players still made it to the top and the standard in Scottish football was much closer to the top leagues than the gulf that exists now.

 

Anyway, we are way off topic now. Guess we have to agree to disagree.
