KingsknoweKid Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 It would be nice to know if the club did make a donation i am sure a few of us would make a donation to his fund.

harvey05 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 Meeting a Hearts fan with the same condition according to a mate on fbook. The elderly gentleman who appeared on the pitch The guy in the wheelchair on the pitch is Robert Wilson(If that's who you were meaning). He recently resigned his Directors position with Hearts due to health reasons. We, along with others used to walk down to the ground from "The Gilly" together. Robert was very much involved in setting up the SPL and has no doubt been a fantastic guy to have at Tynie this current season. His blood is maroon through and through.

Much as we don't like the club he played against us for its fair to say we are a caring bunch who would make a gesture and show our support As mentioned elsewhere he was a guest of the board and the club have supported MNDS. A couple of months ago (can't remember which game - possibly Hibs or Rangers) the club gave free advertising to MNDS on the electronic boards around the pitch and in the match programme, and has a feature on the charity and on the personal connection with our director, Robert Wilson.

Rick James Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 My favourite Ricksen story was when he got caught watching a porno on his laptop on a flight. End of the day, Ricksen was no different from a list of other players at different clubs. We loved to hate him, he was a controversial figure but ultimately, he was passionate about the club he played for. Every club would love a Fernando Ricksen. I really didn't like him as a player but what he's going through is really horrible and I wish him nothing but the best in dealing with his illness. Great gesture by the club too. I wonder if Rangers or any other club for that matter would do the same for someone like Skacel if that were the scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
