Never Let Them Forget Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Anyone heard anything about Everton coming to Tynecastle on the 25th July? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo Drifter Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Haven't heard anything. Saw them last time they were at Tynie, though. Must be over 20 years ago, pre-season friendly. We lost. Good support, very drunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Future's Maroon Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Funny you say that, because someone (who works at the club) told me, while drunk so I dont know how much to beleive, that Everton and Spurs have been approached and neither had said no, unlike three other EPL teams.

19/5HMFC12 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Would it not depend on who and where hibs have their petrofac cup game? If they were home to rangers for example, then I doubt we could have a big friendly like that. Although I would guess that there wouldn't need to be a lot of police at a friendly like this.

jambo1975 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 1-1 game was Walters Kidds game. Was the day after a 2 - 1 defeat at ER and IIRC was a miserable day and the crowd was about 7 or 8000. Sure Wayne Foster scored for us. London hearts will have the answer im sure Edit - Was Alan Moore as someone else correctly stated Foster scored against Spurs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago Alex Young was invited to Tynecastle for a game by the club, but was turned away by security because they didn't have his name, being a proud guy he didn't create a fuss, but stayed away from Tynecastle for a significant period of time, however the issue was sorted over time and there are no problems now, at Goodison however he is treated like a god Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Kidd Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I've had the pleasure of meeting Alex a couple of times and you will never meet a finer gentleman. Revered in Merseyside.

LoveNgoo Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 Nothing can be signed or announced until the Petrofac draw is done as the police will have the call if Hibs are drawn at home. It's provisionally pencilled in for a 3pm kick off. Let's hope Hibs are drawn away from home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbo Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 for a while we seemed to play them every season I was told at the time that we often played Everton in testimonials because they charged only expenses, whereas other big English clubs also wanted an appearance fee.

Tazio Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 The only time I've ever seen Alex Young in the flesh was outside the old ticket office when I was in the queue for a game at Murrayfield. Long queue all the way back to McLeod Street. He came out the ticket office and said in a loud voice "No luck lads, just got the last tickets it's sold out". Amazingly a huge amount of people fell for it. Then older guys clocked who he was and all wanted to talk to him. Seemed like a good guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was fortunate enough to have seen him playing for Hearts. A particular memory was him and Willie Bauld playing a series of one twos against Benfica in the European Cup culminating in him scoring at the school end. We lost the game 2 - 1, the second leg 3 - 0, and Benfica went on to lift the cup for the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure Wayne Foster scored for us. London hearts will have the answer im sure Edit - Was Alan Moore as someone else correctly stated Foster scored against Spurs Spot on with it being Walter Kidd's game. The 2-1 defeat at ER the day before was the end of 17 in a row. Despite that we were still top of the league and playing great stuff but I'm sure it contributed to the poor attendance the next day. That was a real shame as Everton were the reigning League Champions and despite the scoreline we absolutely pissed them off the park. Bobby Mimms was in goal for them that day and he was truly outstanding. Could easily have been 5 or 6 with a lesser keeper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 First team coach Duncan Ferguson known well to certain generations has been granted a testimonial game versus Villarreal to be played this summer.

Remember beating them in the Texaco Cup once. I thnk Evertons only sojourn to Scotland in Europe was v Dunfermline in the Fairs Cup on the same night that Rangers played Spurs maybe 63.
