Kris scored a good goal when he came on; Run from the middle and a good dig from either just outside or just inside the box (tough to tell from the other end). As for Mark O'Neil, if he is the dude I think you mean (lanky dude with a mess of black hair) he had a the best chance for the non Hearts sides with a good chance very late on.

:rofl:

Of the many descriptions applicable to Mr O'Neill, lanky is most certainly not one of them.

Mark was the no.9 for Real in the first half.

I was manning one of the gates, I'm normally the goalkeeper for Real but Ross had played alongside John Tams for years so it was only right he played. And by the end of the first half I wasn't exactly distraught at not taking to the field! Ross certainly didn't disgrace himself although I would like to point out a few of those boys hadn't played for Real in years and the side that took to the field wasn't totally reflective of our current team. But it was never about the result today and it was great to see over 800 people show up (a few more came in after the attendance was taken).

Locke totally bossed the midfield and McLaren barely ran the length of himself but completely strolled the game - Jose was just Jose, a born entertainer. The legs have gone but the class still remains.

Thanks to everyone who came but a special mention for Kelly Jack who organised everything.

I only could stay for the first half was impressed by Brian McNaughton's four goals. How many did he score in the second half?
Also Alan Lawrence played well.

Honour to be involved today, got an absolute roasting off Jimmy Rae, had great banter with Jose and was amazing to see John again. He is doing fantastically well.

A huge, massive, mammoth thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who came along or has supported the benefit cause in any way. This is Heart of Midlothian.

If you were manning the one behind the Calderwood, then thanks for having the decency for not pulling me up for failing to add up to ten correctly! :laugh:

A good turnout today. The last time I saw a crowd like that at New Dundas Park it cost 6d to get in. :unsure:

Anyone know who the drunken c0ck was ? He was up at the main entrance heckling Henry just after the start of the 2nd half ??

Probably one of the Calderwoods finest.

Anyway hope he was proud of himself, cursing and being a bit of knob in front of all the kids that were there.

I saw and heard that boy an aw. He was slagging Henry off, F'in, C'in and singing glory to the vermin etc, an absolute roaster, especially when there were loads of kids around. He even swore at the linesman but then said he was awrite cause he was a vermin fan.

Great day though and must have been a really good amount raised for the cause which is a credit to all who organised, crackin weather too which made it even better.

Nahh Mark O'Neil is short fat and bald... Think he was number 9 for RM

I'm sure Mark will be delighted when he reads this.

Kris will be an absolute nightmare if he gave him the run around...

Dont worry he will be fine, I'm off to Budapest with him on Thursday and we all tell him that all the time.... I actually amended it as its usually "short fat bearded and bald"

Forgot to add "Kris will be an absolute nightmare if he gave him the run around...".... isn't he always

it's alright Darren, I was aware of my shortness, fatness and baldness prior to reading the thread.

I can't remember doing so much running in a game for a long time and all in vain. I had one chance when I tried to lob Henry, but forgot you're meant to get it back under the bar...

The highlight of the game for me was misisng Kris's goals cause I was getting changed, he looked genuinely gutted when I told him :D

Cheers Kitster.:thumbsup:

We were in the family enclosure to support my big bruv's boys. I hope they made a bunch.

Oh, and if there were no unclaimed raffle prizes, could the numbers be posted on line by any chance.....:unsure:

One of the organisers has a list of all the winners of the raffle. Im sure they were all claimed though. I will double check

Superb day on Sunday. Thanks to everyone who was there and contributed to the cause. John and Nicola couldnt believe the level of support there. A shame Real/Duddingston couldnt make it more of a spectacle but the legends were different class. Longest 90 minutes Ive ever played :lol:

The Legends next match is against a Bilston select on sun 26 Sept and Ferguson Park in Rosewell
