Silvery_Moon Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Something a little different but thought it may be of interest. Apologies for Sandy Clark's interview being cut. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNCtFyVNCPU&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack D and coke Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Funny how the game's changed. Interesting comment from Sandy Clark saying we played four at the back and four across the middle to tighten the space??!! If only we played 4-4-2 at all anymore never mind away from home in europe.

Floyd Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Watching that reminds me of how much I miss Mr Mercer, he was so media savvy and loved an interview and a press conference. And he saved the club and brought back Robbo. Sir, I salute you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portobellojambo1 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I'd forgotten how bad the surface was for the game in Mostar until watching that video. Was a good time, and a super trip, in the good old days when it was still Yugoslavia and cheap as chips (20 cigarettes were about 2p, a litre of brandy around 29p, vodka slightly dearer, and a three course meal was next to nothing, although the price could change 3 to 4 times depending on how long it took you to eat (such was the state of the Yugoslav dinar at that time)).

i wish jj was my dad Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I remember watching that interview after partaking in my first ever session in a pub (I was 15) and the news was just breaking about Robbo coming back. IIRC we beat Der Hun 2 nil on the following Saturday with Robbo and Tosh playing on the Saturday. One of the better weeks to be a Jambo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambonian Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I had to be in Edinburgh for some business re the club -- wonder what that turned out to be ? Tosh had just signed, Robbo was on his way back and we started the season without a sponsor, after getting to the quarter-finals we got a 6 month sponsorship deal with Novafone, the same strip was used the following season but the sponsor had changed to Thorn Security. ?350,000 spent on McKinlay, ?700,000 on Robbo and we beat Rangers that next game 2-0, if memory serves me right it was played on 10th December 1988, the same night my local was completely trashed because of massive brawls all over the place.

Mister Dee Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 It's interesting how highly some fans think of the late Wallace Mercer I remember how hated he was at the end of his reign. The abuse he got was not quite as bad the pieman, but still pretty fierce. Admitting he was a Tory, & inviting the then Tory PM didn't help. The notoriety he achieved with his 'plan' to obliterate Hibs somewhat clouds the other great work he did at Hearts. A real showman in an era the game began to take itself too seriously. RIP Mr Mercer. You were one of us, & without you we'd be history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
