TNCASTLE Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Who remembers Bobby Blackwood and the Clancy’s? The latter as Paul, Ronnie and Laurie. Bobby has passed now. Senior Clancy was head of police in Midlothian at one time. The Clancy’s were, shall we say, vocal. I think Ronnie is or was a QC! All of this when Mathers West End was the king of bars for refreshing Hearts fans...Bobby Blackwoods coat could have kept 8-10 people warm...

Great guy and very knowledgeable about Hearts. He's moving back to Edinburgh so you might see him a bit more at games GC Worked with Peter Hay in Ferranti, he loved nothing better than talking up his beloved Hearts. As I knew sign language, he would end up appearing nearby on Monday mornings. When it was terracing at the school end, he would usually stand near the pie stand.

He’s standing at the top of elm row on the corner with London Road, loads of hearts gear, carry out at his feet, Union Jack draped round his shoulders singing The Gorgie Boys at the top of his voice.

COACH 13 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 A regular at away games for years was a really tall guy in a long Barbour jacket and cowboy/county hat. Sure he was bald but we always spotted him at away games for years. Another was the Dunfermline branch boys, remember them after by chance getting a lift to Aberdeen away after they spotted us in scone high street. Stopped at cove rangers before the game, Banjaxed before we got to the game. Good lads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finlay James Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Two distinct characters that stand out for me are a bloke called Mark who was, to be polite, overweight and had a distinctive ginger ponytail. We used to call him the commitments as he looked like the lead singer in the film of the same name. He always stood right at the top of the corner during the terracing days. The other, is the tidy wee woman/girl that used to work in the Gorgie fish bar in the 80's and 90's. I tried like a bear to go out with her and chatted her up every home game. Fancied her so much I can't remember her name 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John mcCartney Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Just received some info on Louis the rasta type dude from Musselburgh. Apparently still supports Hmfc and resided next door to my sister at Goose Green by the river at Musselburgh. When I last saw him there(7,8 years ago now) I instantly recognised him from the eighties games,nice enough bloke. His brother passed away in his house and was subsequently offered a new gaff by the council,he now resides at Newbigging,Musselburgh. Hopefully hes doing ok.
