TyphoonJambo Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The late, great Scotsman journalist, John Fairgrieve. He wrote on a Monday to say that various journalists in the Sunday papers had expressed surprise that Hearts find themselves on top of the league. "They don't know what they're talking about" said Fairgeieve, "Hearts are exactly where they belong". circa 1964. The last great Journo they had, RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyphoonJambo Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 There is no other club like Hearts. We don't have players we have heroes. We don't have a stadium. We have a fortress. We don't have fans. We have the heart and soul of Edinburgh. This is a dynasty that will live on for eternity. Tommy Walker. That should be above the tunnel. Hearts TV should make a big deal of it with Jamie unveiling it. ****k of Anfield, this is inspirational Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birregrande Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 "For as long as I can remember, all I wanted in my life, nothing else, was to play for Hearts, which is my dream team. And play for Scotland, I had no ambition for anything else. Always Hearts." Dave Mackay (Apologies for long content but on topic I hope) ?You monkey , you must have rubbed your hands when you saw this thread. - Only half way through and posting this as it is simply great!

LarrysRightFoot Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I know there are quotes in the tunnel and dressing room etc but I would like to see some quotes or sayings etc on banners in the ground like at Old Trafford 'giggs tearing you apart since 1991' etc (suppose that's been taken down now though). It'd be great to see some of the quotes on this thread on banners around the ground. I like my sig and the Hugh Dallas ones about the stadium. Tommy Walkers and Robbies would look great on permanent banners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birregrande Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'll add my favourite Csaba line (in my sig)- ""Can you imagine a stadium this tight with fans so close to the pitch, with 30,000 passionate Hearts fans? We would KILL everybody here." Up until last year (2014 last season) we could always have a chat with him personally outside the Nirvana as he always walked passed with a pal and had a chat if anyone wanted to. Nice guy, but quite a motor mouth on him. Scottish journos hated it, as he could hi-jack an entire press meeting, where they were hoping for juicy stuff and finding that the 1st, THE FIRST, question took up all the time. Clever lad Csaba. As to this thread, so many quotes - but EYESANDEARS wins it, a bit like the 2012 Cup Final - an avalanche of goals quotes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllyjamboDerbyshire Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Dave Mackay, a pundit for a Spurs v Derby game. The anchor man says, "So, Dave Mackay. You played for both Spurs and Derby. Who are you supporting today?" Mr Mackay leans in towards both mic and anchorman in the most pleasant, yet threatening way, says, "I'm a Hearts fan, son!" "I'm a Hearts fan, son!" And so say all of us! Doesn't matter who says it, "I'm a Hearts fan" is the proudest thing anyone, anywhere, can say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
