Bert Le Clos Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I still stand by my earlier picks, but we have had some ******* tremendous players, it really is hard to pick just 3 Particularly left backs and centre halfs. McKinlay, Pointon, Naysmith, Fyssas, Levein, McPherson, McLaren, Ritchie, Pressley, Webster.... and that's just ones that I've seen. I've always been amazed how we've never really had right backs to match the rest of our defence. I suppose Frail and Locke might have go onto be great players for us had it not been for injuries.

Bowmans_Boot Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 For what I've seen (born 70). 1 Drew Busby, I started watching Hearts when I was a bairn, Buzz was the man. 2. John Robertson, wow that is the best finisher I have ever seen. bar none! 3. Craig Levein, best compete footballer I've seen Superb post Agree completely - Robbo is the best natural finisher I have ever seen and Craig Levein is quite simply the greatest, most naturally gifted player I have ever seen play at Tynecastle - and that includes Keegan, the Bayern side, Larsson, Laudrup etc etc He had so much talent it was unbelievable.

cosanostra Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Robbo, Rudi, Cameron Hartley, JC and Levein just miss out. Same except it would be Robbo, Cameron and then Rudi for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avhudtheteeshirt Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 My picks are: Craig Levein, great football brain. John Robertson, great goal scorer. Jim Cruikshank, made the impossible look easy. Others that were left out like Bannon, I played along side him when he was young and he could read a game. John Colquhoun he would get knocked down and always got up for more. Willie Hamilton was a magician with the ball at his feet. Rudi Skacel played for fun and goals. There are plenty more, but they are my top three.

andyscott82 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Robbo and Rudi are nailed on for my top 2. Number 3 is harder to pick - guys like McCann, Hartley and Mickey all warrant it but I'm going with Crabbe. I remember throwing a major tantrum when I heard we'd sold him to United. I even think back in my early years I would have picked him over Robbo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpie Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 In these threads I feel sure I am consistent in saying Jimmy Brown, it would be more than proper and acceptable if someone said you have changed the other two frequently on similar threads. As a boy my reponses would have been Bobby Baxter, Tommy McSpadyen, upon whom I bestowed all credit for my slide tackle ability, Tommy Mackenzie had his moments in my choices, but when I got to know the man in his shop in Station Road Duddingston my mind changed dramatically. Of course who as a supporter of the fifties team would not mention that whole team, imagine leaving either Conn, Bauld or Wardhaugh off any list, in my latter years I did and still do admire Pressley as a footballer and team captain, Craig Gordon, and Niemi get there also, but my personal legends over close to seventy years are too many to list in any favorites poll.

Abbey Craig Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Robbo is a given. Then perm any two from these: And I am surprised that two of these three names have only popped up a couple of times: Craig Levein Sandy Jardine Alan Mclaren Oh how today's defence could do with two of these three!

i wish jj was my dad Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 1. Craig Levein - he really could have played for anybody. 2. Craig Gordon - ditto and I hope he gets chance to prove how good he is at a proper big club 3. John Robertson - pre-98 he was our 'trophy'. Only guid Hearts men make my list.

niblick1874 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 My three stand out in my mind. 4/5 are a bit behind these guys.

Bazzas right boot Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Has to be Robbo, JC. The third is tricky, as I think we have had really good defenders. Naysmith was a very good player as was Wallace.Both never stuck around long enough, but in my opinion were the best Scottish players in thier postion at the time. Levein, Macpherson and McLaren were also quality. Cameron, Hartley and Rudi are also close calls for a top 3 slot. Players like Smith,Berry, Mackay also bled Maroon and gave the club a great service Sticking with my top 2, the 3rd place could go to a number of players.

travellingjambo Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 John Colquhoun (to think we were actually after Provan instead from Celtic............shudder!!), Robbo, "Mickey" Cameron. Really hard to pick only 3. In all honesty my all time favourite 11 would be:- Colquhouns goalie brother (if he had one) Colquhouns right back brother (see above) Colquhouns left back brother (you're getting the picture), I would have played 9 John Colquhouns plus "Mickey" and Robbo. I ****** loved JC. Most skillfull and honest player i've seen in a Hearts shirt. All my own opinion of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
