Trapper John McIntyre Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 In response to the absurd thread regarding Hamill and Super Dennis, I propose we salute those bit part/fringe players who were always reliable and played their part despite never reaching the dizzy heights. For me, it's Ian Jardine from the '86 squad. Very tidy and skilful player who though used mostly from the bench, always did a good job when called on. Still don't know why the Dons were given a penalty when Jardine was 'deemed' to have handled at the 1-1 game at Tynie where JC bailed us out at the end. I was at too far away to judge at the time as it was at the school end and I was in the cross section between the Wheatfield and Gorgie which was opened for the Hearts fans that day but it seems Willie Miller was able to cast the deciding vote. Ian Jardine - good, solid player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do h1b5 do? ... NOTHING! Christ almighty their hero ( sauzee) wants **** all to do with them. How embarrassing is that, imagine one of our ex players behaving like that?

CostaJambo Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Jimmy Sandison. Also agree with Galloway, right place at the right time, but a footballing bevvy merchant just before the culture went out of fashion. Would be a magnificent sell on if playing today, even though we still got decent money for him back in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Jimmy Sandison. Good shout. I thought Jimmy was unlucky to play only 84 times over a six year period, but we had a consistent team during that era. Never let us down when he played, and did very well as that number 5/sitting midfielder circa 1990. On a personal note, a great guy who bleeds maroon.

I had the privilage of nearly being run over by Jimmy in George Street one afternoon sometime around 1987. Can't remember exactly what he was driving except it was fairly sporty enough to make me wonder how much he was earning to be able to afford it.

The guys who are lucky enough to live at home and attend matches regularly probably never get to hear what Jimmy adds to Hearts World at home games. If we ever get enough HW subscriptions Jimmy should get paid for doing away games too. As you say, bleeds maroon. Fascinating perm back in the day too.
