Some more quotes about Tynecastle, such as (if they aren’t up already) - "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 “I have refereed at the Maracana, the San Siro and the Nou Camp and although I have been impressed by their grandeur, they don?t hold a candle to the refereeing at Tynecastle in terms of atmosphere.” Hugh Dallas The Dave Mackay one is on the wall on the upper floor of the training academy at the Oriam.

As JTF Robertson would confirm, I was a star pupil and sporting superstar at Darroch Academy. One day in the gym I I made a total bollocks of the vaulting horse and put out my left arm to avoid landing on my heid. Was taken to Chalmers by a teacher to learn that my wrist was broken. Alfie was there with a common leg injury the name of which I can't recall but he told me it was an 8 week recovery. We only chatted for 5 minutes or so before he was called in for his plastering procedure. I waited for around 2 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a fantastic history to be proud of & it’s important to remember & cherish it for future generations etc. Not just the modern day greats but the ones who went before them laying the foundations I feel. I’d love a timeline style mural recounting our history & past events kind of a storyline theme along a whole concourse wall etc. 😊 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see from farther down the thread you were only there the one year, '64 was my final one so you must be a whippersnapper in comparison. The vast majority of my mates there were Tynie inclined. Darroch also, for pretty much the first time in their puff, had a good football team, which put a limit on the number of yours truly's appearances.
