trotter Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I admit to starting a holocaust of a topic the other night, but this one is reeking of fuddery. I invite anyone who doubts GLs maroon credentials to watch his reaction to Billy Kings' goal in the relegation derby and come back to this thread Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwidoug Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 11 hours ago, John Findlay said: He had both hands tied behind his back as manager. There are quite a few players particularly Callum Paterson who wouldn't be where they are if it had not been for Gary Locke. A deficit of 15 points before a ball was kicked was a very tough ask. League Cup Final. We should have been out of site by half time. Certain players let the club and supporters down that day. John Sutton being guilty the most. Not Gary Locke. I know my son will never forgive Sutton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Section Q Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 On 30/06/2018 at 11:04, Shedro said: Aye who can forget him being injured for well over a year then (for me) spoiling the 98 Cup presentation then after Hearts getting him fully fit he buggers of after Jim Jeffries to Bradford, then comes back after his Kilmarnock contract and does his coaching badges and eventually gets the main job alongside Darren Murray only to then bring that turn coat Billy Brown back and gradually pushes him to the side (luckily he got the Wolves job) and then continues to see us lose a semi final against Cali thistle after strolling the game at Easter Road and also we are done at Hampden from St Midden and then we were relegated when he settled for draws when we were needing wins, he's undoubtedly a 100% died in the wool Hearts man but I wouldn't think a Testimonial is in order as he's STILL living off the club to this day. ?

Unless you really can't stand the man. In truth, I don't think there should be a testimonial for either but on a relative scale I'm pointing out the service to the club given by a guy at the club compared to Gary Locke's service. It isn't a case of any personal feelings at all towards Gary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the first time I’d seen Hearts win a trophy and if Gary had done handstands naked I might just have joined in!! quite amazing to have a feelng of embarrassment. ??♂️??♂️ Shredo's not embarrassed, Dave, he's sitting back and enjoying the bites. ?

Escobar PHM Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I think testimonials should only be given to players who spent their career giving an outstanding level of service throughout their career. A legend for want of a better word. Gary Locke misses out on that categorisation for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboAndrew Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 A man who put his heart and soul into the club. Had the privilege to pull on the shirt. And has carried on being a true ambassador. The man bleeds maroon. Hope he gets a good turn out. Was he the best player to play for us? No. But did he put everything in on and off the pitch? From what I've seen, yes. Good on him.i hope he gets some of his ex-colleages on the pitch as he has played with some hearts greats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambo1975 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 (edited) Can't really grumble about this for Lockie given his service to the club in various roles. One for the stattos thou, when did we last hold a testimonial for someone who played his first and last game of his career for us without playing elsewhere? I'm guessing we would have to go way back for that! Edited June 30, 2022 by jambo1975 Error Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
