Some of the under 40's on here should remember that they'll be an old git struggling to keep up with the latest computer technology themselves one day, and sooner than they think. This game, and the season which followed, was one that I remember vividly. I was 15 years old at the time, The Beatles were in full swing, I'd been following Hearts on my own for about 4 years by this point after my old man stopped going after he lost interest after the glory years. That season ended with the worst experience of my football life, the loss to Kilmarnock 0-2 which cost us the league. Worse even than 86 and the relegations. Anyway, I got the answers I was looking for. I've read this through and can't fund any mistaken. You’re right about that Killie game. How we blew the title that year beggars belief and still hurts. I think there are still a few stories about what went on behind the scenes that still haven’t been disclosed. The fact that the club was subsequently allowed to go into a spiral of decline for nearly 20 years says a lot about those in charge at Tynecastle at that time.

Presuming this was an advert recruiting for an elite crack team of mercenaries. I think the title “Have gun, will travel” was taken from a TV series about a cowboy “gun for hire”. So, God knows what the advert was about - maybe your suggestion is correct!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing the fact that I recalled that when all too often, I can go into another room in the house, and forget why I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right I'm away into the kitchen for a pee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Have gun will travel reads the card of a man, A fast gun for hire is the man called Paladin." Were some of the lines, I can still hum the tune. It was big at the time. I always thought Lee Van Cleefe played the part, but you're probably right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
