Bert Le Clos Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hartley or Cameron? Two of the best attacking midfielders of the modern era for Hearts. Similar in some respects, different in others. Both created lots, although I'd say Cameron was the more stylish of the two. Hartley was more of a driving force, creating things with runs rather than passes. Both excellent penalty takers. I'd go for Cameron, just. Always felt Hartley was only a challenge or a comment away from a red crad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Tarts 1874 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I think Cameron has been more consistant throughout his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poseidon Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Very tough one. The head says Cameron but the heart says hat-trick Hartley! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectiveness.......................Cameron every time:) Guess it's just opinion, I always thought Cameron was the more classy player. Hartley would run himself into the ground and that was part of what made him so effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 What a complete bitch of a question! I narrowly opted for Cameron, but it wasn't easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigO Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Mickey for me. Hartley was great, but thought the wee man had more football about him. Both 100% every game kinda guys though. Mickey was helped alot by Baggio and Salvatori too, Salva allowed him to get forward and Fults picked out his runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hearts_crazy Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Paul Hartley = poor man's Colin Cameron. What I wouldn't give for 11 players with Colin Cameron's attitude BTW. When he was tackled he would chase the player around the park all day until he got the ball back. Some of our lazy winkers should be forced to watch old videos of Colin Cameron.

mickmaroon Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Much as I liked Hartley (and loved him for 'that' hat-trick), my vote is for Mickey without a moment's hesitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the players that left post cup final, Cameron was the only one who put me close to tears. I was gutted when he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fat Striker Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Spot on. Of all the players that left post cup final, Cameron was the only one who put me close to tears. I was gutted when he left. Me too. Last player I've 'mourned'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonraker Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Definitely a toughie. Neither were the biggest on the park. Both ran for miles during a match and it was not headless chicken, ever decreasing circles running but with purpose. Both could read a game, intercept passes and break with pace directly at the defense putting them on the back foot and creating space for others. Even when having off games they rarely hid. Agonised over the decision but Cameron by a whisker if only because he was instrumental in me seeing my first Hearts Scottish cup win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Tucker Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Agonized over it, but Hartley for me! That Hat-trick, that penalty, all those goals against Hibs and the celebrations that followed, that spirit and that love he had for this club (not saying Cameron didn't have that love obviously!). Paul Hartley IS a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommythejambo Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hard one to call. Hartley was more my time so voted for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makween Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Both were very good players for Hearts. For most of Cameron's time at Hearts I was pretty young so was probably more able to judge Hartley, so I've voted for him. Piece of useless trivia # 1 for today : My wee cousin was born in July 1998 and is called Cameron after Colin Cameron. Edit : How can there be an "other" option in a poll out of who was better between Hartley and Cameron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambos are go! Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I went for Harltey but neither can measure up to the genius that was Steve Fulton. Best Hearts midfileder since the 1960s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
