Mister Dee Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 RIP. What an outstanding player he obviously was -& achieved more for Hearts than I could even dream about. Sorry to hear of his passing, but it’s lovely to hear others tributes about him. Club legend, and would like to think we will be honouring his memory in a permanent way.

RobboM Posted January 3, 2019 Share Posted January 3, 2019 Just sharing a story from the Blackburn Utd website Sad to hear of the passing of former Hearts great Freddie Glidden. Freddie grew up in the area and played in the all-conquering Murrayfield Rovers Juvenile side in season 1945-46, winning all cups entered. They played at old Murrayfield Park where the bowling club now sits. He joined Hearts and became captain on the famous 1950's side, lifting the Scottish Cup in 1956 when the bus carrying the victorious team from Hampden came through Blackburn so Freddie could show the cup to his parents as they drove past. RIP Freddie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend. Rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glamorgan Jambo Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Really sad news as I figure that's the last of that cup winning team gone now. Thoughts to the family. I met his son Andy a few times through a mutual friend from Broxburn who also is sadly no longer with us (our friend not Andy who last time I noticed had a thriving business on George Street). Was and is rightly extremely proud of his dad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambothump Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 One of his regular Saturday golfing four was Jim Leighton, NOT that Jim Leighton ! Both total gentlemen, and I still see "Jimmy the jeweller" fairly regularly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maple Leaf Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 I've just learned of a band called Maroon 5. Freddie's jersey number was, of course, number 5, so I immediately thought of him. I very much doubt if he would appreciate the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannymack Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Was in the club shop today and got a copy of the programme, oops sorry, the matchday magazine. I urge everyone to purchase a copy as this issue has a tremendous tribute to 'Captain Marvel 56' with extended coverage of his life at Heart of Midlothian with a variety of images showing the great man on and off the field.
