iantjambo Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 On the back of the other thread. I'll probably think of another one, but off the top of my head, I remember a game at Tynecastle during the 90's against Partick Thistle and John Colquhoun was absolutely untouchable. He scored the only goal of the game and would've created god knows how many more if his teammates had had their shooting boots on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortunately didn't have too much longer to wait. Yip, Has to be close as best individual performance. Natural to go for a game we won, but that is a cracking shout. Gary Mckay had a stormer in a 4-0 v Motherwell just as Jeffries turned us around and we were playing the best football I've seen us play, ever.

Carl Fredrickson Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Would agree with the McCann shout but would also say Henry Smith circa 1985 at Parkhead had an outstanding game. He played so well in what I think was a 1-1 draw that he featured on the Saints and Greavsie Show the following week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 First that springs to my mind was Henry at Parkhead in late 1983. He was incredible that day, defying them over and over. That thing McGarvey did score but Jimmy Bone got us a 1-1 draw. A week or two later Smith's performance was highlighted on Saint & Greavsie. The latter refused to believe that a Scottish goalkeeper could be that good and suggested he must be English. Cue Henry at Tynecastle showing his birth certificate to the camera and telling Greaves that his teammates had a message for him. Camera panned out and the squad were lined up giving the GIRUY gesture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure there is anyone who's come close to that kind of performance in the 50+ years I've been following HMFC. He was so good that Rangers (sadly now no more) substituted Cleland at h/t and put two men on him in the second half (maybe Moore and an other?) and even then they couldn't contain him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with shouts for McCann in league cup final, think there were 4 players trying to stop him towards the end. Bloody robbed we were too, Bjorkland should have been sent off, so we stop, Gascoigne plays on and scores. Dodgy linesman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first one that sprung to mind with me. A performance deserving of a winner's medal. Another that stands out as a true captain's performance was Pressley away to Falkirk 2005. Down to ten men after about 20 minutes when Gordon was sent off and 2-0 down. Pressley scored two - including a last minute equaliser - to keep us unbeaten. The great man showed his passion by beating his chest which may upset a few on here. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the best result of course, or even best atmosphere, or most important but it’s an absolute belter of a match.

Nathan2012 Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Andy Thorn v Celtic in League Cup in 1996, think he had only been signed one or two days before and just after we had the 4 sent off at Ibrox.
