Captain America Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 From what Rudi has just retweeted on Twitter from his current club it appears he is retiring after their game tomorrow. Legend is a word thrown about bit too often these days but this guy falls well within that category for our club. Enjoy retirement Rudi. ❤ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jambos_1874 Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 The dream of seeing him back playing for us is finally over then!! Definitely one of my favourite Hearts players. Quite incredible what he achieved in such a short time playing for the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be trying to see if coaching is for him and if so finding some role at the club for him without a shadow of a doubt. Rudi is a player of a kind we haven’t had too many of in the last 10-20 years. This club isn’t all about Craig ****ing Levein.

chester copperpot Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Robbo Rudi Hartley Levein/Jardine/Adam/Cameron In that order. I honestly would let him have bum fun with me just so I could say I spent a night with Rudi Skacel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Many greats I've witnessed at Hearts. See Cameron, Pressley, Hartley, Takis etc. The list goes on. But Rudi is my ultimate hero. Played for Hearts at a time when I was at my most impressionable. During the 2005/06 season, I got the full strip with Skacel 8 on the back, got his boots, wore the sweatbands and wristbands like Rudi, done his celebration when I scored. Literally the first person I ever wanted to be. Enjoy retirement you handsome *******, and I hope we see more of you back in Edinburgh in the future.

Robbo-Jambo Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 A genius with that left foot Never seen anyone hit a ball so cleanly. One goal against St Mirren think when he scored a hatrick just about ripped the net off. Think it was first and we went down to ten men and won 5- 2?

martoon Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I wonder how many family pets, even children, go by the name of Rudi in Edinburgh. Always a sign of legendary status. Our cat is called Maulary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Brown Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Three goals that stick out. You knew he would score but no other player probably would 1. The second in a 2-0 win at Tyney against Celtic. The ball drops from a failed clearance and drills a volley into the bottom right. 2. Final minutes of new year derby at ER. 3. Semi final against Celtic. The last one, any player would play safe and roll it in, but the defender would have covered it. He smashes high. My favourite player of all time.

martoon Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 Completely agree. The league goal against Celtic was probably the sweetest strike of a ball I've seen. The nonchalant way he calmly gets the ball under control v. Hibs, looks up, then smashes it home is remarkable. Rudi knows he's scoring as the ball drifts over to him. The superb light touch to evade Forster then have the intelligence to just lift the ball high into the net was genius. Life feels right when Robbo is on the payroll and I reckon Rudi's presence would feel the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperstarSteve Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I’ll never forget the day he returned. Off the bench. What a welcome. What a god awful performance. Next game was his first start.
