jamboinglasgow Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 With Conor Washington looking likely to sign, I thought I would see which Hearts players who share a surname with a US president. I make it 15 presidents who have at least 1 Hearts player with the same surname (according to London Hearts.) How many can you get (name of the president and a player who shares the name) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Muddie Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 We need Bush at Tynie. We've had a wilson or twenty, guaranteed. Defo a Jackson and Ford and surely a Nixon and Kennedy somewhere somehow. Why has my mind went blank, I'm normally good at US presidents. Roosevelt's too weird a name, so's Trump and Obama, Eisenhower, Hoover as well, all unlikely. Bound to have had a Harrison (tommy?) Doubt a Taft, prbably a McKinley, almost definitely a Taylor, but probably not a Garfield or Cleveland, although possible. Defo Johnson.

Have Hearts had a player called Taylor? Other common-ish surnames I’ve no seen mentioned: Ulysses S. Grant (must’ve had a Grant?) William Henry Harrison (Tommy) Benjamin Harris? Gerald Ford (Donaldo) Jimmy Carter? Used to know them all, but surely a chance we’ve had someone with the name Grant, Harris or Carter? Edit: Oops, missed Stephen Muddle’s post. Good work there. ?
