JamboSpur Posted August 21 We’ve had some pretty random player passing through over the last 5 years but where are they now. I’ll start this off with Blazej Augustyn, now 31 and playing at Lechia Gdansk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AW1 Posted August 21 Alexandros Tziolis Now at Al-Fayha in Saudi Arabia. Just a pass through with Hearts but his football CV makes for pretty decent reading. I didn't really know what to make of him......... Scored at Motherwell then didn't really do much else Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HillmanHearts Posted August 21 Funnily enough I spotted Rob Mckinnon on a youtube clip of an old Hearts game the other day. I recall being quite excited about his signing. He had been a standout for Motherwell and had a couple of years at a good level in Holland. But never really got going at Hearts and lasted a season of mediocrity and then left.

BarneyBattles Posted August 21 Hjalmar Thorarninsson (age 33). Playing for Berserkir and rattling a 70 year old according to wiki. He scored v. Motherwell in the wee cup semi at Easter Road in 2005. I left at 2-0 down with 10 mins to go and we got it back to 2-2 before losing in ET. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BackOfTheNet Posted August 21 The Romanov era had many of these types. Like Chris Hackett (went into have long spells at Millwall and Northampton, now youth coach at Oxford), Lee Johnson (Manager of Bristol City now, went to play for them after us but had a spell at Kilmarnock too). They weren’t big losses but Martin Petras was hugely underused (went to play for loads of Italian clubs). A bit later we had the likes of Ismael Bouzid (was at Progres Niederkorn!).

Scored at Motherwell then didn't really do much else Actually think he would be a great player for us in the middle of the pitch with the squad we have now. Calm and composed and could pick a pass. Strange one we signed and how it didnt quite work out as clearly a player Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was a school night, raining if I recall correctly? Think Richie Foran scored the winning goal from the penalty spot in extra time. Very possible that’s all wrong. Edit: Just watched footage. No rain, and Foran’s penalty was to make it 2-0. Close enough. Edited August 21 by GarryJ-o-s Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Rabbit Posted August 21 Ramon Pereira signed from Raith. I always remember him being fairly good as a kid but admittedly was pretty young and only seemed to score 2 goals in 16 games so probably the reason he only last a season 😂 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
