Harry Potter Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 My son came in from work yesterday with this collection of Hearts games and the press reports from the daily record and sunday mail. Anyone else remember this, i certainly dont remember it coming out, cant find a date on the collection. Great report on our famous win at Easter road with Foster scoring to get us through to the big cup quarters in 1994. Anther great report on our 2-1 win against Atletico Madrid on sept 1993 , scorers Robbo and Colquhoun in the Uefa cup in front of 15596. Nightmare was to follow losing 3-0 in spain in front of 35000 folk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanjambo Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 My folks got me one a few years back. I love it. I think it stops after the 5-1. One thing I noticed is the total difference in the quality of the reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgan Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Harry? Your sons book looked familiar to one I have, so I dug it out. It’s not the same, but here’s a photo of it anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broxburn Jambo Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I received a copy from my sister for my sixtieth, a fantastic keepsake and the only thing my my daughter has mentioned going to her when I shuffle off this mortal coil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could only find one of my copies, and the final newspaper cutting is "King Vlad the Mad" after beating Gretna in the cup final, but as I say it did get updated.

Салатные палочки Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I got one for Christmas a few years ago. I think a few places do them but its generally the same articles inside. Can get it personalised. Great looking back on some memorable results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonjambo Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 It came out about seven or eight years ago I think. Not really a history at all. Just a collection of match reports from the Record and Sunday Mail. OK if you like that sort of thing, I suppose. Still readily available on ebay. I suspect they print them to order. The 1984 Pictorial History is a much better book and is a reasonably comprehensive history of the club up to that date. Never had a dust jacket.

I wish it was possible to do a re run of the Pictorial History using modern day technology to recreate the older images that were/are glass slides. Taking into account the book was done 35 years ago there are a few images that are not exactly highest quality but that's simply due to the reproduction methods at the time, a brilliant book none the less.
