Rudy T Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 My boy was asking this morning when my first Hearts game was, he’s doing a history of football project at school. Think the cheeky wee shite thinks I was around in the 1800’s Any way I remember my actual first game was against Dumbarton at Tynie, Donald Park scored in a 1-0 win. I didn’t go regular until the season after. I just checked London Hearts and that first game was 35 years ago today! 3 Scottish cups, tours of Europe, relegation, promotion, Mercer, pie man, Romanov and Budge, tears, snotters, joy, anger, Robbo, Skacel, 22 in a row... and so much more I’ve seen it all and I still love Hearts! So cmon Hearts gives a big win on my anniversary!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember he scored in NYD derby, 83 or 84. Willie Irvine equalised about a minute later. It was pishing down. Robbo quickly replaced Parky as my favourite as a boy.... little did I know then I was never to see another striker like him in Maroon.... maybe one day!

Angus Ogg Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Think my first game was in 1990, I can’t remember the exact year but I do remember beating Motherwell 2:0 with Robbo and Crabbe scoring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allyby Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 (edited) First for me. Hearts v Rangers Scottish Cup Quarter Final replay 1967-68, Wednesday night and the brewery smell wafting around the ground can't remember the date as I was only 9yrs old, A Donald Ford second half goal I to win 1-0. Edit. Think it was a header but I might be wrong. Edited August 31, 2019 by allyby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
