Mikey1874 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 Ian Murray helped establish the credibility of FoH. He helped build trust among the fans as he was able to talk and write about them in a way that allowed a good debate and questions to be answered and things explained. He made a very important contribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Drew Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 I would be very surprised if Ian is not donating the profits to a deserving Hearts related cause (eg: FoH). When I ghost-wrote Drew Busby's story, I covered the costs and thereafter donated the profits to the then Hearts Youth Development Fund. Maybe Ian Murray or someone ITK can update us?

Juanjo Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Ordered the book to click and collect.

Also presumed there would be event tickets in the email with the order. Can anyone shed any light? Cheers.

westbow Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I knew Ian at university and speak to him when I see him at Sainsbury’s or whatever, decent bloke. The book will be an interesting read. Loathing and detesting are strange words to attribute to the politics of a liberal, left of centre politician but that’s the polemic age we live in. I wish politics could get back to being boring so the excitable types could go back to their sad mundane lives which they are are so desperate to have a distraction from.
