Guest Maroon Carpet Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Anyone remember a friendly at Tynecastle in 1984 Hearts vs Arsenal, now this is from the top of my head, no checking google or anything, it was a Sunday if I remember, and we won 2-1 Walter Kidd scored one of our goals, and I think it was Paul Mariner that scored for Arsenal. I remember when Mariner scored he let out a shout in English, and was subsequently booed. I also seem to recall a heavy downpour of hailstones during this match, can anyone remember all of this?

Say What Again Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 we won 2-1 Walter Kidd scored one of our goals I remember the game and Kidd scoring a peach - but wasn't the result was 3-2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maroon Carpet Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I remember the game and Kidd scoring a peach - but wasn't the result was 3-2? Yeah, you could be right, who were the other scorers? Was this match played in August that year, I had a feeling that it was played on April 15th 1984 the same day that Tommy Cooper died live on TV, perhaps not.

You were spot on with the date. Other scorers were Jimmy Bone and Gary Mackay. http://www.londonhearts.com/scores/games/19840415.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maroon Carpet Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 There used to be a site that you could find archive details etc, anyone know of it? Ah, you just beat me to it, yeah that's the site I meant, thanks for finding it. Also this confirms that it was indeed the same day as the passing of Tommy Cooper live on TV that night at around 8:20 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We_are_the_Hearts Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 One of my early memories as a JT. Was in the old North Stand (N Upper now) and Kidd scored a peach at the school end. Sunny day with Arsenal playing in Yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maroon Carpet Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I noticed that it doesn't give the opposing team scorer details, but I am sure that Paul Mariner was one of them, and Rix is who jambovambo thinks scored their second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Mariner could speak English?!?!?!? It was more of a girly-shriek, as I remember, but he did get booed for it for the rest of the game, and rightly so.

Guest Tynie Bubbles Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 It was played on my 21st birthday. I recall Arsenal fielded quite a few coloured players, who were roundly booed by quite a few Hearts supporters. I'm glad times have changed.

SuperPippo Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 My first ever Hearts match. Remember sitting on the crush barrier and getting knocked off it when Walter Kidd scored - if I remember correctly, bit of a screamer in the top corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Maroon Carpet Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Let out a shout in English? Whatever next Ok, what I was trying to explain was the shout was more of a strong English tone that annoyed the fans at the time, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Maroon Carpet Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I wasn't saying he scored ... I meant ... ... he was playing, as I remember. I thought you were answering the question on who the other Arsenal scorer was, and as it was right after the question I assumed it was directed at that. Of course it could well have been Rix.

janie jones Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 No doubt will be slated by some on here but I used to really like Charlie Nicholas in those days (football wise I may add) so I went with a mate to Edinburgh airport to get his autograph before they left for London. My main recollection was how huge most of the team were. IIRC David O'Leary played for them then and Lukic was their keeper and they were both giants.

Yes I do tend to remember how tall a lot of the English teams players' were, no matter who we played in friendlies back then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
