I was priveliged to have been there from the start for Robbo and JC. Robbo was a one in a generation enigma and my hero and Colquhoun was, for at least one season, close to world class. They had some great players around them too and I'm again particularly priveliged that I was around to have seen Craig Levein as he was top, top drawer.

Marvin Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Would love Robbo, Colquhoun, Clark, Crabbe et al to be playing today. What an awesome attacking threat we had. I actually feel privileged to have seen them throughout their career at The Famous. I am one of the fortunate ones to have seen most of JR's goals versus the Vermin. The whole era including the ups and downs was great viewing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gorgie Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Not old enough to have seen them live, my first game was in 98 robbo had moved on. Thanks to Youtube i could still appreciate them.

Having never been one to rise, I've recently found myself replying to some idiots. Must go back to ignoring and engaging only on what I want to discuss!! Anyway, along with Henry, GMac and Levein, the John's were my idols growing up. I was lucky enough my dad worked for Hearts in the 80s so I got to meet my heroes too. Hard to choose my fave - I always said Henry when I was wee I think!! Loved McPherson, Crabbe and others too but the 5 above were my childhood.

Jamhammer Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Along with Colin Cameron JC is my favourite Hearts player in my time as a JT. 83-Now. He was constantly fouled but got on with it. Is still one of the most consistent wingers I've ever seen and weighed in with plenty of goals. I remember him spewing at Ibrox, physically throwing up after a foul and just carrying on. A pleasure to watch. Robbo was decent too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For any of them looking in and wondering what Robbo was like, just imagine Rudi but him being here his entire career! About as close as you’d get.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Loved watching the two of them not to mention big Sandy. JC was one of those wingers who could drop a shoulder and glide passed an opponent making it look easy. I also loved it when he took it on himself to come inside and drive through the middle. You knew how both JC and Robbo had such an understanding and that came from a settled team with more or less the same set up every week. I wish that was the case right now when the teams get changed from game to game for no apparent reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
