bobskeldon Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Anyone else recognise themselves in this video of autograph hunters as Roald Jensen arrives at Tynecastle in 1965? I am 10 and running towards the camera wearing my navy duffle coat. https://www.nrk.no/vestland/xl/roald-_kniksen_-jensen_-skapte-massehysteri-og-dode-ifort-landslagsdrakten-1.13786475 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avhudtheteeshirt Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 He usually attended reserve games at Tynecastle if no first team games on, on many occasions he sat along from me at the back of the stand. He was always up for nurturing the young players, and would gladly talk about how well certain young players were shaping up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luckydug Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Pity his shot hit the post against Killie that day. It would have changed our history. I thought the world of Roald Jensen a very talented player and as seen in the video an easy going and popular player. That goal at Celtic Park was out of this world.

Francis Albert Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I remember his goal at Parkhead in the 2-O win beating one of the top sides in Europe at the time. Question .. Has there ever been a foreign Hearts player as renowned in his own country as RJ? From reaction to the mention of his name decades later from Norwegians I met I doubt it. Shame the brutality of the Scottish game back then did him no favours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbusby6 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Great bit of film. I was that age and Hearts getting a foreign player was a huge deal. He was a brilliant player. As good as Jimmy Johnston if not better. I was there too when he got that amazing goal at Parkhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the next round (Q final) I was at the replay vs Rangers at Tynecastle. Hearts beat Rangers 1-0, a Donald Ford goal. He scored it at the school end late in the game. I was in the North Wing Stand near the corner, (think I still have the ticket stub!) so the goal was right in front of me. Donald Ford going past (I think) Ronnie McKinnon and scoring is one of the best goals I’ve ever seen Hearts score.

I remember being allowed to stay up, on a school night, waiting for the Scotsport highlights to come on. The highlights duly came on, and 0-0 after 90 minutes. Then old Arthur comes on and says that the film of the extra time is still being driven along the road from Edinburgh to Glasgow, and they won’t be able to show those highlights until much later that night. Just as me and my brother think we are going to be stuck in limbo until the next morning’s paper turns up, Arthur further tells us that there was a goal scored in extra time, and it was Donald Ford who scored it.

bobskeldon Posted March 29, 2020 Author Share Posted March 29, 2020 I was 12 that night and as I was singing leaving the school end, an ‘adult’ (I use the term very loosely) stuck chewing gum on my head meaning quite a severe hair cut!!!!

As I recall Ford scored in the 87th minute of normal time, leaving a few minutes remaining and injury time to suffer. I had a great view from behind the goal. One of Donald's best. Perhaps old Arthur was saying the whole film was delayed en route. Edited March 29, 2020 by Francis Albert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure when extra time was brought in for Scottish Cup replays. But the memory of them not having enough of the match to show the goal is sound. They must have sent their courier along with the film they had to get the show started, then didn’t get the rest through until later.

The game was held up for a good while because fans spilled onto the pitch due to overcrowding so Scotsport would have had to wait for a while to get their film and develop /edit it. I was about 15 at the time and our supporters bus was delayed getting home and I didn't get back till about 12 o'clock. Just in time to see Arthur introduce the goal as my Maw and Da were up waiting for me! My maw was frantic as she'd heard there was crushing at the game and when i didn't get back at the normal time she feared the worst! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbojambo Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I used to cut out pictures from the newspapers and ambush the players and get them to sign them then glue them into a scrap book. What I wouldn't do to find them along with my autograph book but probably in landfill somewhere sadly. As an aside player's signatures were beautifully written back in the day not like the scribbles my Grandson collected recently. I could only make out the ones who wrote their squad number alongside their mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
