merrymac Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Apologies if this has been posted before , but thought worth it again to cheer us in this difficult time. It has certainly thoroughly brightened my day. Seriously what a finisher !! We all know about his famous left peg, but his ability to be in the right position in the box and pick up scraps was phenomenal. Watching all these goals at once let you see why he was an absolute legend with us Hearts fans. Enjoy !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Findlay Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Am I correct in saying that in his first season with us. All the goals he scored at Tynecastle were at the school end, that's the Roseburn Stand end for younger viewers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We always seemed to shoot that way in the 1st half, then took the foot off the gas 2nd half with the game already won. I think we may have gone the whole league season without conceding a goal at the Gorgie end? Or first half goal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) 48 goals in 109 games is a truly extraordinary return for a left sided midfielder that wasn't playing for a top team. Skacel 0.44 goals per game for Hearts Gazza 0.38 goals per game for Rangers Laudrup 0.29 goals per game for Rangers Enough said.

His first goal at the Gorgie End came at the end of the 07-08 season. During Robbie Nelson's testimonial. His first competitive goal was in a 3-0 vs St Mirren I think.

stirlo Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 I honestly can't recall seeing a player whose ratio of shots from outside the box to shots on target was so high. The blend of power and accuracy in that left foot was something else. Brilliant football player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In saying that, he only needed 45 mins to do the damage, I think that @Bruno was actually making a pretty fair comparison with regard to players such as Gascoigne and Laudrup.

Aaron78 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Beautiful stuff. Made me really miss that guy though! One of the best strikers of the ball with their left peg I've ever seen. The fact he loved a goal against hibs and St Mirren only made him more of a legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locky Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Never apologise OP. I will never get bored of watching a montage of Rudi's goals. For the younger fans who never got to really see Robbo, Rudi is our hero of our time. And for those who got to see a prime Robbo, and Rudi? All I can say is, you bunch of jammy *****.

TWF Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Heard from a now sadly departed fellow Jambo, Skacel was not well known for his love of "physical training". Spent most days shooting and practicing dead ball situations. Sounds like RS was in that breed of player such as Jim Baxter, Wullie Hamilton, Jimmy Johnstone to name but a few!!

micole Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 You know one of the best games I saw Rudi play was the 4 nil semi against the Hubs, he had to move to left back as Goncalves ( spelling) was stretched off. He worked his socks off that day very un Rudi like....😁😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyesandears Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 The fact his GOALS clips highlights takes over 30 minutes to watch says it all.
