I also thought Jimmy Sandison was a really good player (he just didn't have a chance with the other great defenders we had in those days) but might have been alone in that 1990s: Locke and Millar 2000s: Neilson and Zali 2010s: Suso and Djoum, and maybe Jamie Mac 2020s: Clare (runs and hides) Edited April 19, 2020 by ToqueJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity no-one (especially him) knew what they meant, or were meant to signify. He was OK... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember he was 21 or so and just seemed like a really skilful central defender who was also very strong in the tackle. Always just remember being totally unconcerned when he had to fill in for someone injured, same with George Cowie and Ian Jardine around the same time, who were also both very good mostly squad players. Although Jardine got quite a few starts as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

credit card Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Neil Berry. Foot, legs, body, head all in to win the ball and give it to a skillful player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe Alexander was a big enough improvement on MacDonald to warrant the change. In fact, considering the loyalty Jamie showed the club during not just Administration but the previous seasons where wages weren't being paid on time, to me makes me think we should have done better by him. One club players are a rarity, even more so at this level because one or two good performances can push through a move. We could have had that with MacDonald which would have been special. We have not improved our goalkeeper one bit since moving him on. Outside of Mclaughlin who left at the first opportunity, letting him go just wasn't worth it. But for the points deduction we would have stayed up, and his goalkeeping heroics were a big part of that. Sure, he had weaknesses, but name me one player in modern times we've had that didn't? Agreed, would take him back in a heartbeat now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our first-choice midfield when we played with Clark, Robbo and JC was so solid as a unit, it was hard for him to establish himself. Like a lot of Hearts fans I never totally took to Kenny Black but he did all the unheralded work and gave us some balance on the left. Black had some shot on him but Jardine's was even better.

Ainsley Harriott Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Patrick Kisnorbo. Only when Levein allowed him to move to centre half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
