Test your Hearts knowledge here. 50 multiple choice questions, I got 31. There's a Hibs one that was up first and I done yesterday to pass the time. Got 25 which I'm ashamed that I didn't score much lower than my score on the Hearts one, but if you compare the 2, I honestly think the Hibs one was much easier.

 

So many questions on the Hearts one, I narrowed down to 2 potential answers, then after much deliberating, picked the wrong one.

31. You must get over 25/50 correct to be considered a PHM.

I got 20 :vrface:  Some of them were just too obscure.

I did exactly this on about half of the ones I got wrong.

The Verminator

21 - some guesses tho and if Hibs was an option for an answer, I always clicked it when possibly should have known better!

Hate to be a pedant (and look away/spoiler alert for anyone who's not done it) but think the question on how many times we've been relegated needs an edit? I know it gets complicated because of this season but the correct answer - to my eyes - isn't there.

The stefano salvatori question is wrong.

 

They have answer as bologna (incorrect)

 

Its actually Milan

 

Was raging at that

I said 5 and got it right? 4 times in the 'Back from the brink' era, and 2014?

 

EDIT: Just checked and it appears you're right, we were only relegated 3 times in that era. The question says before this season too, so the answer should be 4.

I guessed Parma, I thought he had played for Bologna too but he hasn't. He defo played for Milan though, was there when they won the European Cup.

The gordon smith, gary glen answer also incorrect!!

 

Got 21, shouldve been 23 correct tho

What one was that again? Only question I remember with Gordon Smith was about who scored the first goal of the 2012 cup run. That was defo Smith though, scored the winner against Auchinleck. I think we'd punted Glen by that point.

 Bobby Wallker is not the most capped Hearts player.

Suspect it was most caps as a hearts player?

Even with that, Steven Pressley with 32 caps beats Bobby with 29.

 

Tommy Walker also deserves a mention of course. As our Hall of Fame page says: "But for the Second World War, Tommy would certainly have been Hearts most capped player." (https://www.heartsfc.co.uk/more/club/hall-of-fame).

I never knew SP won that many playing for us. Kudos!

If Wartime Internationals counted Tommy would have won 35 caps (and broken the Scottish Record) including 16 vs England.

I guessed Tommy Walker. Thought it was one of the Walker's. Pressley may well have beat that, but I remember reading in older Hearts history books I had when I was younger that it was one of the Walker's.

 

I thought the same about Tommy Walker being denied more caps due to the war, but by the same logic, he probably was also denied more of a career elsewhere due to the war. He ended up going to Chelsea post-war at the age of 31, but without the war, he probably would've left Hearts much sooner.

Willie Collum was a given.  If not Hibs then Motherwell just by length of time in same league.  It helps being an old codger.  Thankfully not too many questions after 2005.

Hearts had already turned down a 'World Record' transfer fee offer from Arsenal for Tommy though that might have been because the offer wasn't big enough.

Based on it emerging that most of the answers given on the quiz itself were wrong, I'm raising my abysmal total of 14 to 45.
