LarrysRightFoot Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 The clip of Templeton’s goal away to Hibs on another thread got me thinking - what’s the best/your favourite solo goal by a Hearts player? Ones the spring to mind are - Driver v Falkirk Fuller v Motherwell Templeton v Hibs I think I have vague memories of John Colquhoun scoring one v Motherwell in the early 90s? I don’t know how to insert clips so if anyone has any please add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 JC v. Motherwell in 1990. Mesmeric first half from Hearts in heavy rain as we used the surface perfectly. One of the best 45 minutes I've seen us play and John's goal was superb. Even Gerry McNee was purring about our performance and tipped us for the Cup.

Great atmosphere and a great goal. Turned the defender on the edge of the box and curled it in IIRC. Edit. Found it.

Alex MacDonald Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Rab Prentice in a 6-2 home league win against Dumbarton in ‘75, a 3-0 friendly win against Boro or Southampton, and the 4th in a 4-1 win for Scotland U-23’s against Denmark at Tynecastle in ‘76, in all 3 he beat 4 or 5 defenders cutting in from the left in front of the old North stand at the Gorgie Road end.

bairdy Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Posted this on a similar thread a while back. Willie Hamiltons goal against QOS' back when everything was in black & white. (😏) Memory is a little bit vague, but Willie dribbled past 4 or 5 players and slipped the ball past keeper George Farm, Received a standing ovation. What a player ! Any other 'old timers' remember it ? Needless to say, back in the 60's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4marsbars Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Bobby Prentice in an amazing game against Aberdeen, 2-2, all goals scored in a four minute burst. We might as well all have gone home after 7 minutes. Donald Ford against Aberdeen in 1971, ran mostly unchallenged from half way line. Think they probably won that game,not long before the Texaco final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other 'old timers' remember it ? Needless to say, back in the 60's. My memory is he got the ball just outside our own penalty box, beat 5 or 6, then chipped George Farm from around 20 yards or more. The applause was still going on 5 minutes after Queens kicked off again. Special player, Jock Stein said he was the best player he'd ever seen.

JTJ Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 Hearts 2-0 v Partick Thistle 9/11/68 was a game I missed, but my pal at school told me about the two goals - and I remember press reports were very similar so I do believe him. Second half after a boring 0-0 first half, Roald Jensen got the ball at the centre circle and dribbled past about 5 players to score. 10 mins later Willie Hamilton got the ball on the halfway line and dribbled past "everyone" to score. No one could outdo Willie! Maybe there was a bottle of whisky on offer for the best goal in the game.......😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo scored 2 that were both typical Robbo great strikes. Think Crabbe got the 4th. Another beauty. JC goal was outstanding. What a player he was. Shit kicked out of him every week and he just got back up and got on with it. Brilliant player with a superb attitude. Even when he came back he did well.
