The fifth one in looks like Willie Wallace. Also looks like Johnny Hamilton standing behind John Cummings. I think you're right on all counts, davy. Tbh, when I first viewed the pic, I assumed Alan Gordon was the guest and all the others were regulars of the supporters/skittles club. I was looking for an older/late relative who may have been present rather than other Hearts players. Before my time, btw (b.1968). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That group came a bit later, the old memory is going but I think Mackenzie, Macspadyen,Baxter, no doubts the one and only Jimmy Brown, no idea, Charlie Cox, Sloan, Conn,Kelly probably before he smashed his shoulder and the goal post, Alex McRae, Jimmy Wardhaugh.

Before my time, Ally, but aware of Danny Paton and his ER hat-trick in the early 60's and Danny Ferguson. That Willie Wallace lad won a League Cup winners medal with The Hearts. Feck knows what happened to him after he left. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is quite the thing. To think that I stood in the background of that picture, years latter, while I watched a pitch invasion by a bunch of over the moon kids after a game where, the goal he had scored, had set up that night to be so special for those that were there. What a game. What a night. Thanks for that and every other contribution you have made to this thread. Wonderful. 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canjim Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I was member of the Churchill branch and I'm in the photo at the back below what was probably a wall heater, the players I recognize are Alan Gordon, Danny Paton, Tommy White, Danny Ferguson, Willie Wallace, Johnny Hamilton, John Cumming. some of the member's faces are familiar but don't ask me their names after all it has been nearly 58 years since the photo was taken. The guy in front of me partly hiding my face his name was Tom Bull and lived beside me in Oxgangs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
