hearts @ heart Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Well I wondered if he would settle in to being a Jambo. Remember him retrieving a ball at Herriot Watt.

letsalldothebeattie Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Absolutely gutted when I saw the news and still can’t really believe it now. Was never a fan of his at the start didn’t see him lasting at the club but by god did he work his socks off and improved and won me round. Excellent player for us gave absolutely everything and led us brilliantly especially on that day in May 2012. A legend for that day alone. Seems really strange to be writing a tribute to a player from a team that won the cup just 8 years ago. No age to go at 36. Thank you for the service, thank you for being a part of this glorious club and thank you for being a part of that day in May 2012. Rest Easy Zal 😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Devastating news, just still cant believe it. As others have said, my thoughts are with his family. The fact he went from the lows when he came, faced a hostile fan base with how he played early on then won them over to become so loved demonstrates what an incredible person he was. His personalty was fantastic and loved his insane nature (best shown by that picture of him in the childs car.) But also remember his kind side, I am pretty sure a poster on here had a young child who the child and Zal got on so well and there was some beautiful pictures of Zal and the child being best mates. I do hope the club do something lasting for him as he deserves it, and I do like the idea that fans raise money for his family. Apart from Rudi, the foreign player who most got Hearts during the Romanov period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
