Dsjambo Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Jim Cruickshank Donald Ford these two carried us for years and 0-7 to the wee team would never have happened if Cruickshank had played on New Year’s Day 1973. Brora Rangers result was shocking this season but the older guys will remember the hell that was living through the 0-7 at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GinRummy Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Given the exclusions it would have to be Cameron. I did like McCann on his day though and Levein was the best defender I’ve seen at the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Shark Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 10 hours ago, No Idle Talk said: It's really sad that Craig Levein has become a "divisive figure". He was such a good player for Hearts. I wish he had never been Hearts manager and we could all just remember him as the classy centre back he was. Playing along side Sandy Jardine certainly helped him, but I loved watching Levein, absolute class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobNox Posted May 18, 2021 Share Posted May 18, 2021 Dave McKay. OK, hands up, he was well before my time, but so many people I know who were Hearts fans during his era tell me he was the best. So, restricting it to players I actually witnessed playing, I try to strike a balance between ability, longevity and contribution to us actually winning a trophy. Ford and Cruickie were my original idols, both long serving players, but we won nowt and were in decline as a club. The four that the OP ruled out would probably be my top four. I'm left with Hartley or Cameron, both trophy winners with us and very influential players. I can't sit on the fence so have to go with Hartley. Anyone who scores a hat-trick in a cup semi-final against the wee team has to be right up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
professorfate Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 my favourite player was always Davie Weir a great reader of the game he lacked pace but he made up for it with his game management.

Who's yer favourite Hearts player outside of those obvious answers? Robbo is my all time fave but I want to see some different answers. Sorry if I haven't worded this too well. Mine's would be Henry Smith. He made some brutal mistakes in big matches but we'd never have made it to the big matches without some great saves fae Henry. I think that gets forgotten. Plus he was always good for a wave. 😁 Neil Pointon cause Dani Behr!!! Alex Young personal reasons Tommy Walker personal reasons Ones Iv seen play is tough , so many cult heroes. Cameron Baggio Levein Mackay Hartley When your first year seeing us at Tynie was 86 its inevitable itll be Robbo or JC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTJ Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Bobby Walker is the only Hearts player to be the World's best so that closes one argument. Tommy Walker and Dave Mackay can be included in the same argument, and I saw Dave on TV with Spurs and Derby at least. I grew up with Cruickshank, Anderson and Ford as my heroes BUT the best I have ever seen playing for Hearts were Willie Hamilton and Knicksen. As much as I've enjoyed Robbo, Levein, Rudi and others, no one comes close to Willie Hamilton at his best. Spindly legs and a beer belly could not stop him embarrassing so many opponents. Sad his career was so short Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Dave Mackay as a tv pundit for a Derby County v Spurs game (many years ago when Derby were in the Premiership!). The anchor said, “So, Dave, Derby v Spurs. Which is your team today?” Mr Mackay just leaned towards the anchor and said, “I’m a Hearts fan, son.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
