SMJ_1874 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 Henry used to have a few jars and play pool every Sunday afternoon in the Forrester’s rugby club. As a young boy I used to stand and watch him with awe. I’d be watching him on the Saturday at Tynecastle and then here he was standing just a few metres away playing pool. I reckon I’d still stand and watch him with awe these days. One of my favourite goalkeepers of all time as he was of my era. For the record I even admired John Brough before him. Think I must’ve been a frustrated goalkeeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we’d all go out for a beer afterwards. Spoke to him in the Gorgie suite about two years ago. Wouldn’t have recognised him if I’d walked past him on the street as he’s changed so much since his playing days. Now working as a janitor at George Heriots school.

Remnants of Standards Posted October 7, 2021 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Remember thinking Hearts were back on the map if national TV was giving us airtime at the time. As an aside, my life hit a peak around then after Jimmy Greaves (or some ghostwriter) announced me as the 10 quid winner in Shoot magazine for Letter of the Week. Think i was moaning about the amount of live football on TV in the mid-80s and how it would damage the game ultimately. How very prescient of my teenage self.

Remember our support being peeved off Nah, he saved the previous one then went all radge and thought he could hit the winner, iirc, he picked the ball up to hit the next one, surreal. Hit the moon then we got knocked out. The lc is just full of horror stories Tbh. That was about the same time as a 2-4 St Johnstone ( 2 nil up) and a 0-1 Falkirk, Eddie may last minute goal. Horrendous stuff in the lc as per. I was at all them, at least the Dundee game was a cracker. Iirc Dundee had a couple of decent players and weren't bad.
