queensferryjambo Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 There isn't a modern era player who deserves this more than Gary Locke IMO. His service in multiple roles at the club is much appreciated and his love of the club is second to none. Looking forward to some of the events and definitely the testimonial match as well. Well done Gary Locke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a fan base we don’t usually turn up in huge numbers for testimonials Robbo Mackay and Henry Smiths only attracted approximately 10k each time Alex Macdonalds attracted around 18k but half the attendance was Rangers fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Class of 75 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Well deserved, Gary. He is certainly a PHM and has always bled maroon. Hopefully, if I am back home I can go to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how about JKB getting involved? We could do a sponsored parachute jump or raffle a big telly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary along with Scott Crabbe are the two players that I can recall, who played and celebrated like die hard supporters, was always a joy to witness a goal from either of them. Probably have to include Blackie in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambonian Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Great stuff, he deserves it! Hope he gets a pretty good English or European team for that extra bit of glamour....and even more ticket sales. Love to see some of the various Cup winning legends (and team-mates) make an appearance to mark the occasion. Skacel, Hartley, Colquhoun, Robbo, Mackay, Adam, Rousset, Cameron, Fulton and plenty more. That would be some party and a half! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah because it was before 12 but it would be good to get the boys from 3 cup wins in a match just mix the teams up ? maybe a chance to get Zal’s family over and some of the Lithuanian boys .

Yes, it would be a nice gesture to do a quick something in memory of big Zal as well as the gent that was Salvatori. I feel it would show current players the unbreakable bond that this club has with so many ex-players and what this special club meant/means to them. Come on the testimonial committee, make it happen!

BigAlim Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I reckon 98 vs 12 would be a little unfair tbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Herbertson Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Gary has come over several times to the McCrae's Battalion Remembrance ceremony at Contalmaison representing Heart of Midlothian. It's always a pleasure to see him. He is an impeccable representative for the club, well liked and respected not just among the Heart's fans but the many others who are there to remember our lads. This is great news and I'll definitely be turning up at any testimonial match in his name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
