Nice touch by Hearts to play this at Tynecastle just after he died a couple of years ago.

His mum and brother make noises about Hibs but he's always distance himself from them and talks about Arsenal when interviewed. Nah - Andy & Jamie are both Hobos. Their grandad played for them in the 50s. Andy has offered his services to their academy players to help with sports psychology. Porto allegedly "benefitted" from it. Probably best for Andy's own psychology not to mention them though !! 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
