Guest juvehearts Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 im sure Craigmillar Hearts & Portobello Hearts & MHSC would have heard of him, along with people at the BMC Club, Wheatshief & Station Tavern, Luckies, Stratties,robbo's & tynecastle Arms & anyone in Wheatfield Section B. He sat row 6, seat 28 for the llast 6 seasons. Well He was my Uncle John & it is with deep regret that i announce his sad passing on Wednesday night at 23:20. He had a long hard fought battle with the big C & for the last 2 weeks he was in the Marie Curie Centre at Fairmilehead where he lost his battle with it. Just to spread the word that this great man has left this cruel world & moved onto pastures new. His funeral is on Friday 18th at 09:30 at the Sacred Heart Church at Lauriston. All is Welecome.

Guest juvehearts Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Here is his obituary as in tonights copy of the evening news. http://announce.jpress.co.uk/833935 McCUTCHEON John (Stenhouse/ Whitson and formerly of Niddrie) Peacefully, after a long illness courageously borne, at the Marie Curie Hospice, on July 9, 2008, John, beloved husband of Edith, a much loved step-father, papa, brother, uncle and great-uncle of the family and friend to many. Service at Saughton Cemetery, on Friday, July 18, at 10.45 am, to which all family and friends are invited. For all who were going to the service at sacred heart, this has been canclled because of the price of a full mass that he wanted ?4,060.23 Sadly john was brought up as a catholic but thankfuly never thought too much of it as his grandad wasn't. His church was tynecastle where he went religiously every week, even to see the reserves! Hope to see you all on friday. Ian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bomber Harris Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Can't believe it !!! Known the big guy for years and simply didn't see it coming, only read the obituary today (old news) otherwise i would have missed the service. Yet again another "Gorgie face" taken away from us, life is an utter bitch with this Big C. When i was a kid i always sang the "H-I-B-E-R-N-I-A-N The Muppet Men Tra La La La....." ditty, then i heard a story it was the big McCutch who brought it to the terraces, Fact or fiction i don't care i'm awarding the honors to him. Will miss his welcoming smile and love for the Heart Of Midlothian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tams bird Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Known John since the Craigmillar Hearts days of the late 70's. One game we were at Celtic park and for some reason were parked at the Celtic end... John was having a wee against the bus after the game, a Celtic supporter came along and pushed John, he had to go home with his trouser leg soaked in wee.... RIP JOHN..

Guest juvehearts Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 One of his best friends from niddrie has asked me to put this on kickback on behalf of him, you may know him, steven boswell. their was a time they were fighting with hibs casuals in 1987 outside the centre spot (gary mackay's pub) he was holding a bag of his (johns), it was a brand new pair of trousers he threw them at the hibs casuals & one of the deluded barstewards picked up the bag & ran off with them lol john was not best pleased & set about him lol. another time with him (recent) me, steven, leah (my cousin) & john were all out drinking after a game at tynecastle, after we won the cup in 06. he leaned over the bar on luckies and stole the pic of elvis with the cup. then all steaming proceeded to cross saughton park & get to his house. he couldnt find his keys, but that didnt matter as his front was very fragile to say the least. because his good friend steven was so drunk i had to carry his sorry ass from the park to the front door & enough was enough. we then picked him up (still sleeping) and rammed his head thru the front door. Throwing him onto the hallway. you know all he had to say was in a drunken stae was this'' youre all a bunch of cook suckers!) makes me laugh to this day!

Tams bird Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I remember another time with John. We were in Aberdeen when the supporters buses used to say till midnight (thoses were the days). John was wearing a Hearts tshirt Paris St Germain or something. Realised he could wear it to go in to town at night. Went in to a pub, came out wearing a shirt he had swapped with some old man...Problem solved.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain started just as service did , John has a nice spot under a tree.. I thought it was weird that it only started really raining when we started to lower the coffin into the ground & then it went away again when it was finished. maybe it was johns way of saying ''soak ya bass'' lol. really goos service & in johns name i ate all the egg mayo sandwiches back at the BMC The minister (mr henderson) said 'gorgie' wrong too.

Doctor FinnBarr Posted July 19, 2008 Share Posted July 19, 2008 I'm taking this back to the top again just in the memory of McCutch, the last time I can remember speaking to him was at Hampden in 86, just rumped by the Cod Heids, and he simply said, that'll be another Sunday I'll not be buying the papers! I'm sure theres a whack more stories to be told about him so fire in folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
