been here before Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Got this book for Fathers Day. Only the first few chapters in but Im really enjoying it so far. Just sticking it out there as it seems to have fallen off the radar a bit in comparison to coverage on here for the much better than I expected 51 Shirts and the Bobby Walker book. By the same author of the ecxellent Reminiscing with Legends, Anthony Brown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the same author of the ecxellent Reminiscing with Legends, Anthony Brown. Sounds like another I need to add to my collection. I got the 51 shirts as a birthday present and also bought the Beware of Pickpockets book. Still to get Robbo's autobiography and the Bobby Walker book. Might need to allocate another bookshelf to accommodate all the Hearts books I now own. The We Only Won 5-1 comic book is a particular favourite, for obvious reasons, albeit it's not a serious work, just an excuse to remember that day and have a good laugh at the expense of the wee team. Two Miles to Tynecastle by Andrew-Henry Bowie is an excellent book. He used to post on here as Buffalo Bill, but unfortunately seems to have disappeared from the forum. Steve Weddell's A Tale of Two Seasons is also a great read, but I might be biased because I got an acknowledgement for coming up with the title after he came on here looking for suggestions.

Fort Vallance Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I went to the book launch in Musselburgh in May. Well attended and a really good night out. Some of the former players had a few good stories, most of which are in the book. Highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maple Leaf Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I got the book a few days ago from a Jambo friend visiting from Edinburgh. I haven't started it yet, but it will make pleasant summer reading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know what you think when you’re finished 👍 Nae bother. One thing though on p80 in the Hearts Are Rampant chapter: "...blood doesnt show on a maroon jersey. Those were the words uttered by club legend John Cumming at the end of the 1956 Scottish Cup Final victory..." Cumming never did say that. Blood doesnt show on a maroon jersey was written about Cumming's injury by Albert Mackie in his book 'The Hearts'. For some reason over the years that phrase morphed into something other than it was originally. Similarly to Ferguson scoring from a free kick v Bayern that was annoyingly perpetuated in the 51 Shirts book.

Referee was a Jambo. Never a penalty. Kujabi's first booking was a joke. Didn't realise how lucky we were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye only about 10ft... Ferguson himself has mentioned how McKinlays role in that goal has been over looked. Most noteably the fact that before taking the free kick he rolled the ball to a more central position, taking the free kick quickly, not giving the ref a chance to correct it and thus placing Ferguson in a far better position to strike the ball than he would otherwise have been. But for some reason a myth has built up Ferguson scored from a free kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
