heartgarfunkel Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Before my time but have heard many speak highly of Arthur Mann. Didn't realise he died so tragically. A totally avoidable industrial accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK my memory failed me. Usually I remember things from over 50 years ago better than things from 5 minutes ago, Anyway I rate Mann and Oliver as two of the best (if not the best) full backs in my time watching Hearts.

Mine too Franny - I was positive I’d seen Oliver and Mann playing together 🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t disagree with these two! Although I’d add Danny Ferguson, Davie Holt and Callum Paterson to the list!! PS and Aaron Hickey - his performance in the 2019 Cup Final was simply the best I’ve seen from a young near debutant Edited June 27, 2022 by Jambo-Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambos are go! Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 Folk seem to have forgotten Wallace, Naysmith and Tosh MacKinlay. Great left backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N Lincs Jambo Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 I was too young to see Arthur Mann play for us but in the recollections of others about classy left backs who played for us I’m surprised a very classy and far more recent Greek player not get a mention? Takis Fyssas was one hell of a player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't like losing Arthur Mann.Iirc I remember Willie Wallace on the back of the daily record holding up a tim scarf,with the headline Wallace goes to Celtic for £20,000.Really pissed me off. The club went on a downward spiral in the aftermath of losing/throwing away the 1964-65 League title. Hindsight is great, but I think it’s fair to say things behind the scenes at Tynecastle played a significant part in that disaster. The ongoing mismanagement saw us lose disillusioned players like Wallace and the sale of players like Mann that should have been the foundation of a team rebuild.
