been here before Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Just about one of the first Hearts players I can remember but too young to have seen him play. Iconic player whose legendary status is borne out by the fact we still sing his name 45 years after he left the club Didnt he score the last ever goal for Third Lanark?

HeartsandonlyHearts Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Nooo!! 😕 I did not want to open this thread. As a kid, him, Anderson, cruickie and Ford were my first football heroes. I remember one of his first goals scored for Hearts and me keeping an eye on Donald to see how he reacted to the goal. They celebrated like old friends. I was so excited. This news is so sad.

John Findlay Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Jim Cruikshank, gone Bobby Prentice, gone, and now Drew Busby. My childhood heroes going one by one. Only the great Donald Ford of my heroes left. 1974. Hearts have beaten Morton 3-1 at Tynecastle. Me and my best pal Mikey Devlin are in Brattasani's at Haymarket waiting to get mince pie suppers, who do we see sitting in one of the booths but, Drew. We can't believe it and go over to chat with him. I think Drew is loaded as he is having steak and chips. We talk about the game and the cracking goal that Ralph Callachan had scored, think we chatted for between 10-15 minutes, Drew very patient with us. I was only eleven at the time. It was the first time I had ever had a proper conversation with a professional footballer and a hero too, admittedly not my favourite hero, that was shared between Jim Cruikshank and Donald Ford, but a hero nonetheless. Drew was indeed a gentleman. RIP Drew Busby, many thanks for the great memories from the great goals you scored, and that home game against Lokomotiv Leipzeig. My condolences to your family and friends, and my fellow Hearts supporters who saw you play for this fantastic football club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMJ_1874 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Aw no way. Absolutely loved the Buzzbomb. Met him in the Gorgie suite pre covid and was still in awe of him after all these years. I love the picture of him in the 78 strip, one of my all time favourites. Was proud to see him actually play in the flesh. Such a sad day for all jambos when one of your earliest heroes has passed on. RIP a true Jambo legend Mr Busby.

The Apprentice Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Too young to have seen Drew play, but my Dad raves about him. Met him in hospitality a couple of seasons ago and my Dad was a nervous wreck, completely starstruck and spoke to Drew like a young boy meeting his hero. He was such a gentleman and happily spoke about his playing days. RIP Drew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maroonlegions Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Sad new, as i kid going to home and away games in the 1970s i always looked for his name on the team sheet. RIP Drew, from a 1970s Hearts kid , you did this club proud. The Drew Busby Stand sounds good. Club should name something after him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
