A sad day for Jambos back in the day.

 

Your post got me reaching for the Bobby Walker book tonight. He played four times on 28th August in his Hearts career with three wins and one draw. In 1911-12 and 1912-13 (right at the end of his career) he played on that date against Hibs and had two wins, 2-0 in the Dunedin Semi in 1911 and 1-0 in the Dunedin Final in 1912. Surprisingly, given his liking for a goal against them and his stunning derby record, he didn't score! 

 

A true icon of his era and a superb journey helping you to get his fantastic story into print! 👍
