Was in my element, Jim Cruikshank in goals for us and Pat Jennings in goal for Spurs. The players game out holding footballs, 100 of them, which they kicked into the crowd, no I didn't get one.

Seymour M Hersh Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I remember being at the first game in January 1974. For a lot of the game (and I'd have to check who the opponents were) the chant was 100 years old hello, hello 100 years old to the tune of the Gary Glitter song It's good to be back.

It was January 5th and Hearts raised a flag to commemorate the centenary. The match was a 2-0 victory against Motherwell. Later that year we played Spurs at Tynecastle as part of the centenary celebrations. I wonder what happened to the flag, I'm sure it flew all of 1974. I remember all of this. and I got a centenary silk scarf that disintegrated after a couple of games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He confirmed they were looking to do something in 2024 to commemorate our anniversary, but it depended on them being able to raise the funding to do so. I've no idea of the costs involved in putting these productions on (maybe you can ask a few questions 😉), but hopefully they can get the finances together. Maybe the club can help towards the funding, as I'm sure it would be another great show and a worthwhile addition to whatever else the club has planned to commemorate the event.

Hearts Heritage Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Our current thinking is that the boys from 'The Heart of Midlothian Quadrille Assembly Club' were playing on the Meadows in 1873. However, the game couldn't have been 'Association'. This is because the first game of 'Association' was demonstrated in Edinburgh on Sat 27 Dec 1873. Report from Glasgow Herald. Therefore 1874 was assigned as our formation year in 1924. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
