Dsjambo Posted November 8, 2023 Share Posted November 8, 2023 11 hours ago, Cairneyhill Jambo said: Donald Ford should also be worth a shout. Fantastic player and helped save Hearts in the 80s. Great shout, Donald was our top scorer for years, sometimes with less than 10 goals but always gave everything for the jersey. He hit 30 goals in ‘74 which got him in the World Cup squad although he never played. If Willie Ormond had put him on against Zaire in the first game he might have got the goals Scotland needed to get through the group. A true Hearts legend.

ScottieMac17 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 This isn't about statues but I do miss the legends banners that we used to have in the stadium. I'd love to see something like that back again, covering the maroon painted wooden panels in the corners or maybe even on the lampposts around the plaza, similar to what Chelsea do or used to do.

Fozzie on the fence for me prob goes down as one of the most iconic images in a Hearts jersey, maybe alongside Rudi standing on the table with the cup at Hampden, be cool to see either of the immortalized. Perhaps in big murals in our new stand, one day . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upgotheheads Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 On 08/11/2023 at 14:49, avhudtheteeshirt said: John Cummings for me, even when he hung up his boots and was our trainer, coming on to attend to an injured player, he was probably the fastest on the park running on with a small bag with the magic sponge and water! Today its a physio and a holdall big enough for a weeks holiday??? An impossible task, so if we can't have them all then it maybe has to be the terrible trio because it would include Willie Bauld, If it's a compromise and symbolic then John Cummings, or Dave Mackay, but then that would leave out Robbo, though it has to be someone who's dead of course. Nope, can't make my mind up... Dave Mackay, eh John Cumming, naw, maybe just Willie Bauld, and leave a space for Robbo beside him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bender Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Has to be Dave Mackay. He was one of us, he lived the dream.

Only Rudi Skacel gets close to him. Plenty other great names on your list though 👍 I would say Craig Gordon surpasses him but GK less glamorous. Modern day has to be Robbo though.

scott herbertson Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 On a more serious note its hard to choose. One point i would make is that it is best to never make statues of living people, as their reputation is mnot finished forming yet. In terms of fame as a player when playing for Hearts it would be Bobby Walker I think Contribution to the club then maybe Tommy Walker I agree that John Cumming (with headband and sponge!) is an iconic figure who everyone (including dave mackay) respected and loved. He would be my choice . Mackay himself would also be smeone who the broader public and football fans visiting would recognise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
