Chimp Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 3 hours ago, the posh bit said: Beattie. Some massive moments in a Hearts shirt (or without) considering how little time he was here. Never in a million years expected what was about to follow when we signed him. Shame about his injuries but never affected the outcome at the end of the season!

I don't think anyone really thought that season would end up being so magnificent, tbf. We had been on all the front pages for the first half of the season.

martoon Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Not sure if it was deadline day but Neil McCann signing in 1996 was exciting. He apparently had a foot on the plane to France to sign for a club and, like us with Alan Johnston, Dundee would get no fee. We swooped last minute with a £200k offer and Dundee accepted happily. I think we announced Davy Weir and Neil on the same day. Great day. Second only to Robbo's return in December 1988, perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTJ Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Stevie Frail from Dundee. Kept us up that season and a late equaliser at Parkhead was one main reason. Good enough to play for Scotland till his bad injury. At the deadline there was no mention on the late Scottish (midnight) news on the BBC, morning news or newspapers. Nothing till the stop press of the afternoon (next day) Evening News "Hearts sign Stephen Frail". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he was still with Dundee when we beat them in the LC semi around October 96. We had certainly signed him by the end of the year though as he scored twice in the New Year win. Mind you, all of the above is up for debate, jack. Just my memory of it so might not be factual. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we signed Hamilton, was it just him or was there 2 players? I recall one of McCann's first games - if not his debut. A slog in the League Cup v Stenhousemuir where we scraped through. Darren Beckford (remember him?)also made his debut and clinched it for us. I think Terry got our goal in regulation time...

gregzy2k7 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I think Bruno Aguiar is a good shout, he was one of the shed load of signings we made on deadline day In JAN 06. Very good player and pretty much was our only real creative spark or threat at the top end of the pitch when we finished 3rd under Csaba Lazlo a couple of seasons later.
