Samuel Camazzola Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 The whole divisive opinion on him seems to have grown arms and legs over the years. At the time, the incident blew over quickly. At Robbie's testimonial, he was given a rapturous reception - only bettered by the one Rudi received. I recall a poster on here insisting he was kissing the Celtic badge on the day! 😂 He'll always be a legend! 🏆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartyhub Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 (edited) Fantastic captain at a very difficult period. Courageously calling out the owner as to what was happening knowing it would end his time at Hearts. Disappointed he went to celtic but have absolutely no hard feelings towards the guy. Would love him and others of the time to be welcomed back to Tynecastle. Edited February 24 by heartyhub Add pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirt of 98 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Just watching Pressley and I feel we’ve done him dirty. Great Captain gave his all for Hearts.He says he had a character/persona during games where he was the Daddy and he puffed out his chest and wound up other players. I get it man was a winner. He says he was booed at Tynecastle on his return with Celtic from the warm up to every touch of the ball and felt disappointed after all he gave the club. The chest beating was part of his persona. My memory of all this is hazy and all I remember was the chest beating. I get it, football fans can be C U next Tuesdays. It’s like when players get abused for 90 minutes and have one wee reaction people are on them saying how bad they are for reacting. I for one would love to see him invited back to Hearts. Still remember the way he drove the team on. One particular hazy memory was him scoring in Falkirk when we were down to ten men and on the back foot. His passion after the goal still makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck now. He really got Hearts. Get him invited back. He looked sad when he said he’d never been invited back. We can’t treat a cup winning Captain like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HEARTS FOREVER Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Loved Big Elvis , one of the best captains I’ve seen play for the club. Played for the club at a difficult time, and was probably spot on with his stance, but any guy that thinks he won’t get booed in a Celtic jersey coming back to Tynecastle must be off his rocker. The chest thumping didn’t help his case either. Definitely a player who loves the club and should really be welcomed back. I think he knows himself he was wrong what he done.

We can’t treat a cup winning Captain like this. Have said this earlier in the thread, but if the club are looking for an easy in to offer that olive branch, tie it in with the 150th anniversary. He's a cup winning captain as you rightly point out, and he could talk about his time at the club, from the moment he joined the club to becoming captain and winning the cup. I think it would be an excellent media piece to do interviews with as many former captains and managers of their time at the club. Maybe invite a bunch of them to a game and do something in hospitality/ an applause at half time. Think he would also be a great guest to have on HeartsTv if Gary Wales wasn't availible. I think the strong feelings that Pressley causes on this thread come from the fact he was held in such high esteem prior to the chest beating incident, so folk feel betrayed more than anything else. Best contrast I can think of is Rherras when he joined Hibs, most of us treated him like a joke and don't really feel strongly on him either way because he wasn't held in any esteem, just a random foreign player passing through. Anyway, like you I would like to see the bridges mended. Its not doing anyone any favours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
