The ones the players are wearing were sold by a brave street vendor who took the risk of making them up. They were on sale on Gorgie Road the night of the final and the Sunday. I still have mine in a box in the attic and they come up on Ebay quite a bit. I wanted one but ended up with a maroon "Scottish Cup Winners" one bought in Dalry Road on the Sunday morning.

Doc Rob Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Will never forget that day. Wasn’t an ST holder, only managed to get tickets because my brother and his mate had been to a random league game v St J. First time I ever met my wife’s parents - and then my flatmate and I put on our face paint and her dad drove us to the game! The elation and the despair when we were all sure Rangers would get a penalty - and then they didn’t! Sitting on a sunny bank and being congratulated by some of the Rangers fans (I’ll say that for them). Some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir PH Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 It felt as if Willie Young played about 20 minutes injury time. The tension and nerves in that Hearts end was unbelievable, and will never be repeated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anybody timed their recording of the game to check how long Willie played - it seemed like a lifetime! 🥴 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cream and a maroon polo shirt, a T Shirt, a badge, the away strip with the Cup on it, a pennant, a crystal set and a bookmark is all I remember. There was possibly more, but not much more.

Brilliant piece which captured how the team were feeling. It really should have had an X certificate but to be fair they were all high as kites - as we all were! Cup Final '98 One of the best days of my life - it wasn't until I was writing my dad's eulogy that I realised just how much that day had meant to us both.

Sir PH Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I've still got my white Hearts away top that I wore to the game that day. Unfortunately, it doesn't look quite as good on a 53 year old as it did on a 27 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughter and I bought an Hearts scrap book and cut out various articles and photos and put them inside together with all that season's cup match programs and our semi and final match tickets. It is very special! Great memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobboM Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Happy days 🙂 To this day I carry the ticket stub with me in my wallet, along with the other 2 wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
