jimbojambo Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Had a brilliant evening in the Gorgie Suite in the company of some of our greats. Big Gilles was in great form and his response to how he enjoyed his week in Magaluf with Gary Locke was worth the ticket money alone. Craig was really funny and when asked if he still hoped to get cap number 75 said yeah he had hoped to get it this week. He got a bit agitated when speaking of the 2006 cup win and someone booed when he mentioned Pressley and he said a brilliant captain and person who looked out for him as a youngster. Jamie mentioned the pressure of 2012 and either being in one of the most loved or hated Hearts teams of all times. Henry spoke well and confirmed the legendary Hibsied it story attributing his penalty save at Easter Road to reading the programme which featured a photograph of Brian Hamilton taking a penalty the previous week showing where he put the ball. Gordon Marshall junior spoke warmly about his Dad and his love of Hearts. His Dad has dementia but reacts positively to old pictures in particular Willie Bauld and Dave Mackay. Charlotte Parker-Smith came across as intelligent and determined to be the best version of herself paying tribute to Eva who comes from Barcelona and likes to play in an open and entertaining style. Grant Young had Tommy Walker's shirt from the 30s which had the Bukta and Aitken and Niven logos on it. Paul Mitchell did a great job as unlike Scott Wilson he has to have filters and announced next night on 10 May featuring legends including Donald Ford. One sad story to end with was I managed to somehow lose my vouchers for a pie and a pint😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SA96 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Sounds like a good and really informative night. I shared a flat with Charlotte Parker-Smith when we were at uni, lovely person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing…why do folk think players (in this case, one of our greatest ever players) are going to side with them when they boo his pal, whom the majority of Hearts fans still respect for what he did in maroon? 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if you asked him he’d say Pressley is right up there with the best captains he played with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckies1874 Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 Big Gilles. What a legend. From that terrible low moment for him in May 1996 to MoM in May 1998! And boy did he enjoy it! Exceptional guy who loves Hearts. His foreword in ‘Reminiscing with Legends’ is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but in the context of the event booing the mention of him when Gordon is speaking is stupid, childish & disrespectful towards Gordon, Pressley isn’t there & won’t hear it so the person in question was just interrupting a story to have a pop at Gordon’s mate. Did the person in question expect Gordon to respond positively? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know exactly what people think he did wrong and I disagree with them 100%. I couldn't care less if an opposition footballer is totally committed to winning and revelling in that win. That's what it's about. Trying especially hard to beat us is, in its way, a compliment. It's the people who, 17 years on, are still raging about a chest-pump, that need a sense of perspective.

I really think the club could mend a bridge here by getting him involved in some of the 150 year stuff if he's interested. I think its been allowed to fester and grow arms and legs since. He did an interview recently and he's obviously carrying a lot of sadness about the whole collapse in relationship between him and the club. Fact is, had Vlad not been a lunatic, Hartley & Pressley wouldn't have been pushed out of the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
