Therapist Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Drew Busby...and I dinnt care if ye dinny agree! I agree. Did I tell you about the time Lord Busby got sent off for breaking Arthur "Offside" Duncan's shinpad in a match at the Metha Dome? Great stuff. Sad thing is some deluded fools seem to think it was Bobby Smith. Sake does terrible things to the memory..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a Game Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Strange how a very limited player such as Busby has attained such legendary status, yet players like Willie Gibson and Derek O'Connor, both of whom were better players IMO with roughly similar goalscoring records to Busby, barely get a mention. Spose its more to do with the way he played the game rather than what his rather average contribution was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spose its more to do with the way he played the game rather than what his rather average contribution was. Willie Gibson, better than Busby, I think not! True he scored plenty but he had an uncanny knack of being in the right place for the ball to deflect off him. O'Connor was a good player but we'ed have seen better from him if he'd ever went full time! Busby wouldv'e ran over broken glass in his bare feet to get the ball in the net! Just my opinion.

inspector Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Davie Clunie, Jimmy Cant (what did happen to him?) and Peter Oliver. I can remember singing the 'We've got Jimmy Cruikshank, number 1 etc and including those 3 as 2,4 and 3 in a pub in Munich before the 2nd leg of the Bayern game. Great night but so unlucky.

In Australia if memory serves me correct inspector. As for my hero I am another Cruicky man. Would blub like a woman if he ever came back to Tynecastle and got the ovation he deserves.

Morry Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I was told by my dad that Rangers complained to FIFA after this and because of this incident it is now illegal to sit on the ball!

Deevers Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hearts hero? In amongst the many that deserve that accolade there is only really one man who stands out - John Cumming a man who gave his entire footballing career to Hearts. A man who would have run through a brick wall for the cause - a true hearts hero and a gentleman to boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can somebody confirm as my dads not always 100% correct in his facts! your dad is right but it seems it's ok if a hun stands on the ball and pretends to look for a team mate in a cup final years after that Reminds me of the Willie Carr / Ernie Hunt Coventry City free kick classic but susequently banned.

Craig R Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Special mention to the most hero-like performance I've witnessed from a Hearts player: Neil McCann tearing the huns from erse to elbow in the league cup final.

Spose its more to do with the way he played the game rather than what his rather average contribution was. I never said he was the best player on the planet. He always gave 100% when he pulled that maroon jersey over his head, never shirked a tackle, and well, he just got stuck in! We could do with a few Busby's at Hearts these days IMO. Oh yes and...the dear man is a gentleman *off* the pitch. Oh yes and, I still need to see the official match report on the *Bobby Smith* incident at Easter Road, Therapist!

Johanes de Silentio Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Sandy Jardine is the BEST player I ever saw in a Hearts jersey - an absolute JOY to watch. But Drew Busby is a true LEGEND - there can never be too many threads about Drew Busby IMO - I'll bet that, for as long as there's a Heart of Midlothian, fans will sing his name - "His name is Drew Busby..."

Paisley Jambo Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Thought long and hard about this one. Willie Gibson was my first hero and was gutted when he left for Partick Thistle. Derek O'Connor took over the mantle for a while until the one and only Robbo appeared. Try as I might I couldn't think of a greater hero than him. Even called my dog Robbo after him. RIP Although the squad from the 1985-86 season will always have a special place in my memory for the unexpected and incredible journey they gave us.
