Do you remember your 1st Derby at Easter Rd

The best ever TV view of the Dunbar End was seconds after John Robertson scored in the 'Wayne Foster' game in 1994.

 

The Hearts fans (myself included) are going ****ing balistic.

4th November 1978, a 2-1 win at ER. Dennis McQuade and Derek O'Connor.

 

8 years old, Mayfield Hearts bus, almost missed the bus as my mum was still knitting our new scarves!

 

I remember my old man making sure me and my 9 yo brother were safely on the bus back home in the custody of someone (who I am sure was very responsible!) while he stayed up town to celebrate in the usual way.

 

Great stuff.

 

Same for me.

 

The day Derek O'Connor became my hero.

04/05, Hartley's 1st goal against the vermin in a 1-1 draw.

 

He gave several lucky folk in the front row a high-5 before getting booked for getting it right up the East Stand IIRC!

My first derby at Easter Road was in,er, 1962. 4-0 win (Paton 3, Cumming). After the game I still remember looking back down Easter Road and seeing thousands of Hearts fans indulging in the new chant of the time ('Jam Tarts').:)

 

Snap!

Mine as well.

Iwas 8 year old at the time, and my old man got a bollocking later on that night from my old dear for taking to a game as big as that. She always said - there'll be trouble at the game.

I was not allowed to go to the game for a few years after that.

I remember standing somewhere on the double terracing on the East side.

Superb introduction to Easter Road mind you, skelping them 4-0.

Hibs 3-0 Hearts

1 January 1976

One for Smith and two for Duncan all before the half-hour mark.

Fan got carried out with a dart in his heid.

Ahhh, the good old days.

 

My first game was not long after that on 30th October 76. The game ended 1-1, Bobby Prentice scoring for Hearts.

 

My first memory of violence at a football game, unfortunately for me. :o

not sure what year it was but think it was a memorial game for Tom Hart or some Hibs man. Think we won 1-0 don't remember much apart from the trouble and being banned by my dad for going to game without telling him, my brother shopped me being a disgruntled Hibbie

Discussion I had earlier - I've been at Tynie since 1986.

 

I *think* in my Jambo lifetime, they've beaten us 12 times.

 

It took until 1994 for them to end 22 in a row, so...........
