Erik Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 True legend. Its sad to think that we'll never see his like again at this club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Tarts 1874 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 I hope the book sells well. It is a pity MacKay never made it as a manager. His goal for Scotland against Bulgaria is one high-light that stands out, simply because he was the first Hearts player to score for Scotland for years and years.

Jam Tarts 1874 Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Gary still never got his crate of whiskey that he was promised from Jack Charlton.

iainmac Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Gary still never got his crate of whiskey that he was promised from Jack Charlton. Oh yes he did but it was from the FAI, not Jack. If you're interested, it was Jamieson's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blairdin Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 One of the best experiences of my life was being goalkeeper behind Gary on Tynecastle in August.

His goal for Scotland against Bulgaria is one high-light that stands out, simply because he was the first Hearts player to score for Scotland for years and years. St. Gary Mackay of Sacred Hearts Down in a pub on Dublin’s quays, I drank my pint with carefree ease. Above the bar, a fuzzy screen Showed football. Not the Boys in Green, But Scotland playing in Sofia. And though the picture wasn’t clear, We knew the Bulgars were on top And soon our dreams would slow, then stop. The qualifiers were nearly o’er, And though we had come to the fore, Bulgaria needed but a point To put our noses out of joint. Nobody thought the Scots could win, Prepared to take it on the chin. And so unconfident were we The people watching numbered three. Chances came and chances went. The ball, it seemed, the whole time spent In Scotland’s half – and thus our hopes Were swaying madly on the ropes. But then, with minutes left but few, The customers (now numbered two – Myself and some lad in a cap Who seemed to be a daycent chap) Sat open-mouthed in disbelief As Scotland, like a brazen thief, Broke once upfield and young Mackay Became the apple of Ireland’s eye By firing left foot low and hard To catch their keeper off his guard. We stared, our minds engulfed in cloud. Was it a goal, or disallowed? A goal! A goal! We yelled and screamed – All hell had broken loose, it seemed. Bulgaria threw everything Into attack. Balls down the wing Came sailing o’er, attackers leapt, But somehow Scots defenders kept Them out. One shot then struck the post! Sweet Lord, it really was the most Nerve-wracking time I’ve ever spent – The pressure did not once relent. And then the final whistle blew And, for the first time, we were through! ? Peter Goulding 26th October 2007 In order for Ireland to get through to their first Championship finals, in this case, Euro 88, three "miracles" needed to happen. Ireland needed to beat Bulgaria at home (we did), Scotland needed to beat Belgium (they did) and then go to Sofia and beat Bulgaria. Such was our lack of faith, that very few people actually bothered watching the match! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
