wibble Posted December 6, 2008 Author Share Posted December 6, 2008 From London Hearts - Pte. Patrick James 'Paddy' Crossan. Twice wounded and gassed at least once. a Robust and popular player who returned to play for several seasons. Earned two testimonials. Later opened a pub in Rose Street Edinburgh. Died suddenly in 1933 in his fortieth year. Embodies the spirit of the club if you ask me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John S Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 A big thanks to Melbourne Jambo (and others) for posting these. I have to say that of all the olde Hearts players (from the 50s) it is John Cumming that I hold in highest regard. I remember him being especially nice to me when I was a wee boy, and his committment to Hearts as player and trainer was immense. I met him after the 1998 cup final and made a point of shaking his hand and telling him how much I admired and respected him. Its good to see a positive thread on Kickback.

janie jones Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Stuart Clarke's Homes of Football site has a great picture looking along the old stand against Zeljenicar (sp) and pic from the early 90's of fans leaving the old McCleod Street end. Its a great wee museum that has loads of great pictures of football grounds pre Hillsborough. Its in Ambleside in the Lake District. Well worth a visit if you over that way.

Debtor Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Don't know too much about Williw Wilson but going by the year could also have been a MaCraes man. Pte. Willie R. Wilson. Returned to playing until 1923 though constantly troubled with a problem shoulder. This suffered with the recoil of the rifle but while it limited his active service, as did trench fever, it probably saved his life. He was the first, but not the last, Hearts player to score three goals at Ibrox in the 4-0 win over the Rangers. He died in 1956, another great year for the Hearts.

John Cumming was always willing to speak to any kid watching. I used to watch him lead the reserves quite often and he got respect from all involved.
