Bordeaux 03 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 All the best Janny! http://www.futbolas.lt/lt/naujienos/,nid.2125 One of the most famous footballers of recent Lithuanian Edgaras Jankauskas is to consider careers end. Lithuania, veteran striker yet to make a final point, but this time more confident about the withdrawal. According to the player when the day comes when to quit football, he would have nothing to withdraw, and quietly. "Not very fond of noisy events. What is the need?"

I.J Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Superb player for the JT's, up there with Stephane Adam for me in terms of vision and ability. All the best Mr Jankauskas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Tucker Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 His 1st season was amazing. He went on a run of 8 goals in 8 games or something did he not? Couple of goals against Hibs, and important goals against Rangers and Partick. Brilliant player, one of the most gifted we've had. Good luck Edgaras.

Optimus Prime Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 If he wasn't so injury prone, he'd have been great for us. Very intelligent player, his link up play and movement off the ball was excellent. Great touch for a big man as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Chimp Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Great first season, really fantastic. Shocking second season. Injured bending down to pick up wage packet.

Diego10 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 a player of great ability and glass hamstrings. Great first season, lousy after that.

Harry Palmer Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 A very good footballer, with superb technique and scored some superb goals for Heart of Midlothian. The 2-1 game against Murderwell when Craig made an absolutely amazing save at the death; later in the season against same team from about 20+ yards, top corner-sweet. He also contributed in our winning of the cup that year; header against Thistle and embarearsing Zibi in the semi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 tremendous player in 2005/2006. he was a player i liked more than bednar because you could see all the wee tricks and touches of class that marked him out as a player who had played at the highest level. all the best janny for whatever you decide to get up to.... motivation coach or something.

Ben Dover Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Gave very little in the second half of his stay here However his performances in the early part of 05/06 were very good, especially the 1-0 defeat of Rangers .........he gave us a masterclass in hold up / link up play that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Palmer Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Damn! I forgot about the fantastic flick-on for the goal in the 2006 final! He also scored a fantastic goal from about 3yrds after Zibi.... well, you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leginten Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Jankauskas up front with Pinilla - with both of them fit, mentally attuned and motivated - would have been my dream partnership towards the end of that second season.

It never happened. Was the Boxing Day goal against Hibs his only goal that season? Now that would of been a partnership. Two of the most intelligent players i have seen in maroon. But off the park i don't think their personalities could be more contradictory. Pinilla..i don't need to explain him and Janny who's just a quiet guy who doesn't like the limelight.

HoGwash Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 When the ball reached him, it always stuck. One of the main reasons imo why Hartley and Rudi scored about 35 goals between them in his first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheatfield to sheffield Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 He really was the Lithuanian Denis Law - the second best player they have ever had. And their best ever player - their Kenny Dalglish - was Valdas Ivanauakas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigO Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Great player and loved watching him in that first season. But apparently, and from a few sources was the biggest problem in the Hearts dressing room the whole time, intentionally and cynically creating the divide between Lith and other nations. Miko and Ces the only ones to reach hands across the canteen as it were I know VR created alot of this with his antics and coaches, but big Jan was very much either a right hand man or at best a ****.

Shame, top player I dont think Jankauskas was ever going to be one for the banter or that likeable in the dressing room at all. But like for the majority of his career he did his talking on the pitch. Like every single other player in the Hearts team at that time, his motivation levels dipped and so did his performances.

Coco Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I thought that at his best for us he was a wonderful player. Tremendous ability to control the ball, too powerful for defenders and a great strike on him. I remember early on watching him, Bednar and Pospisil warming up - absolutely belting the ball into the goal. Nearly knocked one of our players out, one of the strikes was so powerful.

Hans von Luck Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 The big man slotting it home after Zibby's fumble at Tyne will always bring a smile along with the 3rd goal in the demolition semi at Hampden. It was only after that one you could realy relax and enjoy the day. Thanks big man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved Janny for that. He also always seemed to catch a fan with one of his wayward warm-up shots. I remember at Livi I think he caught about 3 fans. If you were situated behind the goals you were never safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to agree. loads of ability, strength and experience but rarely tried a leg for hearts. Met him at reception at chambers after cup win . Both ignorant and arrogant would describe my impressions.

Pity , as he was undoubtably a classy performer when he could be arsed. You better believe he was. I met him at a corporate day in the Gorgie Suite after he was the sponsors MOTM or something and you could see he would've rather been anywhere else on the planet bar having to mingle with us knobs. Scott Wilson even cut an interview with him short basically because of his one word answers and nodding and looking away. My favourite memory of Janny is during the warm up at Tannadice early in Burley's reign when Bednar absolutely tw*tted him one with a volley that hit him square in the dish. **** you Janny.
