WorldChampions1902 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Here?s a challenge. Towards the end of this video, I believe a former Hearts player makes a cameo appearance in two successive images. I?d be interested to know if anyone comes up with the name of the person I think it is. There are I believe, some glaring clues so pay attention! My other version of this video contains Queen?s ?It?s A Kind of Magic? which is obviously for personal use only. If you have access to that track then give it a try when viewing the YouTube link as it works really well. Message for Admin :? given the age of the rare images in this video (i.e. 80 to 110 years old), I do not believe there are any copyright issues. Of greater concern perhaps is the backing track. Please note that I have licensing rights to broadcast this and am happy to provide more details if required ? just PM me. I take copyright legislation seriously and have absolutely no desire to compromise the JKB Admin team or indeed the messageboard. This video contains some flash / laser effects. Hopefully that?s all the legal pitfalls covered ? enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldChampions1902 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 What point in the video ?I don't see anything. The group shot (and close-up) towards the end of the clip. The close up shows 3 men in Sunday best one of which is Bobby Walker. I reckon the guy on the right is an ex-Hearts player so who do you think it is?

WorldChampions1902 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 the one on the left in the cloth cap It's the guy on the right I have a hunch about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbos Right Peg Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Should be played at the next 'Hall of Fame' dinner at Prestonfield House. Hearts get it sorted !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorldChampions1902 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Should be played at the next 'Hall of Fame' dinner at Prestonfield House. Hearts get it sorted !! It's a lovely thought RR and I'd love it to happen, I really would. In fact, I'd make the 600 mile round-trip to attend the event. However, there is no guarantee that BW would be up for induction this year, let alone actually be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I guess if he was up for selection, it's unthinkable that he wouldn't be admitted though, given his magnificent contribution to Hearts glorious history.

tinydancer Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Could it be Isaac Begbie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott herbertson Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Purdie without the tache? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldChampions1902 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Purdie without the tache? It's neither Purdie or Begbie. Far too distinguished in comparison to the name I have in mind - so there's a clue. His name is listed on London Hearts though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinydancer Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Markie Bell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorldChampions1902 Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 Markie Bell? Again PJ, too well-established a player for the one I have in mind. When I reveal the answer or if someone comes up with, I'm sure you will say 'how obvious'. There's another subtle clue. This isn't a catch question - honest!

tommythejambo Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Just though I'd add, It's a Kind of Magic does go very well with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
269miles Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I'll give this one a pass. I'm a bit weak on Hearts players from the distant past. PS When you getting the painting put up at Hampden ? I schlepped thru at Xmas and Hearts don't even get a feckin mention in that 'museum'. I had to read about Enid Blyton, The Sheep and The Arabs but saw nothing about Hearts. Get that painting sorted , send that video too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to read about Enid Blyton, The Sheep and The Arabs but saw nothing about Hearts. Get that painting sorted , send that video too. If you look at the facial features of BW and the figure on the right you will see a very striking resemblance. I think that man is Bobby Walker's brother Alex who played for Hearts for a couple of seasons during the period 1899-1902. I do not know who he left Hearts to play for but more interestingly, he was a member of the Royal Scots and sadly died in a Military Hospital in 1916. I can find no mention of Alex Walker in Jack Alexander's excellent book, 'McCrae's Battalion' so presumably he wasn't a member of the 16th Royal Scots? The bottom line though is that here is another member of the 'Hearts Family' who paid the ultimate price during the Great War. I'd be interested to know if anyone has any other information on Alex.
