jambos are go! Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Malcolm Robertson was a talented but somewhat wayward winger we signed from Ayr in the 1970s . His son played for Rangers and was an outstanding Schoolboy. RIP if its true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shrink Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Found this morning, suspected heart attack i understand. That's a real shame. Somewhat cruelly christened Malky the Alky he actually turned out for the Hibs a few times towards the end of his career I believe. As already said, "wayward" but by all accounts a decent bloke. Far too young to have left us. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastender Posted August 18, 2010 Share Posted August 18, 2010 Sadly this is correct ... I will always remember Malky Robertson for supplying the cross for Frank Liddell to score against Airdrie when we won the first division championship in 1980. I have also had the pleasure of meeting him on a few occasions over the past few years and he was a really nice bloke. Thoughts with his family, RIP Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were his best years with Ayr United before he came to us, or was it somewhere else? I think Malky was at Raith before Ayr - I was very young when Malky played for us, but I think you're right to say that he was like Rab Prentice, or maybe even McQuade - a typical winger, in other words - not that consistent, but quite exciting. I do remember Malky's corner for Liddell's header against Airdrie in the last game of '79/80, but I also remember a righteous 4-2 win against a pretty good Ayr Utd team at Tynecastle earlier that season - Malky scored at least one, and pretty much ran riot in that game. (Gibson and O'Connor also scored! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorgie_rebel Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Sad news. One of my favourite players back then. Remember him getting kicked up in the air all afternoon in a game against Morton at Cappilow by their big centre half. Further on in the game, this guy then gets himself caught in possesion and knocks the ball out wide and goes to chase after it.... Wee Malky must have covered 30 yards in about one and a half seconds....Took the boy, the ball and about 6yards of grass and mud all crashing into the wall at the bottom of the cowshed. Don't mess with the 'tashe. Thoughts are with family and friends. Thank you for the memories Malky. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cousinsofnoone Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Seem to remember him playing particularly well at Kirkcaldy in the Cup, the day after Bannon had been sold to Chelsea and LP covers were thrown on the park. The win calmed the support a bit. The defeat to Ayr in 1977 was unforgiveable, though, and had long term consequences. Not a bad player, hadn't realised I'd seen him play for Penicuik at Hampden.

Yo Yo the Parrot Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Met Malky a few weeks back and over a few pints he told some hilarious stories about his time at Hearts and when he played in Toronto with the likes of Rab Prentice, Drew Busby and George Best.

Flogel98 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 He was a drinking buddy of my father-in-laws in the White Horse. Lovely bloke. I grew up watching the likes of him back in the day when football was a game for the working man - not the prawn sandwich mob we have to put up with these days. Hopefully, the club will note this. A half decent player in unfortunately not the best Hearts side.. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

japanjambo Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Very sad news. Malky was a tricky wee winger. Had that kind of pitter patter short stride. He was superb on his day. I also remember the cup tie at Raith. The ground was hard as a brick. Malky slotted a double in that day. He just kinda skated over the grass! RIP Malky.

Shaggy2 Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 One of my first real Hearts heros when I was a kid. RIP Malky. My thoughts exactly. For those struggling to remember him, look out your Back From The Brink video. Malky scored the Juanjo type curler against Rangers (I think) and ran away with his arms out wide and nodding like he did that all the time!!!

Meadows Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 Have spent a lot of time with Malcolm lately. As others have said,he was a great guy,always friendly and had time for everyone.could tell a cracking story and enjoyed a pint or two! He was living down the High St,and was always a southsider.Born in Blackfriars St he never really moved far from his roots.Even after sampling Canada et al,Edinburgh was HIS city. Was very proud of his 3 sons (Malcolm,Sandy & Billy),altougth he attributed his greying hair to them,and was also extremely proud to be a grandfather doing the babysitting duties! I was with him on friday,and actually drove him home as he was feeling unwell.We presumed it was a bug !! I was due to meet with him this week...I honestly can't believe this news. Rest in Peace Malcolm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

casper Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 I remember making my way to an East of Scotland Shield game and saw Malky bouncing off the shop windows in easter road as he walked towards the ground.

7628mm Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 It is nice to read from people that knew him and he was obviously well liked as a man. I remember him from his playing days, sort of, I was usually a bit out of my face. Therefore the most endearing memory I have of him is his moustache. RIP Malky HMFC will I am sure have a minutes silence/applause for him at the next home game and quite rightly so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eggo Posted August 19, 2010 Share Posted August 19, 2010 The cup game on the ice at Kirkcaldy sticks out in my memory.Outstanding performance on the day,the only player on the pitch that mastered the conditions.
