Kiwidoug Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Much as I hate to ever give them credit, Hibs and Celtic both did Jim Cruickshank proud. Following 0-0 draws against both at Tynecastle, their players lined up at the end and applauded him from the field. I have never seen that before or since and it sums up what a fantastic player he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwidoug Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 On the other hand, when Dundee beat us 7-1 at Tynecastle, he had a shocker. Nice to know he was human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eckauskas Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 It wasn't at Tynecastle, but Niemis save against Celtic at Parkhead was easily the best I've ever seen. Truly world class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Sailor Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I found out tonight that Henry's doing a wee bit of coaching of the club my boy plays with and I wanted to show them this video, but alas it's gone I don't suppose any of you amazing chaps can find it, or have it stored away and could upload it...

jack D and coke Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 First one in the compilation No idea who made that compilation but I can think of about half a dozen off the top of my head better than almost all of those saves. The number one is a topper but its almost the kind of save I think of when I think of Craig he was so capable of those. Those Sunderland welts never knew what they had when he was there. Scotland has lost a great goalkeeper too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Tolbooth Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Best save I've seen is Gordon's save against Motherwell in injury time to cling onto a 2-1 win, outstanding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacDonald Jardine Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Has anyone got a link to: Dundee Utd 0 Hearts 3 - 1986, when we thought we'd won the league - Henry made an outstanding save that day too. Hearts 0 Hibs 0 - last season - The Balogh's save onto the post. He did. Seemed to change direction in mid air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Rob Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Slightly off topic, but I'm still holding on to the hope that we might see Craig Gordon back at Hearts one day. He's a free agent, he's only 30 (young for a keeper) and the last I heard was that he might be working his way back to fitness. The great tragedy about Gordon's career is that the main beneficiary of his injuries at Sunderland, Simon Mignolet, eventually got the move to a big club that Gordon now never will.

Speaking to a few Mackems when Gordon was the No.1 choice they seemed to still prefer Mignolet. Not sure if they were winding me up or not, but I don't think he convinced all of them down there.

Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 When I saw the thread title this was the save that came to mind. I couldn't speak for about two days after that match! We were absolutely superb in that game. Can't believe how many are like minded, instantly to mind. It must be then. Anti had a topper in a 7 1 win over Dunfermline which could be too easily forgotten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a cracker,point blank header and he somehow clawed it off the line shame we still got a pumping that day,at home I'd say Gordon vs plastic whistle he somehow dived one way then spun back the other to save a deflected free kick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo Bill Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Without doubt, Craig Gordon v Motherwell. I would suggest that the big guy takes a complete break from football, go away and lie on a beach for a while, maybe a little bit of swimming and then completely re-start his career at 31, injury free, with Hearts.

bighusref Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Gordon vs motherwell for the best save but best all round performance has to be rousset in the 98 cup final Isn't it roundly understood that Rousset's best game in a Hearts jersey was away to Motherwell? Very early in his Hearts career, possibly second, third game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rudi Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Goram when he played with the h1b5, still can't fathom out how he saved Crabbo's shot although we won 3 zip he was incredible that day, by far the best keeper I have ever seen.

Dallas Green Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Gordons save against Motherwell was outstanding. Did he not tip one over the bar from saving on the penalty spot at Almondvale? (I don't mean a penalty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samster Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 I'm sure it will have been said already bu Henry Smith's save from Tommy Coyne against Celtic was probably the greatest save i've ever seen. 0-1 down, meant it stayed that way at half time and we came back to win 3-1.

Its been a long time baby Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) Not the best save but one of my favourites, Kello saving a penalty the game after Jim Cruickshank died.

Mikey1874 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Andy Gorams save against us when he played for hubs when he save a Scott Crabbe thunderbolt about twenty years ago, we beat them 3-1 IIRC. Hard to beat. A great performance in what could have easily been 6 or 7. Another opposition save was Pat Bonner last seconds of a league cup game. Can't remember who shot. It then went to extra time. I think Robbo scored equaliser on 120 minutes to make it 2-2, then we lost on penalties. Classic game. There was game like it, same result. 2 fine keepers perhaps the only 2 to match Niemi and Gordon in my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N Lincs Jambo Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 The one game I really regret missing was the derby in '91 when legend has it the Hearts fans applauded Goram off the park as by accounts from mates who were there it really could have been 8 or 9 that day. Another performance not yet mentioned in this thread was Jim Leighton for the sheep when they won the league at Tynie (midweek match in 1984 I think). Final score was 1-0 sheep but I couldn't believe how much we bossed that game and if it hadn't been for Leighton we would have won by quite a few. I hitch-hiked down from Dundee for that game getting a lift off an Aberdeen supporters club bus (scarf up jumper until we got to Balgreen!).

Goose Baxter Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Mines was Craig Gordon's save from Thomas Buffel at home in the 05/06 season This is a much better save than the one against Motherwell IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 The one against Well looks smashing but at a good height and central, check replay from behind. His triple save against Ferencvaros was at Murrayfield, still a home game, and another home game at Fester when he saved from Rob Jones in injury time to keep it 2 all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teuchterjambo Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 This will only be remembered by a few of the "Older Codgers" but the final game of the season 64/65 for me saw one of the best and certainly most significant saves ever at Tynecastle although time may be dimming the memory on the detail but no doubt someone will be able to correct any inaccuracies. Needing a single point against Killie to win the league or in fact any 2 goal defeat apart from 2 nil we were two down when Alan Gordon rose and headed powerfully down on target and somehow Bobby Ferguson got his hand to it and kept it out ... reminiscent of the great Banks World Cup save in Mexico as I remember it. Killie won the league at that moment , great save and highly significant but not a happy memory for this particularly sad and tearsome 14 year old at the time.

That was the greatest goalkeeping performance I’ve ever witnessed live.
