The Future's Maroon Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 I was speaking to a few guys in the local (The Mill) yesterday about the guy, a few of them actually Hibs fans, and everyone is really hoping he has a great day out. Just read back through a few pages of this thread and it does bring a lump to the throat and tear to the eye. C'mon the JT's do this one for the wee man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevmacd Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Fair enough if he doesnae want a fuss, but could the kickback massive manage a wee "Sinky-Sinky" chant? Any of big Henry's chant's would fit - would be awesome, imo! Or 'Sinky, Sinky geez a wave' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 How is the wee man getting on? What happened with the biopsy? It proved to be inoperable. The cancer had spread too much. He's in a hospice and has lots of great mates around him visiting regularly and keeping his spirits up. If you know him I'd srtongly encourge you to get to his Birthday bash.

Eckauskas Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 I don't know Sinky very well, and sadly, I'll not be back in Edinburgh until Sunday morning. Could The General pass my regards to him please? Sinky = True Hearts man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the general Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 Will do Eck,visited him yesterday and for the first time he had a bit of a petted lip- the reason being due to an emergency in his ward he wasn't getting out for a fag! We managed to negociate with the usual helpful nurses and wheeled his bed out to the gardens,next thing he is hyper and meaadows is trying to show him how to blow smoke rings:-) but it's true they BOTH smoke like girls!

Midloth_Iain Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 From todays E.E.N. HE WAS there in the Seventies to watch Hearts beat Airdrie in the Texaco Cup, shivering on the windswept Broomfield terraces, still at primary school, at his first away match - but hooked for life.Sinclair "Sinky" Pentland stuck with his team through relegation and promotion, through the Wallace Mercer years and Save Our Hearts, when results were dire and relegation stung. He stayed while managers like Joe Jordan, Sandy Clarke and Tommy McLean came and went, players pledged allegiance then vanished within weeks and the Gorgie Road stadium finally fell into foreign hands. And through it all he would nearly always mark the final whistle by staggering home, belting out Hearts songs at the top of his voice. Indeed Sinky became such a fixture at Tynecastle - largely thanks to a quirky knack for getting himself into various madcap situations that involved being thrown out of rival clubs' grounds - that he became the fans' adopted "fan" with his own terracing chant, far too rude to reveal here. Now, though, his place in Tynecastle's Wheatfield Stand, Section D, Row 24, Seat 1 - "Handy for the pie shop and the toilets if I've had a bit too much to drink," he grins - sits empty. Sinky, terracing veteran of many a desperate Jambo battle and fevered celebration, is embroiled in his own courageous off-pitch fight, stricken with cancer, and now lying in a hospice bed. This weekend one of the biggest derby games to be played at Easter Road in recent history will kick off in front of an anticipated 20,400 fans and, for once, Sinky won't be there. But if he can't get to the game, Tynecastle has rallied round to take at least a flavour of Gorgie Road spirit to him . . . In a remarkable and unprecedented show of support for one of their most dedicated fans, Hearts players present and past, management and key backroom staff have acknowledged his devotion to their club by paying a series of emotional and surprise visits to his hospice bed. Among them, Rudy Sk?cel who left his signed number 19 shirt and, in a video message to the fan filmed moments after he scored a hat-trick against St Mirren in his Hearts return match, told him: "I told you I'd score a goal for you - instead, I scored three." Management duo Jim Jefferies and Billy Brown, coach Gary Locke and fans' favourites Gary MacKay, Giles Rousset, and John Robertson have all made private visits to his hospice bed. Legend !!
