peebles jambo Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 can you remember raving about when you were growing up? mines is cruikie and donald ford i can recall having favourites during the years watching the famous, but these two really stick out in my memory my oldest sons was robbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flogel98 Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Probably Bannon as he was around when I started going to games myself. Whiile still hanging on to my dads every word (and wallet), would probably be Donald Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hearts_crazy Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Drew Busby, then Willie Gibson (although he was pretty gash really, I only really remember him throwing his head back in disappointment at another chance squandered) then obviously John Robertson.

Jerah Jambo Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Willie Hamilton. Sadly didn't see as much of his skills as I would have liked. But, like others, Donal Ford too. Am I right in thinking he never even got booked? A true sportsman if ever there was one. Totally agree with your choices Luther, Willie H was something else but I'm afraid he pressed the self-destruct button before he could show everybody how special he really was. Top man for me was (and still is) Donald Ford, for a good number of years he was the Hearts forward line and I still feel fortunate that I witnessed his great hatrick at Aberdeen, sheer class. Something sticks in mind that I was at a game at Tynie when he was booked by a ref called (I think) R.Gordon from Newport on Tay, but I could be (probably am) wrong, never mind great memories !! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stirlo Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Scott Crabbe - looked like a top prospect when he first came into the Hearts team and I still think that selling him to Dundee United was a big mistake. John Millar as although he wasn't the most skillfull player he had a useful habit of scoring in big games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
