Coco Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Nice article in the Scotland on Sunday. Talks up one of our great players, a Scottish Cup Winning Captain. I loved seeing him play, such a wonderful passer of the football. His comments about how JJ manages his squads are good to hear too. http://scotlandonsunday.scotsman.com/sport/Steve-Fulton-has-a-New.6671572.jp :santa1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 He turned out good in the end Coco but some forget he was a lazy so and so early in his time at Hearts. Eventually he found the right workrate allied with his passing ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf's Mate Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 He turned out good in the end Coco but some forget he was a lazy so and so early in his time at Hearts. Eventually he found the right workrate allied with his passing ability. Same could be said about many great players. He was class on his game. A few good comments and liked this: " I got plenty of it from Hibs fans, especially at Easter Road. It was the same throughout my career, even when I was at other clubs, but obviously it intensifies when you're playing for Hearts. It's a lot easier to take if you're beating them, and I think most of the clubs I played for tended to do quite well against Hibs." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxteth O'Grady Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Will never forget his run into (nearly) the edge of the box to win us a penalty in the first minute of the Scottish Cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Gentleman Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Imagine what he would have been like if he wisnae' say fond of a fish supper or six! Suddenly I've got a craving for a fish supper. Trouble is, the fish they use Downunder, mainly, is a farmed catfish from the the delta of the River Mekong! It's called 'Bassa' and folk wonder why. Oh, for a beloved fillet or twa' of haddie. The best tasting white fish in the world. The English can keep their cod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I really liked Fulton but he was frustrating at times. He could be inconsistent from week to week and his fitness was never great. His left foot was incredibly cultured and he scored a few memorable goals for us. He looked so proud on cup final day and his winning of the penalty will always make him a hero. I'd love to meet him and thank him for his part in one of the best days of my life in the blazing sunshine at Parkhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hansel Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Best goal I saw Fulton score was when he played a 1-2 with Adam who chipped a return pass which was volleyed into the top corner against Aberdeen. Off to try and find it on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Fredrickson Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Fulton was a good player who became a great player due to playing in a great team. Football is a team game and Fulton brought things to the team that no-one else could. By the same token, others took up the slack for the parts that Fulton couldnt deliver on. Will go down in history as a Hearts leagend - cup winning captain - and I for one will always be grateful for his service to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigolo-Aunt Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 Fulton was a superb football player. What a ****** Billy McNeill was though to compare him to one of the footballing greats. Totally never needed that pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivlin Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Fulton was a superb football player. What a ****** Billy McNeill was though to compare him to one of the footballing greats. Totally never needed that pressure. Billy McNeil said, 'If Baggio is worth this much, how much will Fulton be worth in a few years?' ' Fulton..... "He wasn't exactly comparing like with like but his comments were exaggerated. They never bothered me, even when fans came up to me in the streets and told me I couldn't lace Baggio's boots." 'At the start it was a p*** take but now it has become a term of affection and even Killie and Hearts fans have given me the nickname. 'It has never affected me in the least. To be honest, I get more offended when people come up to me and say I don't look as fat as I do on the telly. 'That happens quite regularly and they expect me to take it as a compliment.'

The best tasting white fish in the world. The English can keep their cod. Reminds me of a true story, In JJ's last few months at Tynecastle season 2000/2001 he introduced a nutricionist/ chef to provide "after training" meals each Friday for the 1st team squad players in the Willie Bauld Suite. Meals were mostly pasta, lots of veg, grilled fish and chicken if I recall and attendance was mandatery. My lasting memory every Friday is of Stevie Fulton and Gary Locke regularly sneaking outside to catch one of the youth team apprentices (always getting him to swear that they had not spoken) and dispatching him off to the nearest chippy for 2 Fish Suppers.

Also he claims he will be the only player EVER to be booked for being Ugly (being booked after receiving chants from Hibs fans and blowing them a kiss) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
