He's only ever played about 15 games per year in his career. Total joker. He should never have been signed after the loan period. All the signs on his character were there during that loan period. Particular highlight was him being rightly sent off at Pittodrie and then calling the referee a racist. It is great that these sorts of players are being weeded out of the Hearts squad. JJ has been bringing in players with real character rather than the jokers of the pyramid/Laszlo period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debut 4 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Larry was a terrific signing initially - just didn't work out for him, like so many players who have arrived at our club in the last few years!! Latterly he took the pi sh and deserved the flak but how can any Hearts fan wholly dismiss him so easily? In his early days he was a good player for us and undoubtedly talented, at our level anyway. It was a shame on both accounts, that he acted a mug in the end,(obviously an attitude problem) and we didn`t see a good few seasons of his ability on a regular basis which he showed at the start.

naeclue Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Certainly a skilled player, and had some good performances for us, but like so many players we seemed to over-pay, never really justified the huge salary. Not quite in the same ball park as a waste of cash as Pinilla, but imagine with JJ could do with 15k a week for a player? Anyone else notice that we are cutting the wage bill and playing much better - more entertaining, better results. This can't last... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankblack Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 One of the worst examples of a professional footballer I've ever seen at Tynecastle, alongside Pinilla. He played more times for Ghana than us in his Hearts career over 3 years, and I'll never forget the time he pretended to be injured and walked off against Dundee Utd, which put us down to 10 men as we had used our subs. I remember some guy waving notes in his face as he walked around the stands to leave. :santa1: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Old Tolbooth Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I remember being excited to watch him when he made his debut away to Dunfermline, he was fairly quiet that day but turned out to be a decent enough player.........or so I thought! In the end he was an utter waste of space who should have been sacked and then sued for his wages back, little parasite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midfield Dynamo Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 based on ability, is one of the best players we've had in years, shame he was a feckin waster.

And I still don't buy the fact he was pretending to be injured in that United game. Why would you play and put the effort in for 89 minutes (he was actually pretty decent that game) and then feign injury with seconds to go? Overall it clearly never worked out and it was money wasted, but initially he was a very good player for our level and was starting to show that form again under JJ last season.

alanjambo Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Under JJ he was starting to show what a good player he is. I'd actually have him back if it was purely a pay as you play deal. But looking back overall, he was a terrible signing. Good at the start, good at the end and a terrible wage theif in-between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you play and put the effort in for 89 minutes (he was actually pretty decent that game) and then feign injury with seconds to go? I think you will find that even if I exaggerated my first point its not far off the mark, when you consider African Nations etc. At one point he even travelled home for a friendly when the club declared him injured and was out for even longer. As for the Dundee Utd game he may have taken a slight knock but he could have played on as there were around 10 minutes left of play, with the game at 0-0. It was a game that could have given us a chance of getting into the hunt for Europe had we won. Players like Ian Black just pick themselves up and get on with it in that situation. Overall it clearly never worked out and it was money wasted, but initially he was a very good player for our level and was starting to show that form again under JJ last season. I was impressed with the guy at first but he seemed to pick up the Pinilla bug and lost interest in playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diadora Van Basten Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 For the Dundee utd game he tore his hammy which caused him to miss the African nations thus proving it to be a true injury.

JJ had only good things to say about LK - although he was probably trying to squeeze the only little amount of effort in his body out if him. Laszlo however, appeared to spot him for what he was and told him to do one, fit or not fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry had played numerous games that season where he hadn't bothered his arse and this just seemed like another kick in the teeth. Most other players would have been given the benefit of a doubt, Larry though had been an arse for too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heartbeat Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 sad thing about it is he IS a very gifted footballer It just shows why guys with limited ability but great attitudes sometimes have long careers and the opposite applies to those like him. If didnt have a heart the size of a lentil and an ego the size of Ghana then he could have had a much much better career. Waster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colinmaroon Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 He is probably the biggest wage thief we've had, and that's saying something! The only way you could a decent returm from Larry would be to pay a low basic and huge performance related bonuses. But then he wouldn't settle for that because all he wants is a lot of money and contract, so that he can play a very few and pick up an awful lot!!!

The Comedian Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Kingston was great right until he signed his 3 year deal, it was downhill after that until JJ came along. I'd say his form and fitness miraculously returned because his deal was up soon and he was looking for an extension or a move to Mug FC. The 500k fee + his wages for very little impact and countless injuries will ensure Kingston is up there as one of the biggest disapointments in our clubs history.
