Tazio Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 A bit amazing that players must be at Tynecastle 35 minutes before kick off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Weathers Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 What formation was that? A goalkeeper 2 Full backs, 3 centre backs, 5 midfielders. Were the outside left/right and centre players the attackers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were the outside left/right and centre players the attackers? What used to be called a 2-3-5 formation. Inside, and outside were forwards and centre was centre forward.

Dave Ross Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 My Grandad used to say it was because of Dave McLean, Tommy Walker had such a great team (without taking anything away from Walker). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the general Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 the late John Kerr has/had a good collection of things like this,one time we were through at Christies in Glasgow for one of their special football auctions but Scottish Museums were buying up a lot of the juicy stuff so John ended up with a shoebox full of an ex players momentos .. mostly it was old club ties and pin badges(original un tampered with crests ) also included was the players itinary for a tour of Australia - it was really facinating - coach to tran station,train to Southampton then a ship to Oz taking over a week ( if memory serves) just to get there.there were menus etc too I really hope this kind of stuff ends up in any museum in the new stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Albert Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 My Grandad used to say it was because of Dave McLean, Tommy Walker had such a great team (without taking anything away from Walker). Your Grandad was right. As one example this (1948) was the first year Conn, Bauld and Wardhaugh played together - all Davie McLean's men. Amazing incidentally that you could set off by bus from Tynecastle then at 12.30 and be sure of reporting at Ibrox by 2.15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boat would have been far longer. Possibly the tour to South Africa by boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hearts had a very poor start to 48-49 with only wins against 3LRV and QOS. http://www.londonhearts.com/scores/sea/1948-49.html#Results including a 4-0 loss to the said East Fife side that meant the introduction of 'The experimental forward line-up' http://www.londonhearts.com/scores/games/19481009.html#team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
