Knicksen Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 http://www.guardian....success-stories I better post on this 'cos of my username. I am too young (for once) to have seen him play - any kickbackers see him? K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts Heritage Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 I saw him play when I was about 9 or 10. I don't really remember that much about him Rene Moller with his shock of hair stood out. RJ won Norwegian FOTY 4 times twice before joing Hearts and twice after. Only Hearts player with a statue.

Thig Ar Latha Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I better post on this 'cos of my username. I am too young (for once) to have seen him play - any kickbackers see him? K Aye, a few times. A tricky winger, often on as a sub IIRC. Scored a cracking goal from a very tight angle in a 2-0 win at Parkhead, Ford scored the other. I was'nt there, but it was on the telly that night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Chimp Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 One of my Dad's favourite players, if not his favourite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john brownlee Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 could score from the corner spot if I remember correctly a excellent player. You could see he was a star even playing for Brann, after that game all that Hearts supporters were talking about was, when and how could we sign him and for once our dreams came true.

Knicksen Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Anyone know if there's any footage of him playing (a long shot, I know)? K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Findlay Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I'm surprised Nottingham Forest were not mentioned. There achievments far outshone Man Utd for instance. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debtor Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 Roald Jensen was a storming player! Best player in the league by a mile. His tendency not to tackle and to fade for half a season was annoying, but on his game worth ?20 million today! Against Morton in Cup semi he ran with the ball and defender. He stopped the ball and kept running, the defender went with him. He turned, ran back over the ball taking the defender with him, returned and picked up the ball and passed it on. The ball had sat there while he ran over it the defender following him. Huge laugh and for Jensen an easy bit of show. He could bend the ball long before these balls we see today. He threw the whole Falkirk defence, and Hearts attack, to one side enabling him to score at the Gorgie end during Falkirk's heavy defence days under Prentice. The type of skill on he could possess. How h would cope today I don't know, but the heavy tackling has gone and he may well last a full season! What a talent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey05 Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 I better post on this 'cos of my username. I am too young (for once) to have seen him play - any kickbackers see him? K Yes i saw him play, in fact when we played footie wi "the big boys" that was the name they gave me. Must have been something to do with the height. Unfortunately the disappointment of watching Hearts lose the cup final in 68 is the match that sticks most in my memory. Little did i know then how much pain and agony i was about to endure for the next 40 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie Pal Posted January 22, 2011 Share Posted January 22, 2011 The Jimmy Leadbetter mentioned in Alf Ramsey's Ipswich team came from Gorgie. His family had a butchers shop next to Tynie and Leadbetter's pies were famous and sold at Tynecastle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
