jimbojambo Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Wayne's finest moment as commemerated by his framed jersey in the Tynie Arms. We were under the cosh most of the game but Wayne broke through to seal 21 in a row. The celebrations in the Dunbar Road end continued long after the final whistle. If you want to re-live the moment that Wayne entered into Jambo folklore please drop me a PM as we are showing the whole game on the big screen at the Merchiston Hearts on Friday 18 February in aid of club funds. A limited number of tickets are still available at ?5.00 including a Greggs pie at half time and we are confident that the great man himself will make an appearance. We also have brilliant prizes for the raffle and a nearest the bottle wins so should be a great night. Wayne, Wayne, Super Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I was there and it was an incredible experience. As a 90 minute game of football, it was pretty terrible, we only had two shots on target the whole game IIRC. But the two vital goals and the scenes were something very few games have ever surpassed for me. ...the last great terracing sway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn0lGFGMccw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Tree Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Fantastic a great shout. As BB says that was some experience. Dunbar end went berzerk hibbies I know to this day say they've not seen an away support go as raj as that. Still a seriously sore point for them too... Tremendous!

Jambothump Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'd been to fosterroad many times before, and been back many times since. I remember coming up there, and stopping at London Road and looking back down, never seen the massed support like that, before or since. Still get a warm glow, when I think of that day. As an aside, apparently Superwaynes favourite Hearts goal scored, was against Kilmarnock, can't see that he'll have celebrated that one in such an iconic fashion. jt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH11_2NL Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Every victory over the mankies is a good victory but this game stands out for atmosphere. 10,000+ Jambos that day. The Dunbar End shook when that goal went in. That's what made standing at matches brilliant. Pity you had to wade through a river of pish to get there though!

colinmaroon Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I was there! It wasn't quite as much pressure from Hibs as we had last week from Ugly Blue but, similar but greater buzz at the late goal! After all, it was Hibs and the Cup! The good ol'days when the toilets were awful, on a rainy day you got soaked regularly, but what an atmosphere! We lost a major part of the football experience when we lost the the terracing, and the spreading out of the singers, the ones who made a noise for the team has changed the whole atmosphere! And, something else in the context of that goal, we hardly ever hear anything about the man who hit a perfect through ball - Gary MacKay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gizmo Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 One of the best times I had on the old terracing at ER. I ended up 30 feet away from my mate such was the sway and jumping around after Fozzie did the business. I've told this story many times before, but after the match and they held the hibs fans behind barriers, some grizzled old soak piped up "Ah've never even heard o Wayne Foster". Seems even then they had as many disingenuous excuses for how terribly unfair and unjust football was to them - outmuscled, not allowed to play their flair game etc!

bighusref Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I tell this story every time this is mentioned. A young Husref was at this game with his auld man, and I remember vividly telling my dad that if we were to be knocked out, McLaren would be off to Ibrox the following day. A guy in front of me turned round and, in more direct terms than this forum permits, informed me we would not lose and as such the transfer would not happen. I remember the chances they had, I remember Levein kicking the ball of our own post before smuggling it wide for a corner. I also remember Hibs fans applauding Foster on, such was his goal record. This game is the reason (along with Janczyk) that I do not get involved in the "who?" or "who are ya" shouts when an opposition player is brought on. I feel certain that their reaction spurred Wayne on that day. Lost our place by about ten yards when Foster scored, a joyous memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigieboy Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I was in the stand with my mate. I'll never forget the look on their faces at the winner.

Nelly Terraces Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 The greatest goal celebration in history. Fact. Absolutley. Ptretty sure that it must've registered on the richter scale. Used to be mental celebrations in the Dunbar End anyway, but Fozzies winner was just sheer utter unadulterated pandemonium. Yet another superb day out at the swamp. I've still got the bruises.

Denny Crane Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Easily two of the best goal celebrations I've been involved with. Mind, I don't want to experience what happened afterwards on the corner of London Road/Leith Walk again. Bloody casual ambush waiting for Hearts fans making their way home - never run so fast in my life (and I don't win any Mr Svelte prizes either). Funny thing about that was, as soon as we reached Princes Street, there were a dozen or so Jambos who had escaped but one over-enthusiastic Hibs casual who forgot to stop running when the numbers were not in his favour. I didn't get involved with what happened after that and I don't normally condone violence. But bearing in mind what this little ****** was planning to do to any random Hearts fan under the cover of having his mates with in, his kicking was deserved. Not half as funny as the wee spotty in a green scarf who tried to have a pop at me in Burger King afterwards (told you I wasn't svelte) only for him to stop abruptly once I stood up (he was a wee rake, I being old school rugby number 8 - I figured the odds would be in my favour of resolving this without any blows being aimed). Then on the train back to Newcastle, my carriage had one Hibs fan and 20-odd Jambos.....we stopped the banter at Berwick out of pity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radge21 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 A wonderful day. My mate a good Jambo was a barman in the tolbooth tavern on the high street. I went back after the match finished and never had to pay for a drink the whole night. He looked after any Jambo that was in. He celebrated as much as I did, and he was on the wrong side of the bar. Never made my work the following morning either mind you. Thanks Wayne Foster. Total legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SectionDJambo Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I remember listening to the draw that paired us and the Hobos together on the way back from Firhill in the previous round. It was made at Easter Road, and you could hear them cheering when they heard. We were a bit worried that the 20 game unbeaten run could end with them beating us in a big cup game. The game itself was dire, but it is still one of my best memories of being a Hearts fan. As others have said, the celebration was something else. The Fozzie on the fench picture is iconic in Hearts' history, and luckily the match was televised, so we can enjoy reliving that sublime moment for ever. I was standing directly behind the line of his shot and, as it passed through bandies legs, was celebrating before it crossed the line. I bought the picture that the Evening News had on it's back page on the Monday, of Wayne running towards the fence. I hung it on the wall, deciding never to take it down until we won a trophy, because the feeling was so good, even in the bad times, a wee glance at that picture would make me smile again. Happy Wayne Foster Day on the 20th everyone. Perhaps a wee reminder during the match on Saturday would remind us all of this wonderful day.

We always seemed to be in the Main Stand in those days, which in hindsight was probably a decision of my dads. The first time i ever stood on the Dunbar End was the next Derby, 22 (0-0 if i remember right), which was also the first time i was allowed to go to Foster Road with a couple of mates from school (one of whom is now sadly dead). It is the scenes from this game and Bayern that always stick in my mind when i think back about standing at football. Absolute pandemonium when i can see both the Dunbar End and the Shed in my minds eye. My old man was also nearly lifted near the end for throwing the ball away when he caught it. He got a right talking to off a steward. I'd have had a hard job explaining that one away to my mum.

We were 3 up (ended 4-0) and the ball went into the Hearts end right at the front. I looked over as two lads juggled the ball and then one of them booted it half way down the park to the delight of the away support....it was an old mate of mine from the Calders and his Brother up to mischief.......the big cant always had a good blooter on him....was on the end of many a skelp from him in a game of sting! hahahaa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
