Tepi I think. :ninja:

 

without looking at london hearts, i'm trying to think of who replaced my first goalie. it might have been Thompson Allen. i remember we signed him from Dundee, though can't think of anyone before that.

Craig Nelson.

 

Still got the programme somewhere.

 

Thankfully ever since I have never had to worry about a Hearts goalkeeper. :pleasing:

I think it was Craig Nelson.

 

Can't really remember it though. It's strange thinking about how blessed with goalies we've been since, Rousset, Niemi, Gordon, Kello...Mad.

who was the goalie at your first ever Hearts match? Mine's was the legendary Ray Dunlop.

 

The one and only Jim Cruickshank

Jim Cruikshank was in goals when my dad first took me to Tynie, the first goalkeeper i do remember was John Brough. As someone pointed out earlier in the thread Ray Dunlop, but i really dont remember him at all.

Henry Smith

 

Friendly v Elgin, Borough Briggs, August 1995

 

He had absolutely nothing to do that game, finished 4-0.

Pretty sure it was Henry. Last day of the season 83-84?? Beat Hamilton 2-0 and came up as runners up to St Johnstone.

 

People go on about Niemi or Gordon's saves but I seen Henry makes saves comparable with either of them.

I was privileged to see the great Jim Cruickshank.

As a naive youngster I just assumed ever goalkeeper was that good and it was normal to make the saves that he did.

I'm still waiting to see one that even comes close sad.gif

I went back and checked (thank you London Hearts), and it was Ray Dunlop.

 

Hearts 4 East Fife 1, 10th Septmber 1977

and now I know that in the first 11 minutes of my first Hearts game I had seen Willie Gibson and Drew Busby both score!

 

 

It took another seven or eight years before I saw Hearts score more goals in a game (beating Dumbarton 5-1, in 84-85 I think, Kenny Black hat-trick, if anyone remembers that one)

Cruickie I think early 70's Hearts 4 Celtic 1 he was beaten by a Bobby Murdoch pen that nearly burst the net.
