EC_Hearts Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Calum Milne !!! sound guy and a drinking buddy for many a year (mind you did coincide with the 17 in a row & 22 in a row periods). Mickey Weir !!! around the same time had some great nights out in his company (honestly) Alan Lawrence - when at Airdrie he was bored in the afternoon so used to work in my local (manager was his neighbour) great guy even if Airdrie did do us in 2 semi's. The semi he won with Hearts meant he could come home safely that evening. Crabbo - Top man, stays up the road from me always got time to stop and talk about the jambos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Number 10 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Met a few Man U players from 80's growing up and was introduced to Fergie not long after he took over at Old Trafford, was polite and chatted away to us for a bit before the game. Also met Sir Matt Busby who was a true gent. Gary Mackay lived across the road from us for a good few years, never let you go by without saying hello and his sons used to run about with my brother. One a night out we bumped into Miko and Kingston in Bar Kohl, Kingston was a bit arrogant but to a shine to one of my pals so was chatting to her, Miko was great and my pals and I chatted to him for quite a while, was drinking a milkshake! I was Chief Bridesmaid for my best pal the day before Hearts played Barcelona in 2007, full squad and Romanov spent the night in the Norton House where the reception was, players came down to see the bride and night reception was delayed whilst we got pictures taken with them, great memories for us to keep.

Marvin Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 just goes to show how people see things differently, he presented flowers to a old friends widow in the summer and hung about for a while talking to the lads, he was chatty but a little shy and his girlfriend was very pretty, but I suppose you can only go by your own experiences, for instance I've met Robbo on more than one occasion and the " you should never meet your hero's" applies here with me. not met JR but have heard similar stories from people I know who have met him, but who am I to judge. Robbo is still a hero in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munch Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I'm fairly pleasant and mild mannered but on a football pitch I am 100% ar**hole. We've all got perceptions of players based mostly on their behaviour on the pitch. One of my mates met Neil Lennon in a bar a few years back and said he was pretty sound. I've met a few, Robbo is a gentleman, Jim Hamilton is down to earth, Darren Jackson was a bit of a ******. Jamie McAllister always seemed terrified when normal people spoke to him and resorted to cliches as if he was doing a press interview. Graeme Smith seems a bit nervous of talking about football but is quite personable, maybe a bit aloof. David Xausa (sp?) St Johnstone, Livi and Canada was a proper weirdo. I quite often see the Livingston lads before a game and they seem pretty well behaved. A hibee mate once met big Gilles and said he was different class. Anyone else got any (better!) stories of footballers in real life? I Spoke to Blackie at a petrol station in Muselburgh he came accross really well he even said he looked at Kickback now and again.

J Cheever Loophole Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I once carried out some work for Davie Hay at his house in Giffnock and he was sound even footing my ladder for me in a short bathrobe,Ooer settle down misses,and flip flops.As he was manager of Livvy at the time he game me 2 tickets for the next Hearts game although at the game suited and booted I went tonto when Hearts equalized so much so I was removed from the guest area by the police marched round the track past the dug outs and into the Hearts end where they all though we were Plod.

Al Bundy Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 The goalies, Gordon Marshall senior and junior were two very friendly gents when I spoke with them through working near them. Pasquale Bruno - Gent Gilles Rousset - Gent Craig Levein - Gent I'm not one for approaching players when I see them up town and seen a few over the years - some of whom I wished I hadn't when they made me look sober. Others who have made me rage when seen them puffing away or drinking before a game. The 2006 squad frequented Cargo most weeks and were all polite and accomodating.

TheBigO Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Have met Neil Lennon and am more than happy to report that he is, as we all know, a piece of shit. Met Martin O'Neill (same night I think, though my brain doesn't work in a timeline!) and was saddened to find him a totall gent!! Didn't and still don't like him but now only don't like the on telly/football O'Neill! Unlike Lennon who I hope's bum caves in. Met loads of players, coaches etc. Can't think of any jambos I've been disappointed by. From Hibs, used to see Paul Kane and Goram a fair bit when i was a bairn (dinny ask!) and they were great. Used to rip me rotten for being a jambo but I used to love it. Can also confirm that Hugh Dallas is a surprisingly good laugh and has some great stories to tell - top banter actually!!

He went quiet when I asked him outside for a square go though. Met Wallace & Driver recently and they seemed cool. Hate to say it but Robbo has always appeared like he couldn't be arsed. Met Maybury and Kisnorbo on george street. Maybury bit of a prick but Kisnorbo was sound. Scott Crabbe = Legend. Best i've met though was Paul Mcstay & Scott Severin, total gentlemen.

SPG Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Met a few of the current squad at the David Lloyd: David Obua - really friendly and a very nice chatty guy. Lee Wallace - seen him a couple of times, always surrounded by a load of pals. Very hesitant/shy and a man of few words but fine once he knows you're a Jambo. Was playing tennis on the court beside me once so I asked him for a game of tennis but he said he was "murder".

Rubennumber1 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Met Neil McCann in a shop a couple of weeks ago and he was great chat.

RobM Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Wee Robbo has been fantastic anytime I've met him. John Colquhoun went above and beyond the call of duty when he took me and two drunken mates for a beer after a game at Sunderland when we bumped into him outside Roker Park. Dave McPherson's a good guy. Used to drink in Skippers in Musselburgh - Jackie McNamamra and Ralph Callachan are both decent guys as were Willie Jamieson and the late Bobby Smith who both worked/drank there at various times. Dave MacKay as has been said by everybody here who has met him is an absolute gentleman, spoke to him for over an hour In Staggs in Musselburgh one day (I knew his brother-in-law who was a regular) - really nice bloke - talking to him about Clough, Derby etc. but it's the Hearts that he loves.

Alan Johnson Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Only met Robbo once but he was much friendlier and chattier to me than most on here suggested, could be cause he was spending about 50 quid in Victoria Wine at the time though! Met Robert Tomaschek a few times playing golf, nice guy but a bit shy, always seemed genuinely upset about the time he missed for us with injuries. David Obua's a great guy, completely nuts though.

PsychocAndy Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Met the Legendary Gordon Smith, the real one. My great Aunty Kate had a 89th party in her house, had 2 season tickets for Easter Road during the F5 era and would take my mum with her. Their favourite player was Gordon Smith. His brother was a member of Torphien Hill golf club, as is my uncle, and arranged for him to be the surprise guest at Kate's party. Shit weather that day and he had to follow the snow plough in from North Berwick. A total and utter Gentleman of the highest order. He came in and shock hands with everyone before going to sit and talk to Kate for an age. Then went to talk to all of us in the room and just as he got to me Kate shouts "Don't bother with him He's one of those Hearts fans. He came over and told me he hated Hearts as a boy but made the best decision of his, footballing, life, when he signed for us, as everyone made him feel at home right away. He even talked about Drogadea(sp). Only heard about the mans footballing skills from older family members and they praised him to the skies but the man himself eclisped that by light-years.

tartofmidlothian Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Spoke to Mickey Cameron a couple of times when he used to drink at Kitty's in Kirkcaldy while he was with us. Really friendly guy, seemed a bit shy but happy to talk to enthusiastic Jambos. My uni class had their Christmas party at Three Sisters a good few years back, the same night as the Hearts squad: Mickey could barely stand by the look of him. Thomas Flogel is one suave b******, looked like a Bourne baddie in his leather jacket and polo neck. Robbie Neilson was surrounded by admiring girls, they couldn't get enough of him. Spoke to Scott Severin. Shy, not very chatty. Spoke to Grant Murray. Shy, really nice guy. Dirk Lehmann was wearing full drag, stockings, suspenders, make up, the works. Typical Hobo. Also ended up chanting Ricky Fuller's name at him along the Cowgate with some random Jambos I'd never met one night. He was loving it, smiling and waving and applauding us.
