itsnomarooned Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'm bored, so ..... We have 2 x Thomson in the 1st team so naturally they have C.Thomson and J.Thomson on their shirt - fine and dandy. However, why does Elliott have S.Elliott on the back of his shirt when it's quite clear we only have 1 Elliott at the club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Tucker Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Because Elliott and Elliot look similar on the back of a top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, why does Elliott have S.Elliott on the back of his shirt when it's quite clear we only have 1 Elliott at the club? Because I am sure people will get mixed up even though there is a difference of a 't' if they dont have the S before his name. As a sidenote, we in the future could have shirts that are R.McGowan and D.McGowan, and in the longer term C.Hamilton and J.Hamilton. And dont forget that we could have another Thomson shirt with D.Thomson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templeton'sUnderpants Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Every week the Hearts facebook page posts the team line up, every week without fail someone posts, "Which Elliot(t)?" Evidently it is required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsnomarooned Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 Maybe S.Elliott could be replaced with "Catholic laddie from good Irish stock - take note Towell ya nobber" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jambovambo Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 "Thomson and Thompson (original French: Dupont et Dupond) are a pair of detectives in Herg?'s classic Belgian comic graphic-novel series The Adventures of Tintin. While the two are apparently not related as they have different surnames, they are twice referred to as twins or brothers in the original language version of the series. In any case, the two clumsy detectives look like twins and can only be told apart by the shape of their moustaches. (Thomson's moustache flares out a tiny bit on each side at the bottom.)

jamboinglasgow Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 G.Smith and D.Smith as well? yeah realised about them after I posted. Also if you go to U17 level you have B.King and A.King Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychocAndy Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I might be making this up but did Arthur Monford and Archie McPherson not have nightmares in the late 70's early 80's about us. Did we not have Bobby Robinson, Malky Robertson, Chris Robertson and Robbo breaking through. Also I'm sure I've missed another one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Footballfirst Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 G.Smith and D.Smith as well? Might as well add Dave Smith's wee brother, Lewis Smith who plays for the U13s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, why does Elliott have S.Elliott on the back of his shirt when it's quite clear we only have 1 Elliott at the club? To put the wind up the hobos! Sadly, there wasn't enough room to get, "There is only one Stephen Elliott, the Irish Catholic slaughterer of the Hibs and loved by Hearts fans"!!! . . . on his shirt! And, of course, the T or the TT is not enough for the scrags from the rags to differentiate between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hearts Heritage Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I'll do a check when I get back to my computer but iirc we had 4 'Walkers' in the 1890s one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
