Chad Sexington Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Good to hear the great man will be in attendance according to official site. http://www.heartsfc.co.uk/articles/20110808/hospitality-nearing-a-sell-out_2241460_2413703 Apparently he's not in the best of health so it's great he's making the effort and fitting that Hearts have invited him as a guest of honour. Hope we put in a performance that does him justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son Of Anarchy Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Is he well enough to play?

Had the pleasure of meeting him once (very occasionally comes to my local for a pint). Total gent. He certainly is. Was lucky enough to fawn all over him chat to him over a pint a good few years ago. A nicer, more humble man, you couldn't hope to meet. He told me he HATES that Bremner photo though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Independence Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I remember listening to 5live in 1999 and Dave Mackay was featured on a 'living legends' programme. He was being interviewed and, of course ,it started of with his Hearts career. It then , naturally, moved to his time at Spurs. However, he kept referring back to the Hearts and the interviewer was not best pleased. At the end of the programme the interviewer explained that Dave Mackay had asked before the programme that he wished to describe the tie he was wearing to the listeners.....his Hearts centenary tie that, as he said, he was wearing with pride. He is Hearts 'through and through' and IS and will be forever a Hearts legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 He is widely quoted as saying that but it didn't stop him signing a limited edition run of 500 prints of the photo (provenance guaranteed) - one of which I am pleased to have. I bought my dad one a few years ago for his birthday He says in his book that he has come to dislike it because it does not represent the style of player he was. He always believed in fair play. This is backed up by the fact that he was never red carded in his playing career. He does however acknowlege the fact that he has signed hundreds of said iconic pic (and it was a lucky jouno who got it at the time). End of the day Bremner deserved what he got because Davie had just recovered from 2 broken legs and said Leeds player went in recklessly with no intention of going for the ball.

Mr Sifter Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Is it true he's got a ticket for Section N? I can confirm Mr Dave will be in section N for the game. Initially he wanted a seat in G, but Hearts explained to him that unfortunately he didn't hold a legendary enough status to get a ticket for G. Mr Dave understood fully.

chester copperpot Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Comparing cold porridge to smoked salmon mate. Too true, and you can't blame the club for trying to make some serious bunce out of the tie. The spurs fans will be all over our hospitality. They'll find the prices a steal compared to what they have to pay at WHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
