Most memorable Game

Can only be the Scottish Cup final 2-1 against Rangers. Up until then the only one I knew that had seen us lift any silverware was my dad. That day not only did he see us do it again but he had his son and grandaughter with him that day. Still makes my eyes mist over just thinking about it.

How often do you get to games

Almost every home game, also starting to get to a few away matches (work permitting).

Favourite English team

Leyton Orient, followed by Man City.

Lowest moment

Its got to be THAT game, still can't get my head round that one. But if you believe every Hibby you've ever met, there mst have been at least 20,000 of them there.

Best Hearts goal

Mike Galloway, against Austria Vienna, Prater stadium, Vienna. From a beatifully deflected pass from Eamonn Bannon. Walter "Zico" Kidd took of like a sprinter, left the Austrian defence in wkat can only be described as a combination of disarray and disbelief, then dropped an inch perfect cross on Galloways head. The rest they say is bliss.

Best thing about being a Jambo

Not being a Hibby.

Proudest moment

Watching the team parade the Scottish Cup along Princes Street.

How did you become a Jambo

Didn't have much choice. My Dad was brought up in Whitson, if I'd been anything else I think I might just have qualified as the worlds first self inflicted orphan.
