How long a member of London Hearts

Not A Member

How did you find out about London Hearts

Was a member in the 80's but moved away (Les was getting too affectionate). Will rejoin soon.

Favourite all time Hearts Player

It has to be John Robertson as no-one else has given me so much to cheer about. I have to admit liking Willie Gibson when I was younger when no-one else seemed to.

Most memorable Game

Cup Final '98 Locomotiv Liepzig Winning at Parkhead, Ibrox and Tannadice in '86 I would have added Bayern at home but Les made me drink so much on the train on the way up I can't remember it very well. These old guys can sure hold their liquor! Aberdeen Semi final win in '96.

How often do you get to games

Only a couple of times a year at present

Favourite English team

None in particular, but as my dad was a Yorkshireman I have a soft spot for Sheffield Wednesday and Rotherham. Lucky me !!

Lowest moment

After the defeat at Dens

Best Hearts goal

Robbo's 1st against Dundee Utd in 86 and his overhead kick against Rangers to equalise in a 2 - 2 draw and his solo goal to break the record. Dennis McQuade at Pittodrie seconds after telling my mate how crap he was. Drew Busby screamer to equalise against Celtic at Tynie. Fergies against Bayern was pretty good too (or so I'm told)

Best thing about being a Jambo

The bond that exists between us. I'm not sure there are many others who have been through the up's and downs that we have.

Proudest moment

Although the cup final in 98 is a close second and certainly the happiest I have to say I was never prouder than in the 60 minutes after the 86 cup final. Who won that day ?

How did you become a Jambo

A message from god. (or was it my Grandad)
