How long a member of London Hearts | Not A Member |
How did you find out about London Hearts |
Met the lads in Stuttgart in a drunken haze. Shurely some mishtake hic! |
Favourite all time Hearts Player | First favourite was John Colquhoun who was later my Rector at Edinburgh Uni, it was a pleasure watching wee Robbo score goals, and now I am a huge fan of Elvis. |
Most memorable Game |
Aside from the Cup Final which was the best day of my life, probably Bordeaux away, Bayern Munich at home, 4-0 at Easter Road at New Year, and Parkhead 3-2 in 2000. |
How often do you get to games | Very rarely miss a game, home or away. |
Favourite English team | Tottenham Hotspur, because of the John White connection with Spurs and Musselburgh, where all my family are from, long story my Grandad once told me. |
Lowest moment | 1986 and all that, also walking back from a defeat at Easter Road in 1994 convinced we would be relegated. |
Best Hearts goal | Gary Mackay's against Clydebank in 1986, the day we should have won the league bar the shouting. |
Best thing about being a Jambo | Waking up each morning and realising that you are not a Hibee! I take pride in standing behind the goals freezing at Motherwell in December knowing that another European trip is only a few months away. |
Proudest moment | Catching the first glimpse of the Scottish Cup on the open top bus at the bottom of the mound. |
How did you become a Jambo | I was given the choice at around 7, Hearts or Hibs, it was either going to the games with my Dad, or I wasn't getting to live in his house!! |
