Not A Member

How did you find out about London Hearts

Kickback

Favourite all time Hearts Player

Sandy Clark - when you watched him play,
he played like a supporter and gave his absolute everything in every match.

Most memorable Game

Dundee Utd 0-3 Hearts in 86.....
Robbo rightly got a lot of plaudits for his 2 goals,
but MOTM that day was big Sandy who ran Narey and hegarty (2 top defenders at that time) absolutely ragged and topped it off by feeding off a knock down to smash home from 1 yard ! Oh and 16-5-98 !!!

How often do you get to games

Not as often as I would like.

Favourite English team

The mighty Arsenal.

Lowest moment

86...nuff said

Best Hearts goal

John Colquhoun at Pittodrie in Jan 86.
Not a spectacular effort but Aberdeen were the team at the time and we went up there played them off the park and JC popped up with 5 minutes to go, broke the offside trap ran through and slotted in front of the Beach End full of Jambo's !!

Best thing about being a Jambo

Being able to always maintain the higher ground in discussions with Hibby's.

Proudest moment

The season after we came back up (85 ?)
watching Hearts run out in the Parc des Princes in the UEFA Cup.

How did you become a Jambo

Grandad - Dad - normal progression
