How did you find out about London Hearts |
After going to Bordeaux in 2003, and visiting the website - magic it is. |
Favourite all time Hearts Player | John Robertson - sorry Scott! |
Most memorable Game |
16th May 1998. I said I wanted to see Hearts win something big before I died and did so with my two sons. Leipzig 5-1, Bordeaux away, and any games gubbing Hibs. |
How often do you get to games | 10 - 15 games a season, more if we are in Europe |
Favourite English team |
A few, Man Utd as a kid (never left me and loved Stuart Pearson's goal celebrations!), Newcastle United who I try to see a couple of times a season and Boro. |
Lowest moment | 1986 - horrific. |
Best Hearts goal |
John Stevenson's goal against Airdrie years ago. We needed to win and he hit the winner from 25 yards into the top corner. I was right behined it and the place went mad - magic. Willie Gibson's goal against Leipzig when he was trying to get out the way of a Drew Busby 100mph cross/shot(?), hit him on the napper and in it went. Stephane Adam's goal against Rangers in the final. Jimmy Sandison's goal against Aberdeen (if only for the goal celebration with Scott Crabbe!) |

How did you become a Jambo |
I was asked to go to Tynie, by a Rangers supporter, to see the game we beat them 2-1 in. It was his birthday and he never spoke to me again. It was my first ever game. |
