Not A Member

How did you find out about London Hearts

Fanzines, word of mouth. Excellent website BTW

More often than not.

Favourite English team

Spurs (went to school with Dave MacKay's nephew, got autograph, rest is history).

You can see I'm no glory-seeker.

Apart from Dundee, various semi-finals are right down there

(Airdrie twice, St Mirren and St Johnstone).

Best Hearts goal

Naysmith v Aberdeen, Fuller v Motherwell, de Vries (4) v Them, Denzil v Pars and Robbie in Basel. Ach, what the hell EVERY one!

NOT being a Hibee or a glory-seeking bigot!

Win in Basel will always be special to me.

Should point out that after 10 Euro away games I have now seen Hearts win in Europe!

How did you become a Jambo

Runs in the family.
Thanks Dad, the highs make up for ALL the lows.
