Player Nominated | Craig Levein |
Nominated By | David Preston |
Where Do You Live | Dullatur/Cumbernauld |
Why nominated | The guy was class, as simple as that! He had Great Pace, Strength, Intelligence and could play a bit as well. IMHO, the complete defender. I just wish he was still playing. I would say the best Hearts player I have seen. |
Memorable Matches | Remember 1984 at Easter Road, we were losing 1-0 and it was deep into the 2nd half. This was when CL played in midfield. Sandy Jardine plays a long hopeful ball forward and there is Craig sprinting towards the penalty area, he sticks out a telescopic leg and gets a toe to the ball and diverts it past the onrushing Alan Rough 1-1. We went onto win the game in the last minute when Derek O'Connor scored the winner. Superb. Craig had a good record against the Vermin and scored a few memorable goals. I remember his debut at Ibrox, we lost 3-0 and a guy we were with refused to go back as in his opinion, Hearts should not be signing crap from Cowdenbeath and Craig would never be a footballer. Also Craig was immense along side Big HeeHaw in Scotland vs. Sweden in the 1990 World Cup, had Thomas Brolin in his pocket. |
Other Comments | Again, another Hearts player ignored by Scotland Managers, everytime he played for Scotland he did well. A career sadly cut short by injury, although he did come back twice which says a lot about him. As I said the Complete Defender! |
