Memorable Games

Hearts in 1st division. Home draw, 0-0 v. Hamilton!

Memorable for me coz I was mascot that day!

The TV cameras were also (surprisingly) there - I also shook hands with Arthur Montford that day.

He never got the chance to shout "Goal! A goal! Yes it's a goal!" that day.

Other Comments

Jin & I led out the team! Willie Gibson said he thought I was a good player (to Derek O'Conner) after I put the ball past John Brough in the warm up! That memory lingers on - but I never made it to the Hearts team. That was my dream that was!
