ello and welcome from Tynecastle Park.

Today is a massive game for us. While we know every match in this league is a big one when you are top of the table, this afternoon presents us with the chance to get back to winning ways and maintain that gap at the summit of the Championship.

Of course, we are very disappointed not be heading into today’s game with a win or two under our belts. We’ve drawn our last three matches and we need to put that lull behind us. There have been some moments of slackness in our recent play and we can’t have that here. We’re going for a title and we should be winning games.

It’s small details here and there that we need to improve on. We may be unbeaten in six games but we want to be picking up maximum points in every game we play.

This afternoon we welcome James McPake, the players and staff of Dundee Football Club to Gorgie. Our previous encounters this season have seen different outcomes. I don’t think anyone could’ve lived with us on that opening night at Tynecastle when we won 6-2. In contrast, Dundee did well to get the opening goals at Dens Park in January, and although I felt that we were nearing an equaliser, a late penalty put the game to bed.

I expect today’s game to be similar to that first game of the season in terms of openness and two teams setting out to win. That should make for an entertaining match and I hope that our fans will be celebrating at full time.

Enjoy the game, Robbie Neilson

SPRING BREAK This April, Big Hearts Supporters will collectively complete hundreds of miles, at a place of their choice, to raise funds and help reduce the main challenge on our doorstep: child poverty.

In the Gorgie/Dalry ward of Edinburgh – where Big Hearts Community Trust operates, the rate of child poverty is the highest across the city: 35%. That’s almost 2 out of 5 children.

Our ‘School’s Out’ project was created three years ago to offer local children free meals and engaging activities at the Stadium during the school holidays. Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, our charity has extended the project to run over the 5-months of school closure and beyond.

With over 1,500 relief parcels delivered so far, School’s Out has become a lifeline for many families in poverty living in the surroundings of Tynecastle Park.

On 23-25 April, the Virtual Kiltwalk Weekend will see thousands of Scots raise money for a cause close to their heart. 100% of the donations collected by Big Hearts Supporters will help fund the summer months of the School’s Out project, including more door-to-door deliveries and hopefully the return of group activities at the Stadium.

It is still time for Hearts’ fans to join our Kiltwalk team! There’s no better opportunity to show your support to the Club’s charity. For every £1 raised as part of the event, Big Hearts will receive an extra 50%, thanks to Sir Tom Hunter and The Hunter Foundation!

Big Hearts’ registered Kiltwalkers and their families will get to enjoy The Wee Jambo Jaunt – a Hearts themed scavenger hunt which can be completed wherever you are, with a chance to win some exciting prizes throughout the weekend.

BIG HEARTS DAY A look back at our first ever Big Hearts Day celebrations at Tynecastle Park, and what the event meant for our charity.

It was five years ago… As the crowd of fans were starting to fill Tynecastle Stadium for another Saturday afternoon of football, a small group of charity volunteers made their way to the concourses for the first time, handing out leaflets and free kids’ programmes. On every lips, the same message: ‘we are Big Hearts Supporters, sign-up to join us’. This was in 2016, the first ever Big Hearts Day!

than a week later, over 1500 Hearts fans had come forward to support our work, leading the way to the Big Hearts Supporters’ movement - a leading volunteering programme in Scottish football. Every day, our charity is able to change lives and make a difference to people most vulnerable thanks to dedicated volunteers, fundraisers, supporters – a community of people with big hearts.

Hearts beat Kilmarnock 1-0 with a goal from Jamie Walker at the 7th minute, and for the Club’s charity, a brand-new chapter was opened. Less

The Team for Me – Mark Wells

T

he summer of 1989 was my first visit to Tynecastle Park, for the FIFA U-16 World Championship Semi Final; Scotland v Portugal. It was the game before Scotland were beaten in the final by Saudi Arabia U-23s, allegedly, but that’s another story. It is, however, the day I fell in love with Tynecastle and Hearts. This day set the foundations for many years of despair, frustration, immense joy and hysteria. Now, over 30 years on, I would not change any of it. The range of emotions Hearts have put me through in one single match, never mind through my time supporting them, is unfathomable. I have travelled the length and breadth of Scotland singing, chanting and cheering the boys in maroon; but there is nothing that comes remotely close to how it feels to be at Tynecastle.

I started my supporting from the family enclosure in the Main Stand and one of my earliest memories is Glynn Snodin’s belter of a free kick v Slavia Prague in the 92/93 UEFA Cup. Having only just turned 9, my recount of it may be glorified but to this day I still feel like I was directly behind the ball and a lot closer than I was in reality. It is the roar that lives with me though; that Tynecastle roar, the unmistakeable noise of a Hearts goal, especially a big one. The bigger the goal the better the feeling. Funnily I was in a similar position a decade on when Austin McCann broke the net versus Celtic, that was wild.

My time in ‘The Shed’ was limited by age, I guess. The Wheatfield Stand, where I would later have my season ticket, was opened when I was 12. I do, however, have a few memories of being in there. The immense banter between the crowd and Henry Smith; I couldn’t quite get my head round this relationship and how a footballer on the park could respond so fondly to supporters whilst concentrating on the game. I was latterly at Dens Park the night he missed the penalty in his last game for Hearts. I also remember Andy Rhodes getting a hard time from The Shed; he was having a right laugh with us about him eating all the pies. To be fair to him he responded in good humour. Pies lead to another memory of The Shed. I must have either gone with, or met, one of my school friends for the game. We both had to climb to the back of the terrace where the “toilets” were. Anyone who has been there knows why they can’t be officially attributed the title “toilet”. On the way up we cut through a row trying to find the main stairwell. My friend mentioned that he had something on the sole of his shoe only for us to then hear another supporter shriek “Dad, someone stood on my pie!”. It is funny how things like that stay with you. I was also forever envious of the Gorgie Road flats backing onto the ground, behind what used to be the away end. The scarves, flags and supporters hanging out of windows on matchday used to intrigue me, wondering what it must have been like to live there and get to be part of Tynecastle. A stand in itself, but one where people live.

Until 1997, when I got my season ticket, I predominantly sat in the family enclosure in the Main Stand. I can still to this day close my eyes and picture walking through the turnstiles, smelling warm pies and Bovril before passing the kiosk on the right, getting to the bottom of the stairs

which took you up to the seats and finally being able to see the pitch. I remember plucking up the courage on a European night once and asking a Red Star Belgrade fan for a scarf swap. “You don’t want this one mate, it’s a Chelsea scarf”, replied the supporter in a broad Cockney accent. 90s football I suppose.

There were a few heart-breaking visits to Hampden, the Airdrie semi-final, the Rangers final and the game that Gazza pushed Robbo out of play right in front of us, before scoring a top-class goal in the “Neil McCann Final” at Celtic Park. I definitely chose the best of all seasons to finally get my season ticket, in 97/98; always remembered for that day at Celtic Park on 16th May 1998. I remember that season for more than just that, but the cup final is without doubt the best day of my years supporting Hearts, of that there is no question. 2006 and, in particular 2012, come close but there is so much about 97/98 that put it ahead. Quitongo’s injury time equaliser v Celtic, the plastic owl which sat on the stand above me in section A, the Hearts badge which used to be cut into the pitch and the fancy dress Gilles Roussets in the away end at East End Park just after Christmas; these are a few moments of that season that stick out. At half time the subs spotted the Roussets and started pinging balls into the crowd instead of warming up the sub goalie. At that time we were blessed with some real talent; Flogel, Adam, Salavatori, Fulton to name a few. But my favourite player was Colin Cameron. Rudi is the only Hearts player that has surpassed my feelings towards watching Mickey play. If he had managed to stay fit that year, winning the league may well have been realised. The noise from Tynecastle that season was unreal. Mark McKenzie’s pre-match playlist and post-match banter will live long in the memory. Songs like Bryan Adam’s ‘We’re Gonna Win’ and ‘Coco Jambo’ by Mr President were a weekly delight. This, together with Hearty Harry’s antics and the overall performance of the team that year, meant that Tynecastle was the place to be. To this day it still is. Every time I walk into the stadium, game or not, the hairs stand on the back of my neck as I relive the years gone by.

In my lifetime Tynecastle has changed remarkably, so much so it even changed its name a few times. It will, however, always be “Tynecastle Park”; a sentiment which I think is shared by the majority of supporters. The smell of the distillery, which went hand in hand with Tynie, is not as pungent as it once was, the terraces are long gone, but the magic is still there. Whether I was in the back seat of my parents’ car as a child, driving on the Western Approach or returning up the West Coast Main Line from Wolverhampton as a 27-year-old, I always eagerly anticipated that view of Tynecastle.

We, as fans, cannot wait to get back into Tynecastle and experience it all once more. Despite now living in Norfolk, England, I always get myself to a game when I return home. Ironically, they are usually away from home, but I always make a point of taking my children to the ground as well; to soak up a little history and tell them stories of times gone by. Only my eldest daughter Robyn has been into the ground for a game. Isaac, who has just turned 6, would have been this season had it not been for COVID-19. Now we can’t even get back to Edinburgh, never mind Tynecastle. They were both born in Norfolk, but they are without doubt Jambos. I look forward to them creating their own affiliation with the place as they realise just how important Tynecastle and Hearts are to me.

THE WALKERS OF TYNECASTLE

By David Speed

Jamie Walker’s fiftieth competitive goal, netted against Greenock Morton in our last home fixture, is indeed a fine accomplishment for a player who is not regarded as an out-and-out striker. Fewer than fifty have achieved this feat over the entire history of the club and, being only 27 years of age, Jamie will surely stretch this total even further. During his two spells with the club, the former Hearts’ Academy attacker has made 225 competitive appearances and he helped Hearts to win the Championship Division in 2014-15. After periods with Wigan Athletic and Peterborough United, Jamie returned to Tynecastle in June 2019 and, once again, his goals and creativity will drive what will hopefully be another successful challenge for the Championship title.

The name Walker is woven into the fabric of the club and has featured in so many classic periods for Hearts. John Walker was first to

16 WWW.HEARTSFC.CO.UK

make his mark. He was born in 1873 at Fortissat, a mining hamlet near Shotts, and was a pithead labourer on leaving school. John was also an outstanding footballer with Armadale, operating mainly at inside-right. His skill opened up the game and created chances, and after joining Hearts in February 1893, he rarely missed a scoring opportunity with 39 goals in 97 competitive matches. During his time at Tynecastle, John played three games for Scotland and he was a key-man as Hearts were Scottish Champions in 1894-95 and 1896-97. In fact, John was captain in the latter season and he was also a hero of the Scottish Cup Final victory over Hibernian in 1896. He moved to Liverpool in April 1898 with Tom Robertson for a joint fee of £350 and helped them to win the Football League for the first time in 1900-1901.

John had further success with Rangers and played for Greenock Morton and Ayr Parkhouse before emigrating to Canada.

Bobby Walker was the most accomplished playmaker in Britain before the Great War and when he retired in 1913, he was Scotland’s most capped player with 29 appearances, including a record 11 games against England.

Born in 1879 at Dalrymple Place in Edinburgh’s South-Side, Bobby was a Junior Internationalist with Dalry Primrose before signing for Hearts in April 1896. The time-served tinsmith played three games when the Championship was won in 1896-97 and during his distinguished career, Bobby helped Hearts to the runners-up position on three other occasions. His range of dribbling and passing skills always made his colleagues shine and he inspired the team to success in the Scottish Cup Finals of 1901 and 1906, while Bobby also played in the losing Finals of 1903 and 1907.

Bobby Walker spread the fame of the club more than any other player and even King Haakon of Norway specifically came to watch his skills, during Hearts’ first overseas tour in 1912. In September that year, Sir Harry Lauder set in motion a national testimonial and when Bobby finally retired in May 1913, he received 250 gold sovereigns and an inscribed pocket watch. Bobby liked a beer, but this was never held against him, because the midfield genius pulled Hearts out of difficult situations, time and time again.

Later a publican in Loanhead and Musselburgh, Bobby was proud to be a club director from 1920 to 1924, but sadly, in August 1930, at the age of only 51, Bobby died after a short illness. He had scored 145 goals in 389 competitive games and along the way, this brilliant footballer, modest gentleman, and a wonderful ambassador for Edinburgh, had raised the fame of The Heart of Midlothian Football Club to its highest ever level.

A second John Walker was recruited before the turn of the Century and he was noted as the first black player to appear for Hearts. His father came from Port of Spain in Trinidad, although John was born in Leith in 1876. He played junior football for Leith Thistle and Leith Primrose, prior to joining Second Division, Leith Athletic, in March 1898. John made an instant impact as a dashing outside-left and he was signed by Hearts in October 1898 for a fee of £50. It was said that, “his dodging, passing and power shooting left nothing to be desired,” but Baird and Blair proved better team players and John faded from the scene. In June 1899, he went to Lincoln City for £25, but did not settle and returned home in poor health. He had developed tuberculosis which took his life August 1900 at 24 years of age.

The brother of Hearts’ famous Internationalist, Alexander Walker was born in 1881 at Oliver Terrace, above the present Tynecastle Arms. “Sandy” was signed in April 1899 from Bainfield Athletic where he became a Junior International winger. He played many fine games for Hearts and even turned down a big move to Aston Villa in December 1902. In July 1903, Sandy went to Motherwell for £40 and a year later, he joined Brentford of the Southern League. The 5’6” wide-man suffered a severe knee injury with the London club in 1905 and came home to Scotland. Although he was a gas engineer to trade, Sandy helped operate his brother’s public houses, most notably the Ship Inn at Musselburgh. At the outbreak of the Great War, he joined the Royal Scots, but never left his homeland, because he contracted tuberculous pleurisy and died in May 1916 at Craigleith Military Hospital.

Roderick Walker was born at Buckhaven in 1881 and this tall and powerful full-back joined Hearts in August 1900 from the junior side, Buckhaven United. Although a Second XI Cup winner, Roddy moved to Aberdeen in 1902 and the “best back in the Northern League” was re-signed

by Hearts in June 1903. The Fifer was loaned to Motherwell in September that year and in May 1904, he joined Portsmouth of the Southern League. A rare tackler with both feet, Roddy came back from Portsmouth in May 1908, and brought order and experience to Hearts’ defence. He represented the Scottish

League against the Football League in March 1911, while in season 1911-12, Roddy was captain of Hearts. In April 1913, he was released after 105 competitive games and later played for York City. A Sergeant in the Royal Scots during the Great War, Roddy was wounded at the first Battle of the Somme, but earned the Military Medal for outstanding bravery. After the War, he returned to Buckhaven where Roddy opened a confectionary and was also engaged as Hearts’ scout in Fife.

As Hearts’ manager, Tommy Walker was the architect of the club’s finest teams that won every domestic trophy and played in European competition for the first time.

He also had a distinguished playing career with his passing, dribbling and shooting skills being acclaimed.

Tommy was born at Livingston Station in 1915 and joined Hearts from Linlithgow Rose in May 1932. He quickly became Britain’s most admired playmaker and in 1934, at the age of 19, Tommy won the first of 20 Full International caps. He also played for Scotland in League, Wartime and Unofficial Internationals and was always a target for English clubs. He was quick and alert around the penalty box and Hearts’ supporters relished his creative style and powerful shot. Including Wartime fixtures, the elegant attacker scored a remarkable total of 224 goals for Hearts in 408 competitive appearances and he assisted the maroons to runners-up position in the League in 1937-38 and to the Wartime Cup Final in 1941.

At the peak of his career, the Second World War took him away from the city and Tommy was a Captain in the Royal Signals. He played military football in Britain and overseas, and Tommy was also a guest player with Chelsea and Bradford Park Avenue. Following his return, Chelsea paid £6,000 for his transfer in September 1946. The gentleman footballer came back to Tynecastle in December 1948 as assistant manager to David McLean and he took full control in September 1951 on the death of the club’s respected manager.

Tommy then led Hearts through its finest era and in record breaking style, his teams won the League Championship twice; the Scottish Cup; and the Scottish League Cup four times.

The Queen awarded Tommy Walker an OBE in 1960 and he was arguably Hearts’ finest ever footballer, but unquestionably its greatest sportsman and ambassador.

After leaving Hearts in September 1966, Tommy worked with Dunfermline

Athletic and Raith Rovers, but his heart lay at Tynecastle, and in a very popular move, he returned as director in October 1974 and served on the board until his retirement in 1980. His contribution to the fame and reputation of the Hearts is unsurpassed.

Although he stood 5’7” and weighed only ten-stone, “Jimmy” Walker was always a threat with his electric pace on the wing, and his astute crossing ability. He was born in 1925 in Detroit, Michigan, USA, but his father was from Kirkcaldy and the family returned to Renfrew when Jimmy was six. He developed his football skill with the Boys Brigade; Stevens Works XI; and Renfrew Juniors. He then moved to Hearts in October 1944, during the Second World War, for a fee of £75. Jimmy went on to play 58 competitive matches for the club and he scored a creditable total of 24 goals. In November 1945, he was in the SFA Touring Party to Germany and in January 1946, Jimmy played for Scotland against Belgium at the age of 21. It was said that his speed gave Scotland a new dimension.

However, Hearts needed defenders and in April 1947, Jimmy was exchanged for Bobby Parker of Partick Thistle. He played for Thistle in the League Cup Final in October 1953 then had two years in the USA before return to Firhill and then finishing with Third Lanark. Jimmy subsequently made his home in the USA at Milwaukee.

Nicky Walker was born in 1962 at Aberdeen Maternity Hospital, but his home was in Aberlour where his esteemed family-owned bakeries were situated. His early career took him in a different direction, because Nicky proved to be an outstanding goalkeeper with a safe pair of hands and a commanding presence.

The 6’3” keeper broke through at Elgin City where his potential earned a lucrative transfer to Leicester City in May 1980. The City manager was Jock Wallace also took him to Motherwell and then Rangers in December 1983. Nicky was understudy to Chris Woods and had loan spells to Falkirk and Dunfermline Athletic before being lured to Hearts in August 1989 for £125,000.

He was back-up to Henry Smith for 18 months until Manager, Joe Jordan handed him the jersey in February 1991. After recovering from a severe facial injury, Nicky was loaned to Burnley in February 1992 and was recalled by Hearts in December that year. Even though he played for Scotland against Germany in March 1993, Nicky never fully relegated the evergreen Smith and when Tommy McLean took over as manager, he was transferred to Partick Thistle in December 1994. He made 56 competitive appearances for Hearts and later played for Aberdeen, Ross County and Inverness Caledonian Thistle.

Hearts

On Tour The 1950’s Tours

T

hroughout the most successful decade in the Club’s history, manager Tommy Walker forged close bonds between his talented players by taking them on six post-season tours to destinations as far apart as the USA, South Africa and Australia. This season, I’m going to take a look at the memorabilia associated with Hearts’ tours of the 1950’s.

HEART OF MIDLOTHIAN 21

H

earts flew overnight from Prestwick on 10 May 1960 and included six members of the party who had never flown before, amongst them Assistant Trainer Donald McLeod and Danny Ferguson. The team arrived safely in Toronto having flown overnight and were met at the airport by the ever dependable George Anderson, the Secretary of the Canadian FA and organiser of the tour. Having got Hearts settled in at the luxurious Royal York Hotel – still going strong with over 1,400 rooms – the team relaxed and were able to acclimatise.

Johnny Harvey had the boys training in the morning of their first full day in Canada but due to torrential rain, the team was not allowed to train on the pitch at the Varsity Stadium. Hearts met their first opponents Manchester United that evening. But the initial contact wasn’t on the football field; rather, it was at a …. ahem … party in a brewery. Both Hearts and United were guests of Carlings Brewers who were prominent sponsors of Canadian sport at the time.

On Friday, Hearts were the guests of General Motors of Canada at their plant in Oshawa just outside Toronto. Matt Busby was also a guest as the team was shown around the state-of-theart production line which churned out fifty cars per hour. In the afternoon, the players split up. The team to face United the following day trained separately whilst the rest of the squad, bolstered by a couple of local players had a bounce game with a local club, winning 1-0.

Finally, on Saturday 14 May, Hearts faced Manchester United at the Varsity Stadium before 17,349 fans. What’s notable from the contemporary reports is that there was a marked difference of opinion about the quality of the game from those watching. The Montreal Gazette thought the game was poor with “few thrills on either side with the first 20 minutes producing dull soccer”. Yet the Toronto Globe and Mail called the game “one of the most exciting seen locally for many years”, a view echoed by the Toronto Globe where Scott Young called it “the most exciting soccer I have ever seen and some of the best”.

The story of the game was one of Hearts domination but missed chances. Ian Crawford was the first culprit, missing two sitters. Then Willie Bauld got into the action, slicing when he should have scored and then lobbing over the bar when it was easier to score. After 22 minutes, United made Hearts pay.

A slip by George Thomson allowed Alex Dawson to open the scoring and there was no further scoring in the first half. Hearts equalised from the penalty spot in the 51st minute with George Thomson making amends for his earlier error. But midway through the second half, Albert Quixall set up Johnny Giles and the Irishman put United back in front. Hearts kicked on and levelled again eight minutes later with Bobby Blackwood slipped in behind United’s defence where he rounded Harry Gregg and slotted home.

Blackwood thought he’d won it a few minutes later as he fired home but was unluckily adjudged offside and Hearts had to settle for a draw.

The Ontario Soccer Football Association issued a disappointing eight page programme for the match.

You might recall that when Hearts played in Toronto in 1958, I suspected that the programme had been sponsored by Eaton’s, Canada’s largest chain of department stores. Well, they are very prominent here too with only three adverts over the eight page

22 WWW.HEARTSFC.CO.UK

they would be facing the “Ontario All Stars”.

But the programme suggests, for the first time, that our opponents might be Burnley instead. That was the way it turned out, as we’ll see in due course, but it seems amazing at this distance of time that having arrived in Canada, Hearts still didn’t know for sure who they would be facing.

programme, all for … Eaton’s. Even if they weren’t formally sponsoring the programme, it certainly looks as though their involvement would have covered the cost of producing it.

The maroon front cover gives top billing to Hearts as “Scottish League and Scottish League Cup Winners” although, strangely, the cover photograph chosen is from a match between Manchester City and Spurs, neither of which would feature in this game. Pages two and three focus on Hearts , dubbed “The Triumphant Team from Tynecastle” by writer Matt Dodds. He welcomes the team and congratulates them on their successes of the previous season noting that the club “worthily represents the best of Scottish soccer”. He recalls the visit of two years previously and that “the brand of soccer [Hearts] served up won the admiration of fans from coast to coast and in the USA”.

There are then small pen pictures of most of the squad alongside small photographs of those players with the exception, for some reason, of Jimmy Murray and Gordon Smith.

The next page has a welcome from the Ontario SFA for both clubs and a team group of Manchester United. The advert for the forthcoming game in Toronto is interesting because, as we saw in the last programme, Hearts were under the impression that when they returned to Toronto on 11 June,

Page five has the squad lists with some famous names in both line-ups. Gordon Marshall, Gordon Smith and Willie Bauld lining up against Johnny Giles, Bobby Charlton and Dennis Viollet would have had mouths watering amongst football fans all over Canada and the USA. Then there’s two pages on the Manchester United squad with pen pictures of their squad and the similar small photos to those for Hearts. Charlton “hails from Ashington and comes from the well-known soccer family Milburn”.

Other than that, the three Eaton’s adverts completed the issue. You could buy men’s summer shoes or cardigans of soft warm hardy botany wool.

More from Canada next time.
