Hearts' Greatest Games by Mike Smith
From the thousands of matches ever played by Heart of Midlothian, stretching from the club's Victorian foundation to the Vladimir Romanov era, here are 50 of Hearts' most glorious, epochal and thrilling games of all! Expertly presented in evocative historical context, and described incident-by-incident in atmospheric detail, Hearts Greatest Games offers a terrace ticket back in time, taking in everything from the club's first national honour, the Scottish Cup win of 1891, to challenging the Old Firm in 2011. An irresistible cast list of club legends - Dave Mackay, Craig Levein and Gary Mackay, John Robertson, Tommy Walker and Willie Bauld - springs to life in a thrilling selection of hard-fought derby matches, Scottish League clinchers and cup exploits, peaking in the glorious 1950s. In all, a journey through the highlights of Hearts history which is guaranteed to make any fan's heart swell with pride.
Mike Smith is the author of Follow the Hearts, a personal account of being a Jambo, and Hearts: The Diary of an Incredible Season, published days after the club had lifted their seventh Scottish Cup; he also writes for the Hearts programme. A devoted father of two and grandfather of three, Smith lives in Dalkeith - in the heart of Midlothian.
