We went to a few games with him. Pleasure to meet you.

Likewise , you can’t beat a bit of history.

That pitch, though. Unbelievable. And that was in January. Still three more months to play on it.

Funny. I have no memory of Arthur Mann, whatsoever. And I can remember some of our lesser luminaries from that era well. But just a blank on him.

An ex Hearts player.Fondly remembered by Hearts fans from that era.
I loved the bell ringing after the third goal.
Helen couldn't have missed many games as you can here it at most games back then.

You could always tell when the match was really boring, because the lads at the back of the Kippax would start chanting "Helen, Helen, ring your bell, Helen...ring your bell!"
And she would, too.

Colin’s movement for his goals eerily reminiscent of Kev. Not sure how KDB would have handled that pitch, though

That team should have won more trophies. We were underachievers even back then.

Great to hear Helen’s bell ringing.

Its interesting what we remember, i actually don't remember the game in question, and have to think hard about the past, i suppose we remember certain details, which affected us personally, but the seasons roll into one for me these days. Some of the games mentioned i remembered, Chelsa CWC SF, Arsenal FA CUP, but it gets difficult without checking up. Who could forget Helen, like many, i once ended up on a coach with Helen, it was like having my mum with us.
But i did sing with everyone else, Helen ring your bell.
