Description
Sportswriters Rob Robertson and Paul Kiddie watched closely as events unfolded at Tynecastle and have been at the centre of what has been the most turbulent period in the club's history. Now, in this sensational new book, they exclusively reveal the fatal mistakes which led to Hearts plunging into a debt of almost 20 million. As well as focusing on the club's current troubles, the authors also remind us of the magnificent memories the Tynecastle ground has provided Hearts fans with over the years. Amongst those sharing their Tynecastle tales and takes on the current traumas are Hearts legends John Robertson, Craig Levein, Jim Jefferies, Gary Mackay, Steve Fulton, Alex Young, Drew Busby and Jim Cruikshank. Joining them are top referee Hugh Dallas, snooker champion Stephen Hendry, politicians and television personalities of a maroon-and-white persuasion - and not forgetting the ordinary fans. In "Hearts: Great Tynecastle Tales", fans and players alike reminisce over past glories and contemplate the future for their club as it enters a new and uncertain phase.
