Hearts FC Personalised Football Diary
Fantastic Diary Gifts for Hearts Fans!
Heart of Midlothian FC was formed in 1886 and named after a local dance hall in Edinburgh that had taken its name from the novel ‘The Heart of Midlothian‘, written by Sir Walter Scott. Often shortened to Hearts FC, the football club enjoyed enormous early success, winning two Scottish Championships and four Scottish FA Cups before the 1920s. Although further top flight titles and several cups have been won by the Jam Tarts since the Second World War, the domination of the Old Firm - aided by their better financial position - has been difficult for Hearts FC to compete against. However, in 2006, Hearts became one of the few clubs to have finished in second place during recent years and their entertaining football continues to enthral supporters and pundits alike.
Our Personalised Hearts FC Diaries are a great gift idea for any fan of the Jam Tarts. Not only do they come in a useful A5 size and include the option to start from the month of your choice, they also feature twelve special match reports from the past fifty years. These reproduced newspaper articles are fascinating reads that will remind Hearts FC supporters of some of the club’s most glorious moments.
Diary Highlights
The Personalised Hearts FC Diaries include reports on games from European competition, domestic cups and also the league. They additionally cover three stunning derby wins against local rivals Hibernian , from 1990, 2000 and 2004 respectively.
The European games featured in this popular Diary Gift include the first of two drawn ties against Saragossa in 1966, the 5-0 thrashing of Lokomotiv Leipzig in 1976 and the 3-2 victory against VfB Stuttgart in 2000. The A5 Diary also incorporates a special write-up of the 1-0 win against Bayern Munich from 1989, which still rates as one of the best European results the club has enjoyed. Not only were the Jam Tarts given just a 66-1 chance of winning the tie by the bookies, the German side would not even be afforded a shot on target during the game.
Another highlight of this fabulous Football Diary is the newspaper coverage written on two of the club’s most exciting Scottish Cup victories. In 1998, Hearts beat Rangers 2-1 at Celtic Park, which enabled manager and ex-player Jim Jeffries to raise the trophy. In 2006, a 1-1 draw against Gretna in normal time led to a tense penalty shoot-out to decide who won the cup. The Jam Tarts would eventually emerge victorious, earning the first piece of silverware for the club in eight years.
