In fact, his first ever match was at Easter Road, where he was taken in the 1920s as a small child by a Hibs supporting relative.
He said he stopped going in the early 70s because of the sectarianism that had creeped in to some of the Hearts support (ER was not immune either), as it totally disgusted him.
