Book Description
My wife couldn’t understand why I left her, on the day our first child was due to be born, to go to the Scottish Cup Final in 1986. We lived in Aberdeen at the time. Granted, I took her point it was 140 miles from our home to Hampden and she wanted me to be in the Granite City for the birth. And seven days earlier she had been in severe pain whilst I was watching Hearts throw the league championship away at Dens Park. But I pointed out that while she could have more babies (and she did) Hearts might never get to another Scottish Cup Final (they did). I put her resultant wailing and threats of divorce down to the hormones – well, it can affect people in different ways. My own wailing came after a 3-0 defeat for the Jambos at the hands of Aberdeen.

Okay, I may not have been the perfect father. Okay, I did miss my youngest daughter’s fourth birthday as a result of being in Madrid to see Hearts being hammered by Atletico. And my older daughter’s twelfth birthday was spent in the thronging streets of Edinburgh watching Hearts parade the Scottish Cup in 1998. Fair points, I concede. But I know there are thousands of other people for whom Follow The Hearts is more than a way of life – it is life. This book is for them.
