The club you've cheered on as a child, which your family has supported for generations, whose colours you have dressed in every Saturday. How would you feel? This is his story of Heart of Midlothian, Edinburgh's oldest football club, and the 8,000 heroic fans (or Jambos, as they're affectionately known), who donated their own money to help rescue 'the boys in maroon'. Former Chair of the Foundation of Hearts Ian Murray here chronicles the unprecedented story of the turmoil and uncertainty that the club battled in the fight against liquidation. This book honours Hearts fans and their sheer determination to rescue their beloved club from the brink of extinction and raise it back up to the top of Scottish football. This is our story, this is our song...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem data-sleek-node-id=\"YU7nY0\"\u003eIf it wasn’t for Ian – for this man’s determination and drive – we’d be dead. Without the fans digging deep and providing the club with their hard earned money we would have sunk, simple as that. Not only that, they got Ann Budge involved, an experienced businesswoman and a big Hearts fan who would allow a longer term transition to fan ownership.\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong data-sleek-node-id=\"2mFmVk\"\u003eJohn Robertson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- Why You'll Love This Ebook --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy You'll Love This Ebook\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReal stories from people at the heart of their communities.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCelebration of resilience, survival, and human connection.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished by Luath Press, Scotland's leading independent publisher.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA moving collection of lives that shaped Scotland.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\u003c!-- About the Author --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-sleek-node-id=\"kuqjzP\"\u003eIAN MURRAY was born in Edinburgh in 1976.
