As we reach number one on our countdown, it only makes sense for the most memorable game of my life to also be the most memorable Edinbugh Derby ever, the derby to end all derbies if you will. Hearts triumphed by four goals over their counterparts at Hampden in the 2012 Scottish Cup final. This …

2. Heart of Midlothian 2-0 Hibernian
On the 30th March 2014, Hibernian came to Tynecastle with a chance to do the unthinkable: send Hearts down to the Championship. Of course, their fans took full advantage of this and coined the now infamous phrase ‘relegation party’. They turned up in full party mode, with blow up palm trees, party hats and even …
3. Heart of Midlothian 2-2 Rangers
Seeing your team lift a trophy simply doesn’t happen every day, and neither does a last minute equaliser from two goals down… and yet both happened on May 2nd 2015 as Heart of Midlothian celebrated their rampant Ladbrokes Championship win with a somewhat mixed draw against the team that ultimately finished third in what many …
4. Seattle Seahawks 27-24 San Francisco 49ers
We return back across the pond for number four, with the Seattle Seahawks’ pulsating overtime defeat of their rivals the 49ers. This game took place during the excessively inconvenient ‘Monday Night Football’ slot, which meant it kicked off at around 1:30am UK time. The fixture pitted two teams in good form against each other, and …

5. Heart of Midlothian 4-0 Celtic
Number five in our countdown marks the first (and last) time a Craig Levein team will make an appearance. Indeed, this game was perhaps the infamous former Hearts manager’s finest moment during his second spell in charge in the capital. A buoyant Celtic team arrived at Tynecastle Park on the morning of Sunday 17th December …
6. Heart of Midlothian 10-0 Cowdenbeath
No, it’s not a typo, our sixth game is genuinely a match where a team won by a margin of 10 goals. I know it seems difficult to envisage, but there was actually a time when Heart of Midlothian were quite good. So good in fact, that in March 2015 they annihilated Cowdenbeath in a …
7. Seattle Seahawks 10-9 Minnesota Vikings
Number seven in the countdown comes from the National Football League over in the US, as we travel back to January 2016 as the Seattle Seahawks take on the Minnesota Vikings in the annual playoffs. Much like our previous entry, this game was definitely one for the purists, with a real lack of much quality …

8. Heart of Midlothian 1-0 Auchinleck Talbot
The first entry into this countdown may come as some surprise to many, and some others may have even forgotten that this game ever happened. Alas, on a freezing cold day in January 2012, we find a half-empty Tynecastle Park awaiting a routine Scottish Cup victory over part-time opponents. Now this was hardly a classic, …
