Player Of The Year Dance 2004

   

The 2004 Player of the year dance took place at the Imperial Hotel Blackpool on the 29th of May. Hearts fans from all over the world came and as usual the event was a great success and was well supported by the Edinburgh Supporters clubs including the Orwell, Mill and Robertson's. Although some of them seemed to take their time getting through the crowds of Hen Nights and Stag doo's staggering through Blackpool at 8 o'clock in the evening.

The day started of with the annual challenge match for the Arthur Mann Memorial Trophy which was won by Manchester Hearts 3-2. This was won for the fifth time out of six for Manchester who had Neil Pointon guesting, with Henry Smith in goals for Edinburgh.

A number of former players were in attendance. As well as Neil and Henry there was Bobby Kirk, Willie Duff and Freddie Glidden.

Craig Gordon's framed jersey was won by George Hanley, who very graciously put it up for auction, with proceeds being donated to the Save Our Hearts fund. It was sold for £200 to Duncan Lindsay, who had flown over from the USA for the weekend, especially for the dance.
