Popular Post Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted August 19, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 Marcus Fraser is a legend!My brother and I used to have season tickets, but gave them up when my son was born as I couldn't justify going on a Saturday. My son is old enough and decided this season he wanted to go, so my brother, my son and I got season tickets again. We got selected in the ballot to go to the Hearts game where my son said his favourite players were Main and Fraser. Said his most favourite was Fraser. After the game he said he wanted boots like Fraser wore in the game. I hunted high and low on the internet to find them to see if did kids sizes, to find nothing. I contacted the club to see if they could help me figure out the model. They said they spoke to him, where he said they were old and no longer can get them online. Yesterday a package came for my son with the boots in it with his name on them and Marcus' autograph. He was over the moon. I contacted him directly to thank him. He was so nice to respond and when speaking to the club they said it was all Marcus' idea. Solid player and a true gent. I just wanted to share a positive since there has been a lot of negative about the club. 26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More should be made of this, local press involvement maybe? Edited August 20, 2021 by faraway saint 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More should be made of this, local press involvement maybe? For his football team he now wants to wear number 22 because of it all too. Marcus Didn't need to do anything. Didn't even need to reply to me directly when I tracked him down on social media to thank him. He is a true gentleman. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More should be made of this, local press involvement maybe? It’s a great gesture and story like you say.Makes a nice change to get a ‘Boot in a box’ from the club compared to the recent ‘boot in the stones’ they’ve been dishing out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainstand Sweary Mob Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Same here. I was already preparing my 'f**k off Jack Ross' response. Lovely story; what a gent.Sorry for worrying you all. If Jack Ross was to come in for him I think my son would rock up and kick him in the nuts with his Marcus Fraser boots. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pondsman Posted August 20, 2021 Report Share Posted August 20, 2021 Great story. And just confirms everything we've seen from Marcus since he joined the club. Always 100% committed to the club on and off the field. A model professional! As others have said, it's gestures like this that make a supporter for life. Hope your youngster enjoys wearing the boots. He'll remember how he got them for many years. COYS!! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
