notes

NK notes that Jerry Suter scored one but unfortunately he's not in the starting team line up. At least for the time being, we've included Jerry Suter as a substitute player. An odd presentation in the EEN states that “with the exception of Fairweather, Hearts will play their ordinary team” then proceeds to list 1-10 as outlined. Does this mean Fairweather was a reserve? We've stuck him in at #11 anyway.
