The grassroots of Heart of Midlothian Football Club date back to the year 1874. Their habitual stomping ground lies in Tynecastle Park, Scotland - a monument of many a footballing battle.
Our current collection of ball-wielding wizards stands at a respectable 33, the mean age being 27. Quite a mélange of youthful exuberance and aged wisdom, one might note.
According to Transfermarkt, the economic assessment of this cadre of players arrives at a figure around £14m. A tidy sum, to be sure, but one reflecting the breadth of talent marshalled by the Hearts.
Heart of Midlothian's campaign this year sees them juggle the responsibilities of two competitions. Their endeavor in the Premiership finds them sitting comfortably in second place - not top, but an honorable position nonetheless. Concurrently, their League Cup aspirations were curtailed in the Second Round, a regrettable outcome but a silver lining to the footballing cloud as it frees up their collective focus for the Premiership.
