It's something that has never been covered in any of the Hibs history books K, so I'm flipped if I know how I'd heard the Mrs Hart story - obviously there is something in it. I'd be interested to see the EEN's of the time.

The Mrs Hart story is the one.
Go to the National Library of Scotland mate, ask for a years Edinburgh Evening News at a time. Great reading.

White sleeves.
No one actually knows the real story of the formation of Hearts. There's at least two versions and maybe 1 or 2 variations on each of those versions. Some of their "history" is based on tales one of their captains told a newspaper sometime in the 1920's - pinch of salt required for me when getting info from some auld jakie jambo.
Anyway the reason no-one knows the real story about the formation of Hearts is because no one gave a fcuk about preserving it.
