    Skácel is a great. I met him at the ice hockey in Edinburgh once and he was such a down to earth and nice guy.
    I still don't know why no hearts fan ever has learnt how to say his name correctly, it's skácel (skaatsel) and not skačel (skachel)...no 'ch' sound.
    Nice video.

    LEGEND never forget the cup final against Hibs met his father mother and his girlfriend in the boozer before the game. I announced to the pub THIS IS RUDIs DAD. Just about the whole pub dropped to its knees and started bowing clapping n cheering. The family were overwhelmed with the outpouring of love from the, hundreds in the boozer. Grown men woman and children thanking the dad and family they were in tears. I'm sure they'll never forget that day not jus fir the score but FOR love and admiration shown. It was up there for me when I had a few pints with Dave Mckay a few year earlier. Great video great day great man great family. SECTION N will never die. Nawty Bois ftw. 😊👍

    As a Panathinaikos FC fan i remember his days with our team whilst on loan to us from Marseille. We had relatively big expectations for him to deliver and merge with a very strong Panathinaikos team back then who were in the champions League competition year in year out and had in their pocession the majority of Greek player's who contributed to Greece's success at lifting the Euro 2004 trophy. Unfortunately Rudi didn't live up to expectations in the end and was bang average for us in a team full of quality players, but he did an exceptional job in Scotland for Hearts nevertheless!💪🏾
