In 1880, at Tynecastle Park Gorgie, the team achieved their largest win with a score of 21-0 against Anchor in the FA Cup.
The club’s heaviest defeat came eight years later as Hearts were beaten by Vale of Leven 8-1 in the Scottish Cup. John Robertson is leading the club’s all-time goal-scoring chart, with the left winger netting 214 goals for the club.
