David Mackay is one of the most popular and richest Physicist who was born on November 14, 1934 in Edinburgh, Scotland.
George Best (1946–2005), of Manchester United, one of Tottenham’s fiercest rivals in the 1960s, described Mackay as “the hardest man I have ever played against – and certainly the bravest”.
Mackay supported Hearts as a boy. He signed as a professional in 1952, initially on a part-time basis as he also worked as joiner. Mackay was given his first team debut in November 1953. He would be paired with John Cumming at wing half, which was to become the core of the team. Mackay was a talented all-round player; a strong tackler, physically fit and had good technique with the ball. Cumming’s Iron Man nickname says much of his determination. Despite his commitment he retained control of his temper and was never booked in his career. Cumming was the only player to collect medals for all seven of the trophies Hearts won under manager Tommy Walker. “He never had a bad game. It was either a fairly good game or an excellent game,” said Mackay later of his former teammate. Both went on to become full Scotland internationalists while playing for Hearts.
