They would go on to lift the title, a historic event, five points ahead of their nearest rivals Abercorn.Promotion to the top flight however, depended on the outcome of an annual general meeting (this being during a period before automatic promotions). Whilst a decision to admit Ayr to the top flight was initially passed by the required majority, the delegate from St. Mirren complained that this would be at the expense of their team, who had already committed to a top-flight wage bill for the following season.Extraordinarily an u-turn was made at the expense of Ayr, with the matter of automatic promotion being suspended from discussion until next year. Indeed, it would take another season and another 2nd division title for Ayr to eventually be admitted to the top flight.This rare and historically important medal comes from the first title victory, a pivotal point in the club's history.
ALFIE CONN SR. OF INVERESK ATHLETIC F.C., E.O.S.C. GOLD MEDAL, 1944 the obverse with crossed enamel flags and blank shield shaped cartouche, the reverse with inscription, in nine carat gold, in box Note: Alfred 'Alfie' Conn (1926-2009) was a Scottish footballer most famously remembered alongside Willie Bauld and Jimmy Wardhaugh as part of Heart of Midlothian’s Terrible Trio. This formidable attacking three proved to be the vital spark in the club’s iconic and (to this day) most successful team of the 1950s.Conn was born in Prestonpans, East Lothian. He joined Hearts from Inveresk Athletic in 1944, making his debut later that year in a 4-0 victory over Dumbarton. He went on to establish himself as a first team regular during the 1948-49 season, linking up with Bauld and Wardhaugh to form that attacking partnership for the first time.Conn’s energetic style and powerful shot complemented the cerebral play of Bauld and dribbling skill of Wardhaugh. Indeed, their first match as a forward trio saw a defiant 6-1 victory over East Fife.The Terrible Trio continued to score freely in the following five seasons, Conn netting an impressive 102 goals. Hearts swiftly became regular top four finishers, yet defensive issues meant they failed to pick up any silverware.This would soon change however, when in the 1954-55 season, Hearts defeated Motherwell 4-2 to lift the Scottish League Cup for the first time in their history.The following season, Conn scored the vital goal in a 3-1 victory over Celtic, lifting the 1956 Scottish Cup, a first for the club in 50 years. He would end this season at his peak, aged 29 and with a career best of 29 goals from 41 games. This didn’t go unnoticed, and he would receive his only international call up two weeks after the final, having represented a Scottish select XI on three previous occasions.Whilst he would suffer a serious ankle injury the following season, he would continue to make sporadic appearances for the club, even playing his part in their iconic 1957-58 season triumph. This was the second of only four times Hearts have won the title, romping it with 62 points to Rangers 49.In total, the Hearts ‘Hall of Fame’ inductee would score 221 goals in 408 games. Weight of the medal is 6.86g (additional photo added)

Former Hibs manager Willie McCartney said of Gibson that he was ‘The greatest of my, and any generation following, in Scottish football’. Steve Bloomer of Derby County and England thought he was ‘the greatest footballer I ever saw’. Harry Wood summed him up as ‘Pavlova in football boots’.Rangers won this trophy after defeating hearts 2-0 in the second replay.
