WORK OF HE-ART STUNS GRAHAM!
Stunned Hibs fan Graham Swan returned from holiday straight into a Hearts-stopping experience - for "pals" of the football mad Hibee had painted the side of his house...IN MAROON AND WHITE STRIPES!
Not only that, they had emblazoned the Hearts crest and players' names on his wall.
Graham, 33, was hit by the Heart work when he returned from Florida yesterday with wife Michelle and daughter Steffany, four
The lifelong Hibs fan said: "I'm gutted. This is an act of wanton vandalism.
"I had been planning to have the house painted next week but I'll now start as soon as possible."
The BT technician added: "At least, they didn't paint over my green door."
Wife Michelle, 33, a health service worker, took the paint job in good part. She said: "I don't like football but this is a good laugh."
But daughter Steffany, did not share her mum's view. She said: "I'm a Hibee and it's yukky."
Alan Chapman, responsible for the prank, was outside the house in Edinburgh's Bellvue Gardens, to see the family's reaction.
Rangers fan Alan, 41, a painter and decorator, said: "We have been thinking about doing this for three months No doubt Graham will do something to get his own back so I'll have to watch my back for the next 10 years.
"At least, he can't do the same to my house - I live in a flat."
