David Templeton is not bothered abut the cold spell as he is still enjoying the warm glow which comes with scoring against your fiercest rivals. The goal against Hibs helped him pick up the Young SPL player of the month for November. He scored in three of Hearts' four game last month, all of which were won 2-0. Looking back at the spectacular goal in the Edinburgh derby, Templeton said: "It was brilliant, to turn round and see the fans was the best feeling I've had in my career so far. I hope the next few Edinburgh derbies I can do that as well because it helps my confidence so much and I took that into the next game against Celtic." Templeton credits the return of manager Jim Jefferies to Tynecastle with taking his career to the next level. He went on: "I knew about his record of bringing along some great young players first time around at Hearts so I was happy when I heard about the appointment. He's been good with me. He brought through wingers like Allan Johnston and Neil McCann and it's great to know that players like that got the chance under him. When I was younger I liked playing up front, I used to want to go past everyone and do everything myself, try and score goals. I wanted all the glory about scoring goals. Obviously the older I got, managers wanted to start trying me out wide because I liked going past people. It's probably the best thing for me, if I was playing striker now I wouldn't be doing so well." |
