Strangely reminiscent of a similar edifice under construction in West Edinburgh.

Great thread. Love the old pics of Easter Road 👍
The team was still full of established internationals and the youngsters like Jordan and Frank Gray were hardly plucked from obscurity. The only unknowns were the sub goalie and Ellam. Lorimer is bull****ting. Remember that night well. Hibs were awesome, just couldnae score.
I once spoke with Allan Clarke (Paul Reaney was also there) about this game, when in the hospitality at Elland Road some years back. And whilst it wasn't as one sided as Lorimer paints it. They also mentioned it was a younger/less experienced side Revie put out. And he did say Revie's eye was on the league championship not Europe (or at least the UEFA Cup). The keepers were 3rd/4th choice I think with Harvey and Stewart just signed from Ayr Utd being 1st and 2nd that season.
There seems to be some truth in this as the team he fielded either side of this game for the league had Harvey, Madeley, Jones, Hunter & McQueen in all of which played 30+ league games that year. And 3 of these played in the first leg.
Almost certainly the queue at the Waverly for the 1958 cup final v Clyde.Attachment 19698

Sorry if that was overkill just some of my favourites
I’m not old enough to remember but the site I seen the photo on said 26p too.
Shame these stations have all gone, they wouldn’t have needed to ruin Edinburgh and bankrupt it with the trams and the trains actually would have taken us somewhere useful.
