You must have had some hangover the next morning.

Belhaven Heavy - 16 pence a pint in Bennet's Bar up by the King's Theatre in 1974. Lovely.



(Or so I've been told. )

I was only seventeen at the time and could drink like a horse.

I still have the Evening News "Gilzean" caricature poster safely tucked away in the attic.

Pint of Tankard in November 1974 = 22p, with lager at 25p and this was in my local in Bethnal Green, London. 10 No6 ciggies, cost less than 10p, early 1974 in Reddish, Greater Manchester.

For some reason, those prices always stuck with me, may have been my lifestyle then.

it was consulate for me the first few years, hoping my parents would just smell the menthol
also because there was green on the packet

When I look back, I regret coming back on the bus and going straight off to meet a young lady at "Nicky Tams".

Should have went and watched the team parading the cup.

I foolishly thought that I'd get many more chances to see us parade the cup.


Although later that night I couldnae have cared less about a cup!

We got away mega sharpish after they Pat held the cup up and the three of us just sailed through any Glesga traffic and we were in nobles at half 6

Don't really remember much of the night but after a Leith pub crawl hud me in ma bed for twenty four hours efter it!

Me too, tucked away in the same place. Well I mean my attic, not your attic.

That was a real purple patch for hibs, I remember us beating airdrie away 5-2, and we pumped Ayr as well, then the New Year's Day game, and hibs were flying.....then it went tits up once jb broke his leg....the ups and downs of football eh?....but nothing will take the memories of nov,dec 1972, and the start of 1973

Great times indeed. Think it was actually 6-2 v. Airdrie and I think we won 5-2 v. Dun. Utd around about then too.

We also totally outclassed United, in Dundee and ironically the first fixture after that disastrous East Fife match, was a repeat and we were beaten 3-1. The only plus, Des Bremner made his debut in said game, in Onion's RB position.

i can only remember the large scorelines, although having been at both games i have no recollection of how the games went, i can only just remember how the game with st.johnstone went a couple of weeks ago :( rosenberg 9-2(i think) was another one around that time, also a game at pinkcastle, think we won by 7 :)

IIRC, Hammy's nickname was "Cowboy" - don't know why.
Maybe because he had the gait of a gunslinger
