Whilst being absolutely brilliant viewing it rammed home many things. One of which is how beautiful our club's strip is in its simplicity. Keep it simple. Green with white sleeves and reversed for away games when required.

If Amit or Big Frank are reading can I suggest a fund raiser event ?
A sponsored bike ride Led by Mark? Beaumont cycling dude visiting all the birthplaces addresses of the Famous Five.

Just watched it on catch up and what and that was tremendous viewing.
Proud of my club and what it has achieved and the great players who have graced our fine club.

They won the first of their titles in 1947/8, and were 3rd in 1948/9.
Hibs missed winning the title in 1949/50 by one point to Rangers having drawn the last game of the league season 0-0 at Ibrox.
The following season 1950/51 - Hibs last game of the season was a 3-1 win over Celtic. Two days earlier, 40,000+ attended ER to see Hibs beat the previous season's champions Rangers by 4-1. Hibs won the league ten points clear of Rangers in second place. Only two points for a win in those days.
The following season - 1951/2 Hibs retained their title.
It was the following season - 1952-3 that Hibs lost their title to Rangers. Both ended up on 43 points and Rangers won it on goal average, Hibs having the better goal difference. Robbed of a third consecutive league title according to my late dad.
He would have enjoyed the programme very much.

Playing at ER " down the slope" was every Leith laddies dream but the " Famous Five" was a case of " who ? " till a year or two later . We had no idea the heights they would rise to .
With that in mind am sure you will understand when I say I cannot remember very much , if anything, about the game except getting a big hug from Jimmy Kerr ( he was my uncle's pal who had played for the Hibs in 1920's/30's )
Always will be grateful to Tam Preston and Erich Schaedler for letting me regularly see behind the scenes in later years !!
Lest we forget the full ( recognised ) 1stXI was

Shaw
Finnigan

Kean

As I said I was " Not Hibs Class"
Was playing for the opposition ( a club from "Weegie Land " !! ) being a " part timer"
Repeating myself at that time none of us had an inkling tese five guys would become Legends in their own lifetime
Hope there will be a DVD of the Alba programme

Just incredible time to play for or support hibs. It would seem injuries stopped hibs completely dominating Scottish football or we would have seen records set which would I doubt be bettered. Seen a photo of the team in 68 with the like of Stanton stein,Cormack,marinello etc and if we had the money to keep that squad together that would have become some team. Great documentary.
