The night before Hampden!!!

[Aitcheffsee]

'Twas the night before Hampden when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The Hibs scarfs were hung in the bedrooms with care,
And Hibs shirts all ironed and hung on a chair

The children were nestled all snug in their beds;
While dads and big brothers were all thinking ahead
Of tomorrow's big game and of who Stubbsy might start
Conrad Logan in goals they were sure he'd play a big part.

Lewis Stevenson on the left flank , David Gray on the right
Behind them Paul Hanlon with all of his might
Beside him Darren McGregor and Liam Fontaine
Both built like a massive old fashioned steam train.

Then Fraser Fyvie brought into the ruck
Complimented by the skilled touches of Dylan McGeouch
And what can we say about that lad John McGinn
I truly don't know where I should begin

Jason Cummings our striker out on the left
Anthony Stokes Is on fire with a touch oh so deft.
The subs Oxley, Keatings and Boyle didn't start
Gunnarsson, Dagnall,Henderson and that man we call Bart

In the 3rd minute Stokes raced towards the Hun goal
And dispatches a shot into the net it did roll
The HIBEES in the East stand arose just as one
It looked like Stokes could score goals for fun

The Huns scored two without any reply
But with ten minutes remaining Hendos corner flew by
To be met by Stokesy who headered the ball into the net
And a Grandstand finish was sure to be set.

Injury time came and David Gray forced a throw in
He looked up and who should he see but McGinn
He threw the ball to Fyvie who was in front of the Hibs stand
He passed it to Stokesy who was denied by a hand

The corner was taken by Liam Hendersons right boot
We all hoped it would go to Stokesy who we knew would just shoot
But it landed for Captain Fantastic David Gray
He bulleted a header which took 114 years away

As the net bulged and billowed with the force of the ball
The HIBEES had answered their fans pleading call
On fingernails some Hibbys who began just to chew
Waited on the final whistle for a minute or two

And then the sound of the refs whistle a delight just to hear
The last time we'd won it 1902 was the year
It was when Man Utd used to be Newton Heath
But today all we care about is that there's Sunshine on Leith.

Wow. I want that printed, signed and framed!
