Hibs in popular culture

[NAE NOOKIE]

Outside of the 'bigger' clubs can there be a club anywhere who are referenced more in books TV and cinema than Hibs are. I was watching a film in the wee small hours last night with Scarlett Johansson in it where basically she plays an alien who drives around Glasgow picking up random strangers and killing them 'under the skin' is the film.

Anyway ... she picks up this guy with a green & white scarf on who you think is a Celtic supporter, but then he takes off his jacket and is resplendent in an 11/12 season Hibs top which made me laugh ..... Miss Johansson takes stuff off as well

You see my problem right there, I wouldn't have even noticed the Hibs Top.

In my defence Scarlett was preserving her modesty at that point

We were mentioned in Corrie apparently, a BT advert had latapy scoring a pen v the yams and E.T supporting hibs.

There is boys wearing Hibs strips in the 80s film Restless Natives.

They also changed Rebus from being a Jambo to a Hibee in the tv show as its way cooler obviously. One episode in particular has them breaking into Easter Road.

Oh aye, and Pat Stanton pulling pints in the Acid house is pretty cool!

Rebus was never a Jambo. Iirc, in the books he's a Raith man.

Maybe you're getting mixed up with Ken Stott, who is a Jambo

Yeah he mentions in one of the books about following Raith as a child I think, but he does attend easter road with Siobhan Clarke a lot in the books who became a fan after she moved to Edinburgh for uni.

I think the TV show made him a proper hibby to piss off Ken who as you say is a big jambo.

Siobhan Clarke has a season ticket at Easter Road in the books.

"I can understand why Stranraer are so lowly, they could save a lot of points by signing the Hibs goalie"

or

"sixty miles to Kilmarnock, just to see Hibernian play, the day was bright and sunny, but the game I won't relate"

Some lyrics from two different songs from a well known band from the 1980's ( the band are still well known now).

My favourite reference is the band name "The Suns of Albert", commemorating the legendary moustachioed maestro, Sir Alberto Kidd.

The Blue Rose Code also reference the Hibees in one of their songs, maybe the "Ghosts of Leith".

Hibs fan base is truly intergalactic

[iwasthere1972]

Doors Open film featuring Stephen Fry. Watched it in 2012. Below is a post which appeared on here asking for extras.

Volunteers wanted for Sunday April 22nd from 9am to 12.30 to play the part of a Hibs crowd. Young, old, guys, gals, families, groups of pals all welcome. We have 20 people already and need a few dozen more. If we provide the right number of people, a donation of £1,200 will be made to Hibs12thMan/Sect43 for our display at the Scottish Cup Final

It will be interesting, fun, a great cause and a day you will not forget. The film is Doors Open by Ian Rankin. Not a Rebus story but an intriguing crime drama.

Dougie Henshall is a Hibby who goes along to watch the Cabbage and (just like Craig and Charlie Reid) loves standing wi his 2 mates in the Singing Section. The camera pans over to land on a stray Hibby in the same section also enjoying the game.

Upon leaving Dougie and this other lad bump into each other outside the Albion Bar. They get chatting and cook up the mother of all Arts heists. A real Ocean's 11 set around Edinburgh but kicking off at Hibs V Killie on Sunday 22 April.

Our mission - should you choose to accept it - is to supply Ian and his film company (owned by Stephen Fry) with a few dozen extras who will appear in the crowd scenes, filming from 9-12.30 after which we lunch with the crew. Then we enjoy the fitba and after the match, shoot a quick scene outside the Albion Bar

In exchange for your volunteering - The film company will pay £1200 which will buy 25 thousand green and white cards for an amazing cup final display on 19th May. On Sunday, probable meetup & parking at Old Leith Academy 8.45 am. Coach to ER. Filming starts at 9am at ER. 9-12.30 Lunch with crew. Smart football gear - tops, scarves. Over 16 but 14-16 with an adult OK

They have a song called "Edina" which has a Hibs reference. Great tune

They filmed an episode of 'Rebus' in Portobello one day and Stott came into our local, 'The Tides Inn'. (sadly no longer !) After being (jokingly) threatened with 'This is a Hibee pub, Pal - Nae Jambos' he joined us and was surprisingly quite knowledgeable about the game for one of them, good laugh too - even brought a round !!

[Barman Stanton]

Kris Needs did a cpl of tunes with Irvine Welsh and the band name was Hibee Nation. I got sent the promo's at the time. Crap though.

[Hibs1969]

I'm pretty sure there's a guy wearing a Hibs top on in the Nelly Furtado video for I'm Like a Bird.
From memory it's during the ariel shot when she's crowdsurfing and being moved around by the assembled mob.

[jgl07]

Richrd Jobson made a film: 16 Years of Alcohol that was set in Edinburgh and the main character was seen wearing a Hibs strip in flashbacks to his youth.

In the books it's Siobhan who's the Hibs fan.

Don't know who Kris Needs is but I recall some connection with Primal Scream on the Hibee Nation song?

Have you listened to the Suns of Albert? With a name like yours your you should give them a listen.

Here's another literary reference that no one will take heed of. In the book of short stories by Duncan McLean, "A Bucketfull of Tongues", there is a story about Aberdeen casuals taking on the Hibs Druids hooligan crew.

It always irked me because when I was in my 20's, I was the Pres of an imaginary motorcycle chapter called the Hibs Druids. In another little known figment of my imagination, Easter Road was once the site of an ancient stone circle and that people gathered there for millenia, tapping into the earth energies that flow through the site to this day.
