Hibernian: Rough, Hunter, Mitchell, Orr, Ray, McIntyre, Weir, Kane, Cowan, Watson, Collins, Bell, McCluskey.


Was it a quarter-final?

I think I was there? if I remember correctly alex miller played mickey weir through the middle against motherwells 2 giant centre halfs?

Was that the game Roughie dropped a cross and they scored. If so we signed Andy Goram not long after.
I remember the Hibs fans moaning at Roughie for ages. If so I was there.

Wish I'd been there as big Roughie dropped the ball. The language would have been extraordinary

One of his all times favourite players too.

Among my many old programmes, I found one for a game away against Morton, last game of the season 1982.


The weird thing is that I remember this game vividly, mostly for the lack of any discernible crowd (I think there was only about 1,700 there) and going there on The Artisan SC bus ('no party songs, please!').



How come I can remember a football game from 35 years ago, but I frequently forgot the Missus' Birthday?

I was there (0-0 draw) - I remember it most for being Ally MacLeod's last game for Hibs.

He dropped 6 eggs in Gifford store around the same time.

If it's the game i'm thinking of we got there after kick off heard a roar, jumped the nearest turnstile and watched the rest of the game in the home end.

Some decent enough players in there, but with Cowan and McCluskey up front our strike force wasn't exactly the nippiest...was Gareth Evans around then? Think we signed Steve Archibald the following year.

Aye, pre-Goram and Archiegoal. Imagine Hibs signing players of that calibre now!

[Hibernia&Alba]

Just thinking what a year 1987 was for news:

Big freeze winter 1986-87
March, Herald of Free Enterprise ferry disaster
May, Thatcher won third term
August, Hungerford massacre
October, great storm in England
October, huge stock market crash
November, Kings Cross fire disaster
November, Enniskillen IRA bomb

[Delboy4]

Yes I was there.

I remember running out Fir Park as soon as the final whistle went, absolute crap game! Was there with my bosses two sons who
were slightly older than me. One of them drove a brand new black Opel Manta, he was so pissed off with the result he was doing 120mph along the M8, to say I was quiet sitting
in the back is an understatement!!!

And you would have been a young whippersnapper of 21. Memories light the corners of my mind........

1987 was the year the Australia branch of the Hibs Supporters Association was formed.

Many antipodean Hibbies still recovering from our recent 30th anniversary celebrations where Oz resident Grant Brebner was special guest of honour.

Great site - I found my first game on this site, gives results for a loooong time ago. no doubt you will find result you are looking for here.

[Hibernia&Alba]

The match programme has a panoramic photo of Fir Park on the cover; back when both ends behind the goals were open terracing and the East Stand was also terracing, so only their Main Stand was seating. Not good for watching in the rain.

[andybev1]

found it I think, which backs up what others remember: http://www.fitbastats.com/hibs/game_...&submit=Search

By the way, can you still get Skol lager?

Goram debut against Dunfermline in 4-0. Made a great save flying through the air save to tip a long range shot over the bar. Next weekend great storm and stock market crash. And we ended 22 in a row. Took my cousin from Brasil and stood in the East. He said fans much crazier than Brasil.

Wasn't 22 in a row that ended in 1987, was an earlier marginally less horrendous run.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Was it the winter of 1986-87 where games were postponed for weeks, due to the weather?

Eddie May and Kano scored I think. That was some celebration. First time we’d beaten them since they’d come back up.
