    50 Years Ago

    Xmas morning, 1967. First of many Xmas Hibs strips. No white sleeves but maybe MacKenzies in the Bridges only had these.?


    Ross 039.jpg

    Finally got round to getting the real thing 2 years later. Furniture had got better in the hoose as well.!

    Merry Christmas fellow Hibees.

    From the expression on the boy's face it must be the Jambos' away strip and it was derby day.

    Brill photos Roxy, thanks for sharing them.

    Great pic. As we had already beat Yams 4-1 at tiny & were about to do the double thanks to a Joe Davis/ Eric Stevenson penalty the wee guy probably was worried!

    What it tells us is that memories are priceless and some of us are lucky enough to have a treasure trove of them.

    Hope you all make some more tonight and tomorrow.

    Merry Christmas Chaps!

    Cracking picture

    My granny got me an enscribed bible that year. I know its was 1967 as I got battered round the heid for writing Hibs for the cup 1967 on it in pen on Xmas day.

    Still got it even though I'm not religious.

    My primary school was 3 mins walk from it, in the days when finding football gear wasn't as easy as it is now. Had our faces pressed to the windows admiring the gear regularly (the hearts fans used to lick the window of course)

    My first Derby. Remember it well. Just started to snow when Joe tucked ball into corner of the net in front of the shed.

    I got that one too. Think the ones with white sleeves were a half-crown dearer. (12 1/2p ?).
