Ahead of the Calcutta Cup game in 1982, the England rugby team trained at ER because (thanks to undersoil heating) it was the only good quality, playable pitch available.

Were we the first Scottish team to wear purple?
I don't know, but I can't think of or find any other example.

2 of our goal keepers have represented their country at cricket and basketball (one was actually a basketball player)

First team to win the old second division in 1893/94.
First team to win the old second division and NOT get promoted (Clyde who finished a distant third were 'voted' up. Guess which copy cat club formed in 1888 lobbied heavily to prevent promotion?)
First team to win the old second division twice - 1893/94 and 1894/95.

I remember being told years ago that Hibs were the only team who ever put five past the formidable Dino Zoff - one of the greatest keepers, if not the greatest, of all time.
No idea if it's true and given his career predates Soccerbase etc, it seems a bit of a task to check whether true.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

I'm not a fan of folk who post questions they could answer themselves if they tried Google or that.
I've had a look and not found anything obvious that links to Zoff's professional career games. If anyone knows better and can give me a steer then I'm happy to do the trawling and see whether the claim about Hibs is true.
EDIT - acknowldege he played into his early forties so it's not a small taskThere's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

I read the text around it and it suggests each Hibs player got a musical cigarette box after the leg in Naples.

In fairness, the laddie had a decent career but it's looking like Hibs were a bit of a bogey team for himThere's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars
