Remember it well as a 16 year old - a barmy finale, and absolute bedlam on the East terrace. Great times.

Jings - I would have been 23 ! Mental game it was. Never a penalty for them. Big Colin supplied the cross IIRC and he came on as a sub. I did not think that the celebration of a goal at ER could be beaten that same year but cue Sir Albert and the 2 goals against Der Hun on the 1st game of the season. Mind you when Souness went off the celebration was just like a goal. Happy days.

Within days of that game I went out and got the photo - that is your avatar - from the Evening News - still got it and it's suitably well framed - take it you did the same?

In those pre Hibs TV days I used to follow results on BBC World Service which interchanged live commentary on an English game and a Scottish one which just shows how importance of Scottish football has fallen in last 30 odd years . On that particular day there must have been an especially important English match or some other event ( Grand National ? ) which meant our match wasn`t covered live but they did a fake live commentary with late goals which was absolutely brilliant with " then this happened " several times with last 3 goals . Something very similar at Dens Park a few weeks later with commentary delayed but still exciting in pre internet days . Incidentally the presenter of BBC World Service Sport back then Paddy Feeney sounded very posh English but was born in the north of Ireland and he and his family had a soft spot for Hibs which he explained to me some years later in a personal letter when I complained about lack of live commentary at 1991 League Cup final .

The scenes in the East when we scored to make it 4 -3 were tremendous, bodies, legs and arms flying everywhere. Thought the league cup game was good but this took it to a new level, we dared to dream that this was the year we would win the cup again, alas another heartache awaited us.
