Remember it well. We were having a 'mare of a game against United and then suddenly the old North Wing Stand gave a rousing cheer for a United throw in. Then it dawned and the Cowshed joined in followed by the East Terrace. Happy days.

Pleased to have presented him on stage in Melbourne with the retrospective Oz Hibs Branch ‘player of the year 1985/86 award, back in 2005.

Me too, Joe Tortolano about to boot the ball into Utd's net when the place erupted - Sturrock (??) nips it off Joe, takes it upfield and - Bang - 0-1 to them - and not one Hibernian FC supporter was giving one solitary ounce of **** !!

One of the best days/night/weekend in my life !

***BILLYHIBS*** · 03-05-2018 11:03 AM

Must remember to send a card to Potter

***One Day Soon*** · 03-05-2018 12:01 PM

I'm a little confused about all this, can anyone enlighten me?

***PatHead*** · 03-05-2018 12:04 PM

Wonder if potter craps himself every 3rd May?

**NAE NOOKIE** · 03-05-2018 12:24 PM

I was at ER that day, it was bizarre watching the few Hibs fans there celebrating even though Utd had scored

I often think its time we got over this, after all it wasn't us or our player who scored, but then I think, nahhh ... happy Sir Albert Kidd day everybody.

The usual, Hearts winning with ten minutes to go.

I switched off then before, there's no way Hibs or Dundee would score two late goals against the famous.

**Stokesy's on fire** · 03-05-2018 02:10 PM

This should be a national Holiday!

**Dashing Bob S** · 03-05-2018 02:18 PM

Trawling through the records online, but can find no reference to any Albert Kidd who played for Hibs. Yet he seems to be a cult hero at the club. Can anyone please inform me as to why this should be? It really is doing my nut in.

**~~IGRIGI~~** · 03-05-2018 02:22 PM

I'm having a poo in solidarity with Levein.

**norhfc** · 03-05-2018 02:28 PM

Was working in a shop in St James Centre that day. Trying to get through it then home cause the jambos would have been out celebrating, or so we all thought.
Phone call from my mate at FT pissing himself laughing, we just had to go straight out on the toon. The few jambos we did meet where literally broken.
Never to be forgotten, still makes me smile that phone call :)

**Halmyre Hibee** · 03-05-2018 02:47 PM

New a few guys (Jambos) who worked for the Evening News / Scotsman and they brought up some of the billboard notices with Championees etc on them to the bowling club for the pink news. Never seen them for a few weeks thereafter. Pity Hibs were crap in those days.

Still got the commentary on MP3 and when I am on holiday with my music on shuffle people wonder why I am laughing my head off with tears of absolute joy running down my face.

**HibeeHibernian4** · 03-05-2018 03:13 PM

We can laugh all we want, but at least they won the other part of their double a week later and definitely weren't pumped 3-0.

**Since90+2** · 03-05-2018 03:17 PM

The day Hearts defined "bottling it". Pleasing.

**heretoday** · 03-05-2018 03:26 PM

I remember the day. It was sunny in Edinburgh and I had the radio on while doing my mum's garden.

**HibeeHibernian4** · 03-05-2018 03:34 PM

Would've been about this minute exactly 32 years ago that Albert Kidd scored the first.

***Carheenlea*** · 03-05-2018 04:19 PM

The Chunky Chicken Champions

***AltheHibby*** · 03-05-2018 04:35 PM

I remember walking through Glasgow Central in a foul mood and seeing all the Celtc fans singing. My mood changed instantly when they told me what had happened. 😂

Archie McPherson - 'The return of the Hearts support in large numbers ................' - surely Archie's wrong - they're 'The Famous', the 'Big team' - they've always had a large (and loyal) support haven't they ??
