Not you as well Cat?

I honestly didn’t know, I’m useless with these type of things though!! Love reading about the famous five but didn’t think about the numbers they all had.

Famous 5 was well before my time
Just know the numbers from the order in the song “Glory glory to the Hibees”

Have to say there was a certain joy to the numbers actually meaning something rather than the (to me) bizarre squad numbers now.

You also have to remember that the No.7 Jersey, would have been worn by everyone who played in that Position, that season (the players did not have individual jerseys).
the other matter to think about, would be that the Reserves and our East of Scotland Hibs team, all wore the same type/colour of jersey,(...which would have been a Bukta jersey in the 50s,) So there would be a Green/White jersey, numbered 7, for all our 3 teams.

Quite hard proving provenance, unless you got it from Gordon himself.

Still a lovely item nonetheless.
