What’s the strangest memento you have from the cup final?

[The Green Goblin]

Believe it or not, I have an unused ticket from the cup final. I got one through Hibs TV international, but one of my friends included me in his group late on, so I ended up with a spare. I tried everything I could to sell it on to someone and as late as the day itself, I was in touch with two people who were looking, but both got tickets from elsewhere. I put out an offer on Facebook etc. but couldn’t shift it.

So now I have a brand new, unused ticket as a souvenir from the greatest game in history... Anyone else have some odd souvenirs, lucky tokens, street signs, or items with superstitious value from THAT day?

I have the contact lenses I wore that day stored in solution in their capsule.

They’ve seen some ****.

Yes it’s weird.

Brilliant!!

Still have my grass stained green Adidas Topangas (from sliding into the net at FT) which have sat in their box since cup final day. Have both my programme and persevered t shirt signed so would like at some point to get them on display in a glass cabinet

[Diclonius]

I have a picture of the bruise I gave my calf celebrating the winning goal.

There's also the t-shirt I only wear to cup finals, but hopefully I'll be able to bring that out again in the not too distant future!

[Juice-Terry]

I still have my *****-stained boxers.

I’m probably on some sort of watchlist after being escorted off a plane at Dubai airport by security. I flew back for the final from New Zealand, but Hibs changed the public ticket sale date for when I’d be in the air. Luckily, there was WiFi on the flight, and my booking was being processed as we landed. I hit in my seat until the cleaners were doing their rounds and they alerted security. I pleaded with them, but was dragged off with ticketmaster still loading. After answering a few questions, I got the confirmation email which was accepted as proof of my misdemeanour 🙈

Other than that, I was wearing some fairly non descript socks - I scribbled 21/05/16 in marker pens on them, so I could remember which were my new lucky socks. We lost to Brondby the next time I wore them, so clearly that’s bollocks.

Still have them on?

The cork from a bottle of champagne I'd been saving for that day.

The list of all the people who travelled on the buses I was running.

All the other stuff is just ticket, programme etc which I think most will have kept hold off.

A piece of turf encapsulated in a cube of inscribed resin for posterity.

I've still got that big cheesy smile on my face!😁 and of course all the happy memories from that wonderful weekend.

[Carheenlea]

I’ve not got anything other than a picture of me with Sam Martinez outside Hampden pre match.
I don’t know why, because I’m a pretty active user of social media and take plenty pictures of events, but on 21/5/16 that is the only picture I had taken. The I think the memories of that day, the game itself and the celebrations that night followed by a full days celebration at the Cup Parade will forever be vivid in the mind.

A mention in the book ‘Moonshine on Leith’.


I’m not mentioned by name but it was my flag (that I purchased on the way out of Hampden after the game) that the statue of Sherlock Holmes was holding and that gets a mention in the book.

It’s a memento for me & my family who were with me that day but nobody else who has read the book will know it was me so I reckon that’s a decent shout for ‘strangest memento’.

A discarded magic hat.

[Diclonius]

I initially "retired" the scarf I wore to the final but eventually shelved that and it's now my regular scarf again. It's one of the green and dark green bar scarves we put out in 2008 with small white dividers and I don't think we'll ever make a better scarf.

Had John McGinn's boot from the 2016 final - which I subsequently sold to help fund my wedding the following year.

Bloody women!

Jesus.

It's a bit unusual to have the grounds for divorce wrapped up before you're even married.

Never thought of it like that 😂

I didn’t post anything on social media before the game, even that I was going. Didn’t want to curse it. Limited photos for myself but from after the final whistle and oddly a video on the train heading to the station.

[WeeRussell]

A peg from the goals that David Gray scored THAT goal in. Which I definitely didn't find while invading any pitches.

[SteveHFC]

Still have all the newspapers from the day after.

Still have my ticket, programme and scarf from that day.

[Hermit Crab]

I went to that game completely sober so I remember everything!

Have all the newspapers, match program and team sheet.

Maybe a good idea to change them after 3 years, bud.

I have..

My ticket
A programme
Piece of the pitch
Strand from the goal net which SDG scored in.


More importantly - loads of really good memories shared with pals and random Hibs fans from that weekend.
