Favourite non Hibs moment in football

Rene Higuita anyone? There was about 25 laddies from p7 down to p3 trying the famous “scorpion kick” on the grass at school the following days lunchtime.

Also a real early memory was Nayim lobbing Seaman in the Cup Winners Cup final. That and Raith beating Celtic on Pens in the Coca Cola cup final. Probably all around the same few years

Classic that!

I loved the '94 World Cup. It was the first WC after I got interested in football and I just loved it. I liked Italy (I still like that Valentino shirt) and I'm pretty sure there were games on in the morning, which I really liked.

Earliest non-football moment? I collected football stickers because everyone else did. One kid in my class needed Packie Bonner to complete the set. I had that sticker and got all his 'doublers' as a result. Didn't know a bleddy thing about the sport or any of the players, but I still remember the excitement of getting the 'Liverpool shiney' and the satisfying rip of a packet...and the smell of those plasticy stickers.
Happy days!

Seeing Scotland win at Wembley in 1981

A trip to Wembley to see Scotland was a rite of passage for football supporters in those days

Had seen us lose 3-1 the time before

One of the things I remember most was getting stopped with a bottle of vodka going in and tossing it on this humongous pile of other confiscated alcohol

That and seeing loads of folk I knew outside randomly

David Narey's goal against Brazil, Seville, 1982. Sweet joy, but short-lived.

Same, I was 9 at the time and it's the first world cup I remember. Made all the sweeter by being in Italy on holiday for the duration. Remember being captivated by Nigeria, and celebrating like a madman when Letchkov scored against Germany in the quarter finals. I wasn't really sure why to be honest but it was a great moment.

Also going out into the streets of Turin after Italy winning their semi-final was incredible. Crowds of people, cars horns blaring, flags and celebrations everywhere.

Gascoigne’s goal against Scotland and Liverppool winning the first ever Merseyside derby FA cup final 3-1 after being 1-0 down at half time to a Lineker goal, one of my greatest trips to Wembley.

Vague memories of that game at the time (back in the day when the Scottish and FA Cup finals were on the same day, and we got shown the goals at HT) - but recently watched the excellent Two Tribes documentary on BT Sport and saw the footage of the fans clambering 50+ft up the side of the old Wembley stadium and making death defying jumps to get into the game.

Absolutely terrifying to watch!

2 hibs fans shouting nonsense at Tam McManus whilst he was warming up behind the goals at the home end when he was a sub for Boston Utd.

To be fair he looked a bit shocked, waved a bit then ran up the line to get as far away as possible.

David Marshall's penalty save against Mitrovic in Serbia.

France 98 was my introduction to Football, but at 7, I can't really remember much of it and never saw Scotland qualify for it, so seeing Scotland finally qualify for a major tournament was incredible

I blame Craig Gordon for the goal more than Armstrong.

As brilliant as he’s been so many times against Hibs it was a pitiful piece of goalkeeping. Shameful.

I still get pissed off thinking about it.

Not more than Armstrong but equally absolutely pooed his pants. Pathetic didn't cover himself in glory the first either

Nice to a "very disappointed and dejected Alex McDonald" in that footage.

I think we all had the some thought when he scored that - 'That's just going to provoke them'.

[Diclonius]

Has to be McFadden's goal in France or Marshall's penalty save really.

I enjoyed seeing Germany go out the World Cup against Japan (or South Korea? Can’t quite remember) a few years ago.

Man City winning the league for the first time was utter bedlam, as was Leicester winning it.

Germany beating Brazil 7-0 was surreal, it was a bit like watching Azlan dying in Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

I was about 9 for USA 94. I still have fond memories of staying up well past my bed time watching games with my Dad. I remember the games being on past midnight but they probably weren’t, just felt like that at that age.

Three years ago today SJM scored the goal that put Aston Villa into the EPL

How much was that goal worth?

Brilliant drama at both ends of the Premier table today for me thinking about my favourite moment of e watching football that didn’t involve Hibs.

Quite a few but I’ll often go back to the YouTube clip of Watford v Leicester. Leicester player dives for a penalty in the last minute, scores to put them through to the play off final. He takes the penalty, keeper saves it, saves the rebound, ball gets launched up the park.

And the rest is history…

1977 Wembley was special, my first but not last taste of exuberance.
