I may have missed it if there have been other threads, but I just read the great man would have turned 100 a couple of days ago. RIP to the great man.

Played 21 derbies: 12 wins, 7 draws, 2 defeats I saw on twitter. I imagine that is his managerial record rather than playing.
He really was part of the best 2 Hibs sides ever.
Used to see him at Broughton when we were having a kickabout. He’d stand and watch for a bit as he lived round the corner. Never really appreciated how much of a legend he was when I was 13.

Created and managed the best Hibs team I've seen, we turned up expecting to win and win with style.

As player and manager won 3 league titles and a league cup. 40% of all the major trophies Hibs have won since 1875. Two Drybrough cups as well of course.
in the league, with Hibs, he was involved in three first place finishes, six 2nd place finishes, and three 3rd place finishes. Scored 150 goals for us.
played in a World Cup. Won a Scottish cup for aberdeen.
Immense man. Wish we had two Eddie Turnbulls tomorrow. One in the dugout and one on the pitch.
I’ve got a signed autobiography. I treasure it.

Arguably the best ever Hibernian greatest if you take into account as player and manager 😁

lm too young to have watched him manage or play but I met him and John Collins at East Mains when Collins was manager and he was an absolute gentleman. Took an interest in who I was playing with (Leith at the time) and didn’t seem remotely bothered that I had gatecrashed their conversation!

The first British player to score a goal in European competition
He also did a hard shift as a young man on the Russian convoys for which he received the Arctic Star which I am sure was character building
Legend
The best brand of football the world’s ever seen

Managed the Hibs team I grew up him .
Probably the greatest Hibs man with his record as a player and a manager .
Phenomenal derby record as a manager , knew how important Derby’s were .
Bit harsh but apparently he had a go at the team after the 7-0 game saying they had let them of the hook

Was speaking with a fellow Hibee about this the other day.
The culture at the club is wrong. Players are in a disconnected cocoon in HTC. Standards and expectations are not aligned with a club the stature of Hibs.
I just wonder what Eddie would have made of all this - mind he saw a fair amount of dross in his post managerial phase of life.
Seems like the expectations of the standards at Aberdeen were sustained to a degree.

So much so, we got invited to Brazil in 1953, to play in what was the first World Club Championship.
Interesting facts
Prior to the 1970 World Cup Finals in Mexico a football encyclopedia was written in Brazil.
Hibernian warranted a whole chapter in that book as our style of play was a model for Brazilian teams,club and national.
Top Brazilian club Vasco de Gama tried to sign the Famous Five !! Well... two of them
Good read on link

you’re probably a couple of years off my Dad, he went to the original school and had a few weeks at the then new school
He always talks of those days (late 60s - mid 70s) of Hibs walloping hearts regularly, even now he comments on how growing up for him, hearts were always the lesser side in Edinburgh
