Yeah that is quite mental, and I've said before that my memories of that season are not quite in sync with how difficult it was at times. I obviously think we were delighted just to be back up, and there was a lot of good will for that team, given the First Division campaign - and we had two absolute superstars in Latapy and Sauzee also. Winning two derbies and only losing one also helped a lot, as did beating Celtic at home, and drawing with Rangers.
I remember referencing that First Division campaign when how we won the Championship in 2017 was used as a stick to beat Lennon with (as if it matters how you win the lower league). We absolutely skooshed the league in 1999, winning by a huge margin and had a points record at the time - but there's absolutely no doubt that we were much better equipped for the top league in 2017 (which we won by a mere 11 points).

Earliest memory as a kid is John Blackley. Much more prominent memories of Alex Miller.
Total permanent managers: 20
Best win rate: Jack Ross
Best memories: McLeish, Mowbray (Stubbs for the Cup only) and Lennon.

Walter Galbraith for me, but the first manager I was actually aware of was Eddie Turnbull. I was just turning 8 when he took charge and for a while it was magic.

McLeish brought in some terrific players for the next season when at one point we were dreaming of a title challenge.

Turnbulls tornadoes....there is some benefit to being old !
No idea how many we 've gone thru since then....too many.
I appreciate its a tough gig, but the hibs board need to up their game on appointments."I don't have any regrets about not moving during my playing career. I was born a Hibee, my dad was a Hibee, I will stay a Hibee and I'll die a Hibee." -Lawrie Reilly

Decent pub quiz question would be - how many caretaker managers have we had in that time, and who were they?

Alex Miller was my first so for me Hibs are traditionally a defensive, boring team who never beat Hearts

Hugh Shaw when attending my first game at ER in 1954 or 1955. Don't have time to list managers since Shaw.
Willie McFarlane and Jock Stein were better IMOP
than any of the rest.

Best mangers in my time Jock Stein by a long way played some of the best football I have ever seen at Easter road beat Rangers 3 times in one season plus a 2-0 win over the great Real Madrid. Outstanding players were Willie Hamilton, Pat Quinn etc. Eddie Turnbull, Willie McFarland, Alex mcleish,Tony Mowbray.

You could be thinking of another game v Dundee United the season we were relegated. We were 1-0 down, equalised late on then John Hughes got caught wrong side and gifted them a 2nd before Oli let one through his legs in injury time. Both of them got absolute pelters from the stands.
The game before he was dropped that season was v Motherwell, a 1-1 draw in which he dropped an easy shot right at Owen Coyle's feet in the last minute. Chris Reid started the next game at Ibrox and saved a penalty albeit they scored the rebound in a 1-0 defeat.
Incidentally in both the Dundee United and Mothwerwell games we shot up the slope in the 2nd half.

You can see how shot the poor guys confidence is in the Motherwell game. Also it's beyond me how Willie Miller wasn't sent off for what can only be described as an assaultLast edited by Pretty Boy; 19-04-2024 at 01:16 PM.

Edit - just watched the highlights, first time I’ve seen them since being at the match - the gaffe is even worse than it seemed at the time.Last edited by Smartie; 19-04-2024 at 01:19 PM.
