I was pretty sure this happened during Hart's time as chairman, but it was a long time ago, so could be wrong. Harry Swan stepped down in '63 - I thought it would've been after that, but not while Harrower was chairman (he was there until '70).This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

MacPherson's book is excellent (I've got it too) but I would certainly dispute his version of the incident. The guy was on the lower section of the East when he picked up the ball and started his run, went across the path and up on to the high terracing before kicking the ball clean out the ground.

I remember being at Ibrox a few years back when they wheeled out one of their former players at half time to draw the raffle. I can’t remember who he was(pretty old) but they were reading out some of his achievements one of which that he’d scored 160 goals. With perfect timing, the Hibby behind me comments “160 goals? he must have been their penalty taker”.
Also, a trip to Pittodrie in about 85 saw one of our party being denied access to the ground for being too drunk. Just before the game starts we see him limping around the pitch being helped by a policeman. He then gets helped over the wall at the Beach End, turns round to see if the policeman is still looking, sees he isn’t and then runs up the stairs. Told us he had told the police he wasn’t drunk but had a limp that made him look drunk -I’m sure he got in for nowt too. Had us laughing all the way home.

At a pre season friendly during the warm up, the announcer says would the owner of vehicle registration number ......... please return to it as it is blocking the car park entrance.
Off the pitch comes Barry Lavety shouts to us "That's my car!"

Back in the days of Pie man at hearts threatening to move them to Murrayfield, hearts came to ER and someone from the east terracing threw a rugby ball at Craig Gordon

Stevenson hitting the seagull with the ball at Dunfermline was quite funny.

Must have been early 80s, went for a pie, took a bite out right away and complained to the old dear it was cold.
Her reply.....well it’s either hot pies or that scoreboard son :) priceless.

I think for me it was when Hearts were really looking like they were moving to Murrayfield permanently - during a derby, Craig Gordon was lining up a free kick in front of the East when someone launched a rugby ball which hit the football just before Gordon took the kick. A truly excellent throw from that fan 😂
Edit: see it’s been mentioned one million times already!!

The best one has to be one of the derbys when the story broke about Hearts possibly having to move to Murrayfield, Craig Gordon was lining up a free kick and someone threw a rugby ball onto the pitch! The timing was perfect. What a hoot.

The 3-0 game against the old club in the Scottish cup At half time the bookies were offering 100-1 on Hibs winning 3-0. Late in the game Killen was clean through with goalie to beat. Guy behind me is screaming miss you ****. Had a fiver on correct score. The weirdest thing ever though was the Zaire guy at the free kick.

Rangers on Boxing Day at Easter Road, mid 80’s, they have a fan dressed as Santa arrested in the Dunbar end and frogmarched up the side of the pitch whilst sticking the fingers up at the Hibs fans - Merry Xmas....

I remember last match of the season at ER back in the sauzee/latapy era and the players are doing a lap and clapping the fans at the end. Two young lads about 10 or 12 are leaning over the fence and getting autographs. most of the players move on and Dirk Lehmann is running past, the two lads start shouting "Dirk, Dirk, Dirk, Dirk come here Dirk, Dirk Come here !" eventually he jogs over to sign the book but one of the lads says." No you Dirk, Can you go and get me Franck Sauzee's autograph" The look on Dirk's face was a picture, but good as gold he ran 40 yards to Franck, got his autograph and ran back with the book !

Superb response to this thread... I've been in stitches at times with some of these tales - you don't get this kind of stuff on Soccer Saturday/Soccer Am, and what have yer... Proper football stories.
Please keep them coming

Willie Johnston in a pre season friendly against Elgin City. He told the linesman he was coming on who duly signaled for the substitution. Linesman turns around and Johnston is back sitting on the bench laughing and the linesman looking like an eejit. A still laughing Johnston then apologised to the linesman and promised that just for him he would nutmeg the first player he came up against and he did exactly that.......

Craig Gordon went over towards the East to take a free kick and someone chucked a rugby ball onto the pitch! The timing was spot on and we all laughed and embraced. Even Fulton found it funny himself!
