Good on the old boy! Tell your mate to ask the club to send him a card. I'm sure Yogi will get the players to sign it, etc... That is a rare milestone.

Yeah we are trying to see if he is the oldest Hibs fan going to games, the amazing thing is he is originally from Belize, he just loved the way the hibs played,

Your mate should consider not telling him if we win the cup.

Read it a few snippets from Kickback. That should do the trick. If not then sit on it. :wink:

I know kickbacks a zoo, but no animal really deserves to go there.

Compared to your first suggestion, this is a lot less harsh. :wink:

Stating the obvious here but would contact Hibs. If they need proof of age then Yogi could give Betty a call at the palace. :agree:

Yeah he is going to get in touch with yogi even if he isn't the oldest, it's still a great story .

That's good to know. It's a great achievement to reach 100 years old but to still have the energy to go and watch the Hibs is totally remarkable.

Hope Hibs mark this occasion with something special.

Please keep us updated.

Cheers.
