Alan Lugton, LEGEND

[phoenixfire]

Just finished watching a programme on RTE television dealing with the
Irish community in Edinburgh, it finished with an interview with Alan sporting
his Hibernian tie and giving a brief history of the Irish in Edinburgh.
Alan left no doubt as to the role played by celtic in the attempted murder
of our club, favourite quote (it was said when the players played for Hibs
they played for faith and Ireland when they moved to celtic they played
for 30 shillings a week) BRILLIANT:love ya!::scarf:

Look forward to someone putting on it youtube.

What I love about Hibs, is that our club is as Irish (in origin) as they come in the UK, but we have evolved in to a club for all faiths and all creeds.

I true football club of the people, by the people and for the people.

Celtic are Hibs' parasitoids.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Alan's books - The Making of Hibernian are wonderful to read and don't pull any punches re John Glass and Co of Celtic FC. It's an ackowledged fact now (free to read in Tom Campbell's book on the history of Celtic) that Glass and his cohorts enticed Hibs players away in 1888 by setting them up with public house businesses which was against the rules but hey some things never change when it comes to that shower.

Good advert for Edinburgh, great plug for Hibs and magical comment from Lugton about us and Celtic:thumbsup:
