From the Hibs email letter :thumbsup:

"Hibernian FC announced more details regarding the tribute match for Eddie Turnbull versus Aberdeen on Saturday this week.

Both teams will wear embroidered tribute shirts, and will be joined on the pitch before kick off by Hibernian legends, including players from Turnbull's Tornadoes and former players from both Clubs to lead the minute's applause.

Tribute tables will be sited around the stadium to allow supporters to write their own commemorations to the great man. The Club will then collate and bind all the tributes and present them to Mr Turnbull's family. Tables will be located in all concourses, hospitality suites and the Clubstore. There are already tables in the main reception at the West Stand and Clubstore for supporters to leave their tributes this week.

The pre-match build up will include the full Hibernian song repertoire, focusing on an emotional Sunshine on Leith, one of Mr Turnbull's favourite songs. Supporters are therefore asked to arrive as early as possible to join in the celebration of one of Hibernian's greatest ever servants.

Will be a very emotional day. Really looking forward to the game tomorrow.
RIP Eddie :not worth



On a side note, we should have the Hibernian song repertoire every week

Couldnae agree more Mr McB. The repertoire needs to come from the crowd though IMO.

There's been recent, faint yet admirable attempts to sing SOL and TT in the Singing Section. We need more of this and bin all the small-minded poisonous bilge about Jeffries Wife, Mercer, Refugees, Sex Offenders and Peodophiles.

Get back to supporting the team the right way instead of disgracing the club and alienating fellow fans

Same here, even more gutted it's not on the telly. Living room, pub in the the centre of town with a mini tv I'll be applauding like everyone else.

Hopefully there's a stream somewhere on the Internet or it's free on Hibs TV (extremely doubtful)
