In the quarter final against Hibernian at Easter Road, a tough, uncompromising battle resulted in a late Jinky Smith goal taking the tie back to Pittodrie. Turnbull turned up the heat on his old club after the game when he declared that 'Hibernian won't know what will hit them' when they come up for the replay. The Aberdeen support responded by turning out in their droves as a record midweek attendance of 44,000 filled the ground. Spectators took up every vantage point as the floodlights were under siege along with some of the more adventurous who took up positions on top of the Beach End. Turnbull was as good as his word as Aberdeen ran all over a Hibernian side in a 3-0 win as the crowd responded to their manager's plea to crank up the pressure on the visitors. It was one of those great Pittodrie occasions and similar to what Alex Ferguson used to describe as a magical 'European night' at Pittodrie.
No health and safety back then. When men were men. :greengrin
