Good programme on Radio 4 just now called Lyrical Journey. Describing how SOL was written and the effect it has had on various people. Of course the CIS final gets a mention.

My ears pricked when just after the news at 6 tonight on Radio 4 they mentioned "the one voice of 30,000 Hibs fans" so thanks for posting the link, absolutely fascinating listen. Holds a certain amount of resonance from a personal point of view that it was recorded mainly at Calton Hill as that view is the single reason that I support Hibs (yes I know I've told this story on here before!)

Nicol is of course, absolutely right about SOL. It has such resonance, such power, that you dont want to dilute its effect by overplaying it :top marks:

Spot on with that. But, without knowing when the programme was recorded, is it still his responsibility after the 'Taxman' shenanigans?

Went to Edinburgh for a weekend away with the family in the mid 90's, climbed Calton Hill and saw the view of Easter Road. Asked my dad who's dad it is, he said it's painted green so must be Hibs and that was it for me!

These wee stories are fabby :agree:

We've a Sheffield based fan who follows Hibs because he once read a football annual and it had a colour pic of Pat Stanton in it! Green and white strip sealed the deal
