I just came across this clip posted by Boozy (the original) on Twitter. It is of the day we went to Ibrox and showed them how to play football. Those were the days.

Ref ruins the sequence of play by not playing advantage at the end after Boozys inch perfect left foot pass. Morais even looks like a player in that clip!

Also I thought Brian Kerr was playing that day but I cant see him anywhere. ...

That ball at the end from Boozy was stunning.

Playing decent attractive football should be what every hibs manager aims for, if we can't win things every year the very least we should be is entertaining to watch.

Great to see! O'Brien, Kerr, Chisholm (i think hard to see on mobile) all playing too. :greengrin

I had that as my sig for a while. love it.

Incredibly, when ive posted links to it before, there were complaints that we shouldnt celebrate the tippytappy stuffand there was no end product hence it was no big deal. Whether this was trolling or if there are really Hibs fans who think like this, i dunno. Collins had a lot of haters in his time here.

Love that clup! Boozy just oozed class. I think he was even better after his injury when he just sprayed passes everywhere and rarely misplaced one. Mind the game against hearts in the CIS cup? He was just a joy to watch in that game.

Ah the good old days when most on here thought Boozy was a waste of space that gave the ball away in dangerous positions and didn't run and tackle enough.

That clip was superb, these were the days.:thumbsup:

Also saw this clip on the montage at the end of it, simply just superb, if only we had him now.

Is it the 14s Boozy coaches? Good to know that we have someone to teach the kids to want, and feel comfortable with, the ball at their feet. Teach them how the game should be played.

I believe there is a stronger off the field influence on this manager to play attractive football, keep the ball down and focus more on youth development.

If Pat had been allowed to stick to his tactics of one up and hoof he was heading for the door IMO. It just wasn't the Hibernian Way.

It was proper Hibs football that day at Ibrox. Over the whole piece, we can say we've tried to play good attractive, attacking football and can't be knocked for that. The 6-6 at Fir Park was a game that sums it all up for me. Always capable of scoring and conceding at any moment.
