Hibees singing Sunshine on Leith, the fame goes on......

[Keith_M]

I just bought a Special Edition of the German Football Magazine '11 Freunde' and was amazed to see a two page article on the Hibs support's rendition of Sunshine on Leith. There was an interview with Craig and Charlie where they spoke about how proud they were about having their song become the Hibs anthem.

I've scanned both pages of the article (below) and here's a link (http://www.11freunde.de/video/flimmerkiste/282213?category=444) to the '11 Freunde' website where they show the 2007 LC Final rendition alongside the best fan displays from around the world. It's worth watching that video again right through to when they interview Steven Fletcher trackside to get a proper sense of just how loud and emotional it was.

One of the greatest moments of my life was belting out sunshine on leith at the 2007 final. That will never leave me, every time I watch the videos I am emotional to say the least.

Great to see it being acknowledged by other football folks.

[Tinribs]

I watch that on youtube at least every few weeks, and it still brings a wee tear to my eye :agree:

Got to give the BBC credit for that day. The footage is excellent. I love the bit when the BBC pundit (I think its Gordon Smith) says "lets just sit back for a moment and watch the Hibs fans sing the Hibs anthem" or something along those lines.

Does anyone know the very first time SoL was played and sung by the support at Easter Road?

What a team, what a day, what a performance. Imagine the scenes if we ever win the Scottish Cup Final again.

[Onceinawhile]

Great post.

I remember my dad (linlithgowhibee) had a record from the hands off hibs campaign and I'm sure it had glory glory on one side and sunshine on leith on the other, as well as another song on each side.

Im sure the record cover had a picture from the hoh rally on it. Does anyone else remember that?

I realise that doesn't actually answer the questions, but I would assume that's where the link comes from. First time I remember it is aek at home.

AEK Athens home leg? 2001.

[Hibby D]

I can only imagine the emotions it stirs in JC as he lost his Dad in the lead up to the final.

:agree: yup 11th January - same day my Hibs supporting Mum died. I cried the same tears as JC that day and still struggle to watch it. There's a moment when the camera is following him and there's just the slightest change in his facial expression. You just know it's taking every ounce of strength for him to keep focussing and enjoying what's just been achieved, rather than on the overwhelming sadness of not having his Dad there to share it with him.

A beautiful and very poignant celebration and one I was so so proud to be a part of. Great OP :thumbsup:

[Borderhibbie76]

Its the song that binds us hibees and makes us the special football club that we are!! Im confident TB and MM will bring us some special days like 2007 and rid the club of some of the imposters currently masquerading as a 1st team. Some of them truly dont deserve to be playing for the fsmous Edinburgh Hibees!!!

[nribs]

AEK Athens home leg? 2001. sure I remember singing it weeks before against Hearts at Easter Road. Could be wrong though

[brian6-2]

He didn't say cheesy, he said kitsch, which translates as.... well.... kitsch

Craig objected but Charlie said "but you ARE kitsch"

:greengrin



They also pointed out to the interviewer that Hibs were the first "World Champions", when they beat Preston North End.

Yeh, I thought we had sung it before the AEK game too but I wasn't sure.

Talking of which, is there any footage of the AEK version? The video produced of the game ridiculously misses any footage (presumably they didn't want to pay royalties?) but thecameras must have filmed it, surely?

[GraniteCityHibs]

Sunshine on Leith was my first waltz at my Wedding in 95

Still the best song ever:thumbsup:



Same here (although I was only 11 in 1995 so mine was 2008) :greengrin

I got a lot of love from all my mates for that (all Celtic, Aberdeen, Rangers fans too).

Also, I get it a lot from the Aberdeen fans about how they wish they had a song like that to belt out. the phrse 'best football anthem there is' has floated around a few times.

I belted it out in a hotel in Blackpool when we were on a stagger where we took control of the sound system and a couple of Scousers couldn't get enough of it.

We still shout: 'Diss bih's PRROPER EEEMOTIONAL!'

They then played YNWA and were thrown out by the owner who admitted later that he just hated scousers.

I've got a Yam acquaintance who loves SOL ... been to a couple of Hibby flavoured dos where it was played and he cant wait to join in with the singing. Its not even him being sarcastic either ... just loves the song.

Nice to see us getting a bit of recognition on the continent though ..... As I said after the Scottish Cup final, if we cant be respected on the pitch we can at least try to be respected off it as decent up for it supporters.

[Stax]

Mixed emotions that day, went to the game with my wife's grandad. He hadn't been to a game for years, needless to say we had a great day but on the way home on the train, he said he didn't "feel to clever"...He'd actually had a heart attack...Ambulance called & thankfully full recovery made. He still raves about the atmosphere at the game to this day & the 4 days in hospital afterwards as a "wee blip" on the day!

[Liberal Hibby]

Yeh, I thought we had sung it before the AEK game too but I wasn't sure.



The album was released in 1988 - 13 years before the AEK game. I don't remember it being sung by the fans before then (but I've been away from Scotland since 1990). But I certainly remember it being played on the tannoy at ER after a derby that we'd won. I'm pretty sure Aiden Smith makes reference to the 'My heart was broken' line somewhere too.

I'd suspect it has been played at ER since around 1989/90.

[edinburghhibee]

I think I've told this story about 10 times on here but who cares... When we played elfsborg in the intertoto I took my ex girlfriends dad, who was Swedish, to the dubliner after we had been beat. Late into the night the place was still bouncing and packed with hibees and locals SOL came on and the place sang their hearts out to this song. I turned around to Lennart near the end and the man was in floods of tears. Said its the most beautiful song he'd ever heard. I got him the album shortly after and he still plays it to this day.

It is 100% the greatest football anthem in the world take a bow Charlie and Craig for a wonderful song!!

[California-Hibs]

Simply my best moment supporting Hibs, and actually right up there with most of the best moments I've experienced in life. Sheer passion and emotion. I can only imagine just what it will be like when we eventually win the Scottish Cup and THAT song start's playing over the tannoy. Goosebumps just thinking about it!

Jambo mate was in London last week and during cab ride was chatting to driver who was West Ham fan, got talking about football hooligans and driver admitted he was involved with casuals in his day. Started talking about Scottish football and after brief chat about Rangers going bust, driver said he absolutely loved the Hibees SOL song, waxing lyrical about it caused my mate to get out taxi a mile earlier to avoid the drivers appreciation for it......

[Craig_in_Prague]

We should have clips like that on screens at EM etc, if that doesnt inspire players then nothing will.

But then my memory isn't what it used to be...

I met up with a few auld workmates a couple of years ago at the Bierfest thingy in Princes Street gardens, and the majority were from Bathgate and East Glasgow.3 of them were Celtic fans, and did say that listening to SOL made the hairs on the back o' neck stand up! all in the company were remarking on it.
