Apologies if this has been posted before, but just came across some nice footage of Hibs from the cup back in 1970/71.
Having beaten Forfar 8-1 at Easter Road in the Third round, Hibs were drawn away against Hearts on a cold damp day almost exactly 43 years ago today (give or take a week). George Harrison (for those of you of the Beiber generation, he was a Beatle!) was at number one with "My Sweet Lord" and a young three year old WorcesterHibby had just had his birthday in a modest wee house on Newhaven Road. This is a time of the Vietnam War, the Morris Marina has just been launched. Get Carter with Michael Caine has just been released in cinemas and Postal workers are on strike looking for a 20% pay rise. Britain is in a mess but the Hibs are not and expectation is high amongst the hibees support that another win is on the cards for the cabbage.
