28 years ago today, Bobby Ball lookalike Albert Kidd rose out of oblivion to become a legend not only for his two late goals that destroyed Hearts league challenge but because he created those scenes of grown Yams greeting their eyes out :thumbsup:

Dungdee need a single point to win promotion. Just imagine their team selection was hampered by illness and they lost out to two goals in the last ten minutes.
The tears would be running down my leg.

I was in the old North Enclosure and the place went mad as guys with their trannies relayed the score. We were losing 2-1 to Dundee Uth but nobody gave a hoot. A couple of female friends went to Forth Road Bridge and waved at the returning jambo's. Dont know how they were not thrown off !

Tbh, the fact that 'Sir Albert Kidd-Day' still exists is mainly down to the maroon-muppets themselves. When the possibility of them winning the league first appeared possible, they had the support of plenty of the 'old school' Hibees (gentlemen) with the 'better a team from Edinburgh win it, than a Glasgow one' attitude. That support for them gradually diminished as the 'maroon-mouth's went into hyper-drive - some of the guff they came out with was just unbelievable. When the stories of the 'Champions 85-86' T-shirts came out, that wiped out the last of the 'old-school'. Today's average 'maroon-Mong' is no different with their team that most of them couldn't wait to see the back-off, for most of the season, now on a run that has them now proclaiming they'll walk the championship - they just can't help themselves !

GIRFUY's - back to where ye's belong !!!

I'm not sure this was deliberate but, if so, well played sir! :greengrin

Can any of our antipodean members confirm whether it is Sir Albert who is currently joint-coach of Adelaide Olympic?

From info online, it looks like him but hard to be sure.

Was this the one when the "famous" did their famous double that now gives rise to them calling themselves "the Famous" :confused:

I was in the East that day. The place went nuts when Dundee scored . I do remember players being distracted by the uproar in what was otherwise a tedious end of season defeat from Utd. I think everyone knew Celtic were cruising it v St Mirren and when word got round about Kidd's goal it was time for lift off. A never to be forgotten afternoon.

The Utd. keeper dropped the ball and then picked it up again and I think I was the only one shouting for a free kick to Hibs , the ref just waved play on. But OMG the joy of that day.

And in 2005 at a special function in Melbourne I had the honour of presenting Sir Albert with the Oz Branch of the Ssupporters Association's Player of the Year certificate for season 85/86

Retrospectively awarded obviously, but as the song goes...Oh What A Night....

Richly deserved, I'd say. :agree:

We always 'treated' ourselves to a seat in the stand for the last game of the season. Sitting there, Joe Tortolano runs into the box, boot primed to unleash the ball into the Dundee Utd net and BANG - ER erupted !!. I think every man and his dog had their radio with them that day. In all the celebrations and uproar, Tortolano (and the rest of the team) stopped, taken aback by the sudden roar but not Utd - one of their players was alert enough and nicked-in to take the ball, 2\3 quick passes upfield and the ball was in our net !!. Strangely enough, not one solitary ounce of XXXX was given !!
