I'm sure he'd appreciate a tweet re this anniversary. I dinnae do Twitter although I'm sure its been posted on here before that Archie does.

Just over 3 weeks before I started working at Meadowbank House, scary!

I was actually fortunate enough to speak to the man himself a few years back about it. He said it was the most mental celebration he'd ever seen on a terrace.

It was utter pandemonium

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Twenty seven years ago? Unforgettable though.

My first trip to tyncastle

Someone already tweeted him and it's been retweeted by SA.

Not sure if the guy posts on here....

@Smurf_Boy_73: @SteveArchibald8 27 years ago to the day since the best ever nonchalant goal celebration! What a great day that was at Tynecastle! #GGTTH

[AinsterHibs]

My auld man took me, not sure if it was this one. Still a great player for us though.

Kano with a goal and an assist...............

[Jonnyboy]

Stunning goal on a very memorable, jump about like an idiot, day :greengrin

[BroxburnHibee]

That celebration is something I'll bore my future grandchildren with hopefully :greengrin

Absolute carnage

[trev the hat]

Right up there with the best that strike, oozed class did Archie, proud to have taken part in that celebration, one of my fav ever Hibs goals 👍

[weonlywon6-2]

Can remember it like it was yesterday, what a goal

That stand opposite the camera looks awfully familiar.

I wonder why!? :confused:

:greengrin

[erin go bragh]

We had a man sent off early in the first half ( might have been Kano ) was total bedlam when that goal went in . Can't remember ever celebrating a goal more than that one ,
Class personified was Mr Archibald

Just checked, Gordon Rae was sent off.

Kano managed to score a fine goal instead (and an overhead kick to set up Archie).

[Simkin911]

One of my favourite Hibs games.... And have the celebration photo signed by the man himself.... 👍

Oh Kano rise like a salmon if I remember correctly , or a brown trout if you're Finnish 😀

[Flanny boy]

Twenty seven years ago? Unforgettable though.
I feel auld but yes unforgettable indeed.unbelievable scenes :flag:

[craigmounthibby]

Watching it still gives me goosebumps. One of the best goals ever.

IIRC it was the chief '******* in the black' Davie Syme that was in charge that afternoon, and he sent Gordon Rae off because Hibs had the cheek to go one up.

He also added on about fifteen minutes of injury time, where Hertz scored once and then missed a sitter.

[God Petrie]

Just before my time. It's a nice goal and classy celebration but, pardon my ignorance, what were the circumstances to the game that led to the crazy celebrations.

'Cos it was Hibs.

Yams held the whip hand since they came up in 83. We beat them for first time since their promotion a year previously, Gorams second game if I remember correctly. This was probably a Tynie win for quite some time. Ten men as well.

[Spike Mandela]

Brilliant night and brilliant celebrations which continued long in to the night on returning to Alloa:greengrin

[patlowe]

'Cos it was Hibs.

Haha, ask a silly question...

Seriously though, this was before my time watching Hibs but derby goals at Tynie are always met with a pretty mad celebration. Derby goals in difficult or unexpected circumstances = particularly mad celebration (See John O'Neill goal during Sauzee regime; Shiels when we came from behind; GOC when down to 10 men at ER). Seems pretty clear to me! :greengrin

[Scorrie]

Was right behind the goals when that went in, watched the ball roll towards us and into the net. Everybody went completely radge, celebrations were mental!

[AlbertK86]

Absolutely bedlam in the away end when that went in ...... Fantastic goal Fantastic night

[Purple & Green]

It might be on ihibs istr it was Edinburgh ref bill crombie.

As a 12 year old when Archie scored i ended up miles away from my dad when the carnage set in, I didn't give a toss as i was celebrating like a lunatic with the other hibs fans, I swear to god hand on heart that maybe have been 27 years ago but i truly do remember it clear as day.

[Purple & Green]

It was hearts supporting crombie - it was another 8 years before he got to ref another Edinburgh Derby.

Crombie was famously the ref on 3rd may 1986, Google is a right good giggle reading hearts fans opinions on one of their own

A night I'll always remember. Great win, mental atmosphere and celebrations and you bought a round🍻
