The beginning of the best spell I have seen as a Hibby, different world - was taken to the 6-1 game by my uncle who was a devoted yam and he wore a Hibs rosette - I still have the rosette, and the press photo of Alan Gordons' goal!

Keep em coming Mo - enjoying this

Absolutely agree. Went to the 6-1 game and stood in the Schoolboys enclosure, filled with hope. Never expected that result and remember being gutted. 106,000 attendance, awesome. Next post from Mo tomorrow will show how we bounced back.

The Hibs fans took defeat badly that day, there must have been close to 40k of us there.
