[monktonharp]

the scorer plays for Sorting Lisbon . we pumped them 6-2 at ER. Stanton would never let him score like that. END OFF.

[Jonnyboy]

Yep. I remember being in the press room after a game at ER and Morais was the player coming in to be interviewed. One hack asked if Morais could speak English :greengrin

Until Bayern humped Sporting a few seasons ago, our 6-1 victory was their biggest ever Euro defeat. IIRC, we still hold that honour for Napoli & Rosenborg. My local bar owner in Olhos D'Agua is a Sporting fanatic & I've promised to introduce him to the great Jim O who scored a hat trick at ER!

[Scorrie]

Green socks. Portugal copied from Hibs. True that is... I think

[WeeRussell]

Easter Road and the Algarve are two of my favourite places on Earth.

[Craig_HFC]

Russell Latapy spent a large part of his career playing in Portugal and was playing there just before he signed for us (IIRC)

[Keith_M]

The Portugese team has historically had a number of Brazilians and some female Hibbies also have...


...OK, I won't finish that as it's a family board.


:wink:

[NAE NOOKIE]

Our walking football team containing a few Hibbies played out there in May ..... you could see that the Portuguese national team had adopted our style of play, hence their success in the tournament, I had wondered who these folk round the pitch taking notes were :greengrin

Now that was a night

Sure was!! 5 goals down the slope!! Scored 5 goals in a half 5 times that season. One was near the turn of the year but I can't remember the opponents, only that they were p--- poor & played in a really manky strip, famously described by Alan Bold as like spilt red wine lying in an overflowing ash tray!!
