Still makes me chuckle that he managed to become one of the 18 who will be idolised forever. Wonder if we'll remember much about him in 50 years?

Stepped in and done a job at Raith in the 4th round when JC was ill. Everyone in the squad played their part in winning the tournament including the likes of Kevin Thomson who missed out on the final 18.

Dagnall also played well in the League Cup semi at Tynecastle. Not the best player ever to play for Hibs but played his part and glad he seems to be doing well back down south.

I think we will. Everyone involved with Hibs in the 2015/16 season will be remembered for generation to come, especially those involved in the cup final matchday squad.

Was lucky to see this team many times in my early days following Hibs.

We have not come close to as good a team as this since and probably never will.

Only criticism of them would be that they should have won a lot more than they did, but that was probably down to a very good Celtic side at the time.

[inglisavhibs]

The best 11 I've seen play together, a privilege we used to follow them home and away and really did expect to win and were always entertained. Pretty sure they would have won the league if Brownlie hadn't broken his leg. Great team to watch.

Agree, the bizarre decision to sell Jimmy orourke didn't help either in my opinion.

I believe they only played 22 times together and don't think they lost to Celtic. 72 SCF didn't have Cropley so doesn't count. May have been away legs to Sporting Lisbon and Hajduk Split were only losses and lead to Turnbull deciding he needed to strengthen the team. From start of season 1972-73 to East Fife game early Jan 73 Hibs won League Cup, went top of league on goal difference and got to QF of CWC. Don't think TT played together again after Brownlie broke his leg.

I think the problem was lack of strength in depth. 12th man in TT was John Hazel.

My big brother's team. My dad's as well but he had also had the fortune to see the famous five et al. Unfortunately for me I just caught the tail end of Turnbulls Tornadoes but hey ho.

However I picked up a copy of Ted Bracks The Game On New Years Day 0-7 with the foreword by Jimmy O'Rourke today and it looks a cracker so going to enjoy reading it over the next few days or so.

Also picked up a beer glass with the old badge on it with the crown football and laurels in a charity shop. Looks the real deal with old style type glass and handle and is in great nick.

That mob are the reason I am the Hibee I am today ... i grew up watching them ... I know the young uns amongst us have there favourites but do you think any other of the modern mob would have you turning up at ER to play ANY team in Europe and you expect to win?

Well if you ever saw this team play then that's what you felt ....

Easy one for me. Even though the Cup Final winners will become lauded by many in years to come, this TT team, as a whole, without shadow of a doubt were the best I've seen.:thumbsup:

Of the 22 games from the ones I witnessed favorite three are:

3. First half New Year's game at Tynie 5-0 (7-0)
2. Second half down the slope v Sporting Lisbon 5-0 (6-1)
1. Second half 1972 LCF 2-1 (2-1)

[KSA Hibee]

TT for me were defo THE best Hibs team I had the pleasure to watch but the team that brought me THE most pleasure as a 56 yearly old Hibs die hard turned up 21st May 2016 ..

Was scrolling down the post just waiting for this one
My thoughts exactly, no player since can match the magic of youth

[HibbyAndy]

Any team with Derek Riordan in it.. I never saw the famous five so can't add any them, But i did see a die hard hibs fan score over a 100 goals for hibs with both feet and some absolute screamers in their too !

The other 10 i'm no really fussed but Derek Riordan in my life time is the best player i have seen in the flesh.

You serious with Sneddon?

Yes.

I liked him. He spent over ten years with us and always worked his socks off. May not have been the best ever right back but was an integral part of Hibernian throughout the eighties.
