A spot of bother at Easter Road during Hibs v Rangers - 1978

Aah the good an sometimes not so good auld days.

[Iggy Pope]

Some great stuff you’ve posted on there Iggy, hope you don’t mind them being shared on here!

Course not. It’s lovely. I photographed them out of an old scrapbook I kept across a couple of seasons back then. Wish I hadn’t stuck them down to the pages quite as securely now!

Peter Marinello, November 1969 I think - Hibs v Motherwell game finished 1-1. It was my birthday too!

I was 11 and had to go to a friends birthday party in corstorphine and was disappointed I couldn't go to the game - and also disappointed when I saw the result. I remember the day well - maybe because of the snow on the pitch. I think they used an orange ball that day.

[southsider]

Reminds me of the OF game with the orange ball. Boring 0-0 draw. Smeltic players wouldn’t touch it and Oldco players would not kick it.

According to Wikipedia, you weren't the only one that missed the game, as the attendance is listed as 3,464.

Was at that game. Proper winters those years. It was colder than a penguins chuff standing at the centre line on the east terrace.

Hibs are selling something like it - a retro 1970s top with an 'HFC' badge and no sponsors - at the club shop, though it's a slightly different variation. There's also a famous five era top there too, which looks better, IMO.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Somebody posted a link on facebook to a twitter film of Sunshine on Leith at the cup final taken from on the pitch at the Sevco end. Sorry, I don't know how to link to it, but its the best film of SOL I've ever seen .. only the first verse for some reason.

That is just such a beautiful strip

My favourite ever Hibs strip

And what a player Alex Cropley was too

Turnbulls boys all brilliant but Cropley was my favourite player he had everything.
The strip reminds me of my early teenage years and watching Hibs fear no one and beating most.:thumbsup:

Wtf £45.. Think I bought the original for £2.99

[Aim Here]

Wtf £45.. Think I bought the original for £2.99

Even without taking into account the extra premium pricing added to all things fitba' these days, something that cost £3 in 1972 would, just from the actions of compound inflation, cost £39 today, so the price difference isn't that horrendous.

Of course, automation and sweatshoppery has probably made clothes a lot cheaper in the interim...

But definitely the completely wrong shade of green which means it’s retro credentials are somewhat restricted :rolleyes:

It’s not that much later and I don’t recall Spalding hitting the first team until about 74 (amidst a pretty disastrous run of results).
The badge in the photo screams 72 cup final squad though and I think that’s before Derek Spalding graduated, certainly before he hit the glossy magazines. But I’ll leave it there as I really don’t know and I’ve gone full circle. I’m thinking it’s John Hazel now as the time is right.

In photo 4 I suppose it was an end of season E of Sc Shield match with small crowd if really May . Cave roof very recent then ? Photo 5 is Cave closed off just before it was seated , nothing to do with segregation . ECWC match v Besa soon after had half Cave open for standing .

Question - see when the big two tier east terrace was chopped, did they remove some of the lower tier aswell as the top section or just the top section?

Also never realised they cut away as much from the front of the east when they built the west and widened the pitch, you can see how much was taken away in the photo above as they cut it back to the roof pillars, around a quarter of the stand. It wasn’t half butchered before we built the new east but I still miss it!

Yes they did, half was knocked off the height of the bottom section of the old east terrace. Also taken away was the corners between the east and FF stand and the east and the Dunbar end (South stand) both these areas held thousands, especially the corner between the east and FF.

I used to love coming in the turnstiles at the back of the east terrace and climbing up endless stairs to get to the top then climb down the stairs to the dividing wall above the pathway separating the top and bottom sections.

Happy days:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

The Football Arms became Shades and is now a house.

[SideBurns]

Thanks lads. I remember Shades; sad it's no longer a boozer. Tamsons has been called that as long as I can remember, wonder when the name changed.

One side effect of the bigger crowds in the last few years must be an upturn in fortunes for the pubs in and around Easter Road. Always hoped the Cooper's Rest might reopen.

Sorry, can’t help with pointing you in the direction of the photographer. Given it was taken from the opposite end it’s unlikely to be any of the regular Hibs snappers. It’s a belting image though, and one I’d quite like a copy of myself.

One side effect of the bigger crowds in the last few years must be an upturn in fortunes for the pubs in and around Easter Road. Always hoped the Cooper's Rest might reopen.

I can't see the Coopers ever opening. It's used as a builders store at the moment, all fixtures and fittings were ripped out so anybody would have to practically rebuild and the pubs on ER aren't over busy midweek these days.

In black and white I’m not sure if that 2nd Photo is the Hibs or Hearts end.... fellah in the middle of the shot being ‘attended to’ looks like he’s been stabbed in the erse so probably Hertz! :greengrin But the fellah in the Argyle knit being eased aside of the same incident looks vaguely familiar as a fellah called Paul who was a Hawkhill regular and might’ve came from Livingston or somewhere? Any Hawkhill veterans of the 70s / 80s know who I mean?

Thanks Carheenlea and Bostonhibby

I love this image for it's sheer joy of Sir David's goal and of course because I am in it. I spent hours and hours searching every sports photographer website I could find to try and get it, including Alan Rennie's site from which I have purchased a couple of other belters. This image was posted on .net some time ago, perhaps by either of you and that prompted my, as yet, unsuccessful search. I have it as a screen saver but it would be great to get a high res 12 x 10 to go along with the others. I'll keep searching.

Once again thanks for responding. It's much appreciated. CH

The team was still full of established internationals and the youngsters like Jordan and Frank Gray were hardly plucked from obscurity. The only unknowns were the sub goalie and Ellam. Lorimer is bull****ting. Remember that night well. Hibs were awesome, just couldnae score. I was at both legs and we played them off the park in both games

[dchibs]

Was my favourite player then. Imagine what he would be worth in today's crazy transfer market.

mine too his passing was brilliant, always remember his first game he took all the corners and free kicks and hadn't a clue who he was, what a player.

[dchibs]

Was at the game did Hibs not claim Revie was on the pitch during penelties

Alan Gorden scored a perfectly good goal was chopped off for offside,

[bigwheel]

Was at the game did Hibs not claim Revie was on the pitch during penelties

We certainly claimed Bremner left the pitch before the penalties ....

That is right.

It was used from 1950 to 1967 and was for arriving fans only: it only had one platform.
