(Hibs content) Harry Potter and 1986

[lapsedhibee]

Everyone knows at least one story about what happened to Harry in 1986.

I only found out today the other big story, and the one which may explain his pathological hatred/obsession with Hibs.

Apparently Potter was the best young player that ever lived, but got an injury playing against Hibs (reserves) which never really healed, and which cut his prospective magnificent career, including medals and everything, well short.

Is that well known, and is that why he's so bitter about the Hibs? :dunno:

Two years later at his next big career event it was still there. A subsequent enquiry revealed that it was a pole manufactured in leith.

He was going to win the Eurovision song contest that year but Hibs nobbled him on that one as well by telling all the judges that he was nowhere near as good a singer as he claimed to be.

Yep , it was Danny Lennon that cabbaged him

Lennon had a horror leg break in a reserve derby. Fat Robbo going right through the back of him.

Wasn't that 1987 when Ireland won it and that's why they still sing their anti-catholic songs to this day.

Complete myth about him expecting to win the Eurovision song contest. Came about because he was heard to shout "Loo!" and then after he'd lost a lot of liquid there "Water!", and muttering about singlehandedly winning a war, then in the way that these things get conflated and mixed up ...

In Eurovision parlance it would surely be LooLoo he shouted.
Boom - Boom bang a bang.

What’s all the chat about him in the Albert Kidd game? Lots of ‘shat himself’ stuff but never heard the actual story.

He missed Hearts' last game of the season away at Dundee, the most important in his Hearts career, because he had a dodgy stomach. Shat himself on the biggest day of his whole career. Man's a complete bottler. No wonder he's bitter.

I heard that on his way to the final, he was on his way down in the lift and he heard his song on the speaker in the lift. He was really annoyed with Graeme Hogg as he had co-written it. They ended up fighting. It was described as an ecumenical matter and swept under the carpet at the time. The truth was revealed in an Irish documentary.

what a one two from G Harvey for SAK 2nd 😁

:agree: Even his own team mates still can’t stand him for it. Medals Mackay has been forced to carry a framed Scotland shirt everywhere he goes in order to prove he was a football player. He openly criticised Levein after he’d stopped crying.

I thought it was Callum Milne who tackled him?

[GoalsMcGinley]

F*** him.

Catchy, but can't quite place the tune.

Can anyone assist? :greengrin

:top marks

In a little known 'back story' to the saga, Levein surprisingly met up with a certain Gary Lineker in the Leith's Central Bar VIP Lounge in 1988 and had a Blue WKD or two together. Levein owned up to what happened on that fateful day in May 1986 and there were a few tears spilt. Two years later Linekers England met the Republic of Ireland in Italia 90, and the infamous 'Lineker shat it' moment took place. Coincidence? or did he get the idea from jambo craigie as a device to distract the republic's notoriously 'excrement phobic' keeper Pat Bonner at corner kicks? You decide...

Thanks to Joanne JK Rowling, at least we know why Harry Potter insisted that Connor Sammon was sold...
