Really like these sort of things. Good to see this. Goes to show how much of an impact the club can have on people.

Just watched it - brilliant stuff
*I'm not crying, you are!
They should be showing this to every player just before ko on Sunday. Show them what is means to be part of the Hibs family

Couldn't agree more.

[fiolex1]

Is what being a Hibby is all about!

[Power]

Powerful stuff.

[murray26]

What a lovely but sad story.. this shows the best side to our beautiful game now let’s get a result for this lovely family to take home with them.

[lyonhibs]

As someone who's old man will never get to take his grandkids to Easter Road, that's for me near enough bawling my eyes out on the train home ffs!

Get that on loop at the training ground for the next week. If the players don't turn up and put in a performance after seeing that, then we are in a worse place than I think we currently are.

[Stuart93]

Been so much talk of people staying away, wanting us beat on Sunday if this doesn’t put fire in your belly nothing will.

Beautiful video 💚

[Sammy7nil]

So after all the negativity is this something the club have finally got right this season? :greengrin

:top marksWell said mate. Let’s hope the team can win on Sunday.

[AltheHibby]

What a wonderful story.

I seem to have got some dust in my eyes while reading it. 😢

[HFC93]

What a great video. Hopefully Rena and family enjoy the game on Sunday.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Beautiful :top marks

[hibee_girl]

What a great video that is.

I still get to go to the football with my grandad and I’m fully aware of how lucky that makes me 💚

[Sir David Gray]

Really nice story. I hope we can do it for this family on Sunday.

[The Spaceman]

Amazing story, really touching. Rest In Peace Alex, glad you got to see us lift the Scottish Cup before your time came :not worth lets get a win for him and his family on Sunday.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Nice one! Well done ladies.

[hibby6270]

Lump in the throat stuff!! :top marks

[Jonnyboy]

Very moving and heartfelt. RIP Alex - Rena still has her Scottish accent and I bet as a proud Leither you did too.

[CMurdoch]

Ron Gordon being involved and seeing this video will help him understand what he has bought and lessen the chance of any naughtiness further down the track.
Great stuff. Would bring a tear to a glass eye!

Yes I thought that. Show the players this. Loved away for nearly 5 years and comeback every two years and take in games. My Filipino wife lives football and says there is nothing like SOL.

[The Harp]

What a wonderful tribute to Alex from his wife and family. There won't be many who can watch that video without having a year in their eye.
Let's hope the team play their part on Sunday in making the family's pilgrimage to Easter Road a truly memorable one.

[Deansy]

Lump in the throat stuff!! :top marks

Agree - my parents were also called Rena & Alex and my dad was also a die-hard Hibee !. Beautifully done video and my thanks and appreciation go to Rena for her telling their story !

[Forza Fred]

What a wonderful tribute to Alex, and his family.
Terrific video and well done to all involved

I live in Oz, and was involved along with others, in the setting up of the Australia Branch of the supporters association, 32 years ago.

It is still active today, with members in every state of Australia, and we’ve even joined up with our Kiwi cousins.

We have a very active and socially inclusive ‘group’ on Facebook, but we still hear from time to time, a story like Alex’s, where it turns out, the family were completely unaware of the existence of many like minded people.

Facebook is obviously not for everyone, but If you have Hibs minded relatives in Australia or New Zealand, let them know of our existence, we’re not hard to find, and offer a platform to meet, and exchange views on all things Hibernian.

Unfortunately, I never got to meet Alex, but his story is an inspiring one, and I hope his family can take comfort from the way the wider Hibs family, have reacted so positively to it.

[Hibbyradge]

Very nice. Tear in the eye.

[Hibeesmad]

Brilliant, hope the boys can do it for Alex and his family on Sunday.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Brilliant....

My heart was broken.....

Tears 😭 in my eyes

100% .

[coldingham hibs]

Despite the result I hope Rena & the girls enjoyed being at the game today.

[Bright_Hibee]

Despite the result I hope Rena & the girls enjoyed being at the game today.

I echo these sentiments. I hope they all enjoyed being at the game, it was hugely significant for them. Much love to them all from Canada 💚

[Pedantic_Hibee]

I hope Rena told Hecky to GTF

[Sammy7nil]

At least they now know exactly what it is like being a Hibby

[Tom Hart RIP]

I sat next to Rena today and the family loved it despite the result. Rena went crazy when Hibs scored and was looking forward to seeing the fans sing SOL at full time but it wasn’t to be.
