Who scored the first hibs goal you seen live?

[berwickhibee]

I will start

Gordon rae in the skol Festival trophy,
2-1 win versus hearts. 1979.

[B.H.F.C]

Darren Jackson. Penalty v Falkirk.

[Hiber-nation]

I'm not 100% sure what my first game was. Might have been home to Dundee in 1966 in which case it would have been Eric Stevenson.

[Wilson]

Tommy McIntyre at home to Motherwell.

[Berwickhibby]

1969 Jimmy O'Rourke against Falkirk at Easter Road

[Bobo]

Peter Cormack v Dunfermline 1967

[BILLYHIBS]

Colin Stein v Leeds United 1968

[SteveHFC]

Paul Tosh on larsson’s debut for Celtic.

[hibby rae]

Keith Wright vs Chelsea. Think it was his first ever game for Hibs, or first game at Easter Road anyway.

[Lancs Harp]

I think it was Kenny Miller in the 5-2 win over Dundee in 1999

[berwickhibee]

Tommy McIntyre at home to Motherwell.

First game of the season? Late goal?

[O'Rourke3]

Great idea. Had to look it up. Jim Blair in a 6-0 home victory against Malmo in 1970

And vaguely remember a bit of crowd trouble as game started.

[lyonhibs]

How in the sweet hell do people remember/keep track of this stuff. Probability says that mine would've been Wright, Jackson, McGinlay or maybe at a push Gareth Evans but I've not got a scooby who it was or indeed what my first game was :greengrin

Ally mcleod penalty 1/12/79. Can't remember anything about the wee tricky winger with the beard that was making his home debut but I thought mcleod was Barry!

[hibee_girl]

Shaun Dennis against Airdrie in March 99

[Ozyhibby]

I think Ally McLeod, a penalty v Celtic 2-1 win at Easter road sometime in the late 70’s.
That’s how I remember it but I could be totally wrong.
I do know I was supporting Celtic that day.[emoji23]

[DJ HIBBY]

Paul Tosh on larsson’s debut for Celtic.

Sure it was lee power

[son of haggart]

Think it would be Jimmy O'Rourke in the East of Scotland Shield in 1968/9. Either that or somebody in one of the Fairs Cup games.

[weedgiehibbie]

Was Gordon rae playing for thistle?

Yeah :agree: Good memory mate - didn't know at the time but ive posted the highlights over on the video thread and yip indeed it was his return to Easter Road

[NASAHIBS]

George Best v Celtic at ER, Jan 1980, 1-1 draw. Not a bad player for your first Hibs goal!

[Mibbes Aye]

I had to look it up but I think it was Des Bremner against Morton, late seventies. My cousins took me for several years then I drifted away until the early nineties and came back to what was right :greengrin

[SideBurns]

Tony Higgins, 1978, 1-0 win v St.Mirren at ER. Arthur Duncan had a goal chalked off in the 2nd half.

Hibs were in yellow away tops with green shorts; the Scotsport cameras were there so assuming the home top with 'Bukta' emblazoned across the front contravened advertising rules at the time!?

[Dibben]

Joe Tortolano. Equaliser in a 1-1 home draw against Motherwell in 1988.

Remember the game quite well. 2-0.

Thistle had a good support at the game.

Derek Riordan VS Killie. Dalglish scored the winner a few minutes later.

Love that sentence. Dalglish scoring for hibs.

[The 90+2]

Don’t know 😂. Hibs v Raith right before Euro 96. Sure it ended 1-1 but can’t find any info on it at all. I’ve a feeling Rougier scored for them.

[hibsness]

Colin Stein v Leeds United 1968
Ditto. I was 8 years old and I was sitting on a barrier with my dad holding on to me. Then I realised that if Hibs scored he'd jump up and I'd end up on the deck so elected to stand.Still managed to see the goal though. Gave my class at school a totally objective report of the game the next day. Amazing night, seared on my memory.

OK. That would make sense, Hibs down the slope second half.

[GibbytheHibby2]

I think it must have been Gordon Rae. Weird thing is I recall drew Jarvie scoring a header for the Dons in a 2-1 win, but I can’t recall the Hibs goals. Think it was only my second visit to ER, even though my memory has me much younger than 8 which I must have been.

We leapfrogged Aberdeen to go 2nd in the league.

[ancient hibee]

It wasn’t the first goal but I saw Eddie Turnbull score three against Airdrie in 1954.Score was 8-1 .

[Since452]

Don't know who it was but was at McDiarmid Park around 1990. Hibs were wearing white with green sleeves

Paul Kane against Hearts at Easter Road on 25 August 1984.

I had recently moved to Edinburgh to a flat in Iona Street. The game was a typical derby of that era. Hibs leading and looking like winning until Hearts came up with two late goals to win 2-1.

The match was at the height of the miners' strike and the police escorts were given a chorus of in support of Arthur Scargill as there was a near riot after the match.

[ChilliEater]

Had to look it up, but it was this game:

http://www.ihibs.co.uk/hibs/game.php?gameid=5925

Ally McLeod v Motherwell. Would have been probably my third or 4th game - the others had been 0-0 draws or 1-0 defeats to Dundee Utd and Aberdeen. It's maybe one for the "Late 70's demise" thread, but that's not a bad looking team - Derek Spalding didn't go on to do much, so I guess wasn't great, and Ally Scott was mince, but the rest of that team was pretty good.

[heretoday]

Tommy Preston v Valencia April 1963.

[Wakeyhibee]

According to Fitbastats it was Alex Cropley v Motherwell in the LC sections Aug 71. I don't remember anything other than a "liftover" in the main stand.

[ElginHibee]

Almost definitely not my first game but the first goal I remember was Andy Goram scoring, Wikipedia tells me it was against Morton in the Premier Division in 88.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Looks like it may have been Andy Watson V Celtic in 87

[JohnM1875]

Just checked. It was an own goal haha! In a 1-0 play off win against Airdie in 97.

My dad took me to ER at a ridiculously young age my first memory was Willie Irvine scoring against Aberdeen in a 1-5 defeat I think.. looking back I don’t know how we survived as a club.

[nonshinyfinish]

I remember my first two games fairly clearly: a 0–0 vs Dundee and a 0–1 defeat to Rangers, although I was shocked to find that the two games were a year apart. I guess my dad tried to ease me in slowly to the low-key misery of following Hibs.

As we failed to score in those first two games (:rolleyes:), I'll need to get up in the loft and have a look at my programmes to find out when I finally saw us hit the net.

[AltheHibby]

9/9/72 at Easter Road.

Same. As a 7-8 year old used to sneak in for the last 10 mins once they opened the exit gates but I can't for the life of me remember any goals. Must have seen some games officially back then before we moved away from Leith for c.6 years (late 60s) as I have a vague memory of going with my dad and brother and my dad asking the bloke next to us in the queue to give me a "lift-over" when going through the turnstiles. Again though no idea what games never mind goalscorers.

[aljo7-0]

Alan Gordon (I think) in a 4 - 0 win at Easter Road V Alloa (I think) in 1971 or so. Very vague memories - other than i'm convinced Alan Gordon got a hat trick and he certainly was my hero at the time.

Pat stanton's equalizer against hearts 1975, great moment, i was a young lad then, but i will never forget the delight in my dad's face when we scored

[Skol1972]

Bit of a difficult one for me. The first time that I saw Hibs live was in 1960 as a nine year old at Fir Park Motherwell, which was my home town and I supported then. I know that Joe Baker scored that day but not sure if it was Hibs first in a 4-3 victory.
My family moved to Edinburgh in 1962 and after a couple of years I started going to both Easter Road and Tynecastle with friends for about half a season before deciding that Hibs was the team for me.

Therefore the first goal that I saw as a Hibs supporter was Jimmy O'Rourke in the 4-0 game at Tynecastle in 1965. I still remember the fans being disappointed when the teams were announced and Neil Martin was out injured. About 10 minutes later 2 goals from O'Rourke and 2 from Eric Stevenson has banished that disappointment.

[Badabing]

Pat Stanton around 1970, 20 yard screamer on bitterly cold day at Easter Road. We won one nil can't remember who against but it might have been Dunfermline.

[Greenio]

Great q.

Had to search a bit for this.

But my first game was 8th October 1994, when we beat Rangers 2-1 at home.

Gordon Hunter scored the first, Basil Boli equalised, can't remember who got our winner, O'Niell maybe, but I do remember Gazza grabbin his arse cheeks at us while we were giving him the 'you fat bastid' chant and Boli getting sent off before the end.

Good times

[Radium]

Must admit to having learnt something, the earliest game I can remember is different to what I thought and I have remembered the wrong scorer [emoji51]

2nd January 1978, as a nine year old got to go to my first New Year game, against Clydebank.

Remember being taken to the Cowshed as we had my 5 year old brother with us.

I have always thought that Bobby Hutchinson scored after a stramash right in front of us. Having checked, he is not listed as a scorer.

Thanks to Fitbastats I'm pleased my memory didn't deceive me (although it helped with the date). February 1975 Hibs 2-1 v Dundee. 1-0 down at half time King Paddy scored the equaliser and a Tony Higgins winner (I think it was also the game that saw Alan Gordon debut for Dundee but I'm not sure and fitbastats doesn't have details for Dundee).

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Hibs 4 St Johnstone 1, 19th Nov 1983. A Willie Irvine hatrick and Arthur Duncan scored the goals. I'll say that given Irvine got 3, he probably got the first.

Na na na na na - OOH!

Vs Motherwell in 1989 (ish). We won the game 3-2. Weir and Collins also scored.

It was also my first experience of ER and specifically the east terracing. It wasn't a big crowd but there was singing before the match and throughout.

[Smiggy 7-0]

Pat Stanton v Aberdeen January 1971 and it marked 3 things

1. First game I attended (thanks to my dear Dad.
2. First time Aberdeen had conceded a goal in over 1100 minutes.
3. The legend that was Joe Baker's return.

Will live with me forever.

Either stevie Cowan or Gordon Durie in a 2 - 2 draw v celtic in 86...

Not sure if it was the first game I attended but the oldest programme I have is 6th October 1956. We drew 1-1 with Queens Park. The team that day was - Wren; Grant, Muir; Higgins, Paterson, Combe; Smith, Turnbull, Reilly, Harrower, Ormond. The programme had John Fraser as right wing but Smith replaced him according to my 7 year old writing.

The ref was Mr Irvine of Aberdeen. Can’t remember much about the game but I’m sure he would have been rubbish!

I have tried but can’t find out who scored our goal

Grant Brebner own goal v Dunfermline. Who can tell the year without cheating?

2002?

Chris Killen in the 5-0 drubbing of the mighty Dinaburg in 2006.

A fine July day that was...(well the football / score was, weather was atrocious).

[Prof. Shaggy]

Either Joe Davis (pen) or Colin Stein. Can't remember (or never knew) who scored first. I have a very vague notion the penalty was pretty much a consolation.

It was a League Cup group match in August 1967 and we lost decisively to Dundee by 4 goals to the aforementioned 2.

[Superfurry72]

Paul Tosh on larsson’s debut for Celtic.

Lee Power scored the opener in that game. Tosh didn’t score. EDIT: Sorry, I see a few people have responded already!!

[Superfurry72]

Great q.

Had to search a bit for this.

But my first game was 8th October 1994, when we beat Rangers 2-1 at home.

Gordon Hunter scored the first, Basil Boli equalised, can't remember who got our winner, O'Niell maybe, but I do remember Gazza grabbin his arse cheeks at us while we were giving him the 'you fat bastid' chant and Boli getting sent off before the end.

Good times

Kevin Harper got the winner

In my defence I was taking the team from the programme. The only change was fir Gordon Smith but maybe my dad told me he was the only one that mattered! Thanks BW I will print this and file it in the programme

I’d need some help with this one from some of our more historically knowledgeable contributors.

My first game was the Hibs v St Mirren game in either 1963 or 1964 maybe.? when goalie Willie Wilson got injured and played on the wing with a bandaged head whilst Cormack went in goals.

I’ve always had it in my head it was 1-0 to us and was a night game but looking back on records, I cannot find the exact date, or who scored what I thought was the solitary goal.?

[Seekyit]

Either Joe Harper or Ally MacLeod in a 2-0 win over Dundee, League Cup, August 1975. As someone mentioned above, I just saw those green shirts with white sleeves coming out the tunnel and that was me hooked.

Only thing I can see that might tie in 18/8/1965 HIBS 1 v 0 St Mirren League Cup tie on a Wednesday night scorer Eric Stevenson The Match Programme front cover features some HIBS stars of the future including a young John Blackley

Pretty sure I saw Cormack take over in goals versus Hearts with the trademark yellow jersey hanging outside his shorts and about ten sizes too big for him Both shut outs by the way

Ahh, well if it is that one, I wasn’t as young a starter as I previously thought. I had my first match as about 4 year old, but if that’s the date, I’d just turned 6.! Cheers. 👍

Alan Gordon 1972 Dryborough cup final early goal
I moved to East Lothian from Inverness in the summer. I had been a Hibs fanatic since I was about 7 years old. I went to the cup final on the East Lothian Celtic supporters bus from Haddington. My physics teacher who was a big Celtic supporters on the bus
. I remember that day well. I got lifted for ( as my summons said)making my water. (piss@@g) which I was fined £5. I was allowed into the match cos I had ID I seem to remember some people leaving early thinking it was all over and trying to get back in when the roars went up.What a day that was . Cant beiievethat was nearly 50 years ago. GGTTH
