Scottish League Division One (Old) 8/4/1972

Hibernian 7 v 1 St Johnstone

Stanton
Edwards
ORourke
Baker
Gordon 2
Duncan

There was something happening down Easter Road way the Tornadoes were starting to take shape but still not quite as we know it

Hibernian blew St Johnstone away with a scintillating display of fast attacking football goals from Stanton Edwards ORourke Baker Gordon 2 and Duncan in a totally brilliant display

Alex Rennie scored a consolation goal for St Johnstone in what was HIBS biggest win since they beat Partick Thistle 7-0 in September 1966

Hibs: Herriot Brownlie and Schaedler McEwan Blackley and Stanton Edwards ORourke Baker Cropley and Duncan

Att: 6358

Sadly this was to be the Baker Boys last goal for HIBS

I actually attended his last game for HIBS a Scottish Cup Semi Final versus Rangers in front of a crowd of 76174 on a hot sunny Saturday afternoon at Hampden one week after the St Johnstone game

Hibs started nervously and found themselves down to an Alex MacDonald goal but second half HIBS rallied Peter McCloy parried a Baker shot into the path of ORourke who had no hesitation in burying the ball into the back of the net to silence the large Rangers support

The replay took place two weeks later and HIBS blew Rangers away with a display of fast attacking football Stanton opening the scoring after 12 minutes and Alex Edwards completed the scoring after dispatching a Hazel knockdown into the net

It was a superb display from HIBS and Rangers could not compete with the accuracy and speed of the Hibernian passing in a game HIBS totally dominated from start to finish Ole! Ole!

I do not think any of the Supporters Buses returned to Edinburgh with their windows in tact

Both of these games made a young Billyhibs realise what a horrible and despicable club Rangers really were and they certainly did not like it up em!

Joe Baker was an unused sub

Scottish League Championship 9/4/2016

Alloa 1 v 0 HIBS

Weeks away from immortality HIBS continued to stutter in the League losing this encounter to a Duffy goal that had shades of England 1966 written all over it and was doubtful if it had actually crossed the line

HIBS failed to convert chances that fell to Hanlon Gray Stokes Keatings and Cummings against Jack Ross’s basement boys before Oxley saved a late strike from Duffy

Hibernian 2 v 1 Rangers

Turnbull pen
Fraser

This Scottish Cup Semi Final replay took place the midweek after a thrilling 2-2 draw between the teams at Hampden Aitken and Preston being the HIBS heroes

Hibs had been going through a few extra training sessions in the days before the tie and the extra effort paid off as they triumphed 2-1 and progressed to the final where they would play Clyde

The replay goals were scored by Turnbull from the spot and Fraser but every single player that night was a hero and the support travelled back to Edinburgh singing their praises It had been 56 years since HIBS lifted that trophy and the win against Rangers gave them their first chance to do so since they lost 2-1 in the 1947 final versus Aberdeen

Hibs 1 v 0 Aberdeen

Dens Park

Following a 0-0 draw the replay was once again staged at Dens Park Again it was a hard entertaining game with both teams opening up a bit which favoured Hibernian but Willie Harper still had to pull off some fine saves one of which showed Harper to be the best goalkeeper in Scotland The Hibees put Aberdeen under a lot of pressure which mounted as the match got older in 85 minutes Dunn’s shot hit the upright with great force It was a first time effort and easily the best shot of the match Then two minutes later Harry Ritchie went on an unstoppable run down the right wing and the Aberdeen goalkeeper could not hold his thunderbolt shot leaving Darkie Walker to ram home the winning goal

HIBS opponents in the final were to be Airdrie a highly talented team who were only just pipped by Rangers for the championship in this season

Souness Mulkerrin and Hugh Higgins were the HIBS deputies and despite the fact that it was midweek a huge travelling support witnessed the visitors dominating throughout scoring four times in the second half without reply through Souness who got two Mulkerrin and Buchanan to lift the league championship with four games still to play

Scottish Cup Final 11/4/1914

Ibrox Stadium

Hibs 0 v 0 Celtic

Special trains carried thousands of Hibernian supporters packed like herring in a barrel to the great Irish Festival in Glasgow The HIBS and Celtic hordes mingled together in good humoured banter and God Save Ireland was sung until their lungs nearly burst as 50000 squeezed into Ibrox A real gale was blowing and the general opinion was that whoever won the toss their decision of ends would win the game Mattha Paterson won the toss and booked the wind the HIBS old tactics being grab a first half goal and hang on to it. HIBS early play was a joy to see just like the ould Hibernians in the past the defence was rock solid and crisp passing between the forwards saw them descend on the Celtic goal
There is such a thing as tradition attached to Hibernian Football Club and this was plain to see with their green stonewall defence and their dashing helter skelter forwards The gale however spoiled the finishing from Jimmy Hendren Bobby Wilson and Sam Fleming. Celtic the best team in Scotland also played as good a game as the conditions would allow and they had some unconvincing chances. At half time there was no scoring

In the second half with the wind now at their backs Celtic had the better chances and Willie Allan had to show his worth and once the angels hovered over him as Celtic hit the post The HIBS forwards were still combining well but were less effective but as so often happens in a Cup Final a golden opportunity presented itself for HIBS to steal the match Internationalist Willie Smith broke completely clear of the Celtic defence with one of his famous artful dodger swerving runs and the Celtic goal lay at his mercy he just could not miss Was it that he swerved it at too sharp an angle was it the windy conditions perhaps it was just the gods Willie screwed the ball beautifully across the Celtic goal but it went just past the post This was in the last minute of the match poor HIBS they had come so near to accomplishing their mission and poor Willie he was to suffer from recurring nightmares about the incident To the credit of the HIBS officials we are told Willie was never criticised nor were there any recriminations it was not in the philosophy of the football school these Irish gentlemen ran at Easter Road and gentlemen they surely were So the Final ended in no scoring a result no one would have predicted

The cup replay against Aberdeen led to a change in the rules. We listed McLeod and one other(maybe Campbell)as 12 and 14 -the accepted numbers for subs on the team sheet but they were in the starting 11. Aberdeen protested after the game but we pointed out that the rules only stated that 13 players should be listed. The rules were subsequently changed to show a starting 11 plus subs.
It was a very foggy night and I followed a supporters bus away from the match for some distance until I noticed it was an Ayrshire supporters bus.

HIBS dominated the early play squandering a couple of early chances to score before Tony Higgins finally gave HIBS the lead with a shot that swerved over Peter Latchford and into the unguarded net after the Celtic defence had failed to clear an Ally MacLeod cross into the box

Celtic equalised on 30 minutes when Ronnie Glavin created a chance for promising youngster George McCluskey to slot home

The half ended 1-1 and HIBS must have regretted those missed chances

The second half was uneventful until in the dying minutes Big Dode Stewart blundered with a passback allowing Tommy Burns to nip in and rattle the base of Mike McDonald’s post At the other end Hibs missed a goalden chance when Latchford dropped a cross at Willie Murray’s feet and with the very last kick of the ball Dowie drew an excellent full length save from McDonald

The Pat Stanton Final

Hibs finally got a deserved revenge for the 6-1 humiliation in May at Hampden with an outstanding performance

Skipper Pat Stanton inspiring his team from midfield instigating wave after wave of attack with his driving runs leading by example scoring the first and laying on the second for his old Holy Cross Academy pal Jimmy O’Rourke

Hibs had chances to add to their score with Billy McNeil clearing a drive off the line from Alan Gordon and even although King Kenny pulled one back for the champions in 73 minutes HIBS held out for a deserved victory

After the match Celtic Manager Jock Stein personally stood and congratulated every HIBS player and shook each one by the hand as they left the field

Probably the highlight of my HIBS supporting career a brilliant performance against a very good Celtic side

Scottish Cup win as well of course

9/12/1970 Inter Cities Fairs Cup Round 3 Leg 1

Hibernian 0 v 1 Liverpool

Hibs had replaced Willie MacFarlane before kick-off with former Man City Coach Dave Ewing

Top scorer Joe McBride was relegated to the bench and fans’ favourite Johnny Graham was nowhere to be seen

HIBS started well and were denied a stonewall penalty when Larry Lloyd blatantly pulled back Kenny Davidson inside the box The Referee ignored furious claims from the HIBS players and fans and waved play on

Hibs had chances to score but ultimately they came to nothing

The fans got their wish and Joe McBride was introduced with half an hour remaining After five minutes Arthur Duncan bulleted home a header from an Eric Stevenson cross but the goal was unfairly disallowed as the Referee claimed that Joe McBride had fouled Ray Clemence in the build up to the goal a claim McBride later denied in the dressing room after the game

On 75 minutes going down the slope Steve Heighway used his searing pace to hit the byline a low hard ball across goal a slip by Jim Black “Toshack!” 1-0 Liverpool

This was East Stirling’s last game as East Stirling before changing their name to ES Clydebank

If I recall, Big John was called up by a few of his team mates to take a penalty...., which he duly hit straight at the goalie.
