Undefeated Celtic arrived at Easter Road with maximum points but were left stunned as their ex team mate Joe McBride hammered home two second half goals to seal the points.

The second goal where McBride swivelled in the box to hammer home an unstoppable shot was a finish of the highest quality and is still spoken about by those fans fortunate enough to have witnessed it to this day

Time for one of Eddie Turnbull’s famous half-time pep talks and HIBS came out of the traps flying scoring four goals past Hamish McAlpine in a devastating 18 minute spell

Hibs added a fifth goal late on leaving the United players and their supporters shell shocked at the full time whistle

20/9/1967 Inter Cities Fairs Cup Round 1 Leg 1

Hibernian 3 v 0 Porto

Cormack 2
Stevenson

Another great European night under the lights and HIBS pulled off a major coup by giving a debut to new signing ex Rangers and 1966 Everton FA Cup winner Alex Scott brother of HIBS hero Jim Scott

The Portuguese could not handle his pace and he continually ripped them apart down the right wing. We also had the ball wizardy and trickery of Eric Stevenson over on the left wing

Alex Scott only lasted 60 minutes but what an impact he made giving our forward line a new dimension

HIBS started at 100 miles per hour the Portuguese having to clear the ball off their goal line on no less than three occasions

Scott and Stevenson were repeatedly cutting through either flank and hitting the byline with ease

Hibs took the lead on 25 minutes with Valdemar once again fouling Stevenson and going into the Referees book for his trouble. Pat Quinn took a quick free kick looked up and placed it perfectly for Peter Cormack to head it high into the net with one of his trademark spring like leaps to set Easter Road alight

Ten minutes from the interval the fans were roaring again Alex Scott sent Cormack through on goal one on one with the goalkeeper with a defence splitting pass - Cormack coolly rolled the ball into the empty net beyond the advancing Portuguese keeper

Hibs completed the scoring two minutes after the interval when Quinn took one of his free kick specials out near the corner flag Colin Stein met it with a glancing header teeing it up nicely for the inrushing Stevenson who slammed it home

After 60 minutes Alex Scott left the field of play to be replaced by Colin Grant to a standing ovation

Bobby Parker scored a late penalty for Hearts when remarkably Tommy Younger had the ball firmly in his grasp with both hands Hearts forward Durkin tried to shoulder charge Younger over the goal line so Younger shoved him back and Referee Jack Mowatt awarded a penalty kick

The headlines in the next again day’s newspapers were all about Hearts’ penalty much to the chagrin of HIBS’ hat-trick hero Lawrie Reilly

Hibs urged on by 27000 fans tried to reverse the 0-2 Ist Leg defeat at Brockville but to say that Falkirk parked the bus is an understatement. Falkirk packed their midfield, frustrated at every turn and defended as though their very lives depended upon it.

HIBS finally broke the deadlock with a headed goal from Jimmy O’ Rourke following a neat cross from Bertie Auld on 60 minutes but they just could not get the second goal that would take the game into extra time despite Referee Bobby Davidson waving aside two valid penalty claims

Eddie Turnbull's decision making was becoming very erratic by then. Pat's account of how the transfer was conducted doesn't seem fitting for a man who had given so much and who still had plenty left in the tank, although Jackie Mac did go onto be a great success at Hibs, in time. I just checked the Arbroath game, failure after two bites at it against a part time team.... not the best.

I was probably too young to appreciate what was going on at the time and it was handled very badly by Hibs. But it probably worked out ok for Pat and Hibs. Pat wins league and Scottish cup and Hibs got Jackie Mac for a few years of great service.

Hibernian 6 v 0 Malmo

Blair
McBride 3
Duncan 2

Malmo were starting to establish a European pedigree as recently as 1968 having beaten AC Milan 2- 1 and were flying in their own domestic league

Hibs of course had a European pedigree of their own and seemed too eager to please their fans only scoring the two goals in a sluggish first half- the first from Jim Blair - his first goal for HIBS -when a Jim Black shot cannoned off Joe McBride in a crowded penalty area and he was handily placed to smash the ball home The second two minutes later when a deflected Arthur Duncan shot fell to Joe McBride on the goal line and he doesn’t miss those

The second half was only minutes old when McBride was upended in the box - play on -Cropley went close with an effort and Duncan knocked one just wide

Hibs then scored three goals in 5 minutes the first a Joe McBride header from a Duncan cross to make him HIBS’ all time record scorer in Europe. McBride completed his hat-trick when in typical style he wheeled on the edge of the box and sent a thundering shot past the bewildered goalkeeper Four minutes later Duncan rose to a McBride cross and headed the ball away from the Swedish keeper. Duncan added a sixth 15 minutes from the end when he smashed home a right foot shot

Hibs blew Malmo away with a display of devastating exciting attacking football and it is worth noting that up until this point Joe McBride had scored 59 goals in 85 appearances - no wonder he was such a hero to the HIBS fans who had forgotten all about Colin Stein

A fitting tribute to a great man

Sir Matt always said the first score he looked for on a Saturday was the HIBS

I'm sure Stuart Turnbull was a Bertie signing.

Correct!

Change that to when Bertie Auld became Manager and his target was:

P 36 W 0 L 0 D 36 PTS 36 =Safety

And if your no happy with that you show me your medals and I’ll show you mine 😃

Edit:

I was thinking of a big red face and I got confused between Lindsay Muir and Stuart Turnbull 😃

Handled poorly, but Jackie Mac was a class player....surely not on the same level as Fyfe and Scott ??


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

At the time of the swap Jackie Mac was a Celtic fringe player with a recent history of injury. Nowhere near the stature he eventually achieved. It took Jackie a while to find his fee5 at Hibs, meanwhile the King of Easter Road cruised his way to a title and Scottish Cup at the heart of Celtic’s defence.

BillyHibs mentioned Schades leaving, it was a swap for Bobby buckin Hutchison, not the worst ( see Ally Scott), but not really fit to lace Erich’s boots.

As for Iain Munro for Scott/Fyfe, where do you even begin to try and understand that one.

Rangers were without the injured Richard Gough and the soviet pair Oleg Kuznetsov and Alexei Mikhailichenko who were away on international duty but Rangers were still expected to win this

Hibs put in a solid performance especially by a midfield superbly marshalled by experienced veteran Murdo MacLeod

The breakthrough came on the half hour when exhibee goalkeeper Andy Goram - playing against his old team for the first time -came for a high ball on the edge of his box to punch clear clashing with Mark McGraw - his punch fell as far as Mickey Weir who looking up picked out new signing Keith Wright who headed past two Rangers defenders stranded on the line to put HIBS 1-0 up.

Hibs held on for the next 61 minutes thanks to some stout defending from Gordon Hunter and Tommy McIntyre and some brilliant goalkeeping from John Burridge and in particular one save from McCoist where he held the ball after Mo Johnston’s initial effort hit the post and fell kindly for McCoist Burridge being quick enough to respond to the danger

Merouane Zemmama made his first start for HIBS in 18 months after being on loan to Al Sha’ab in the United Arab Emirates and what an impact he had on this game scoring one and being a constant thorn in the flesh of the Motherwell defence the whole match

Hibs took the lead when Zemmama dispossessed Jim O’Brien in midfield Derek Riordan volleyed the Moroccan’s deep cross back across goal and there was Colin Nish to cushion the ball over the line

Motherwell equalised on 35 minutes when Reynolds beat Graeme Stack to O’Brien’s near post corner to head home from close range.

Hibs took the lead on the 51st minute when Liam Miller dispossessed Coke and threaded the ball through to Riordan who slotted the ball into the far corner from 16 yards.

Things got worse for Well four minutes later when O’Brien chopped down Ian Murray outside the box. John Ruddy the Motherwell goalkeeper anticipating a cross to the back post lined up his wall accordingly and Zemmama duly stepped up and curled a superb free kick just inside his near post. Zemmama was fortunate to escape a booking for over celebrating in front of the HIBS fans massed in the East Stand

Took my info from ‘The Rebel’s’ brilliant biography:

” With many fans still making their way into the Stadium O’Rourke celebrated his 19th birthday by opening the scoring after only two minutes when he blasted a shot past Jim Cruikshank from close range. Two minutes later I added a second from a narrow angle after my first shot had rebounded from the keeper and further goals by both O’Rourke and myself gave us what was an already unassailable 4-0 lead after just 10 minutes.”

No reason to doubt your usually impeccable recollection

My own recollections are even more hazy in my Memory Bank as I was a Hearts Fan at the time :confused:

Hah, love it. IIRC Jimmy scored one with left & one with right. All goals were at Gorgie Road end. That was my 3rd visit to Tiny that year. On NY day I had seen a Willie Hamilton wonder goal give us a great win & in April I had seen Killie steal the league with a 2-0 win. Not a bad year for Hibs in Gorgie!

I remember Bobby Johnstone's return against Kille for a number of reasons. First was the gasp from 20,000 people when Bobby appeared. To say he had put on weight was the understatement of the year. Second was the magical moment about a couple of minutes in when he dribbled around a couple of guys in the centre circle,leaving one on his backside,and while facing the left wing corner flag chipped the ball forty yards with his left foot down the right wing for Joe Baker who promptly fell over it in astonishment. Later in the game we had a free kick about 30 yards which Bobby was organising while Jimmy Brown,the Killie goalie,was sorting his defence.Unnoticed by anyone John Baxter came hurtling up the park and smashed the ball straight into the net. Bobby of course went on to lay on and score numerous goals over the next few months.Happy days.

Brilliant AH, I had an Uncle who worshipped Johnstone. What was the story about him being sick on the pitch? I think people assumed he had been out on the razz the night before. Would have to have seen him play, any Hibs player who can pick a pass as his reputation suggests gets my interest.

He was pretty well known for hitting the sauce and that was alleged to be the reason behind both his departures from Easter Road. The best midfield player I've seen at Hibs(i know we always prefer our heroes from when we were young).Could pass off either foot without looking and in such a way that players could take the ball in their stride. Also one of the select few to score 100 league goals on either side of the border.

He was pretty well known for hitting the sauce and that was alleged to be the reason behind both his departures from Easter Road. The best midfield player I've seen at Hibs(i know we always prefer our heroes from when we were young).Could pass off either foot without looking and in such a way that players could take the ball in their stride. Also one of the select few to score 100 league goals on either side of the border.

Played 263 games for HIBS scoring 142

Played 138 games for Man City scoring 51

Played 158 games for Oldham Athletic scoring 38

So just fell short of 100 goals in competitive games down south

Played 17 times for Scotland scoring 10 goals no bad for a midfielder

Bobby was a wonderful player but as AH says he was seriously unfit on his return. He was helped however by having the pace & youth of Joe Baker up front. Bobby ambled around the centre circle, made some space then would hit a defence splitter into Joe's path & Joe usually did the rest. Great entertainment.

27/9/2001 UEFA Cup Round 1 Leg 2

Hibernian 3 v 2 AEK Athens ( Agg 3-4 )

Luna 2
Zitellii

HIBS had a mountain to climb after losing the first leg in Greece 0-2 against Greek cracks AEK at a sold out Easter Road

Hibs did the unthinkable on the night pulling two goals back through Paco Luna in the second half. The first when he headed in an Ian Murray flick on from a Ulysses De La Cruz cross off the underside of the bar. The second when with only nine minutes to go Ulrik Laursen headed on John O’Neil’s free kick and Luna slid in to knock the ball into the net. Luna missed a goalden opportunity to win the tie in injury time when he infamously failed to convert a diving header at the far post

Two minutes into extra time and first leg hero second half substitute Vassilis Tsartas lashed home a shot from 25 yards that silenced Easter Road. Just before the break he scored a second direct from a corner to pile on the agony

HIBS substitute David Zitelli scored a 35 yard screamer that can only be described as an Exocet with six minutes to go

The game is best remembered for Franck Sauzee booting the dug out when he had to come off injured after 80 minutes and probably the first and best ever rendition of Sunshine on Leith ever heard at Easter Road

27/9/1972 European Cup Winners Cup Round One Leg 1

Hibernian 6 v 1 Sporting Lisbon ( Agg 7-3 )

O’Rourke 3
Gordon 2
Manaca og

All Scotland must salute Super HIBS. The Easter Road side in a night of magic gave full warning to the rest of Europe that they have well and truly arrived with a fantastic six hit performance over Sporting

The 26000 fans who roared themselves hoarse will never forget a second half that will go down in the history books. For HIBS took this Cup Winners Cup tie and their talented Portuguese opponents by the throat and converted a first leg 1-2 defeat into a magnificent triumph

Their courage was immense and in a tense first half they got the goal they so desperately needed another superb Alan Gordon header. Fate dealt HIBS a cruel blow right on the whistle for half time when a deflection off Referee Meannig sent Marinho racing away and his centre was easily converted by Portuguese superstar Yazalde to snatch a shock equaliser and valuable away goal

Shooting downhill second half HIBS seemed to have a mountain to climb but encouraged by one of Eddie Turnbull’s famous half time pep talks and roared on by their fans they stormed back with scintillating soccer

In just eight minutes of soccer magic Sporting’s European Cup Winners Cup dream lay in tatters

Three minutes after the restart Jimmy O’Rourke raced on to a Gordon head flick to blast the ball past Damas. As the Easter Road crowd roared HIBS on Gordon struck again. An Arthur Duncan cross found him soaring above the Portuguese defence and Damas was beaten to the world. Another four minutes and HIBS were undoubtedly back in the European big time. John Brownlie who minutes earlier had hit a 35 yarder against a post flicked a through ball for O’Rourke to step in and score from close range.

Ten minutes from time Arthur Duncan was brought down inside the box by a frustrated Gomes and Jimmy O’Rourke stepped up to complete his hat-trick from the spot

To complete a night of misery with only seconds to go Portuguese superstar Manaca turned a Duncan shot past his own keeper for an own goal

To say HIBS were magnificent would be an understatement this result was a declaration of intent by Hibernian Football Club and sent shock waves throughout Europe

Hibernian 3 v 2 St Johnstone

Sproule
O’Connor 2 (1 pen)

A fine game in which HIBS secured their first home win since February.

A late Cillian Sheridan strike for the Saints gave a false impression to the score line and detracted from Hibs’ overall superiority in this game

Hibs took the lead on 17 minutes when Ivan Sproule shot home following good work by Junior Agogo. St Johnstone equalised through future HIBS Captain Liam Craig whose shot on goal entered the net via the inside of the post. HIBS regained the lead on 37 minutes when Garry O’Connor found himself surrounded in the box but the ball fell invitingly for him and he fired the ball low and powerfully into the net from 16 yards

Into the second half and 15 minutes in O’Connor was bundled over in the box by David McCracken and O’Connor stepped up and converted the penalty kick

Sheridan scored a fine individual effort for Saints with two minutes remaining

What I remember about it is just what you say. Chased him for ages and he scored goals for fun for St Johnstone before us. He didn't look good for us although I think he may have scored in his handful of games. We met him go and he went in to score for fun again for I think Stirling and maybe someone else.

A devisive character amongst HIBS fans he brought many good players to Easter Road won a League Cup during a difficult time in our history but was criticised for his defensive tactics and managerial style

In 19 minutes Joe Harper equalised with a superbly taken goal. In 20 minutes Iain Munro put HIBS ahead with another first class effort and in 22 minutes Rosenborg knew it was all over when Harper headed a third

From then on it was a procession but the goals were well planned and clinically executed that is if you excuse HIBS’ fourth a lob by Munro that spun out of goalkeeper Thunshell’s hands. Pat Stanton added a fifth to make the half-time score 5-1.

The fans chanted for 7 and they got it too when Alex Cropley scored twice from the penalty spot

The Yugoslavs proved to be a better and more determined team than the side HIBS had beaten 3-0 so comprehensively in Belgrade and they shocked the Easter Road side when Popivoda scored after only 4 minutes.

For a while Olimpija were the much better team but HIBS began to claw their way back into the game

As the Yugoslavs grew more and more frustrated they began to hack and kick at our most skilful players Marinello, Cormack and Stevenson and this was ultimately to cost them the game

Midway through the second half HIBS were awarded a penalty for hand ball in the box a decision that was hotly disputed by the Yugoslavs and the game was held up for several minutes

Once order was restored Joe Davis coolly dispatched the spot kick into the net

This proved to be the catalyst for the Yugoslavs to once again surround the Referee and push and shove him.

Minutes later Jovanovic was sent off for the latest of several savage fouls on Peter Marinello

The culptrit was hardly off the pitch when Eric Stevenson was pulled down inside the box by Kokot leaving the Referee no option but to award a second penalty of the evening

This time there were no protests and Davis duly stepped up and dispatched the penalty past the Yugoslav keeper

Defending a 3-0 lead from the first leg things looked rosy for HIBS when Joe Davis converted a penalty in only two minutes after Colin Stein had been fouled inside the box. Cue pushing and shoving of the Referee by the Portuguese players immediately after the award

With 10 minutes remaining of the first half Peter Cormack was sent off following a melee with his immediate marker who had punched Cormack in the face after not being happy with one of his tackles. Once again the Referee was surrounded by unhappy Porto players and both players eventually saw red

Into the second half and Porto scored two goals on the hour in quick succession to change the whole complexion of the game. The Portuguese were pressing forward in numbers and scored a third through Valdir with twenty minutes remaining but a much relieved HIBS side managed to hold on

Into injury time and as is so often the case Tommy Gemmell overlapped down the right wing skipped past a few desperate challenges sent over a cross cum shot that cannoned off Willie Wilson and fell nicely at the feet of Bobby Lennox who fired home the equaliser to take the game into extra time

In the LC semi we were 2-1 up with seconds to go. Jim Scott had the ball on the touchline about half way & was holding it up. The Celtc players couldn't get it off him so Tommy Gemmell lost the rag & booted Jim on to the track. While Hibs waited for the free kick a Celtc player grabbed the ball & threw it down the line to Gemmell on the left wing not the right, & Lennox scored. Probably the worst decision I have ever seen. We lost the replay 4-0, big John was sent off & booted Jock Stein on his way up the tunnel!

Joe Davis equalised from the spot after Billy McNeill had pulled Eric Stevenson down in the box. McBride completed his hat-trick just before half-time time to make the half-time score 2-4

McBride then scored his own fourth and Celtic’s fifth just after half-time with Alan McGraw scoring a late consolation for HIBS in the final minute

8500 HIBS supporters made their way along the M8 to see if their team could hold onto the 2-0 lead HIBS had established in the first leg at Easter Road

Thanks to delays on the motorway many fans would miss the opening goal scored by Davy Cooper after half an hour an excellently executed free kick from the edge of the box that flew into Alan Rough’s top right postage stamp corner.

Hibernian stalwart Gordon Rae was booked in the build up to the free kick when he pulled down Ally McCoist outside the box a booking that meant he would miss the final against Sir Alex Ferguson’s all conquering Aberdeen

Hibs managed to hold on due to some excellent defending and goalkeeping and were always dangerous on the counterattack and could easily have scored an away goal as the Rangers defence could not handle the strength and pace of a young Gordon Durie all that was required at times was a wee bit composure in front of goal

A rip roaring old fashioned Cup tie at a packed Tynecastle

George McLean gave Dundee the lead after only six minutes to silence the large HIBS support. Colin Stein equalised almost immediately with what was to be his last goal for the club

The game went from end to end with if truth be told Dundee looking the more likely

Into the second half and Bob Shankly decided to beef up our attack by taking off midfielder Pat Quinn and replacing him with pocket battleship Jimmy O’Rourke. Disaster struck however minutes later when Alan McGraw had to be stretchered off with a serious leg injury leaving HIBS down to ten men with 15 minutes remaining

With five minutes to go and extra time looming Alan McGraw reappeared to huge cheers from the HIBS fans with a huge strapping on his injured left knee. Barely able to run McGraw had been introduced as nuisance value hoping to tie up a defender

With seconds to go HIBS won a corner out on our left Jimmy O’Rourke swung in an inswinging cross that was somehow twice cleared off the line by desperate Dundee defenders but McGraw who looked incapable of movement managed to lunge forward and force the ball over the line past the stranded Dundee goalkeeper Ally Donaldson with his injured knee

With virtually no time left for Dundee to respond pandemonium broke out both on and off the park as HIBS realised they were actually going to a cup final for the first time in 18 years

Took it from Stevie’s book

I also always thought that he swung in the corner for McGraw’s goal as I was standing right at the corner flag but he says it was O’Rourke unless it was a shorty or the ball was cleared back to Wee Jimmy :confused:

Edit: He must have meant Motherwell 3 v 0 Hibernian 1950/51 League Cup Final

I was standing not far from the post and I remember vividly McGraw colliding with the post as he scored.He was very brave particularly bearing in mind how bad an injury he was carrying.

Eric Stevenson grabbed the number 9 jersey and kicked off as centre forward.

Rangers debutante fullback Brian Herron couldn’t handle the pace and ball wizardry of Peter Marinello as he ran through the middle of the Rangers defence in the centre forward position - ripping them a new one and scoring two first half goals. Willie Johnston replying for Rangers.

Three minutes later HIBS took the lead when Graeme Donald got on the end of a brilliant team passing move and found himself with a tap-in in front of goal past Andy Goram

A Skol Cup Final dress rehearsal and a match played in brilliant sunshine in front of a deserted East as it was getting a new roof fitted.

Hibs were hoping to transfer their brilliant League Cup form to the League and they got off to the perfect start when Stevie Cowan scored against his old club heading in a Brazil free-kick off the underside of Jim Leighton’s crossbar.

Aberdeen were struggling to cope with the pace and power of Gordon Durie’s runs as he continually stretched their defence but slowly but surely Aberdeen were starting to gain the upper hand in the match

Late into the second half and running out of ideas, Alan Rough twice denying Billy Stark with brilliant saves, Alex Ferguson introduced BP Youth Cup winning youngsters Paul Wright and Steven Gray into the fray and it was the latter now sadly deceased who snatched the equaliser for the Dons latching onto a brilliant Neale Cooper through ball to score past Rough from the edge of the box with a low right footed drive

On 45 minutes Eddie Turnbull swung over a free-kick, Gordon Smith rose like a salmon to bullet home a header but the Referee insisted he had already blown for half-time as soon as Turnbull took the free-kick

Into the second half and eventually HIBS’ pressure paid off much to the relief of 30000 fans when Ormond’s glancing header went beyond Cowan’s outstretched hand and into the net via the post

18/10/1989 UEFA Cup Round 2 Leg 1

Hibernian 0 v 0 Liege

The kick off was delayed for fully 15 minutes to allow the near full capacity crowd into the Stadium for Hibs’ 69th game in Europe

When the game did eventually kick off the HIBS fans also discovered that Liege had brought l’autobus with them playing a sweeper and two markers and everyone and his cat in midfield

Hibs played some neat football but were perhaps guilty of taking the extra touch at times and were also guilty of not using the wings to bypass the congested midfield The Belgians resorted to fouling - largely going unpunished and time wasting tactics early in the match

Hibs’ best player in the first half was Michael Weir who tried to lead by example taking the fight to Liege and was unlucky when he got too much elevation on an Evans cutback

Hibs had a goalden chance to take the lead 11 minutes before the interval when they were awarded a penalty when Keith Houchen latched onto a long through ball from Paul Kane in the box his attempt on goal went past the post but his feet were clearly taken from under him by Wegria in mid shot - an obvious penalty

There was a delay of two minutes whilst Alan Sneddon received treatment for an injury and I noticed that Captain Andy Goram ran the length of the pitch to make sure Houchen took the kick

When eventually he did take the kick the shot wasn’t firmly enough placed and Munaron was able to make an easy diving save

HIBS continued to make all the running in the second half with John Collins blasting over from a good position The Belgians were happy to soak up all the pressure with the ever dangerous De Sart making good contact with a 25 yarder and Danny Boffin sweeping a deflected shot wide of the target in a seperate move

HIBS introduced talisman Stevie Archibald on 65 minutes and should have taken the lead 5 minutes later when Neil Cooper got on the end of a Gareth Evans corner only to see his excellent header beat Munaron all ends up but could only watch as Danny Boffin headed his effort off the line

[A Hi-Bee]

Cormack was sold to Nottingham Forest iirc

One of my early Hero's superb player and he was the player that Liverpool created the mid-field number 5 position, later taken up by Ray Kennedy, leading to a period of dominance in English football by the team in red.

[A Hi-Bee]

One of several Scandinavian players imported in the 1960s ( danish)

Rangers had a swede called Orjan Persson IIRC

HIBS had a Centre Half John Madsen ( danish)

I do believe if memory serves me that Greenock Morton were the first club to bring over the Scandinavians to Scotland, and some very good players came over to play. John Madsen was a great centre half for Hibs, well remember on frosty freezing hard pitch he would play in base-ball boots.

[ancient hibee]

Morton were early in having Scandinavian players but I think Dundee United were first with top level players. I think they sold Persson to Rangers

[CropleyWasGod]

Morton were early in having Scandinavian players but I think Dundee United were first with top level players. I think they sold Persson to Rangers

You're right about Persson.

I think Rangers had Kai Johansen before him, though. He had been at Morton.

A cup final winner from him wasn't it ?

I thought United's best was Finn Dossing. I remember they took four off us at Easter Road and we were lucky it was only four.

[JGS56]

We had two Norwegians in the 78/79 season - Isak Refvik and Sven Mathieson. For some reason they only played about 10 games between them before they went back to Norway. Cannot remember why they stayed for such a short time, probably some contractual problem.

Home office wouldn't give them work permits. If I remember correctly the SFA didn't help Hibs with the permits application. Surprisingly (not) again if I remember the Hun managed to get one for someone soon after, maybe Robert Pritz?

[JGS56]

Thanks for that, they went back to their respective clubs. Which was a pity as they were a couple of good players.

[brog]

You're right about Persson.

I think Rangers had Kai Johansen before him, though. He had been at Morton.

Morton must have had close to 20 Danish players in a few years in the 60's & as you say, others followed suit. In addition to Madsen & Johansen they had a couple of Sorensens, I think the keeper Erik ( who may have been the 1st import) also ended up in Govan, a couple of Nielsens ( Fleming?) & a Jensen or 2, possibly Bjorn. They also had Per Bartram who went to Palace but they may have been in 3rd Division South at that time. Hal Stewart was definitely the initiator of the Danish influx.

Roald Jensen was held in that high esteem in Norway that his countrymen built a statue in his honour

Hibs would reach the semi final of the Scottish Cup for the first time in their existence and would play the invincible Queens Park at the Holy Ground on the 19th January 1884.

There was a problem in that Queens Park were already committed to play Aston Villa in the FA Cup on the same date in Birmingham and the English team refused to move the date

Father Hannon would not hear of a walkover or have Queens Park quit one of the competitions or split their resources Instead he agreed to play the Scottish Cup game on a mutually acceptable date

The Scottish Cup Semi Final took place at Hibernian Park on 2nd February 1884

Referee RH Davidson ( Airdrie) had no qualms in cancelling the game immediately

10 minutes later the coast was clear

The replay ended in a 1-1 draw

My abiding memory is of an unknown Hibby giving the V sign to the TV Cameras

Think it was one of Blackley Harper or Bremner ?

Des Bremner gave HIBS the lead with a powerful header from a John Brownlie free kick after 26 minutes Joe Harper increased HIBS’ lead in the second half when he hit a shot off Peter Latchford’s legs and followed up to bury the rebound into the net

It was John Blackley with the V sign. Was at game and 10 mins after it was abandoned the fog lifted. I have been at Easter Road a game against Motherwell where the referee played more than 10 mins in fog which was much worse than the fog at Parkhead that day. My father who was a referee was disgusted at the way Davidson handled the situation and also the way the Scottish League handled it.

How did that work in a Celtc-Hibs scenario?

Seemed to be at the time that the ‘establishment ‘ had an Old Firm bias and they would use every trick in the book to make sure teams from the East would not win i.e. Mickey Edwards getting suspended for two months Celtic bringing fixtures forward to let key players serve suspensions, not ok for Refvik and Mathieson to play in Scotland but ok for Robert Prytz. There was no way Celtic were winning that match just Sloops way of saying FU to the SFA

Bobby Davidson sent John McNamee off in a Cup Semi Final at Hampden versus Celtic
Big John was adamant he never touched the guy
West coast bias

All of the above is of course imho

Yes it was a well known at the time he also did not like East of Scotland teams especially us. My father heard many stories about him amongst the referee fraternity.It was amazing in these days the number of refs were areas around Glasgow. Bothwell Rutherglen Bishopbriggs etc. Bob Valentine was listed as Dundee although he lived in Broughty Ferry.

Still exactly the same now pretty much all top refs from Glasgow and Lanarkshire. There was only one ref who reffed the Scottish cup final in 100 years who was from Edinburgh absolute scandal.

Did Joe not have the mutton chops (sideburns) and sure he wore white football boots(unusual in those days) Boots came in black or black and white and stylo had a boot which was almost the colour of the hearts top with laces on the side of the boot. Bobby Clark had broke a record of not conceding a goal 6 or 7 games. We put an end to that.

My other memory of that game is a well known supporter running on to the pitch before the start & kneeling & bowing in front of Joe!! To put Joe's popularity in perspective, over 23k turned up for his return, a few weeks earlier only 5k turned up for our home game against Dundee Utd. As you say, a bona fide superstar.

The game v Aberdeen is my first memory of going to Easter Road, aged around 7. I always remembered the white boots. We also stood in the old North Enclosure that day, a rare experience as my Dad and Grandad were East Terracing guys.

Looking at his stats, Joe scored 12 in 20 League games for Hibs that season. Then was emptied by Eddie Turnbull. I wonder why that was? He went on to score 34 in 42 games for Raith on his departure. That suggests he had a wee bit left in the tank still?

Joe and Eddie were not bosom buddies going back to when they played together and then when Eddie was trainer. Joe got kicked up and down Ibrox by McKinven (I think)and it did for his ankle.Gordon had already arrived and Turnbull decided to move Joe on. Probably a mistake.When Joe worked in hospitality at ER he was great company.He thought Hibs should pay his expenses to travel through. The club refused-astonishing.

Cheers Ancient. That makes sense. I’ve never read the Fabulous Baker Boys book, I’d imagine that will cover the issues you mention.

I wonder if Eddie actually got on with anyone? No doubting his record as a player and as a manager, but just about every interview, ex players suggest his man management skills were lacking at Hibs. He was obviously desperate to succeed at Hibs and maybe the burden of his own history at the club weighed too heavy on him?

When you hear guys he managed at Aberdeen mention him, like Harper and Buchan, it is always with great reverence.

You're spot on about the (one way) rivalry between Ned & Joe. We have to remember that when Joe was a toddler, Eddie was serving on the Arctic convoys & Eddie was twice Joe's age when Joe broke into the 1st team. There really was a generational gap, Eddie was symptomatic of the pre war look, flannels, collar & tie while Joe had the Elvis quiff!! I also felt that Eddie regarded friendliness as displaying weakness while Joe went out his way to be friendly & helpful. At the end of the day, both great servants to Hibs though Joe's departure could have been handled much better.

I think Eddie was pretty insistent on it being his way or else but as he would be carrying the can that’s understandable.Managing players who were developing during the more relaxed ‘60s would be difficult.He was a great player and coach and at his peak was terrific at the most important part of the job-putting the right team on the park.
Joe was so popular because as teenagers we had been used to watching players in their late twenties and early thirties-almost pensioners when you’re fifteen. Suddenly here was one of us terrifying defences all over Scotland.He was fast,brave and good looking-how could he fail.Great days.

Eric Stevenson said in his book that Eddie Turnbull was used to being top dog as a player and he wanted to be top dog as a Manager and that he resented Joe Baker and Pat Stanton being idolised by the fans

Strange behaviour really if true you would think he would be happy to take a back seat as he was Head Honcho anyway

It was definitely his way or the highway

You don’t hear any player bad mouthing his abilities as a Coach it is just his man management that is called into question perhaps that was the difference between him and Jock Stein?

Eddie chilled out when he got over his illnesses and had his knees fixed in later life. Used to see him regularly around Stockbridge and he was always affable and keen to chat about the Hibees. Still foul mouthed though, but humourous with it.

Into the second half and it was never in doubt Keatings’ deflected effort taking a deflection off a defender on the way in Grant Holt scoring from the spot when Andrew Shinnie was bundled over in the box and substitute Brian Graham with the perfect finish in the dying seconds shooting high into the net

Naw they just knew they were in for a doing :greengrin

They had a campaign going at the time to not go to Easter Road thus depriving us of all the maroon pounds.

Him and Stein could be described as polar opposites. Stein - maybe the best man manager ever, not too hot on tactics. Turnbull was at the cutting edge tactically through the 60's and 70's, but was horrible to his players. No coincidence that Stein appointed Eddie as his assistant when he got the Scotland job, he wanted his tactical nous.

Eddie chilled out when he got over his illnesses and had his knees fixed in later life. Used to see him regularly around Stockbridge and he was always affable and keen to chat about the Hibees. Still foul mouthed though, but humourous with it.

Spot on & Eddie loathed Stein. You're also correct about Eddie being more affable in later life. He was guest of honour at one of our London Hibs gatherings & we regularly met up with him at ER after that. A story I've told before sums Ned up. We took him to a Spurs game, & met Bill Nicholson, the legendary double winning manager, in the Legends lounge. Eddie was introduced to the members & Tommy Harmer, ex Spurs from 50's came over & said hello. He said, " I remember playing against you Jocks, you weren't a bad side". 'Not bad'? said Ned, we f****d you 5-2!! A Ned classic!

One of the great European nights at Easter Road- HIBS actually led 2-1 - and probably the first time my green tinted eyes actually noticed an opposition player JOSE ALTAFINI- what a player!

Claudio Gentile opened the scoring just before half time

Stanton a header from a Brownlie cross and Cropley - a tap in when a lob on goal was headed onto the underside of his own crossbar by a Juve defender- gave HIBS the lead then the Italians brought on the ageing grey haired 36 year old striker.

Lightning quick HIBS could not cope he scored one made one for Cuccureddu and added a second

Alan Gordon once told me that when the ball was up the other end of the park Gentile would pull the wee hairs out of the back of his legs and do other illegal things to wind him up

It was John Blackley with the V sign. Was at game and 10 mins after it was abandoned the fog lifted. I have been at Easter Road a game against Motherwell where the referee played more than 10 mins in fog which was much worse than the fog at Parkhead that day. My father who was a referee was disgusted at the way Davidson handled the situation and also the way the Scottish League handled it.I worked with Stuart Rennie the Well keeper. He remembers the game because noone told him the game was abandoned. He was on his own on the pitch thinking we must be doing some attacking at that end. . They didn't even miss him in the dressing room.

His 13th minute corner was met by Garry O’Connor and after the striker’s initial shot was blocked Colin Murdock was on hand to stab the ball into the net to score his first goal for the club

HIBS doubled their lead three minutes later when Derek Riordan picked up a threaded pass from Stephen Glass inside the Killie box spun round the challenge of Freddie Dindeleux and poked the ball through the legs of Francois Dubourdeau from six yards out

Kilmarnock pushed forward to try and get back into the match with Fowler and Boyd going close but Daniel Andersson in the HIBS goal managed to repel everything Killie could throw at him

Substitute Colin Nish managed to pull one back for Kilmarnock on the 80th minute and as they piled forward searching for an equaliser Garry O’Connor slipped the ball under Dubourdeau after a swift counterattack in the 90th minute

Magical HIBS booked their place in the quarterfinals of the European Cup Winners Cup in magnificent style

Once again Turnbull’s Tornadoes hammered out a warning to all of Europe with a fantastic seven goal rout of Albanian Cup holders FC Besa

Eddie Turnbull had forecast a green and white blitzkreig and once again he was bang on

HIBS teased and tormented and finally tore the heart out of a plucky but completely outclassed Besa side No praise can be too great for this HIBS side as they took all the strain out of a potentially tricky away leg with seven magnificent goals

It was almost an exact repeat of the humiliation of Sporting Lisbon with an extra goal thrown in for good measure

Right from the opening whistle HIBS attacked FC Besa The Albanian goal surviving many narrow escapes before HIBS finally broke their resistance in 11 minutes Alan Gordon crashed a left foot shot which beat Besa keeper Arkaxhiu but hit the crossbar Alex Cropley however was alert to any slip ups and was right on the spot to head home

The HIBS fans went wild and Besa crumpled 90 seconds later when Jimmy O’Rourke grabbed a second from close range when he gratefully accepted an Alan Gordon headed knockdown to fire home

Into the second half and going down the slope HIBS hit them with five goals in 12 wonderful minutes

The Albanians had no answer to the pace power and precision passing of this wonderful HIBS side

The first came when Cropley raced on to a through ball from Stanton he beat two defenders before cutting the ball back for O’Rourke to slam home

Two minutes later Edwards sent Brownlie clear on the right The full back raced deep into the Besa penalty area and slammed HIBS four ahead

Four minutes later HIBS had their place in the quarterfinals assured when Arthur Duncan moved inside tricked his way past two defenders and hammered in a great left foot shot

In the 62nd minute O’Rourke bundled his way through the middle to grab his hat-trick and HIBS’ sixth goal

Three minutes later Duncan scored the best goal of the night when he accepted a Gordon pass and fired home a raging left foot shot from all of 25 yards

Besa who were sporting throughout got a late consolation when Kariqi scored on 67 minutes

New signing Jim McArthur watched this game from the Stand I am sure that he would have been impressed by the performance of his new teammates

After a dull nervous first half in which HIBS’ only chance was when Ray Sharp passed the ball back to goalkeeper Andy Rhodes leaving his goalkeeper one on one with HIBS striker Keith Wright - fortunately for Sharp Rhodes managed to fall on the ball at the feet of the striker-the first half ended all square

Knowing his side had to score first if only to calm the growing nerves amongst the Hibee legions on the terraces and in the pubs and clubs Manager Alex Miller simply calmly reminded his players that they were better than the Pars man for man and as a team and all that they had to do was just relax and take control of the game and their reward would come

HIBS kicked off for the second half shooting towards their own fans and were like a team revitalised HIBS immediately won a corner which ended with Gareth Evans shooting narrowly over the crossbar
In 48 minutes the breakthrough came Michael Weir played a neat one two with Wright and burst into the box only to be fouled by the hapless Sharp who grabbed at Weir’s waist but was unable to bring the HIBS man down That was enough to make Weir mis-kick and topple over and three quarters of the Stadium shouted ‘penalty ‘and Referee Brian McGinlay had no hesitation in pointing to the spot

Tommy McIntyre the coolest man in Hampden stepped up and sent Dunfermline’s ace penalty stopper Andy Rhodes the wrong way from the penalty spot

It was all one way traffic after that but the fans sensed that HIBS really needed to finish Dunfermline off Billy Davies having their first shot on target in the 75th minute

Five minutes from the end Weir and Evans dispossessed Cunnington before Weir played a lovely one touch through ball to Wright who went hurtling through on goal leaving Norrie McCathie and Davie Moyes in his wake before calmly placing the ball beyond the advancing Rhodes

The fans knew it was all over but Brian Hamilton still had time to rattle a post with a 25 yard thunderbolt and Pat McGinlay fired a Graham Mitchell cross just wide
