Was it not in the process of being seated in 72/73 season?

It was seated for my first game in December 72.

[bigwheel]

The covered terracing had not been converted to seating when that game was played.

Could be right ..My Memory of the game is certainly from behind the goals..recall it seated, but may not have been ...mainly as I don’t really have any memories of standing behind that goal - however , I do recall being excited about the new seated option ...so must have at some point ...

[weecounty hibby]

Like others I was absolutely hooked as a 4 year old when I saw Hibs running out on a dark day with the floodlights on. Those beautiful, classic strips, just looked so good and I couldn't get that out of my head and have been pretty obsessed by Hibs ever since. We should make it compulsory that any Hibby who has a kid should take them to a night game at ER. Get them brainwashed early is my view

Remember the second goal one of Shades’ trade mark long throws was cleared back to him and he lashed it back straight into the faraway postage stamp

One of Erich’s rare goals. A 25 yarder if I remember correctly. We won every round to the final 2-0 ( after 1-1 in the semi) and it was supposed to be an good omen as we had done the same on our way to lifting the trophy in 1902.
We know how that worked out!!

[ancient hibee]

I noticed Bobby Combe was playing left wing against Partick-probably Willie suffering one of his three leg breaks.Because Combe could play practically anywhere he invariably moved forward from left half.This was a bit of a double edged sword because many good reserve forwards never got a real chance to progress .Hibs title winning teams used very few players but it meant that when they started to fade out suitable replacements were thin on the ground.

Quite possibly but I don't really recall it. My memory is of Alan Gordon scoring early, first 10 mins and right in front of us, then Shades scoring in 2nd half. Possibly the confidence of youth but I don't really remember us being under pressure at any time.

1965: The 'Cowshed' is opened in the North Terrace

In 1965, Easter Road boasted a new covered enclosure in the North Terrace, the structure becoming affectionately known as the 'Cowshed'. The enclosure stood behind the goals at the end of the ground that now houses the Famous Five Stand.

Hamilton Academical arrived at Easter Road on Saturday 6th November 1965 as the first visiting team to play with the new addition at Easter Road. The formal opening of the enclosure was celebrated in style, Hibernian securing their biggest League victory to date by thumping Accies 11-1. It was a monumental day, with the goals spread between Eric Stevenson (3), Jimmy O'Rourke (2), Jim Scott (2), Peter Cormack, Davy Hogg, Joe Davis and an own goal. Stan Anderson netted the Accies consolation.


With the exception of the 'Cowshed', Easter Road Stadium went largely unchanged throughout the 1960s and 1970s, with further major development to the ground not coming until the 1980s.
I can recall that end being converted back to uncovered when the roof blew off in the early 1990s.

The Hibernians piled forward in numbers throwing caution to the wind with all the fighting spirit of the old Irish brigades as if defeat was out of the question

Rab Walls got his second and new boy JJ Smith got a double to tie the tie 4-4

With 15 minutes to go a beautiful head flick from JJ teed up Malloy to smash home the winner

The HIBS supporters were transformed from silent witnesses of doom into raving maniacs acclaiming their heroes with wild abandon Total strangers threw each other’s bunnets up in the air and clung around each other’s necks and wept for joy

That night in the taverns of Leith a new song was sung:

I still remember the battles in the cooshed, as a young teen being crushed down at the front and a big cop dragging me out to wander around the pitch, sure it was Ronnie Simpson trying to shepherd us off the park, he was told to f off on more than one occassion. it was a terrible tackle on a fantastic player with so much potential, Highes was always a big dirty sellick bassa. As ever they got away wi it. That crowd was in fact a little bit smaller than normal, they were usually over 40,000 and they did have a pretty good side, the bassa's.

Wondering who else they could be. Guessing Jimmy Bone and John Hansen were two of the players.

Turnbull should have signed Rough and kept the change for George Stewart instead of the Barrel. Might have won the league then.

Saints regained the lead shortly after when the ever dangerous Liam Craig dispossessed Stephens and scored with ease

Griffiths hit the bar with a header from an Eoin Doyle cross before Calum Booth showed him how it should be done when he curled a beauty past Enckelman to score what HIBS thought was a share of the points

21/1/1950 Scottish League Division One

Partick Thistle 2 v 2 Hibernian

Turnbull
Smith

Hibs were drawn against Partick Thistle at home in the Scottish Cup but first up they had to visit ‘Firhill for Thrills’ in the League

Eddie Turnbull continued his fine scoring form by opening the scoring just after the half hour

Thistle took the lead either side of half-time with goals from McCallum and Gibb but the best goal was yet to come

A corner kick from Ormond was delivered to the back post Gordon Smith controlled the ball with his first touch before sending it crashing into the net off the underside of the bar from an impossible angle

In the game that St J won 3 2 at ER as you say Lee Croft scored their 1st. It came from a Saints break when a midfield player ran into space & David Stephens backed off & off & off. Finally Paul Hanlon ran out past Stephens & threw himself in front of the shot. It was a magnificent block but unfortunately the ball broke to Lee Croft who scored. FFS Hanlon said the guy next to me. Plus ca change! 😁

[brog]

Wondering who else they could be. Guessing Jimmy Bone and John Hansen were two of the players.

Turnbull should have signed Rough and kept the change for George Stewart instead of the Barrel. Might have won the league then.
Joe Craig, or was he later?

He was later but I remember him causing us problems before being transferred briefly to Celtic

Alex Gogic rose at the back post to head home a Dales corner after 17 minutes to give Hamilton a half-time lead

Jack Ross rung the changes at half-time with the ineffective Slivka and Hallberg being replaced by Omeonga and Newall

The change seemed to work after 10 minutes when Kamberi played a ball inside the full back Martin Boyle scampered onto it chipped the ball over the goalkeeper and watched in agony as the ball rebounded off the post Luckily the ever vigilant Christian Doidge was there to knock the ball home getting there just ahead of Gogic

The match took place one week later and the visitors looking good took an early lead

‘Darling Willie Groves’ then took a hand in proceedings grabbing an excellent equaliser and giving HIBS a second half lead. James Montgomery making sure of a Hibernian win with a third

Hibernian Park erupted in celebrations the slum team from Edinburgh’s Irish neighbourhood were in the final of the Scottish Cup Or were they?

Vale of Leven lodged a protest stating that the man who had destroyed them Willie Groves was in receipt of illegal payments accusing him of professionalism a serious charge in those days

It was to roll on to be one of the most bitter and controversial cases ever heard by the SFA

The match result would be upheld and HIBS would win the Scottish Cup for the first time in this season

After that it was pretty much backs to the wall with Chris Hogg and Ian Murray orchestrating the HIBS defence and ex Celt Liam Miller pulling the strings in midfield

Just when it looked as though things were going to fizzle out for a draw Anthony Stokes shocked Tony Mowbray’s troops in the last minute when he sprung the offside trap on the counterattack threading the perfect ball through to substitute Danny Galbraith on the left hand side of the Celtic box who drilled an unstoppable drive low into Artur Boruc’s bottom left hand corner

Are they the same version of East Stirling that we played in 1968?

I remember some vague story about being moved to Clydebank and then having to create a new club under the old name.... or something like that :-)

The Clydebank"thing" happened before 1968. To be honest I had forgotten all about that. Seemingly although Clydebank "stole" their identity the original club was never disbanded. It appears to be like us when we stopped for a season and got playing again.

To be clear it is different to Sevco who were liquidated and died, dead, defunct.

Just. catching up with previous post as I’ve been preoccupied with current affairs.
The five Patrick Thistle players with 68 caps were:-
Alan Rough - 53
John Hansen-2
Alex Forsyth-10
Ronnie Glavin- 1
Jimmy Bone -2

The Bonnyrigg Rose player who scored in their 8-1 defeat on 21/12017 was called Hoskins.No knowledge of first name or whether he was a Jambo.

His name is Dean Hoskins and he is a Jambo

I mentioned previously how low the crowd was at the first game at ER and I'm sure there was about 2-3k more at this one.


Strangely, it was quite common then to play in front of poor crowds at ER but pretty decent attendances, with a big travelling Hibs support, when we played the same teams away from home.

Quite similar maybe with what we see with Kilmarnock in recent times. Poor home attendances but a very good away support. They must have a high percentage of their home support attending away games, where by contrast, despite our home attendances rising quite considerably over the years our travelling support hasn’t really changed in size over time. If anything it’s smaller than what it once was.

An easy victory for HIBS on a wind swept Easter Road

Matty Jack gave Dunfermline a lifeline after 30 minutes when he was uncharacteristically short with a pass-back and could only watch in horror as David Graham waltzed around Colgan to fire home the equaliser

Grant Brebner eased the hibee nerves just before half-time when he restored HIBS’ lead

Second half and HIBS gave a debut to young Ian Murray who scored with his first touch firing home from close range after a Kenny Miller effort had been blocked on the line

HIBS now stepped up the pressure as the wind increased and it was obvious that poor Dunfermline were being outclassed

I'd given up my season ticket a number of years earlier and hadn't been back due to real life priorities. Then Hibs announced a share issue but only to those fans on the database, and this was the game I picked to buy a ticket so that I was eligible. Despite the ending, I attended a few more games for a couple of seasons when time permitted, before finally cracking and getting another season ticket.

David McCallum gave Albion the lead HIBS piled on the pressure and Russell Latapy equalised Everyone expected HIBS to push on and win the match but it was ex hibee hero Chris Jackson who snatched the winner knocking HIBS out of the Scottish Cup

Hibs would win the Scottish League Division One in this season

Footnote: As pointed out by another poster both Albion goals came from players that Alex McLeish had previously released

Dearie me!

This was the game where Jim Leighton went off injured after a clash of heads with John Collins

Darren Jackson who had given HIBS an early lead temporarily went in goals Unfortunately he made a hash of a cross and Pierre Van Hooijdonk scored

Darren Jackson then thought Leighton was coming back on took off his goalie top and took up a forward position The Referee refused to allow Leighton to return to the field of play Hibs never had a goalie and Celtic scored

After consulting with his linesman the goal was ruled out and Leighton took up his position in goal

Paul McStay scored the winning goal on 67 minutes with a magnificent volley but it must be the first time HIBS have got any decision in Glasgow

Rangers started the better and after 27 minutes Daniel Andersson upended Ronald De Boer in the penalty box but he quickly redeemed himself with a fine one handed save from Arteta’s spot kick

Rangers were not to be denied however and Michael Mols swept Rangers into the lead just before half-time from 15 yards after a defence splitting pass from Ross

Into the second half and play raged from end to end Hibs brought on Stephen Dobbie with 13 minutes to go and he equalised within a minute latching on to a Derek Riordan pass and lashing the ball home from 12 yards

HIBS were galvanised as they went for the kill Fernando Ricksen was lucky to escape punishment when he elbowed Riordan in the face and Garry O’Connor had a decent claim for a penalty waved away

HIBS pushed forward in the first period of extra time but could not prise open the Rangers defence Into the second period and HIBS survived two mass scrambles in their own box with goal hero Dobbie booting a ball off the goalline

Onto penalties and both keepers had two fine saves apiece with Averladze blazing over the crossbar and Mattius Doumbe hitting the woodwork

With the scores at 3-3 Colin Murdock tucked away his kick and Frank De Boer hit the post cue celebrations among the 7000 rain soaked HIBS fans

Billy,I might be getting my dates mixed up but did Hibs play Brechin City on 5 February 2005 in the Scottish Cup beating them 4-0.It’s sticks in my memory because I was too late getting tickets for the Hibs end as they were sold out and had to go to the Brechin end.Good job Brechin didn’t score,because didn’t know what form the Brechin celebrations might have taken.

Sorted!

Hearts 2 v 2 Hibernian

Cummings 80
Hanlon 90+1

Hibs looking down and out against their Premiership rivals famously came back from the dead to live to fight another day

In the first half it was HIBS who had the better of the early play with McGinn testing Neil Alexander with a drive and Stokesy heading just over from a corner

Things changed on the half hour however when Dylan McGeouch had to leave the field of play due to injury giving yet another HIBS debut to Kevin Thomson

Minutes later and Hearts were two up Djoum fired in an excocet that flew past Mark Oxley at a rate of knots following a poor clearance then Sam Nicholson brought down a Callum Paterson cross in the box on his chest and repeated the dose

Into the second half and HIBS showing true character started to dominate with Bartley bossing the midfield pegging Hearts back and Gunnarsson on for SDG went close with a header and Stokesy smashed one into the side net

Just when it looked as though all HIBS’ pressure would come to nothing Liam Henderson dinked in a cross and Jason Cummings sent in a looping header off his new gelled barnet up and over Alexander and in at his back post

HIBS continued to press for the equaliser and into stoppage time Alexander thought he had done enough at a corner when he repelled Darren McGregor’s header but Paul Hanlon was alive to the rebound and slid the ball home through a forest of legs Cue joyful celebrations in the School End

Hearts were not done however and in true Gorgie tradition the stoppage time came from nowhere Gunnarsson managed to clear a defensive header off his own crossbar and midfield dynamo Kevin Thomson managed to boot a last minute net bound Blazej Augustyn effort off the line

HIBS would win the Scottish Cup in this season

Worth mentioning that this was a season of Cup shocks :

Armadale also saw off Clyde ( a decent side then) and Ayr United before losing out to eventual winners Kilmarnock who beat shock troops Albion Rovers ( who had knocked out the mighty Rangers in the semi final ) in the Scottish Cup Final at Hampden Park in front of 96000 fans

Yes exactly 5 years on, hard to believe. Since that great game, season tickets significantly up, 2 seasons of European football, new owner, higher up the league than our rivals 4 seasons in a row and HSL getting bigger every year. Such an important result that day.

Moon gave Raith an early lead Sam Stanton then equalised with an exquisite strike off Ross Laidlaw’s left hand post from 20 yards

Callachan then hit the post but in reality it was a brilliant save by Ben Williams before HIBS supporting Dougie Hill put Raith ahead once again with a deft flick

Just before half-time Michael Nelson pulled HIBS back level with a fine header from a Liam Craig corner

Into the second half and Grant Anderson scored the winning goal half way through the half with what looked like a backward head-flick that seemed to deceive Williams all ends up

That Raith cup game was horrendous to be at. Little did we know it was to get a whole lot worse that season.

[brog]

The 7-0 Livi game I was in a meeting near San Francisco. I'm sure everone wondered what I was up to fiddling below the table with my mobile, honest! First time I've seen the goals, thanks!! What a team of legends!

[Topographic Hibby]

Hibs would win their next League match against Ross County but would not win another game until their first leg Premier Play-Off game at Hamilton
I remember bemoaning the lack of that one victory that would have saved Hibs from the play-off for months. But that would have papered over the cracks and possibly kept Butcher in a job (although I'm sure Dempster would have made the same decision even if the Hamilton play-off never happened).

Hard point to make, but in hindsight it was possibly for the best. 😮

[Highwayman]

Thing I most recall of that disaster of a cup tie against Raith Rover was the look on Calum Booths face who was on loan at Raith Roves that day.It was a mixture of “TF I’m not playing for these no hopers” and “how bad am I that I can’t get a game here.
Always liked Booth,but he was another in the long list of young players at ER whose potential was never realised.Appears to now have a gig at St Johnstone as an unused sub.

Sauzee

Latapy



The New West Stand was still being built when this game took place.

David Zitelli repaid Manager Alex McLeish’s faith in him for restoring him to the starting line-up by firing in a double

Franck Sauzee gave HIBS the lead by firing home a trademark free-kick Ricky Gillies then gave second bottom Buddies the lead by firing in a double with a penalty and a deflected shot either side of half-time

Zitelli then struck with his double the first after Latapy played him in and he fired home off Roy’s left hand post the second when he dispossessed Paul Rudden when he dallied on the ball and fired the ball through the goalkeeper

Latapy settled the game on 80 minutes when he lost possession to Gillies but won it back and tenaciously carried on to fire home a brilliant powerful left footed drive

Smith

102342 fans fillied Ibrox to watch this intriguing battle of Rangers’ Iron Curtain Defence versus the imperious Famous Five

Simpson gave the Scottish Cup holders an early lead and Rangers retreated into their shell putting up their defensive wall

This enabled HIBS who had got off to a nervous start to find their rhythm and get their passing game together HIBS equalised just before half-time when Gordon Smith met an Ormond cross on the volley and the ball fairly flew into the Rangers net

Into the second half and HIBS obviously hadn’t learned their lesson from the first half when Simpson scored his and Rangers’ second

Fatally Rangers reverted to type and flooded their defence

HIBS were known for their flexibility and imagination and took the game by the scruff of the neck

Eddie Turnbull equalised with one of his cannonball specials and Rangers now found themselves in a quandary do they stick or twist? Problem was they were now pinned back into their own half unable to get out as the green and white jerseys swarmed around their box

With nine minutes to go HIBS sealed their win

Hibs had a freekick outside the Rangers box Rangers put up a nine man wall Eddie Turnbull lined up for a thunderbolt but he played the ball short to Willie Ormond who quickly passed it to Johnstone who fired home from a tight angle

Grant Murray brought his merry band to Easter Road a side that hadn’t scored a goal in 2014 full of ex Hibs players future HIBS players HIBS supporters and Ross Callachan

Moon gave Raith an early lead Sam Stanton then equalised with an exquisite strike off Ross Laidlaw’s left hand post from 20 yards

Callachan then hit the post but in reality it was a brilliant save by Ben Williams before HIBS supporting Dougie Hill put Raith ahead once again with a deft flick

Just before half-time Michael Nelson pulled HIBS back level with a fine header from a Liam Craig corner

Into the second half and Grant Anderson scored the winning goal half way through the half with what looked like a backward head-flick that seemed to deceive Williams all ends up

Hibs equalised when last season’s Celtic FC top scorer Pat McGinlay a £425000 signing in November fired home past Pat Bonnar.

A goal he celebrated by giving Celtic Manager Tommy Burns a long satisfied stare

Celtic were struggling with Kevin Harper’s pace the young striker taking up good position but squandering any chances that came his way

Celtic took the lead early into the second half when Willie Falconer expertly headed home a John Collins cross giving Jim Leighton no chance

Hibs replaced Joe Tortolano with Mark McGraw with ten minutes to go and this change brought immediate rewards when the young striker fired home from the edge of the box past the unsighted Bonnar following a HIBS corner

Hibernian 2 v 1 Dumbarton

Montgomery
Groves

Green shirted Hibernian were first onto the park led by their captain James McGhee and they received a rapturous welcome while Dumbarton in their blue and white striped jerseys were politely welcomed by their supporters who only numbered a few thousand

Hibernian won the toss booked the wind and Dumbarton kicked off on a slippery surface which was very hard underneath Play swung from end to end with defences on top When the forwards did get a chance their shooting was wild and the goalkeepers had very few saves to make Near the end of the first half play became rough and the Referee was kept busy

Play continued in a similar fashion in the second half up until the 60th minute when Aitken put Dumbarton ahead with an unsaveable shot after which they used spoiling tactics to try and hold on to their lead This was a mistake as the Irish crowd roared Hibernian on to one of their famous fight-backs

The forwards responded with some brilliant play and a strong run and angled shot from Phil Clarke which Dumbarton’s international goalkeeper could not hold allowed James Montgomery to follow through and fire home the equaliser

The green Jerseys now went all out for the winner and dominated the game with their strength and skill Following a Dumbarton corner the defence cleverly played the ball to Paddy Lafferty who fed Willie Groves and went on a decoy run down the right wing ‘Darling’ Willie Groves then went on one of his famous mazy dribbling runs that took him right into the heart of the Dumbarton defence and he coolly hit the ball home while Dumbarton vainly tried to claim offside

The celebrating on the terraces was wild For the last ten minutes of the game the noise was indescribable and when the final whistle went the Hibernian players were carried off the field of play shoulder high

There was an air of disbelief about what had just happened Hibernian had done the impossible and had won the greatest prize in Scottish football The poor team from Edinburgh’s Irish neighbourhood had actually won the Scottish Cup

Nish 10
Fletcher 3 (1 pen) 19 58 90

Gretna staged a late fightback with goals from Gavin Skelton 81 and Dr Kenny Deuchar 88 but it all fizzled out when goalkeeper Greg Fleming upended Colin Nish in the penalty box in the 90th minute and was sent off. Steven Fletcher settled the issue once and for all from the penalty spot completing his hat-trick and giving HIBS a valuable win

Rangers 2 v 2 Hibernian

Turnbull pen
Reilly

In the fifth minute Scotland Captain George Young handled in the box and a penalty was awarded Rangers goalkeeper Bobby Brown trying some 1950’s gamesmanship asked Eddie Turnbull ‘ if he could have a feel of the ba?’

The request was met with a curt response telling him he would get a touch of it in two seconds when he picked it out the back of the net a promise Turnbull kept sending Brown the wrong way

Rangers equalised when Tommy Younger punched the ball into his own net following a cross from McCulloch under pressure from Willie Woodburn

Going into the second half and Younger redeemed himself with two brilliant saves Lawrie Reilly then gave HIBS the lead when following a lightning counterattack he cutely lobbed Brown

George Young equalised for Rangers from the penalty spot late into the game when Howie handled in the box

I was in the The Rangers end for the game that Lewis scored that belter. Courtesy of complementary tickets. We were right behind the director's box. Fortunately their fans were revolting at the time and left after 20 minutes or so in protest at the board.

Couldn't help but jump up when the second goal went in. Lucky man.

[Keith_M]

A per usual, I was on the Artisan bus to the game at Tannadice and when we got back, everybody was desperate to find out if any of their mates were on the bus that crashed and if they were OK.

I was just a kid and didn't know anybody else that had travelled up but there were quite a few adults from our bus in a bit of a panic.

[CropleyWasGod]

The game at Tannadice obviously sticks in the minds of a lot of us.

I was in the Arabs' end, with a couple of mates... could've sworn that Sturrock scored for them. TBF, I was buried in an orange mist for a wee while.

In the 4-2 defeat of Gretna,Hibs had a player called Aberaouf Zarabi.I was at that game and have absolutely no recollection of a player of that name.Any background info.

Thanks Billy.Still can’t remember him.I know your standards are high,but Gretnas goalkeeper that day was Greg Fleming (not Fletcher as stated).Think he still plays at Stranaer.

I was at the ‘71 cup game at Tynecastle but can’t remember a “Duncan” at left back? Pretty sure it wasn’t Bobby Duncan who was a right back in any case. Can anyone help?

If you click on the link you can see that John Brownlie is #2 and Bobby Duncan is #3

I agree that Bobby Duncan was a right back but he appears to take up the left back position at the Hearts free kick and makes himself available for Stanton’s pass before feeding Arthur from the left back side of the pitch

The Manager was Dave Ewing who was a Coach at Man City and had some unorthodox ideas :wink:

Bobby Duncan came in for Mervyn Jones who seemed to drop out of the picture for a few weeks before being reintroduced

That’s puts it right in my mind thank you. Didn’t remember Bobby still being around at that time after that awful leg break. Memory not what it was it seems

[gbhibby]

Went to first game of the semi in 72 on the football special train did not get into the ground until the 60th minute of the game. Some folk in these days would trash the trains so we did not move anywhere for more than an hour whilst the police boarded the train to make arrests. Happened quite often back then

Wembley 83 took the biscuit. 24 hour round trip with a 4 hour stop for the game. I never knew trains stopped for lights so often. Got to my bed before anybody else by exiting at the old Piershill station.

Giving away a penalty at Ibrox in the last few minutes especially when the Referee has already awarded a penalty to the opposition looks mighty suspicious no ? :wink:

His birthday today met an untimely end IIRC
