The good news : I watched this game from Hospitality ( you needed a drink to watch this team)

The bad news : It would be our last win in quite some time

Sam Stanton opened the scoring with a glorious 25 yard free- kick Ross County then hit the crossbar before Tom Taiwo slotted home a Danny Haynes cutback

Richard Brittain pulled one back for the Staggies with an excellent free-kick in the second half

In an increasingly bad tempered game Robbie Neilson was fortunate not to be sent off for a bad challenge on Roland Edge

15/2/ 1985 (tel:15/2/ 1985) Friendly Challenge Match

Hibernian 2 v 0 Moscow Dynamo

Durie 2


Hibs were out the cup and Moscow Dynamo were on a winter break so why not ?

Dynamo were a decent side and got to the semi-final of the ECWC in this season

What I remember of the game is that the Dynamo defenders could not handle the power and pace of the force that was Gordon Juke Box Durie who fired in two first-half goals on a cold Friday night




15/2/1896 Scottish Cup Round 3

Rangers 2 v 3 Hibernian

Smith
Breslin
Groves

This game was a real old-fashioned Cup tie with a lot of good football particularly from Hibernian with Rangers indulging in brutal play

Hibs took the lead to the great joy of their large travelling support when Willie Smith scored Rangers were rattled and they became even wilder when a Barney Breslin free-kick found it’s way into the Ibrox net to renewed manifestations of delight from the HIBS support

Rangers were stung into action and their brutal play was being ignored by the Referee Rangers pulled a goal back and the Referee gave them their obligatory penalty but the spot kick was blasted over the bar

The Referee continued to protect Rangers into the second half and they got their equaliser Hibernian’s play however had been superior and they were determined not to let this match slip from their grasp

It is now that ‘Darling’ Willie Groves grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck going on one of his old mazy runs the Rangers defence hacked and kicked at him and ‘almost killed him’ but with his last ounce of strength he put Hibernian back into the lead with a glorious goal that he managed to steer over the goal-line

The action was not over however and you guessed it the weak Referee - Mr McArthur of Stirling- awarded Rangers another soft penalty but this time HIBS’ goalkeeper Pat McCall pulled off a brilliant save to finally knock the stuffing out of Rangers

After the match the Rangers goalkeeper Bell got changed walked down the Copeland Road and was never seen or heard of again

We took a huge support. Remember we had won the LC less than 4 months earlier & we were developing a reputation as cup specialists. Unfortunately we lost to Airdrie at home in the 1/4 final. IIRC Tommy McIntyre missed a pen at 0 0. That was my 12th year in London & incredibly, first time I saw us lose in that period, i reckon close to 100 games.

I remember being at Kilbowie for a cup replay on a Wednesday evening back in 1965 ? Hibs won 2 - 0.

What I remember was the weird 6 floodlight pylons, the terracing behind the goals was heap of dirt ,no steps or anything . There was a huge Hibs crowd through with buses lining the streets around the ground.

There were here a lot of bombed out buildings that had not been rebuilt yet after the Clydebank blitz.
Mind you it was only 20 years after the war finished, makes you feel ancient :greengrin

Remember it well. They were named ES Clydebank then as they had taken over East Stirling's place. Think crowd was about 15k & it may still be the ground record.

The crowd was indeed a record for the ground.
10th Feb. 1965
14.900

Its always easy to assume that the Glasgow two would be involved in other clubs highest attendances.

Almondvale saw its highest attendance when we played Livingston a few days after the AEK Athens game.

Not sure if it has been bettered or equalled since.

Mick IIRC our attendance at Livi for the game you mention above was either 10,008 or 10,016. I remember thinking that as the official capacity was 10,000 we would never lose that record. A few weeks later Rangers were there & crowd was shown as 10,024!!

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.Missed this mentioned the other day.

I was on the Livi bus that day. Scary and surreal. RIP Mark McGhee. He was only 14 but still remembered by all who were there that day. Hard to believe its 39 years ago.

I remember it as Benny attempting a pass back to the keeper to keep possession, that went out, rather than him putting it out.
He got yet more stick for years and years. If he hadn't attempted the pass back, he could have booted it, out lost possession anyway, and still get slaughtered by the hoardes. It was part of being Benny I suppose, I loved him.

Raith Rovers 1 v 1 Hibernian

Cummings 60

New Raith Rovers Manager John Hughes got a standing ovation as he took his seat in the Starks Park dug out

Ex Hearts midfielder Ryan Stevenson gave Raith the lead after 54 minutes when he rifled in a half volley from 22 yards into the top corner of the net. Jason Cummings equalised six minutes later with a wonderful free-kick from just outside the box

HIBS extended their lead at the top of the table to seven points with an admittedly insipid performance that brought this response from Manager Neil Lennon:

”We were an absolute disgrace- a disgrace We had the right colour of jersey on ( yellow) today You can’t turn up and play for 30 minutes We were abject We are going for a title here and trying to extend our lead but we totally disrespected the opponent I am not happy with that at all and that is creeping in far too often “

Berwick had fought bravely but in truth were never in the match and kicked everything that moved HIBS were the better side and had the bulk of the play but Berwick thought they had scored when Thomson Allan clawed away a ball that appeared to have crossed the line half way through the first half

Jim Scott scored with a speculative shot from 20 yards that Wallace appeared to have covered but miscalculated the flight of the ball went down like a carthorse and the ball flew into the empty net

Eric Stevenson relates in his biography that Jock Wallace had told his marker Gordon Haig “ If Stevie goes for a piss at half-time you go with him”

Berwick Rangers left the field of play to a standing ovation in recognition of a gallant cup run in which they had showed determination and true grit but had also played some good football and did not look out of place against higher League opposition

I’m afraid there was no sporting ovation from my part of the ground at the Berwick game! Not only was every tackle a foul but there was a huge amount of off the ball stuff to try and intimidate us which was quite unusual in domestic football then. My memory(probably faulty)is that they had one attempt at goal which was deflected and Thomson Allan had a good save followed by an attempt to kick him as he pulled the ball from the line .

Me tae
Memory like a sieve.
i know i was at many away games in my youth, but remember so few details unless something unusual happened, and that would likely be in the pub before ,or
on the terracing, rather than the pitch :confused::drunk::drunk:


Best memories before drink set in
2nd january games at Starks Park
and that game v Dunfermline at East End Park we won 6.5

Home game memories usually involved drink, during floodlight games, versus European teams .

Good memories of Hibernian showing the Continentals and the English that we could play a bit



Against the continentals we have always stood the test .........

Hibernian 4 v 0 Dundee

O’Connor 2

Hibs consolidated their position in third place with this fine win over Dundee. Jim Duffy’s side had Tam McManus making his return to Easter Road

Hibs struggled to find their rhythm and twice Dundee forward Steve Lovell came close to scoring. Hibs made the breakthrough however just before half-time when a high ball over the top found Derek Riordan bearing down on goal and although Derek Soutar did well to parry his initial shot Garry O’Connor came rushing in from the angle of the six yard box to fire home

HIBS increased their lead two minutes into the second half. Steven Whittaker ran in from deep his first touch was exquisite as he knocked the ball past his opponent before lashing the ball high into the net with a right footed shot

Dundee had decent chances to get back into the game but these chances were squandered by McManus and Lovell. They would live to regret those chances as a double in two minutes from Steven Fletcher and Garry O’Connor effectively ended the game as a contest

I had a conversation with him about that. I think one of the things was Eddie felt he set out to injure him. It wasn't a an unlucky tackle. You are right, he never forgave him and wouldn't even talk about Ferguson and his accomplishments as a manager.

You're spot on there Michael. Ned loathed Stein. The Fergie incident was made worse by the ref (who i cant remember) indicating that Crops was play acting & he didn't stop the game. Crops dragged himself off while the game carried on. On a happier note yet another Roy of the Rovers moment from Joe B. Back from injury, on as sub & he scored the winner with an outrageous diving header.

Ned told the story that after defeating Celtic at Pittodrie he could hear Jock Stein’s limping footsteps trying to catch up with him in the tunnel. He slowed down to let him catch up.

“ Aye ye beat us but you’ll no try as hard against that other mob.”

Turnbull replied that he was wrong and that he was happy to beat them both any day of the week

Hibs’ new signing from Strasbourg Franck Sauzee made his debut for HIBS on a cold sleet filled day on a pitch that resembled a tattle field that had been flattened by a steamroller

Right away the hibee hordes or those that had bothered to travel through in the 6000 crowd could see that this guy was class head and shoulders above everything else on the pitch

No matter the situation he was calmness personified able to weigh things up immediately taking instant command showing poise and vision strolling through the game in a way probably not seen in a HIBS strip since the days of Pat Stanton

Paul Hartley put HIBS ahead just before half time Marino Keith equalised on 52 minutes for the Bairns A minute later goalscorer Paul Hartley got a rush of blood to the head and saw red

Hibs were now up against it but Franck Sauzee now played our ‘ get out of jail card’ flicking the ball sideways to the unlikely attacking figure of Derek Collins whose shot from outside the box was deflected high and looped over the goalkeeper’s head before resting in the Falkirk pokey

Hibernian 3 v 2 Barcelona ( Agg 7-6)

Baker 10
Preston 72
Kinloch pen 85


The mighty Barcelona came to Easter Road for the second leg of the Inter Cities Fairs Cup Quarter Final

The first leg in the Nou Camp had finished 4-4

Easter Road was packed with 45000 fans for what was a memorable match Hibs winning 3-2 on the night

Joe Baker put HIBS ahead after ten minutes when he headed home a Johnny MacLeod free-kick

After HIBS’ bright start Barcelona came more and more into the game and it was no surprise when Martinez equalised after 27 minutes beating Simpson to an Evaristo cross and firing the ball under him
The Spaniards were now going in top gear and took the lead two minutes from the break Kocsis received the ball in the HIBS box with his back to goal he half turned and sent a low shot past two sprawling defenders into the net

Second half and HIBS now shooting down their favoured slope really went at Barcelona

Immediately Joe Baker was pulled down inside the box looking for all the world a penalty but the German Referee only gave an indirect free-kick inside the box

Barcelona then missed a goalden chance to increase their lead when they broke away Suarez’s shot cannoned off Simpson’s chest fell to Martinez who inexplicably fired past the open goal sending the ball into orbit

Once again Baker head down raced into the Barca box only to be bounced off the ball and sent sprawling over the goal-line to be met by the same result indirect free kick to HIBS inside the box Ormond took the kick but it was scrambled clear

The equaliser came when a corner from Ormond was swung well away from the goalkeeper Sammy Baird headed it on into the box the heads went up and the ball ended up in the Barca net

The last man to pick himself up from the fallen melee of players in the box was Tommy Preston

Five minutes to go and all hell let loose Johnny MacLeod was pulled down inside the box and the Referee that had denied HIBS two stonewall penalties immediately pointed to the spot

The Referee was surrounded by irate Barcelona players who pushed and shoved him

The Referee retreated to the half way line The police went on the pitch to protect him and all the while he kept pointing to the penalty spot

This went on for some five minutes the coolest man in the Stadium was Bobby Kinloch who all this while sat on the ball in the penalty box patiently waiting on things to calm down

Once order had been restored he simply cracked the ball into the net

This triggered wild celebrations around the Stadium and the Referee was once again surrounded by Barcelona players

The Referee blew the final whistle five minutes later when he was conveniently positioned near the tunnel before being pursued by angry Barca players who more than left their mark for many years to come on the Changing Room door

George Stewart and either Bobby Clark or Alan Rough, we would have won that league.

I'm not convinced by that. Our best chance probably came in 72/73 when we topped the league by leading 5-0 at half time at Tynie. The Brownlie leg break & the ridiculous Edwards suspension are well documented but we bottled it that season. IIRC we only gained about 2 points & scored 2 goals in our last 7 games. Edwards had returned by then & Des Bremner was a fine replacement for Brownlie. It wasn't our defence that let us down at the end of that season, it was our much vaunted attack.
Having said that I would have loved George Stewart to be at ER several seasons earlier.

I was going to post something similar.

Certainly things went pear shaped after the East Fife game and i do agree there was a bit of a goal drought after that.

Did both Pat and Jimmy not sit out a few games due to injury ,or in Jimmys case, just being left out, as Ned did sometimes, to the bafflement of many fans.
Score 2 or 3 one game and dropped the next game !!
He had scored 28 i think between August and the 0-7 game.

But that season was the one that got away !

[Glory Lurker]

It should have been 4-1. Sure there was nothing wrong with McGregor's goal.

[Ray_]

George Stewart and either Bobby Clark or Alan Rough, we would have won that league.

Hibs fell apart in the second half of 72/3 when John Brownlie suffered his double leg break & Pat Stanton & Mickey were suspended. Hibs backup was untried young players where, as today, both Celtic & Rangers had much more experienced players to bring in. An example, Des Bremner was Onions replacement, he made his Hibs debut in our loss at Tannadice, in the fixture following the East Fife game & Des was playing in the Highland league three months earlier, Celtic had Craig, McGrain, Gemmell, Hay and Brogan for the full back positions, all were full Scottish internationalists and so on and so forth. Johnny Hamilton [who left at the end of 72/3 season] & John Hazel were about our only back up with any amount of first team experience, the Old Firm had international back up all over the park.

[BILLYHIBS]

The goal is on YouTube cannae see anything wrong with it or his challenge on Goncalves in the box as he appears to get the ball

Jimmy's 2nd on 1/1/73 was actually his 32nd goal, including 6 hat tricks, of the season. Our 7th goal was our 111th of the season. The team scored only 30 more and Jimmy only 2. We actually regrouped after the loss to Dundee United following the E Fife game and again after the 'cheated' cup replay loss to Rangers but we collapsed after the defeat by Hajduk Split. I remember Jimmy being subbed at Ibrox in the 1st cup game & i think he was left out of the replay. Don't think he was an automatic choice after that. Jim Herriot never played again after the game in Split. Pointswise we came closer in the 2 seasons we were runners up but 72/73 was our big chance.

Wonderful recollections, Brian.

If i may say so ,the stats you mention regards Jimmy's total just up to Jan 1st is amazing in any league.
What price a current player doing that now ?
The duo of Jimmy and Alan would be priceless nowadays.

The Split game away was decisive in Ned's thinking.(the changes)
But he was wrong and he said so years later
(to me in the Barnton bar one day i was in with Jimmy)

As said by Ray, we had no real back up of the quality,skill and experience of TTs(original11) and that done us in the end(that season)

As Doris Day would have said
Que Sera Sera !!

It was good while it lasted

A classic Scottish Cup tie played between two talented teams with their reputations at stake

HIBS found themselves a goal down at half-time but they were playing magnificently Alec Maley gave his players a pep talk at half-time and reminded them that it is “all about pride and tradition but more importantly we are a better team than that lot in the blue”

It paid off because early into the second half Darkie Walker equalised after Geordie Murray caused panic in the Rangers defence

The tie was now wide open and very hard but HIBS continued to play a sweet game The HIBS defence stood up to everything Rangers could throw at them with Willie Harper in outstanding form

The forwards were fast and tricky and Harry Ritchie was causing Rangers havoc on the right wing when with only seven minutes to go after one of his thunderous runs he squared the ball to Geordie Murray who rapped in the winner sending the 15000 HIBS supporters wild with delight

It's definitely Murrayfield. You can see the stand at the right of the guy's raised arm is the old North West Corner Stand.

[superfurryhibby]

The 2-4 game v Celtic. The biggest crowd I’ve been in at ER. Me and my pals went up to the ground around 2pm, probably earlier. We had learned that the only way in was to go early, before the police arrived, climb up the side of the gate and the. hide in the bushes on the slopes of the east terracing. We would sit quiet as mice and watch the shenanigans as people jumped over the wall and attempted to evade the cops.

The ground would be getting busy early doors and you could safely make an appearance. We often stood above the walkway between the upper and lower terrace. A handy spot to watch the swedging. The only crowd I’ve been in that was so tighly packed was Scotland v Wales at Murrayfield, round about that time.

[Highwayman]

Just catching up on yesterday’s posts on Turnbulls Tornadoes and season 1972/73.
Can’t add anything to them,as they were pretty much spot on.
Hibs had a player around that time who was a back up sweeper.
IIRC he only ever got a game when Sloop was very rarely injured or as happened at times suspended.
He was a fair haired lad whose first name was either Alex or Alan.
Always thought he had a bit of quality about him,but he was never going to get anywhere as long as Sloop was there.
Have no clue as to what happened in his career after he left Hibs.
Can anyone fill in the blanks ?

Anyone recall why Neil Cooper got sent off that day at Perth? I know he did but it’s escaped me.
My recollection was going towards half time, playing well and 1-0 up when Houchen got sent off with about a minute to the break. I can’t imagine Cooper had been sent off earlier than that. Lost the game 2nd half.

Houchey had a rush of blood early in the second half and booted Tommy Turner up the erchie Roddy Grant scored a last minute winner Neil Cooper was also sent off but you are correct probably after Houchen

The 2-4 game v Celtic. The biggest crowd I’ve been in at ER. Me and my pals went up to the ground around 2pm, probably earlier. We had learned that the only way in was to go early, before the police arrived, climb up the side of the gate and the. hide in the bushes on the slopes of the east terracing. We would sit quiet as mice and watch the shenanigans as people jumped over the wall and attempted to evade the cops.

The ground would be getting busy early doors and you could safely make an appearance. We often stood above the walkway between the upper and lower terrace. A handy spot to watch the swedging. The only crowd I’ve been in that was so tighly packed was Scotland v Wales at Murrayfield, round about that time.

Me too! I was 14 (I thought I was younger :-)) I was right down the front of the main terracing up against the wall with my dad. My memory is that, despite the hype before the game, Hibs didn't really turn up (or Celtic were just brilliant). Other significant memory is the surge forward of the crowd and being pinned up against the wall every time Hibs attacked. After that, I always insisted on standing in front of a crush barrier!

The 104k was only those who went through the turnstiles. IIRC they estimated another 15k or so got in without paying. Think tickets were only for the stand in those days. IIRC we won & denied Wales Grand Slam, which were (or seemed to be) much rarer in those days!

Apparently thousands of people left without even seeing the game, as they literally couldn't squeeze any more people on to the terracing.

Some of the guys in my class at school went to a game at Murrayfield in 1980 (I think) and one of them actually passed out on the terracing and had to be taken out on a stretcher. He was in the school rugby team as well... the big wimp.

I went to that game Scotland v Wales at Murrayfield in 1975.
You could buy a ticket but it only 'guaranteed' you entry if you arrived a certain time before kickoff. You could also gain entry by paying at the gate. I arrived with a ticket only to find vast crowds milling around the entrances and no prospect of getting in. I walked around the perimeter of the stadium and at the rear of the stand side of the ground found a gap where someone had removed part of a metal fence and people were piling in for free. So inside the ground at last I climbed up the steps to the top of the terracing, only to find that the crowd was so tightly packed it was simply impossible to find a way through and onto the terracing. I tried in several places without success and eventually had to give up. I walked home with the increasingly distant roars of the crowd behind me and ended up watching the match on tv at home. Biggest crowd I was ever part of - or nearly part of.

The talk after the game was all about the performance of young Calum Booth who put in a performance that belied his years and had many comparing him to John Brownlie

Indeed Booth gave HIBS the lead just short of the hour when he collected a Derek Riordan pass outside the box and lifted the ball beyond Esson and into his top far corner

Booth was then called into action at the other end of the park when he headered away a goalbound Inverness effort from underneath his own crossbar

Proverbial game of two halves. Hibs murdered them 1-0 going on 10-0 with the wind behind us and at HT the worst was feared. Can’t remember their equaliser but you’re probably correct.
I seem to remember Alex Edwards pinging wind-assisted swerving balls into their box that just could not be converted.

Hearts 3 v 4 Hibernian

Joe Baker 4

Hibs arrived at Tynecastle to face red hot favourites high flying Hearts -who would win the title - in front of a crowd of 41666 without talismanic centre forward Lawrie Reilly who was still recovering from a cartilage operation

HIBS Manager Hugh Shaw decided to go with the young inexperienced 17 year old Joe Baker who was not without promise having already scored in a win against Hearts to christen their floodlights a double against Queens Park, a goal in the previous round versus Dundee United and a hat-trick against Spurs

Anyway the game kicked off amid great anticipation Joe Baker missed a golden opportunity in the first few seconds. Hearts scored against the run of play after 10 minutes when a shot by Hamilton trickled over the line. Baker equalised less than one minute later when a shot from Ormond came crashing down off the underside of the crossbar HIBS were now in total dominance and in a shrewd move by Hugh Shaw before the game he had moved the strapping full back John Grant into midfield to counter the menace offered by Dave Mackay

Joe Baker thrived in the space created in the hole by Grant and he ran his marker Jimmy Milne ragged twice scoring with tremendous drives from outside the box after leaving Hearts defenders trailing in his wake blasting the ball past Gordon Marshall to put HIBS 1-3 up

Veteran Hearts midfielder Jimmy Wardhaugh pulled one back but Baker scored again when he hammered home a pass from John Fraser

Hibs led 4-2 with one minute to go - Hearts put HIBS under severe pressure and Murray pulled a goal back and still they came forward searching for an equaliser but Lawrie Leslie in the HIBS goal held firm and repelled all further Hearts attacks being carried from the field of play shoulder high by jubilant HIBS fans at the final whistle

HIBS would reach the final in this season defeating Rangers in the Semi Final after a replay

27 February 1961 v Airdrie was the first Hibs game I can remember attending.

Surprisingly enough, it was a Monday night, and although Hibs had played on the Saturday,apart from playing on the Monday they also had to front up for a league game on the Wednesday!.

I know it wasn't the first Hibs game I attended, but it is the first I can actually remember attending.

That 4-3 St Mirren game was amazing, as neither team had showed any form that season, nevermind any indication that they would serve up a 7 goal thriller. Think you have the year wrong, though, as IIRC it was 1991, not 1993.

[MartinfaePorty]

Brian Martin scored a screamer, then Hunter replied with an even better strike. Loved Gareth Evans for his workrate, effort and pace, but if we'd been able to keep Paul Wright and had him play alongside Keith I think they'd have scored a barrowload.

Been waiting on this one Billy.

27 February 1961 v Airdrie was the first Hibs game I can remember attending.

Recently returned to Edinburgh from the borders, I just missed the Peebles Rovers game and my parents decided that the crowd at the Barcelona game would be too big for a nine year old.

Surprisingly enough, it was a Monday night, and although Hibs had played on the Saturday,apart from playing on the Monday they also had to front up for a league game on the Wednesday!.

I know it wasn't the first Hibs game I attended, but it is the first I can actually remember attending.

Unlike those who claim to have been on their Daddy's knee at three months old etc when they first went to a game, I'm happy to start from a game I can actually remember.

My 60th anniversary of supporting Hibs!

19 surely Freddie!? :wink: Hope you're good mate!

Kilmarnock 2 v 4 Hibernian

Griffiths 15 82 89 pen
Done 39


A large vociferous HIBS support made their way through to Ayrshire for this televised classic Scottish Cup tie that would feature a virtuoso performance from Leigh Griffiths in which he would score his first hat-trick for the club

Killie had the better of the early openings but Griffiths opened the scoring when he latched onto a long ball from David Wotherspoon to fire home under the diving Cammy Bell

Killie equalised when Ben Williams parried a long range effort from Gros and James Dayton did not have to be asked twice

Just before half-time a mix up between Bell and Sissoko left the ball bouncing at the feet of Matt Done and he made no mistake from close range

Into the second half and Williams pulled off a great save from Dayton only for the Referee to pull play back awarding a penalty indicating that Lewis Stevenson had pulled Paul Heffernan back in the box as he went for the rebound -2-2

Griffiths then scored his second and HIBS ‘ third when he outpaced Sissoko and planted the ball behind Bell

As the game became stretched Barbour was sent off for pulling back Griffiths Gros handled the resulting freekick as part of the defensive wall inside the box giving Griffiths the opportunity to complete his hat-trick from the penalty spot who wasted no time in blasting the ball home and firing HIBS into the semifinals

Hibs started brightly against Craig Brewster’s United side that contained Grant Brebner

HIBS took the lead when Kevin Thomson found Derek Riordan lurking on the edge of the penalty area who cut inside and dispatched a low drive into the goalkeeper’s bottom left hand corner

United almost equalised when Grant Brebner spotted Simon Brown off his line but his effort from 30 yards clipped the top of the crossbar on it’s way over

HIBS increased their lead in 25 minutes when Chris Killen found Riordan out on the left ran into the box for the expected cross and Alan Archibald in trying to clear the danger only succeeded in heading the ball not over the crossbar but into the roof of his own net

Chris Killen did get his reward however in 33 minutes when picking up a long ball from Riordan he found himself through on goal with only Gary Kenneth in the way between him and goal He turned him inside out a couple of times before sending a shot across the diving Craig Samson and in at the far post

To whoever started "Here we go, two in a row" in the Roseburn end against Bonnyrigg, thank you. That tongue-in-cheek song just got more uplifting every round (and replay!). We don't have a word for it, but it was gallous. The Ayr game was a saunter and the semi draw made us pinch ourselves a little. "Oh my, we really actually could", although we all knew Celtic were probably too much and we didn't get the chance to prove that unfortunately. A quarter victory is never to be sniffed at, but singing that wee tune as we put the game out of doubt early was for me a magical Hibs memory. Not taking ourselves too seriously, but dreaming big.

Anyone remember the old Airdrieonians ( 1878-2002) that used to masquerade as a football team full of ex-Jambos that used to love to cynically kick us off the park in the early nineties and employ anti football tactics at every turn?

This Match was one such occasion

Having just won the League Cup we were confident of going for a Cup double but Airdrie had other ideas John Martin saved a Tommy McIntyre penalty after Pat McGinlay was brought down inside the box and with time running out Airdrie struck with a late double whammy sucker punch

This game was the precursor for a repeat scoreline one month later when Budgie and Callum Milne got sent off and Willie Miller saved a penalty guaranteeing them safety in the Premier League and the battle that was our relegation play off back in 1997

7/3/1973 European Cup Winners Cup Quarter Final Leg 1

Hibernian 4 v 2 Hadjuk Split

Gordon 3
Duncan

https://youtu.be/fsJoPmTO08M

Oh Salonika here we come !

Another great European night at Easter Road in front of 30000 but in typical HIBS style leading and coasting 4-1 with only 15 minutes to play they somehow manage to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory thanks to two late defensive lapses leaving themselves it all to do in the second leg

Eddie Turnbull was confident of us still going through

HIBS outplayed the Yugoslavs for large parts of this game - bear in mind that this side would supply the bulk of the players to Yugoslavia that would help knock Scotland out of the 1974 World Cup

Hibs were unfortunate not to win by more having three good penalty claims turned down by the Spanish Referee

Alex Edwards returned to the team from cold storage and this was a master stroke Wee Mickey being involved in every attack

After only 8 minutes he sent over a free-kick for Alan Gordon to head the first. HIBS were denied a penalty when Gordon was pushed to the ground in the 25th minute a minute later however HIBS were two ahead when Gordon grabbed his second thanks to an Alex Cropley cut back

In the 37th minute alarm bells were ringing when Hlevnjak nipped in to nod past Herriot

Two minutes into the second half and Arthur Duncan restored HIBS’ two goal advantage

Alan Gordon completed his hat-trick in the 70th minute when goalkeeper Sirkovic could only parry a drive from Erich Schaedler and he scored from close range

14 minutes from the end disaster struck when that man Hlevnjak scrambled the ball home to give ‘The Pirates’ hope for the second leg

7/3/1914 Scottish Cup Quarter Final

Queens Park 1 v 3 Hibernian

Paterson
Wilson 2

55000 filled Hampden for this battle of the old masters Queens Park who had contested 12 finals and had won 10 losing twice against Celtic against the Irish upstarts from Leith

It is reckoned that 35000 Hibees were there that day thanks to reinforcements from our friends in the West

Hibs led 1-0 at half-time thanks to a goal from Captain and Centre Half Mattha Paterson

The wee American Bobby Wilson put HIBS further ahead after the interval but future Rangers and Scotland wizard Alan Morton pulled one back for the amateurs

Any fightback was put on a peep when Wilson crashed home HIBS’ third guaranteeing our place in the semifinals

The dream was still alive

Cheers for that. Makes sense that I have no memory of him, then. 😀

[gbhibby]

Remember my dad and his Hibby workmates going to travel agents to explore ways of how to get to Salonika such was the confidence at the time. Listened to second leg on radio, so disappointed, was looking forward to going abroad for the first time. Does anyone remember Alex Edwards right hook which floored the Split player who had been fouling him all night. Thank god the officials did not see it.

One of my earliest ER memories was being at a QOS game, and it might have been that one. Anybody remember who Falconer was?only slight remembrance of him as his winner in Utrecht has been discussed with folk previously, also thinking i may have been at the QOS game you mentioned, if it was the one where John Parke scored the best own goal ive ever seen then i definitely was there with my dad.

The Hajduk Split tie has got to go down as one of Hibs biggest what if moments. We would have played Leeds United in the semi finals (who progressed to the final but lost 1-0 to AC Milan) The final was in Greece just how bl00dy good would that have been.

I remember the 4 v 2 game . Late goal we lost made a big difference though we would have gone out on away goals if 4 v 1 then 0 v 3 . John Blackley was sent off in the second leg . 6 against Sporting Lisbon , 7 against Besa and 4 against Hadjuk Split . In those days even the best of teams were often thrashed away from home .

A classic Scottish Cup tie and a match that had everything Played in a gale with an electric atmosphere it had goals, controversy, crunching tackles, penalties and all topped off with a pitch invasion

There was no TV coverage thanks to a dispute so 20000 crammed into Easter Road

Celtic took a 1-0 half-time lead thanks to a Brian McClair strike from a corner

Stevie Cowan equalised when he bundled the ball over the line in 51 minutes going down the slope

Mark McGhee put Celtic back in front 10 minutes later when he hammered a pass from Johnston into the roof of the net Gordon Chisholm then headed HIBS level with a towering header Stevie Cowan put HIBS 3-2 ahead from the penalty spot

Celtic were then awarded a soft penalty two minutes later that McClair scored with only minutes left on the clock

Joe Tortolano then swept a beautiful ball over to the right wing to substitute ‘ Bomber Harris’ who swept in a low cross that was met by the almost prostrate diving figure of Eddie May to head HIBS into the semifinals of the Scottish Cup and send the East radge

Both teams played grand Cup tie football but the volunteers could not break down the HIBS defence in which Willie Harper played his part

The Hibernian forwards were smarter than the very able Third Lanark attack and the Irishmen won narrowly but deservedly So Alec Maley’s celebrated Hibernian team were in the final of the Scottish Cup

That 79 cup game v the tarts was my first Derby match. It started a series of firsts for me. The semi win v Aberdeen was my first trip to Hampden and the final was my first Scottish Cup final loss!! Sadly not the last🙄

My memory is of the really tight segregation for that game and watching George Stewart and Gordon Rae playing for HIBS was like supporters living the dream

I can still picture the delight on both their faces when they celebrated their goals

Even when O’Connor scored you could see that their supporters knew it was a consolation as there was no way we were losing that match

Not forgetting Jackie and Ralphie who were also big hibbies :greengrin

Cannae believe Tam Mcmanus heider against Killie in the last minute was 20 years ago !! That is scary !

One of my biggest memories of the day was all the tarts fighting amongst themselves and the with the polis. It was probably the day that really cemented that I was Hibs through and through for life. *******s!😆

What about Jinky’s cross for Dixie Deans’ goal ?

Just aboot knocked him oot

How lucky is that ?

You're being too kind to him. It was a wayward shot.

Dixie Deans could have farted on the pitch and accidentally wafted the ball in the net against Hibs during that era.

11/3/1967 Scottish Cup Round 3

Hibernian 1 v 1 Aberdeen

Stevenson 16

Aberdeen were a dour team and set up defensively for this fixture They had to resort to plan B when Eric Stevenson crashed a left footed shot high past Bobby Clark from 18 yards on the quarter hour

“In the next round a real blood and thunder clash against Aberdeen I scored possibly the best goal of my career Receiving a one two from Pat Quinn just inside the box I hesitated briefly before crashing a thunderous first time left foot drive past Bobby Clark into his top left hand corner for my first ever goal in the Scottish Cup “

Aberdeen were forced out of their shell and HIBS appeared to be coping admirably until Jimmy Smith punished a moment of slackness in the 86th minute

Reilly 2

A horror show from young Dundee goalkeeper Bill Brown handed HIBS the points

For the first he clashed with Lawrie Reilly pulling his jersey back the ball broke free and trickled over the line the Referee decided to dispense with the penalty and awarded the goal The second a hopeful cross from Gordon Smith sailed over his head and in off the back post The third he allowed a tame shot from Reilly to squirm from his grasp and over the line

Dundee pulled a goal back through Gerrie but their hopes of a revival were crushed when Bobby Johnstone added a fourth

Gerrie scored a late consolation for Dundee to make the score more respectable

Bill Brown would go on to have a distinguished career with Dundee Tottenham Hotspur and Scotland winning the Scottish League Cup, English First Division, 2 x FA Cups, 2 x Charity Shields and the ECWC

In arranging for a five o’ clock kick off HIBS Manager Alec Maley was taking a gamble with the weather He was rewarded for his optimism as the light held out Not only were the conditions perfect but a crowd of over 20000 turned out

HIBS ran amok and led by three at half time with counters from ‘Darkie’ Walker, Jimmy McColl and Johnny Halligan

In the second half Jimmy McColl added a fourth as Hibernian set about their work with renewed vigour and always looked certain winners even if they continued to miss chances at the rate they had been doing The score was not at all flattering to the Irishmen who with better finishing the final score would have been overwhelming

Hibs were now second in the league having pushed Rangers into third place Airdrie were now top of the League but it was very tight
