Famous Hibs quotes?

[WhileTheChief..]

With the Williamson cinema one being bogus, are there any other instantly recognisable quotes attributed to Hibs?

Closest things I can think of would be Petrie’s ‘sporting integrity’ or ‘over exuberance’.

Both classics in their own right that will never be forgotten by Hibs fans.

"Yeez huv got a point, don't lose it" Bertie Auld team talk.

"Fitba folk ken whits gaun oan". The Yogster (I can't recall the circumstances).

What was that little-known quote from 2016? Something like - "McGinn to provide", or "Stokes to serve" ....

Class, 1st class and Hibs class

[andy1875]

Terry Butcher once said:-

“Sometimes maybe it's a good thing if you lose an early goal because it takes away the threat of conceding because you have conceded”

Thank goodness we are well shot with that mindset!! So ridiculous its laughable.

Dave Ewing?

Yes. It was a full headline on the back page of the Express.

I remember my old man holding it up to show me with a big grin on his face.

Trouble was, it was after we drew with the club formally known as Rangers in a Scottish Cup semi, we went and got beat in the replay

Sir Matt Busby

The foreword to "100 Years of Hibs".


Sir Matt took a lot from his time at Hibs. No mistake there was a Busby Babes after The McCartney Babes had all grown up. He also tried to take Turnbull when he was in his prime, sheer bloody mindedness from Ned meant he stayed at ER.

[CropleyWasGod]

Yes. It was a full headline on the back page of the Express.

I remember my old man holding it up to show me with a big grin on his face.

Tom McNiven told me his version of that story.

Ewing was laying into the players at half time, and to gee them up, he told them that Rangers were rubbish. Unfortunately, the dressing room door was open, and someone heard him. 😂

He was right though, even if they beat us.

I could have sworn he said it when at Hibs - a fair few on here are equally adamant that it was while he was with Killie.

I wish someone would find the original article!

"Hearts are a pub team"... (or words to that effect) - John Collins


I think it was after the Boxing Day derby in 2006, Collins said:

“I can’t believe we just got beat by a ******ing pub team”

Hearts got very upset.

[leith lynx]

"Morons" - ex-chairman Dougie Cromb's description of a certain 'element' of Hibs supporters in the eighties....

[Billy Whizz]

John Collins used to say something like
The ball is round, keep it on the grass

[jacomo]

McLeish: “Football should be played with the ball on the ******ing carpet.”

Mowbray: “Play like that and we will win more than we lose.”

"I will be here as long as you want me to be here" - McLeish

F*** Off!! - Eddie Turnbull, to us young crestfallen laddies having a kick-about in front of the old players entrance circa 1974.

F*** Off!! - Eddie Turnbull, to us young crestfallen laddies having a kick-about in front of the old players entrance circa 1974.

Yup, Eddie was a genius.

When his pub opened on ER he told us when we were just in the door - "Nae colours" - he was joking but he wasn't as well, just to be awkward (and funny). I met Alex Edwards that day and he treated me to a double voddy over a chat I was too star-struck to remember afterwards. A gentleman.

[LithgaeHibby]

"The shot had zing, I opened a can of beans with that one", Cummings at Hamilton (pity about the second leg).

I know, I am utterly convinced that he said it during his time with Hibs. However, if you say something enough times even though it is incorrect, it becomes truth ie Hearts are *****. No, hang on, that's the exception lol

[Lancs Harp]

Not quite a Hibs quote but 2016 Andy Halliday "******"

Terry Butcher once said:-

“Sometimes maybe it's a good thing if you lose an early goal because it takes away the threat of conceding because you have conceded”

Thank goodness we are well shot with that mindset!! So ridiculous its laughable.

Not to defend Butcher, but Mowbray said a similar thing as Hibs boss.

Gist was that he felt games opened up after the first goal, so that sometimes he didnt even mind if the opposition scored it.

Eddie Turnbull to Alan Gordon "the problem with you Gordon is that your brains are in your head"

Heard a story long time ago, not sure if true but good anyway.

Jim O'Rourke in a pub. A table of Jambos keep looking over his way. On his way out Jimmy stops at their table and says, "Hi lads, i know you're wondering, but it was the 1st and the 6th, and keeps walking.

As I say, might not be true, but funny.

This one now joins the ranks of famous quotes :greengrin

"Hibs will win the Scottish Cup when you least expect it" - Pat Stanton.
It really is taken for granted that we won the Scottish Cup while in the second tier, purely cause it was against the Huns it’s not something that will dawn on folk not involved with Hibs

The only quote needed is ‘PERSEVERE’

[loanheadhibby]

Lawrie Reilly quote about being born a Hibee, etc. Don't know it off pat so won't risk getting it wrong.
I was born a Hibbie and I'll die a Hibbie.
