Best club in Fife



When i was at school early 1960s,my big brother took me over to East End Park more than once to see that great Pars team in Europe.Fond of them ever since.

Then they had two great players in their forward line.

George Peebles and Harry Melrose.

What was the longest pass ever in World football ?

Melrose to Peebles :greengrin



Hoooft !!

I dont know about Benny.
I guess when he left Hibs his career was at a crossroads.

Their centre forward Charlie Dickson was nicknamed Galashiels because he was between Melrose and Peebles! IIRC Charlie scored 2 when the wee team Heartsed it in the 1968 final!!

Before my time but I vaguely remember Hearts losing cup final in 1968 but certainly remember Dunfermline winning in Europe about same time so result was no surprise - Dunfermline were a better team than Hearts for several or more years at that time not that that was difficult !

Yes,Alex did play and Roy Barry was in that Pars team,too.
Good centre half was Roy at Hibs and Hearts.
The Manager,George Farm had a short spell at Hibs after the war.

I was at that final .I was 16,
I had a pal who stayed in Stenhouse who was a Jambo and his older family members asked if i wanted to go with them.
Went on a bus from the BMC Club.
Apart from that,no recall of the game itself.

George Farm played a handful of games for Hibs before moving south, he went on to play well over 400 games for my local club Blackpool including being the keeper in the legendary 53 FA cup final when Blackpool beat Bolton 4-3. Played for Scotland too.
