Favourite non Hibs moment in football

[LustForLeith]

Brilliant drama at both ends of the Premier table today for me thinking about my favourite moment of e watching football that didn’t involve Hibs.

Quite a few but I’ll often go back to the YouTube clip of Watford v Leicester. Leicester player dives for a penalty in the last minute, scores to put them through to the play off final. He takes the penalty, keeper saves it, saves the rebound, ball gets launched up the park.

And the rest is history…

I remember watching this in the Dockers. Stunned

[Since452]

Highland League Brora putting Hearts out the Scottish cup after not playing for months

[Greencore]

Hearts winning the league at dens of course.

[Broken Gnome]

Memorable rather than favourite...

Man City-Gillingham (1999?).

Last two minutes of Germany-Italy in 2006.

If Hearts still counts as non-Hibs, I'll plump for the favourite as the entire passage of play from the Ryan Stevenson high-five to Inverness equaliser in the League Cup semi at Easter Road.

[The Modfather]

Being there when McFadden scored in Paris. Still gives me goosebumps when I watch the goal.

Non Scotland, Bergkamp’s goal against Argentina at France 98. Particularly with the Dutch commentary.

[SaulGoodman]

Griffiths’ second against England.

Or Armstrong’s monster clearance at the end to ensure we won 2-1.

More than just a football moment.
But a moment in time, if witnessed,never forgotten.
Arguable,but many football historians agree,the finest game of club football seen in Britain.
Hampden Park 1960. European Cup Final.
As i happens, the German side that won in Seville last week were involved.
They had also beat oldco in the semi final !!

My father,brother and other family members saw live this astonishing game.

Brazil's 4th goal in the 1970 world cup final against Italy.

[Pagan Hibernia]

The hand of god, 86. And of course Diego’s second that day too. Beautifully encapsulating the two sides of maradona, and you could argue the two sides of Argentinian football.

1986 was a generally good year for non Hibs moments come to think of it.

honourable mentions go to Mickey Thomas against liverpool 1989, solskjaer against Bayern 1999, and aguero against qpr 2012

[MKHIBEE]

Being behind the goal when Frank Worthington scored his wonder goal for Bolton against Ipswich.

I was in Paris, but was probably going to go for the scenes around us at the final whistle.

It was the perfect Scotland trip and an outstanding result.

At that point we were very optimistic about our chances of qualification.

What a night that turned out to be.

[Pretty Boy]

Seeing Scotland walk out alongside Brazil to kick off the 1998 World Cup.

I was only 8 when the 1994 WC was on and was on holiday in Portugal whilst Ireland's group games were on. My Dad and I watched them with dozens of Irishmen and I was so jealous of them enjoying that, especially on the back of their performance in 1990 as well.

4 years later and not only were Scotland at the WC but we were playing in the opening game against arguably the most iconic football nation of them all.

I was in the middle seats in the stand behind the goal but never saw the goal that was scored because I was too busy watching the crowd whilst the ball was being passed around in midfield! 🙄

[SteveHFC]

Leigh’s 2nd free kick against England, was sitting behind the goals at Hampden for that game and when that goal went into the net. The place erupted. The limbs/celebration’s in the stands still gives me goosebumps to this day.

This. I called both freekicks surrounded by all my English pals only to crash land moments later.

[O'Rourke3]

At Hampden when Dalglish scored that goal versus Spain. Excellent night of football.

Came away from Hampden that day feeling emotional. From being seconds away to recording one of the great victories in Scottish football history to end up drawing the game.

Still haven’t forgiven Armstrong for what he did.

[NAE NOOKIE]

The 2007 UEFA cup final Sevilla v Espanyol at Hampden ...... I was watching on the telly and it looked like Sevilla who were 2 - 1 up with 5 minutes to go in extra time were about to win, the cameras panned to the crowd and focused on this really old guy sitting at the Espanyol end, he was crying his eyes out and my heart went out to him, he must have supported Espanyol all his life, which must be a hell of a hard shift in a city with Barcelona in it, and he could obviously see that one chance for his club to be the story for once slipping away.

From that second I was praying for Espanyol to equalise for the old guy and with 5 minutes to go they did, I launched myself off the couch with a giant yeeeeesssss and the cat sitting on my partners knee got the fright of its life dug in his claws and ripped her leg a giud yin .... for some reason she was even less of a fitba fan than she had been before that :greengrin

Sevilla won the game on penalties, so the auld guy didn't get his moment of glory after all :boo hoo:

[matty_f]

Liverpool coming back from 3-0 down to AC Milan to win the Champions League or Man U scoring twice in the final minutes to win the CL and do the treble were pretty spectacular moments.

Raith Rovers beating Rangers in the Petrofac Cup (or might still have been the Ramsden’s then) at Easter Rd was braw, as was ICT beating Hearts in the league cup semi at Easter Rd.

[HoboHarry]

OGS scoring the winner for Man Utd against Bayern Munich. Losing 1-0 going into injury time and ending 2-1 winners. Lol - I heard the neighbor cheer the goal at the same time I did.....

[The Spaceman]

Manchester City are still alive here…Balotelli…Aguerooooooooo!

Liverpool Vs AC Milan from 3-0 down in the CL final as well.

[Alex Trager]

Quite enjoyed the football this week.

Huns losing on pens.
Hearts losing after being told for 5/6 weeks how they were winning the cup.
City coming back from the dead in 5 minutes to win the league.

I wouldn’t say I enjoyed it because I was stressed out my box, but the enjoyment did eventually come, England losing the Euros on pens and Rio’s tears, again after his billy big baws attitude. Maybe topped off by learning that TheCat23 (I think it was) had gotten into a small twitter spat with Rio about it as well.

I think all of Real Madrid’s great escapes in the knockouts of this CL have been outstanding entertainment.

I still remember so much about that game. The range of emotions when we scored, did that go in, OMG it actually went in, carnage, what do we do now, we’re ahead in Paris, do we celebrate or panic for the next 30 minutes.

Also remember an announcement about the last metro with about 15 minutes to go and laughing. As if the time of the last metro was on our minds.

Sure France played Lithuania at the next game and the France manager was happy. Not because there would be more French fans in the ground but that there’d be no Scotland fans there 😀

Good point. They did the same for Jimmy Johnson after Puskas’ testimonial. That’s football supporters in action. Appreciating the skills of others whilst passionate about their own team.
I do wish we could see that return to the game in Scotland. Nowadays it seems to be all about hate.

[GRA]

A rather random one here but does anyone remember the Euro 2000 game between Spain & Yugoslavia? Finished 4-3 to the Spanish. One of those games where it was impossible to keep up to date with all the chances that were created. Spain had to win and scored two goals in injury time to qualify for the next round. It had me choking on my sandwich when the winning goal went in!

[Broken Gnome]

You must've had a pretty short attention span, there was literally no passing around midfield :greengrin

I remember the Brazilian Ronaldo being applauded off at Old Trafford. I think he was subbed after scoring a hat-trick for Real Madrid. There was a Spanish game where the home support gave Messi a standing ovation after he scored a brilliant goal. But it doesn't happen often.

Being at all three games at Italia90. Especially the Sweden game, atmosphere like nothing I'd seen until 21st May 2016.

There's a video on Youtube that captures the whole thing from the England end. Fair play to the guy as he keeps recording through the Scotland celebrations but gets his reward by getting Kane's equaliser too. It's a great video that captures the essence of being a football fan. The quiet despair in one part of the stadium, the ecstacy in the other part, the taunting... then it flips on it's head two minutes later. (switching off around 3:30 is advised for some)

[CL0762]

I was working in Vodafone at the time of the Aguero last minute winner, we’d left 1 guy on the shop floor and about 7 of us huddled around an iPad in the back office. We went mental when he scored even though none of us supported Man City.

Liverpools comeback vs AC Milan and against Barca a few years back are standouts too.

But my own would be Lucas Moura in the last minute vs Ajax, Spurs have always been my ‘second team’ ever since I was a wee boy and watching them steal it with the last kick of the ball to go into the champions league final was incredible to see.

Also seen them leather Hearts 5 zip in person at Tynie when they played them in the europa qualifiers [emoji1]

Pele, Brazil world cup Final? 1970, dummied the keeper ran around him but just missed the goal, brilliant, just brilliant.
Also have to mention Maradona for Napoli v Stuttgart the game in Stuttgart and the wee man took them apart to win the Fairs Cup or whatever it was called at the time.

[One Day Soon]

Italy winning the World Cup in 1982.

Beating Argentina, West Germany and Brazil to win it with the astonishing goal scoring performance across the tournament of Paolo Rossi and the absolutely iconic goal celebration of Marco Tardelli.

Beating that West German team was impressive but not as sweet as paying Brazil back for the 1970 final. Sure, you can play in the heat of Mexico and you're great on the beach but can you do it on a balmy July evening in Barcelona? :greengrin

I blame Craig Gordon for the goal more than Armstrong.

As brilliant as he’s been so many times against Hibs it was a pitiful piece of goalkeeping. Shameful.

I work in Glasgow and was travelling through on the 900 bus on the day of that match. Quite a lot of the visiting supporters chose to stay in Edinburgh and travelled through for the match.

I went mid-morning and found the bus full of Sevilla fans and one lone Espanyol supporter. The Sevilla fans were singing all the way to Glasgow. The one Espanyol die hard kept adding (in a rather squeaky voice) “and Espanyol” to every mention of Sevilla.

England v Iceland at the Euros, never saw that coming....could not believe just how bad some of the English passing was, kept expecting them the 'click' but it never happened.
Would love to say Hearts v Brora but only found out about that the next day......must have read the BBC headline about 10 times before it finally sunk in and I felt confident enough to start sending out texts to rather quiet Hearts supporting mates. I've got one Jambo mate who was originally from Brora, moved down here when he was just a kid......the look of utter confusion on his face as he couldn't work out if he should be proud or sickened :greengrin
The one game that has stuck in my mind the longest though is the 1982 world cup final. I was 7 and it was my 'first' finals (remember nothing of 78). The whole tournament blew me away....and Tardelli's celebration must be one of the most iconic moments in sport.

I loved the '94 World Cup. It was the first WC after I got interested in football and I just loved it. I liked Italy (I still like that Valentino shirt) and I'm pretty sure there were games on in the morning, which I really liked.

Earliest non-football moment? I collected football stickers because everyone else did. One kid in my class needed Packie Bonner to complete the set. I had that sticker and got all his 'doublers' as a result. Didn't know a bleddy thing about the sport or any of the players, but I still remember the excitement of getting the 'Liverpool shiney' and the satisfying rip of a packet...and the smell of those plasticy stickers.
Happy days!

Same, I was 9 at the time and it's the first world cup I remember. Made all the sweeter by being in Italy on holiday for the duration. Remember being captivated by Nigeria, and celebrating like a madman when Letchkov scored against Germany in the quarter finals. I wasn't really sure why to be honest but it was a great moment.

Also going out into the streets of Turin after Italy winning their semi-final was incredible. Crowds of people, cars horns blaring, flags and celebrations everywhere.

Gascoigne’s goal against Scotland and Liverppool winning the first ever Merseyside derby FA cup final 3-1 after being 1-0 down at half time to a Lineker goal, one of my greatest trips to Wembley.

Vague memories of that game at the time (back in the day when the Scottish and FA Cup finals were on the same day, and we got shown the goals at HT) - but recently watched the excellent Two Tribes documentary on BT Sport and saw the footage of the fans clambering 50+ft up the side of the old Wembley stadium and making death defying jumps to get into the game.

Absolutely terrifying to watch!

Thomas at Anfield in 89 , Liverpool thought they had won it , Barnes high fiving the players

2 hibs fans shouting nonsense at Tam McManus whilst he was warming up behind the goals at the home end when he was a sub for Boston Utd[emoji23].

To be fair he looked a bit shocked, waved a bit then ran up the line to get as far away as possible.

David Marshall's penalty save against Mitrovic in Serbia.

France 98 was my introduction to Football, but at 7, I can't really remember much of it and never saw Scotland qualify for it, so seeing Scotland finally qualify for a major tournament was incredible

I blame Craig Gordon for the goal more than Armstrong.

As brilliant as he’s been so many times against Hibs it was a pitiful piece of goalkeeping. Shameful.

I still get pissed off thinking about it.

Not more than Armstrong but equally absolutely pooed his pants. Pathetic didn't cover himself in glory the first either

David Narey's goal against Brazil, Seville, 1982. Sweet joy, but short-lived.

I think we all had the some thought when he scored that - 'That's just going to provoke them'.

[SHODAN]

Has to be McFadden's goal in France or Marshall's penalty save really.

[Jones28]

I enjoyed seeing Germany go out the World Cup against Japan (or South Korea? Can’t quite remember) a few years ago.

Man City winning the league for the first time was utter bedlam, as was Leicester winning it.

Germany beating Brazil 7-0 was surreal, it was a bit like watching Azlan dying in Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

I loved the '94 World Cup. It was the first WC after I got interested in football and I just loved it. I liked Italy (I still like that Valentino shirt) and I'm pretty sure there were games on in the morning, which I really liked.

Earliest non-football moment? I collected football stickers because everyone else did. One kid in my class needed Packie Bonner to complete the set. I had that sticker and got all his 'doublers' as a result. Didn't know a bleddy thing about the sport or any of the players, but I still remember the excitement of getting the 'Liverpool shiney' and the satisfying rip of a packet...and the smell of those plasticy stickers.
Happy days!

I was about 9 for USA 94. I still have fond memories of staying up well past my bed time watching games with my Dad. I remember the games being on past midnight but they probably weren’t, just felt like that at that age.

Three years ago today SJM scored the goal that put Aston Villa into the EPL

How much was that goal worth?

15th April 1967 when we became World Champions at Wembley.

[StarryPloughHSC]

Brilliant drama at both ends of the Premier table today for me thinking about my favourite moment of e watching football that didn’t involve Hibs.

Quite a few but I’ll often go back to the YouTube clip of Watford v Leicester. Leicester player dives for a penalty in the last minute, scores to put them through to the play off final. He takes the penalty, keeper saves it, saves the rebound, ball gets launched up the park.

And the rest is history…

Villas promotion back to the Prem. Grew up going to ER with my dad and watching Villa on the tele every week I could with my Brummy Uncle that lived round the corner.

Grew up supporting Hibs and Villa whilst both clubs were in freefall so to see them get promoted and now after huge players is a new thing for me.


Hibs and Villa fan during the early 00's and 2010's, Satan wouldn't chose two worse team's during those eras to support for his worst enemy😂

[cannastar]

archie gemmell v holland delightful goal and strangely enough ray houghton goal v italy as was in the temple bar watching it unfold in 1994. very surreal and the celebrations in oconell street afterwards.

While Hibs have had poor league performances in that time, we've won 2 cups in the last 15 years. Its one of the most successful periods in our history.

Na, Arsenal win trophies. That's the difference. Hibs have more cups than spurs this century.

Arsenal haven’t even finished above spurs since Hibs last won a cup 😂 slowly becoming an irrelevant club.

Paulo Di Canio at Goodison Park for me when he caught the ball in the penalty box from a cross following an injury to the Everton goalkeeper .
He received a standing ovation IIRC.

So irrelevant that half your posts are about them. Massive club.

the absolute cheek of spurs trying to join the Super League when they haven’t won their domestic title for 60 years (and only twice in their entire history), haven’t won a European trophy for nearly 40 years, or even so much as an FA Cup for 30 years…

Bottled a 4 point lead with 3 games to go (if I used the term bottled correctly)

You must be gutted.
