Coming soon, 50yr anniversary

[brydekirk]

The 50th anniversary of our 7-0 hammering of the jambos is on the 1st of January 2023.
I'm hoping the lucky fans who have tickets for the next Derby will take some comfort in reminding them at the game. :thumbsup:

Has that sale already happened??

This has us making a c*** of it, written all over it.

Remember the next game after the 7 0 game guys with 7 0 flags and banners getting arrested. Guy next to us got arrested for having a 7 0 flag, police were completely out of order that day.

Reminds me of the time Ian Murray dyed 7-0 on the back of his head for a derby we went on to lose.

was that the next derby when we lost 4-1?

hahaha. Probably.

who cares. They won’t beat us 7-0 that’s for sure.

Yes it was that one. Even the Hearts fans beside us on the terracing thought the police were out of order.

[Carheenlea]

I’m 52, so because I have no memories of the momentous occasion, it felt as far back in the past when tormenting Hearts fans at school about the scoreline 10 years later, as it does now 50 years down the line!

should have been at least eight, if not double figures. That Stanton shot.., I’ve no idea how he kept it out.

[Itsnoteasy]

Best ever 7-0 banner was at Tynie.

After The Hurricane came back from 7 nil doon to defeat The Nugget in the 83-84 UK Championships.

It read.... At least Higgins can come back from 7-0

[cocteautwin]

How very appropriate that it's the number 50. The same number of £ millions that Hearts will have spent of fans and Anderson's extra money before they can win a trophy (if they don't win the Scottish Cup this season).

P*shed!

50th anniversary of the League Cup win on December (the 9th) comes up first, that's worth commemorating too. I was 8 years old and in Hibees heaven, damn shame my auld man didn't take me to the game though. My youngest laddie's birthday too, aptly named Patrick Stanton Taylor (sorry for mentioning this for about the hundredth time, still can't believe I got away with it with the ex)

The fact that that game was the 30th anniversary is terrifying enough in itself. 20 years??

time to tear up the script but many of us have seen those movies over the year… crap state of affairs

Thanks for posting

Really enjoyed that

The best brand of football the world’s ever seen

What a team that was totally different gravy

My auld man used to say the same about the Famous Five

[Trinity Hibee]

Enjoyed that. Oh to have been a Hibs fan in those days. If there was one team I could go back to watch it would be that one.

[Halmyre Hibee]

Great memories of a fantastic era to watch Hibs. Just wish I hadn’t went to the New Year parties in our stair and missed the game. Listened to the second half on the radio after a neighbour chapped our door to say it was 5 nil. Didn’t believe him so went to his party. What a day. Couldn’t find any of my Hearts pals for days.

Thanks for posting the link , fantastic memories of a great day.
Like one of the guys interviewed my 1st Derby was 1968 incredible to think there were only 2 derby defeats in the next 15 years.
Didn't realise that was the last time the Tornadoes played together .
Some great stories about how close they were as a team great characters.
Spoiled as that was the team I was brought up with thought it was always going to be like that.
Was at an audience with the Tornadoes during the festival and then at the 50 year anniversary dinner at Easter Road , had a good chat with Stanton, Blackley and Brownlie and some cracking photos .
Great in house production from the Hibs media team

[CL0762]

Can remember phoning my Grandad from the pitch at Hampden that day in May, trying to find him in the crowd.

‘We’ve done it, we’ve finally done it’.

‘Aye, it’s no 7-0 at Tynecastle though is it?’

Nothing topped this game for him, absolutely nothing.

Thanks for posting. That was a joy to watch over again. Was in their enclosure under the main stand that day, but missed wee Jimmy's first goal because of the queues waiting to get in. Absolutely magnificent performance from us that day. Never to be forgotten.

I dread to think what will happen if our current team go two-nil down at Tiny early on.

Just watched this. Really is fantastic, well worth a watch and class to hear from the players.

[California-Hibs]

Just finished watching it. Absolutely fantastic, brilliantly put together. I'm 34 so it was before my time, but having seen so much footage and heard so many stories I probably feel as big a part of it and proud of it as if I had been there.

Just watching that documentary has brought it all to the fore and it was fantastic hearing some of the little stories about the day and game and seeing footage I hadn't before. It genuinely looked like it could have been about 11 or 12 that day!

Few favorites in particular were the Hibs fans singing to their 'we are the Gorgie boys'.....🎵ah 1, ah 2, ah 3 ah 4 ah 5, ah 1, ah 2, ah 3 ah 4 ah 5, we'll beat the Jam Tarts any day as sure as you're alive🎵

And then the referee having a word with Pat Stanton and telling him he better have a word with Alex Edward's because if he continues to sing the Jingle Bells song along with the Hibs fans he's going to have to book him 😂😂

🎵Jingle Bells Jingle Bells Jingle All The Way, Oh What Fun It Is To Beat The Hearts On New Years Day Oh🎵

As BILLYHIBS says those were the days my friends we thought they'd never end.
Best month watching Hibs rounded off with a wee victory at the dump

Just watched it one of the best hibs films in fact the best hibs film I've ever seen the content and the interviews were brilliant well done to whoever made this brilliant.

[BILLYHIBS]

Really enjoyed watching the greatest game in history in glorious technicolour

Their camaraderie and humour reminded me of a Beatles movie

Highly recommended

Can mind on the way home some of the older Hibs fans signing Daniel Boone Beautiful Sunday changing the day to Monday , the 2nd line being ‘ I think I’ll take a walk in the park hey hey hey what a beautiful day ‘

So good eh!! I'll be (foolishly) watching it again before Monday!

[Greenbeard]

It was New Year’s Day babe
Across at Tynie
An old man said to me, won't see another one
And then he sang a song
The Glory Hibees tune
I turned my face away
And dreamed a win for him

Then Jimmy scored the first
Came in at seven nil
Oh what a feeling
That year for me and him
A happy New Year’s Day
I love you Hibees
Was there a better time
When all our dreams came true

They were handsome
Played pretty
Kings of our City
When the team finished playing
We howled out for more

The terrace was swinging,
All the Hibees were singing
We pissed on the Jambos
Then danced through the night

The boys of the E’nbra Hibees choir
Were singing "Glory be"
And the bells were ringing out
On New Year’s Day.
