I agree
Football players in football games .Who would have thunk !
Over the years there may well have been many famous faces at games ,particularly comics and actors during Festival and fringe.
I recall seeing Jimmy Tarbuck and his side kick Kenny Lynch at the Holy Ground v Liverpool in Fairs Cup tie.

Russell Hunter actor and his wife Una McLean* also an actor lived in Leith in their later years and were spotted at ER

Also i recall Una Stubbs of the famous tv comedy show"Till death to us part" fame being in the old enclosure with a Hibs scarf on.
I know younger fans here may not have a clue who i am referring too. But they all were famous in their day.

Wee Ronnie Corbett,comic actor,the famous fan of the "famous",could when he was 45 still get into tynie at the boys gate. ! Him and Jimmy Clitheroe:greengrin

* Una McLean
She had her own Hibs song:greengrin
When we sold Colin Stein to the hun for £100.000 a Scottish transfer record at the time.
We use to sing a song about it in the Cave

Aye, if you're including football folk then in terms of fame, Jock Stein should be in there.
Guess Stuart Hogg must have been at games, but you can argue how famous is he outside egg-chasing. In the same vein, the legend that is John Rutherford is a known Hibbie.

In 1941, Rudolf Hess crash landed a Messerschmitt in a field a few miles away from Dungavel House, the home of the Duke of Hamilton.

According to my Grandad, he was on his way to watch a Hibs match and took a wrong turning at Newcastle.

A classical music fan and Hibernian stalwart told me that the great Russian composer and virtuoso pianist Sergei Rachmaninoff once played a concert at Edinburgh’s Usher Hall.
Rachmaninoff was also a big football fan and he was looking to take in a match whilst he was in Edinburgh.
As it happened Hibs were playing Motherwell on the same day and Sergei took himself down to ER.
It was a dreich dull November day and unfortunately the game was equally dreich and dull ending in a
0-0 draw.
The experience depressed the great Russian so much that it moved him to compose his mournful
3rd Concerto.

Yip worth repeating from the old thread that back in the olden days when Hibs were dining at the top table in Europe we were totally robbed by SV Hamburg / Ref at Easter Road

1-0 down from the first leg we scored two goals and had two good goals disallowed for offside- the Hamburg goalie wore a green jersey- and we even missed a penalty

Uwe Seeler - what a player- with the Bobby Charlton hairstyle- found himself in splendid isolation when a defender slipped going for a deflected through ball and Seeler ran through to score the all important away goal to put the Germans through

I still remember the Referee changing ends at the final whistle in preparation for extra time but the Hibs fans had already left the building

Alan Shearer played his first game for Blackburn against us in a friendly we won 3-2 I think, and I'm sure he did his coaching badges at ER too, or 1 of them anyway. I think Fabio Capello did as well, although somebody would need to confirm that for me.
