Peter Cormack

[Hiber-nation]

Sadly passed away. One of my idols as a laddie back in the 60s and went on to have a fantastic career with Liverpool.

RIP Peter.

RIP Peter.

That's sad news for sure. Terrific player from an era of some really top class Scottish footballers. Returned as a player/assistant manager to ER for a spell IIRC. His Liverpool days were a little before my time but I remember him in a Bristol City kit from my Panini sticker albums.

[EVENTUALLY]

What a shame. A great Hibby and a brilliant player whose heading ability was incredible.

Condolences to his family.

RIP Peter.

[Neil4Hibs]

My absolute hero as a boy and I followed his career with Forest and Liverpool, then watched him play for Bristol City regularly in the late 70s. I remember him scoring a couple against Liverpool in a 2-1 win for City when Liverpool were European champions. Very sad news, RIP Peter.

[wandering_hibee]

One of my favourites too when I was a wee boy, met him about 20 years ago in Easter Road and I was just as awe struck then as I was as that wee boy asking for his autograph behind the stand. RIP Peter, thanks for the memories.

[Bishop Hibee]

Very sad. A great talent. 75 goals in 182 games in his first spell at ER. RIP.

[madsen5]

R.I.P. Peter top quality player, condolences to the family, was always a pleasure to watch.

[Wheat Hound]

A clear legend. Before my time as a player recall him as assistant to Alex Miller too.

Also a Liverpool legend.

RIP

[Pagan Hibernia]

Porto, Napoli, title challenges... will we ever see such times again.

RIP Peter

[04Sauzee]

He moved into my street when he came back to Hibs in 1980, his daughter Donna was in my class at school and used to muck about with Peter Junior.

Sad news and condolences to all his family and friends.

[Southernhibee]

I remember when I lived in Dalkeith going to a match there and was totally starstruck with him being near me in a very small crowd. Apparently one of his mates played for Dalkeith. Think all of that area is gone now. Funny how these things stick in your mind from around 60 years ago. RIP Peter you were some player

[Houston7]

Very sad. A great talent. 75 goals in 182 games in his first spell at ER. RIP.

A fantastic player. Condolences to his family & friends.
I recall him scoring a cracking goal on the volley at Easter Road against one of the Spanish 🇪🇸 sides - Real Madrid? Barcelona? One of my greatest memories in 70 years following Hibs - pity my age doesn’t allow me remember which opposition! 🙊

[He's here!]

Very much associated with Hibs' great European nights. My dad says he was a player who could basically do anything with the ball and could have played in any position.

Very sad to hear, one of my favourite players as a young Hibs supporter, wonderful player and a man that Liverpool built a team around with him wearing the number 5 shirt.
Condolences to his family, sad day for Hibs.

RIP Peter. Who could forget that running style and his ability in the air.

[GIBBY NEWTON]

Sadly passed away. One of my idols as a laddie back in the 60s and went on to have a fantastic career with Liverpool.

RIP Peter.
Privileged to see Peter play for Hibs in the 60s one word Unique in every sense of the word. Had a wonderful career showing at Liverpool his ability to play in more than one position.
Through my sister i went along to his house we had a wee blether showed me some of his Memorabilia as a player.
A wonderful person on & off the park,another legend who graced ER may he R.I.P. 💚

[Groathillgrump]

Very sad news.

Rest in peace, Peter.

[marinello59]

A true legend

RIP

[Nutmegged]

Before my time, but Peter Cormack is one of those players who's stories you're brought up on, one of the very best by all accounts, shame he never won anything in a Hibs shirt but from the amount of stories I've heard, he made up for it in good memories.

106 goals from midfield, Hibernian legend.

[J-C]

So sad to hear this today, a great footballer with a great career. RIP.

[CropleyWasGod]

My earliest memories are of my Dad and Granda having a go at him almost every time he played. "Peter Peter Peter!" in an exasperated tone was a constant from my Dad.

Turns out that there was a personal connection, and that the niggling at him was because they knew what he was capable of. As a young guy, though, I found it hard to equate this "huddy" with "the most complete footballer in Britain" as Shankly described him.

It shows how blessed Scotland was with midfielders in the 70s that he only earned a handful of caps.

[BILLYHIBS]

Aw one my heroes growing up supporting Hibs in the sixties

Who can forget that running style on his toes shirt outside his shorts leapt like a salmon with the uncanny ability to hang in the air and a great header of the ball

Fantastic midfielder and passer of the ball

Long hair and pop star good looks the first footballer to have his own fan club IIRC

Deepest sincerest condolences to family and friends

Gone but not forgotten

His memory goes marching on

Not all from midfield. He was also, for us, a galloping right winger, striker and, more than once, goalie before substitute goalies were allowed. Total footballer. He should have been Dutch.

[JimBHibees]

What a career he had. Some player. Think him and Kevin Keegan got on well. Hibernian legend. RIP Peter.

[Irish_Steve]

Sad news indeed.

Growing up in NI, I was a Liverpool fan decades before I was a Hibs fan and Peter was one of my favourites in that Liverpool team.

[ancient hibee]

How sad. One of my all time favourites.Heart of a lion,no cause was ever lost. Only a handful of caps-like many of that time who didn’t play for the old firm.

[leith lynx]

Very sad news, a stylish and classy player, proud to say he played for the Hibs. Rest In Eternal Peace Peter, you will never be forgotten.

[Godsahibby]

Before my time but was raised hearing stories about him from my dad.

Was really lucky a few years ago to be paired with him in one of the Hibs Golf days down at Archerfield. Spent an amazing few hours sharing a buggy hearing some of these stories my old man had raised my on from the man himself.

RIP

[Juice-Terry]

I never really saw him play but I met him at Cropley's book launch. He was such a nice person. Rest in peace Peter! GGTTH!

[Tom Hart RIP]

Such sad news.
Only reason I'm a Hibby as my sister fancied him and used to take me to Easter Road.
Peter was first Hibs player I say score a goal. It was from the half way line against Dunfermline in 1967. I was devastated when he left.
Unbelievable that he only own 9 caps as without doubt he was one of the best players of his or any other generation. He also had the heart of a lion.
Peter suffered from dementia and used to attend the Hibs monthly dementia meetings at Easter Road and take part in Q&As. I met him many times there and he was a gentleman.
Unfortunately you could see him go downhill gradually although he always looked great.
RIP Peter

[Glory Lurker]

Sad to hear this. I was a laddie when he came back and my Dad told me all about how fantastic a player he was. A great player to be associated with our club, that we can all be proud of.

I was at that game when he drove the ball top corner over Bent Martin ( Dunfermline goalie) from the centre circle after Martin had duffed his kick out. Also famous game for Roy Barry own goal. RIP

Loved watching him play, came from a time when Hibs had nothing but local boys playing for them.
RIP Peter

[cabbageandribs1875]

RIP peter

[big-mo]

I can remember interviewing Peter some years ago, I was asking him about his early career. He started at Tynecastle Boys Club and then signed for Hearts Youths. While there he was not very happy because all he wanted to do was play football, he rarely saw a ball, instead they had him doing lots of things around the stadium, he was only 15 at the time.
They asked him to drive the tractor, but he told them he did not know how to. He was then told ‘just do it, it’s not that hard’. He eventually got on the tractor and drove it, he did not know how to steer it, so he ended up driving into a wall, he got off and went home and did not come back, and that is how he ‘crashed out’ of Tynecastle never to return, that is, until he was in a Hibs shirt.

[Bobo]

Peter was a tremendous player, another great Hibee who dearly loved this club. The last few seconds of the attached video shows just how much it meant to him.

My first Hibs game in 1968. Hibs won 3-2 v Falkirk. Peter scored 2. That was it , he was my idol.

[CentreLine]

With my first Hibs strip, in 1966, I thought I was really cool only tucking half my strip in to my shorts. All because Peter Cormack did that and somehow I related that to his being classier than others round about him. He was just class in a quality team that boasted a forward line of Scott, Quinn, Stein, Cormack and Stevenson.

RIP Peter Cormack.

[Tom Hart RIP]

That's right, both first half and at Shed end. I was in the south enclosure next to the dug out. Jimmy O'Rourke was sub and I discovered later that Tiny Wharton who used to wear a blazer was the ref.
I managed to find the programme in a shop and bought it for £1.
Few weeks later he scored again against Naples.

[The Harp]

Very sad to hear of Peter's passing. Peter was a superb player, and one of the most talented players ever to pull on a Hibs shirt. His range of skills, and his will to win, were second to none. Having his own fan club during his time at Hibs says it all about his popularity with the fans. It really was a pleasure to watch him in full flow.

Sincere condolences to Peter's family and friends.

He was at David Kilpatrick and I at Liberton .
I was a goalie and I'm sure he put at least one past me

Class act even then at about 14

[Hibees1973]

Just a bit before my time but any footage I've seen of Cormack he looked a real athlete with real drive and energy.

Would be worth millions nowadays and surprisingly only won 9 caps.

Impressive stats with Hibs and played a full part in a great Liverpool side.

RIP Peter and best wishes to his family.

[GloryGlory]

One of my earliest Hibee heroes. I was gutted when he moved to Nottingham Forest.

RIP Peter. my condolences to all his family and friends.

[brawbob]

Just want to pass on my condolences to Peters family and friends.
He was my first Hibs hero and I was lucky and very chuffed to meet him at his book launch at Easter Road in 2012. He disproved the saying that you should never meet your heroes.

There were a lot fewer international matches back then but the other problem was that (for Scottish-based players at least) Old Firm players tended to get the nod over other clubs. There was also, of course, a wider talent pool to select from with many top English clubs having Scottish players at their heart. It's actually surprising Scotland weren't more successful back then when you look at the calibre of players available.

[Pagan Hibernia]

He played for the two Shankly brothers. Not many can say that.

[hibeerealist]

RIP Peter, enjoyed watching you in the Green & White many times.

A legend that we should all be proud of and condolences to Peter's family & Friends.

[CropleyWasGod]

He played for the two Shankly brothers. Not many can say that.

Struggling to think of any others. Ron Yeats (or was he Dundee United?)

Also played for Jock Stein. Not many who have played for Bill Shankly and Stein.

[Pretty Boy]

I was at an event about Bill Shankly a few years back with a few ex Liverpool players on stage sharing memories. The majority of those in attendance were obviously Liverpool fans. The host noted Peter Cormack was in the audience and gave him a mention and he received a standing ovation. For a club not exactly short on legends I think that is quite a tribute.

I've only seen snippets of him play and heard stories past down but he seems to have been quite the player and a decent man to boot.

You are correct, pretty sure Norman Hunter was sent off in that game as well.

[BILLYHIBS]

Can mind Erich Schaedler’s debut versus Gornik at Easter Road came on as a sub typical Shades 100mph tackle totally mistimed it and wiped out Corky who ended up getting carried off on a stretcher

Peter Cormack was a decent Goalie as well can mind him keeping a clean sheet versus Hearts and throwing lumps of mud at passing Hearts forwards in a yellow goalie top about three sizes too big for him with a big smile on his face

First Hibs team I saw :

Wilson Duncan Davis Stanton Madsen McGraw Scott Quinn Stein Cormack and Stevenson

[gbhibby]

Peter started against Brazil in a friendly in 1966 he was 19 years old. My dad who was at the game said Peter was man of the match and would not have looked out of place in the Brazil side. He is a player who could have played now at a top top club

[heretoday]

My boyhood hero. He had a unique running style - balletic in a way. Needless to say this occasioned some off-colour remarks from opposition fans. But every lad in the playground was copying him.

A real star.

[Tambo]

A bit before my time like some on here, always heard good things from my dad about Peter.

Sad loss.

[IberianHibernian]

Sad news . Condolences to his family .
My first Hibs game was in January 1969 so I was lucky enough to see him at that time and remember it being a huge loss when he left a few years later ( folk rightly have great memories of Tornadoes but team of late 60s / early 70s with Cormack , Marinello , Stanton etc was a fantastic team too ) . Remember him in second spell with us at about time George Best was with us - much slower but with great quality . There were always very strong rumours that he was going to be our manager in the 1980s but for whatever reason it never happened .

[Whelahan 1875]

Peter Cormack was a Hibernian great.

I only saw him playing a few times, as I was too young to see him first time round. I did however get to meet him in my youth, as my Dad and Uncle both knew him and he was a great guy. So friendly and happy to talk about his experiences.

To put this in perspective for the younger Hibees, I think it’s safe to say that he will remain the only Hibs player to score in victories against Porto, Napoli and Real Madrid!

He is also a legend at Anfield which says a lot with the amount of world class players to pass through those gates. Multiple trophy winner. 🏆

RIP Peter. Sunshine on Leith (and Craigentinny)

[Cooshed Kid]

Peter Cormack was my first Hibs' hero, hence my avatar. I only saw him in "live" action once during his prime, as I recall, and it was not his finest hour. He hadn't been available for my first ever Hibs' game in the League Cup against the Pars at East End, to my disappointment and my next game was at ER on Ne'er Day 1970 where he was sent off in an otherwise tedious Nil-Nil with the Hearts. A few weeks later, another sending-off and he was on his way to Forest and I had no hero......until Joe Baker returned. I read somewhere a couple of years or so ago that he was suffering from dementia, like so many players of his generation and earlier. That's such a sad finale.

He truly was a special player. Lots of goals for us, he could play pretty much anywhere and was even an exceptional part-time 'keeper. If he was not the most talented all-rounder who has played for Hibs in my lifetime, I don't know who was. I just wish I had had the opportunity to see more of him in action. The Hibs'TV website used to have highlights of a game at Dens from about 1968 where he played and, if it's still there, you can see his distinctive balls-of-feet, heels-up running style (which reminded me of another legend, the Aussie fast bowler Jeff Thomson).

RIP Peter Barr Cormack, a Hibs' great.

[Baader]

RIP Peter. Before my time but fully aware of his legacy and legend and not just for Hibs. Used to see him a bit around Portobello years ago and remember him being part of the coaching set up.

[heretoday]

I always remember a piece in an old Hibs programme in about 1964 when Hibs were on Inter Cities Fairs Cup duty away from home and Peter was reported to have had dental treatment after breaking a tooth playing with a tennis ball in his hotel room.

That showed dedication, or just youthful enthusiasm!

[Lancs Harp]

RIP Peter, remember him more as a Liverpool player than his time at Hibs if Im honest but he was a very fine player.

Remember reading in the 1968/69 Scottish League Cup Final he was forced to play as a makeshift Centre Forward against Celtic in a 2-6 loss being totally dwarfed by Billy McNeill in his role as loan striker and never got a header or a kick

Hibs were on a roll after defeating Dundee in the Semi at Tiny coming back from 1-0 down to win the game at the death and we fancied our chances against the Champions but a fire at Hampden pushed the final back a few months Colin Stein was sold to Rangers for 100k and his replacement Joe McBride was cup tied

Jeez, I never knew we were 6-0 down before getting a couple back. We took some real doings at Hampden from Celtic during that era despite having so many quality players ourselves. We did put five past them in a Drybrough Cup final tho!

One thing's for sure. Football kits were just great back then. Their best era in my view.
