Another adventure in Europe for Hibernian as they take part in a sporting affair!
Older fans will know that the European Cup Winners Cup was a tournament that involved winners of domestic cup competitions throughout that continent and existed prior to UEFA reorganising European competition and creating the Champions League. Of course the Champions League is somewhat misnamed as it involves clubs that were not Champions of their domestic League and to that end it somewhat mirrors the situation that often arose in the Cup Winners Cup.

Back in 1966 it wasn't just England that made the football headlines. The World Cup had stayed in the UK and there had been a few exciting games during the tournament but for real thrills you had to be at East End Park in the September!
It was mid September 1966 and I was fast approaching my fourteenth birthday but the world was significantly different back then and attendance at Hibs away matches was infrequent. Thankfully, Maude MacFarlane’s assurances that I would be well cared for on the Hawkhill Bus persuaded my Dad to let me make the journey over the Forth to watch Hibs take on Dunfermline at East End Park.

Hibs go into the nerw season as reigning champions and 35,000 turn up for the first home game to see the League Flag unfurled. A fantastic 4-2 win away to main rivals Rangers puts the Hibees in the driving seat whilst at a much less notable venue the Famous Five play together for the first time but the green and whites lose out on another League title on the last day of the season.........
