A penalty goal by Eddie Turnbull twenty minutes from the end ended all doubts about HIBS’ entry into the semifinals of the European Champions Cup.
Willie Ormond was on his way up through the middle when he was unceremoniously brought down by Edlund and Ollson
Hibs should have won this game more convincingly but brilliant goalkeeping by Arvidsson kept them out pulling off fantastic saves from a Turnbull header at the base of the post, Mulkerrin, Smith and Bobby Combe with a net bound daisy cutter sneaking in at the post that the keeper held at full stretch.
Gordon Smith thumped the Swedish post when he anticipated a Combe back heeler Arvidsson then tipped a brilliant net bound Mulkerrin header over the crossbar
Just before the winning goal Combe through on goal brilliantly lobbed the goalkeeper only to see Edlund head the ball away from underneath the crossbar
Such was the pace and power of HIBS’ display- there was not a failure in their ranks - that many observers fancied them to bring the inaugural trophy back to Scotland

Stein 77
Hibs have known European triumphs but never one quite like this
Hibs had to win by three clear goals and concede none to knock the Italian League leaders out of the Fairs Cup.
In five minutes the fuse that lit this explosive tie was lit when fullback Bobby Duncan carried the ball forward into midfield and from 25 yards took everyone by surprise when he unleashed a thundering left foot shot that flashed past Italian international goalkeeper Dino Zoff in the Naples goal high into the net
Peter Cormack was then pulled down inside the box but the Referee only awarded an indirect free kick that was cleared
Pat Stanton then had a header from a Pat Quinn freekick brilliantly saved by Zoff
Alan McGraw then joined in the action with a powerful shot that was deflected past the post before Colin Stein had a shot cleared off the line by Bianchi
Naples were turning physical and in fairness to the Referee this did not go unnoticed as they continued to rack up fouls ( 23 in the first half).
With the pressure mounting on the Italian goal HIBS made the breakthrough their play deserved just before half-time. Stein made it by his sheer determination in carrying the ball almost to the Naples by-line and then cutting it across goal Zoff fumbled and Quinn racing in hit a hard low shot into the net off the upright
At half-time Napoli sacrificed an attacker for a defender but it was too little too late as HIBS now had their tails up
In the second half as HIBS kicked down the slope it was attack after attack
In 67 minutes Easter Road went radge Stein won a corner Alex Scott swung it well away from Zoff and Peter Cormack rose in the box jumping at least a foot higher than everyone else to send a header beyond the goalkeeper
Two minutes later the fans were singing “Easy Easy” as Pat Stanton headed home number four at the back post courtesy of another splendid Scott cross
Zoff then dropped on a header from Stein before Girardo was sent off for kicking out at Eric Stevenson when they were both lying on the ground in front of the Stand
In 79 minutes a Napoli clearance was intercepted and Stein was sent through on goal to complete the scoring

Heady stuff.
I remember a 3-3 draw with Morton I think. Cappielow, last game of the season beautiful sunshine.
Actually may have been first game if the season
Actually maybe I'm making that up and getting all mixed up
In the 70s and 80s. If ever we went to Morton it always seemed to be pouring rain ...I recall a late 70s midweek game - possibly one of the coldest and wettest I’ve experienced...
It was early season and we had a 3-3 at East End a week or so before?. Think wee Mickey left not long after and the entertainment dried up again for a while.Quote:

An unbelievable state of affairs, given where they had been only a few years earlier.
History shows that Turnbull made some awful decisions from 1976 onwards. The Hibs owner lost the faith he had in him.

George Best’s much awaited home debut that attracted an unprecedented 20622 fans to witness relegation haunted HIBS’ fight for Premier League survival against Bertie Auld’s highly defensive Partick Thistle
The game itself was not one for the purists HIBS took the lead thanks to the promptings of Best to record their first victory in 14 weeks when Ralph Callachan was tripped inside the box and Ally MacLeod duly converted the penalty Hibs increased their lead when an Ally MacLeod shot was deflected past Alan Rough by Brian Whittaker
Hibs were cheered off the pitch at half-time. George had been in fine form showing delightful touches on the ball testing Thistle goalkeeper Rough with a long range free-kick and one 50 yard pass to Tony Higgins can only be described as top drawer
In the second half Thistle came out of their defensive shell and really stepped up the pressure Jim McArthur saved a penalty from McAdam Alex O’Hara pulled a goal back with 19 minutes still to go and the genuine HIBS fans in the large crowd started to bite their finger nails
A masterclass performance by HIBS’ Player of the Year Jackie McNamara kept the Jags at bay as he superbly marshalled the defence and HIBS managed to hold out to claim the valuable two points

You've got a good general feel for the relationship but Tom Hart kept faith in ET probably longer than he should have. When he realised Eddie needed to go, TH made him an extremely generous & far sighted offer. Eddie took the offer as an insult & rejected it which eventually left TH no option but to sack him.Quote:

Special mention to McCartney’s Babes in this game
Willie McCartney was starting to mould a fine young team that would be the precursor to the famous five and many other fine players
Hibs found themselves down 2-4 early in the second half struggling and James McLean had to leave the field through injury leaving HIBS down to 10 men
This was to act as the catalyst for a fight back as Arthur Milne added a double to Willie Rice’s earlier goal direct from a free kick and a goal from Tommy McIntyre to level the score at 4-4
Sadly their efforts were not to yield the point they so richly deserved as Murphy of Celtic scored past Jimmy Kerr in the last minute
Murphy looked to be blatantly offside the Referee hesitated consulted his linesman and awarded the goal amid sincere Hibernian protests, to the amazement of the gathered press and to the great joy of the Celtic supporters

After the half hour Alex Edwards - tongue firmly in cheek- threads a pass through the St Johnstone defence releasing Jimmy O’Rourke down the right wing Jimmy hits the byline and cuts the ball back to John Hazel for a tap in
Into the second half and Mickey appears out on the left wing receives a quick throw in from Hazel and nips inside the box to curl a worldy past the Saints keeper into his top left hand corner from a tight angle

Enjoyed the clip v Raith Rovers. Michael O’Neill showing how to take a ball from defence to attack before providing a lovely cross for Keith. Shame he missed a golden chance on his right foot near the end though. Billy Findlay, Hibs had high hoped for him, but he never really fulfilled them. Some other great players on show. Graeme Mitchell, a silky defender. Maybe just lacked a bit pace, but I always liked his style. Jacksona too, he was great for Hibs, played his best football here, no doubt about that.

Billy Findlay was a major disappointment especially after signing an unprecedented at the time 5 year deal but took his goal well in the clip

HIBS took on Polish cracks Gornik at Easter Road due to a gap in the fixture list
Gornik were a decent side they were top of their League and had defeated Rangers 3-1 at Ibrox day’s earlier
Their side included future Polish World Cup stars Lubanski, Olek and Gorgon
The game is probably best remembered for Erich Schaedler making his debut as a half-time sub for Johnny Hamilton clattering into midfield general Peter Cormack with a typically robust high octane tackle at 100mph resulting in the #10 being carried off on a stretcher
This incident happened within minutes of Schaedler coming on and Cormack escaped with a badly bruised leg
Erich Schaedler (Shades) went on to become a Hibernian legend spending two spells at the club playing 434 games scoring 5 goals winning a Scottish League Cup being capped by Scotland and only being sent off the once

Thornliebank 1 v 2 Hibernian
Hibernian won this game in Pollockshaws but the home team put in a protest on the grounds that they had scored a perfectly good goal that the Referee had deemed to be offside
The SFA upheld their appeal and a replay was ordered
Hibernian were furious because they had previously lost an appeal themselves being told at the time that the Referee’s decision is always final
There was a bitter feeling that the SFA’s decision had been motivated by anti-Irish prejudice but Father Hannan calmed things down and told his players to prepare for the replay
The match was replayed on 8th December near Lady Road and the game finished 2-2
The SFA had previously ruled that in the event of a draw both teams would progress to the next round

League Cup final 1972. Coming so soon after that horrible Scottish Cup final..... what a victory for the Hibees. So fitting that it was KIng Paddy and Jimmy O'Rourke who got the goals that made the difference
I remember listening on the radio to it and the house going mental at the final whistle. My auld ma ( she was some woman) ended up in the North British hotel that night and returned home with Pat Stanton 's signature in large felt tip right down her arm.
That was a golden period of football for me. Games v Sporting Lisbon, Fc Besa, the cup final and then the Ayr Utd 8-1 game. All leading us to the greatest game in history. I was only a laddie, but those days are etched on my Hibernian consciousness forever.
I was at the game, taken there by my celtic supporting uncle along with his son, also a big celtic fan. When he dropped me back at my house and my parents asked how I'd behaved he explained that they were lucky i hadn't been kicked out the car on the way back because I had gone on and on about how great Hibs had been and in particular about Jimmy O'Rourkes goal.

'before the winner came from an unlikely source when Graham Mitchell headed home a Joe Tortolano corner'
Remember this very well as there was a guy who used to stand near us on the East Terracing that none of my lot really liked as he used to shout utter nonsense regularly (he was a real ar*ehole). This time, he decided that Mitchell was to be the player that he would berate, constantly, throughout the game. Well, when Mitchell scored the winner every one of us made of point of celebrating in his direction and IIRC he was very rarely, if ever, heard from again!
You just knew Durie would go on to greater things. I remember my mate saying how great Cowan was and I told him to wait and see how great he was when Durie was sold. Top scorer one season and not very many the next.Quote:

One for the long list of boring tedious matches
Partick Thistle thought they had cancelled us out indeed they had right up until the final minute when the Referee awarded us the softest of soft penalties at the downhill end
Darren Jackson wasted no time in slamming the award high past Craig Nelson on a freeezing miserable day
John Lambie interviewed after the game was short and to the point “ We wuz robbed!”

1-0 up from the first leg HIBS failed to heed the warning when Van Der Linden raced clear of the HIBS defenders who waited on the offside flag but it did not come the Dutch forward drew Ronnie Simpson but to the relief of the poor 5000 crowd he fired past the upright
The Dutch were not to be so profligate with their next raid when they squared the tie on the night.
In 23 minutes Van Der Linden sent over a cross and Geurtsen met it full on with his head to divert it past Simpson
Hibs equalised within two minutes with a brilliant goal. Gerry Baker tamed a pass from Scott slipped it ahead of Westphaal and slammed a wonderful shot from a narrow angle past Van Zoghel
Hibs took the lead on the night and went two goals up on aggregate two minutes into the second half when the ball broke to Morris Stevenson from a Jim Scott corner and he hammered the ball through a forest of legs into the net
The Dutch when they realised the tie was slipping away from them resorted to roughhouse tactics in particular their giant of a centre half Dacserv who played the role of pantomime villain
This game is best remembered for being the debut game of club legend Jimmy O’Rourke who the press described as ‘being the victim of some rough challenges but nothing the Dutch could do could hide the promise of this sturdy youngster He looks to have the lot, sturdy build, speed, brains and abounding confidence’
Jimmy twice went close once with a header that just cleared the crossbar and one shot that whizzed past the post
Jimmy would go on to play for Hibernian for 12 years scoring 122 goals in 325 appearances
