Looks like Dave Clarke future East Fife Manager and our very own Bobby Duncan
East Fife were a tough nut to crack back then ultra defensive and man marking the total opposite to their Manager’s Pat Quinn’ s style as a player
Ian Printy was the culprit and totally blameless according to Onion and definitely not Johnny Love as he is always quick to remind me every time I meet him
Took Ian a while to get over that.
Ian was brought up doon the road from us in Clerry.
We all used to go to Clerry YMCA back in the 60s
Across from St Kentigerns chapel in Parkgrove it was ⛪
Ian lived near the primary school. His dad was a good Hibs man tae.
Done some scouting.
That was what I meant about man marking they knew how to push Mickey’s buttons and it cost us big time
Think Mickey was only booked but it pushed him onto mega points with the SFA who loved it
Think they had two on him at all times
Justice was served when Tosh rose like a salmon to head home Arthur’s cross in the last minute
Best header of a ball I have seen at Easter Road
So blame Love for goading Mickey
That 8 week suspension was a disgrace.
Cost us the league title imo
From an interview Onion did with The Scotsman a good few year ago.
"Hibs beat East Fife in the next game after 7-0 but their losses were great.
On top of the leg-break, a booking for Alex Edwards triggered an eight-week suspension.
When asked about the game – and he is – Brownlie still has to correct key details.
Johnny Love didn’t make the tackle – the latter rarely left Edwards’ side in the pair’s recurring feud –
but Ian Printy did and, no, it wasn’t malicious and he doesn’t blame the player.
. He shakes his head. “Ian was a Hibs fan. He came to see me in hospital.”
Brownlie was ten months out, with the troublesome tibula having to be broken and re-set.
