[QUOTE=BILLYHIBS;6419758]Made his debut 27/11/1982 after signing from Jags for 60k in a 2-3 loss versus Celtic at home
The Swansea game was on 17/2/1983 a 1-0 win at Easter Road
Scotland played Wales at rugby a few days later if I remember correctly. In those days HIBS club had many Welsh visitors as getting tickets for Murrayfield was difficult.
[QUOTE=Bearders;6420505]Quite possibly the Swansea game was a Friday night IIRC weather wasn’t great but the Welsh would be up for the weekendQuote:

One thing I AM sure of was a big punt in to Hibs box and Rough running out and catching the ball with with one hand. I remember my dad turning to me and smiling. He had a deep dislike of Macarthur even before Rollgate.
Jeez I miss the games.
(and I miss my dad)
I remember both the Swansea & Celtic matches mentioned.Quote:

Brilliant thanks!Quote:

Looks as though Roughie is wearing the Welsh goalie’s top from Anfield
I remember Budgie used to wear his own tops as well
Good to see Bobby Smith again and Tommy Burns and Davie Moyes playing for Celtic
I only really saw Bobby Smith in his second spell at ER. He was definitely one of my favourite players.Quote:

Yes please see my earlier post #20 but he also played at Anfield when JJ handled the ball in the box and King Kenny scored the winner pulling off one brilliant save from John ToshackQuote:

Random highlights of Crystal Palace v Wolves at the end, with Budgie in the Wolves goal having a bit of 'mare with one of the goals! Wolves winning 4-3.Quote:
