One of my early Hero's superb player and he was the player that Liverpool created the mid-field number 5 position, later taken up by Ray Kennedy, leading to a period of dominance in English football by the team in red.Quote:

You're right about Persson.Quote:

A cup final winner from him wasn't it ?Quote:

We had two Norwegians in the 78/79 season - Isak Refvik and Sven Mathieson. For some reason they only played about 10 games between them before they went back to Norway. Cannot remember why they stayed for such a short time, probably some contractual problem.

Home office wouldn't give them work permits. If I remember correctly the SFA didn't help Hibs with the permits application. Surprisingly (not) again if I remember the Hun managed to get one for someone soon after, maybe Robert Pritz?Quote:

They also had Per Bartram who went to Palace but they may have been in 3rd Division South at that time. Hal Stewart was definitely the initiator of the Danish influx.Quote:

MATCH ABANDONED :confused:
Heavy fog descended over Parkhead with only 5 minutes to go
Referee RH Davidson ( Airdrie) had no qualms in cancelling the game immediately
10 minutes later the coast was clear
The replay ended in a 1-1 draw
My abiding memory is of an unknown Hibby giving the V sign to the TV Cameras
Think it was one of Blackley Harper or Bremner ?
Des Bremner gave HIBS the lead with a powerful header from a John Brownlie free kick after 26 minutes Joe Harper increased HIBS’ lead in the second half when he hit a shot off Peter Latchford’s legs and followed up to bury the rebound into the net

Bobby Williamson’s HIBS make it four wins on the bounce and they would make it five thanks to Grant Brebner’s solo strike a week later at Pittodrie
Young striker Garry O’Connor staked a claim for a Scotland return when towards the end of a forgettable first half he controlled a searching pass from Zambernardi 30 yards from goal turned smartly and thundered a right footed shot high into the corner of the Thistle net
His second goal arrived two minutes from the end when he knocked the ball over the head of his marker before volleying home
HIBS scored their second when Mixu Paatelainen barged his way through a crowd of defenders to get on the end of a Craig James cross with nine minutes remaining
Searching for his hat-trick O’Connor found time in the dying minutes to send a fizzer past the post following that up with a stinging drive that hit the post

Hibs would reach the semi final of the Scottish Cup for the first time in their existence and would play the invincible Queens Park at the Holy Ground on the 19th January 1884.
There was a problem in that Queens Park were already committed to play Aston Villa in the FA Cup on the same date in Birmingham and the English team refused to move the date
Father Hannon would not hear of a walkover or have Queens Park quit one of the competitions or split their resources Instead he agreed to play the Scottish Cup game on a mutually acceptable date

Nothing lucky about Hibs avoiding relegation that year due to relegation being scrapped. At the end of the season Hibs WERE NOT in the relegation position. We were push that season but Hibs have NEVER been saved from relegation by league reconstruction.

It was John Blackley with the V sign. Was at game and 10 mins after it was abandoned the fog lifted. I have been at Easter Road a game against Motherwell where the referee played more than 10 mins in fog which was much worse than the fog at Parkhead that day. My father who was a referee was disgusted at the way Davidson handled the situation and also the way the Scottish League handled it.Quote:

Yes it was a well known at the time he also did not like East of Scotland teams especially us. My father heard many stories about him amongst the referee fraternity.It was amazing in these days the number of refs were areas around Glasgow. Bothwell Rutherglen Bishopbriggs etc. Bob Valentine was listed as Dundee although he lived in Broughty Ferry.Quote:
