The greatest game in history and every hibby that was there will never forget it
It remains Hearts’ record home league defeat to this day only matched by Celtic in the Scottish Cup in 2013
It was the sort of performance every supporter dreams about
Every HIBS player was at the peak of their game
There was the dashing of the full backs John Brownlie and Erich Schaedler
There was the complete mastery of the midfield : the industry and drive of Pat Stanton the virtuosity of Alex Cropley and complementing them Alex Edwards whose special qualities reminded us how few players can really pass the ball well
On the left the speed of Arthur Duncan was devastating
In the middle the forceful Alan Gordon who won every ball in the air, challenged with determination and embarrassed those who had discarded him and Jimmy O’Rourke who like a hungry dog snapped for any crumbs
Not forgetting Scotland international goalkeeper Jim Herriot and Jim Black and John Blackley at the back who snuffed out and swept up everything Hearts had to offer in attack after an initial flurry when Hearts could easily have scored
On the day that the UK joined the EEC HIBS had to win by six clear goals to overtake Celtic at the top of the Scottish First Division
The green machine just kept going forwards sheer football delight
