The final game of a disastrous League Cup campaign and HIBS were booed off the pitch by their fans at full time. The following day Bertie Auld and his Assistants Pat Quinn and John Lambie were relieved of their duties to be replaced by Pat Stanton Jimmy O’Rourke and George Stewart

Q. Bertie Auld was one of only two HIBS Managers to have played for the club and to have won the European Champions Cup. Can you name the second Manager?


1/9/1973 Scottish League Division One Old Match Day 1

Hiberniian 2 v 1 Partick Thistle

Smith
Gordon

Partick Thistle took the lead through Tommy Rae. HIBS equalised when Bobby Smith threw himself at a corner from Alex Edwards to score his first goal for the club. HIBS were unable to breakthrough the Partick Thistle rearguard and especially Alan Rough who was in fine form. Alan Gordon eventually scored a late winner for HIBS

2/9/1964 Summer Cup Final

Aberdeen 1 v 3 Hibernian

Hamilton
Scott
Cormack

After drawing a two legged final 4-4 HIBS lost the toss and had to travel to Pittodrie for this Typhoid outbreak delayed winner takes all 1963/64 replayed Summer Cup Final

Unfortunately the final in Aberdeen took place two days before the Forth Road Bridge opened and once again HIBS and their fans took the long way around having to travel up via Kincardine Bridge

Man Of The Match Willie Hamilton opened the scoring in the opening minutes and even although Ernie Winchester equalised for the Dons mid way through the first half HIBS never really looked in any danger striking the bar on three occasions and Pat Stanton even having the luxury of missing a penalty

At half time the legend that is Jock Stein told his troops just to “keep playing they way you are playing” and without a doubt the cup would be in the bag

With Hamilton pulling the strings in midfield HIBS continued to dominate Peter Cormack sending Jim Scott through for HIBS’ second and Cormack himself adding a third with a speculative shot in a crowded penalty area past an unsighted Aberdeen goalkeeper

Hibs had won their first trophy in 12 years and made the mistake of doing a lap of honour around the pitch where they were booed and pelted with stones from the Aberdeen end.

John Parke made his first appearance in the competition in this game

Surely good times were just around the corner for the Hibees?

Hibs Wilson Fraser Parke Stanton McNamee J Stevenson Cormack Hamilton Scott Martin and E Stevenson

Att: 25000


2/9/1939 Scottish League Division One Old Match Day 5

Hibernian 3 v 5 Albion Rovers

Nutley
McLean
Kean

This match is significant in that it was the last game HIBS played in peacetime before the onset of the Second World War

Willie McCartney’s HIBS went behind to a dubious Beath penalty. Bobby Nutley and James McLean gave HIBS a 2-1 interval lead. Burke equalised for Rovers on 53 minutes before Sammy Kean put HIBS ahead. Rovers once again equalised through Burke and as HIBS chased the winner they were caught by two Rovers counters from Campbell and Deegan

Hibs Kerr Logan Prior Shaw Fraser Birse McInyre McLean Milne Kean and Nutley

Footnote : Bobby Nutley would earn the DFC while serving with the RAF as a gunner

Didn't know Bobby Nutley got the DFC. Of course we tend not to broadcast these things on this side of the city. Another with a war ruined career.

Albion Rovers 0 v 2 Hibernian

McGinlay
Wright


3/9/1991 Scottish League Cup Quarter Final

Ayr United 0 v 2 Hibernian

McGinlay
Wright

Hibs took a huge travelling support down to Ayrshire. The match was to be a tale of two different tactical styles. HIBS with their high tempo passing style and Ayr with their route one tactic of the high ball up to their two tall strikers Ally Graham and Greg Shaw

Hibs were out of the blocks faster and almost took the lead after 8 minutes. Brian Hamilton fed a clever pass to Mark McGraw in midfield who turned to thread a lovely pass through to Michael Weir clean through on goal who was thwarted by Ayr United goalkeeper Cammy Duncan who had read the situation

Ayr responded by lumping the ball up to their two big men but they were superbly marshalled by Tommy McIntyre and Gordon Hunter who would both be superb all night. At the other end Man of the Match Mark McGraw seemed to be everywhere with his tireless running closing down defenders and his dangerous flicks causing all sorts of mayhem in the Ayr defence

After 25 minutes Weir skinned Furphy before threading an intelligent ball out to Keith Wright. His cross was only half dealt with by the Ayr defence as far as Murdo MacLeod who nodded the ball back across the six yard box to the lurking Pat McGinlay who hammered the ball past Duncan from close range

Into the second half and McGraw and Wright ( twice) both missed good chances to increase HIBS’ lead.
Weir bulleted a header off Duncan’s crossbar before Ayr enjoyed 10 minutes of superiority coming close to equalising on a couple of occasions

The Ayrshire men were to rue those misses as with only 15 minutes to go Brian Hamilton sent McGraw racing down the wing the youngsters cross was met by the inrushing Keith Keith Keith Wright and this time he made no mistake hammering the ball past Duncan.

Hibs would face Rangers at Hampden in the semi-final

Hibs:Burridge Miller Mitchell Hunter McIntyre MacLeod Weir Hamilton Wright McGraw and McGinlay

I have another story about that game following on from the Kilmarnock game. Again I borrowed my brother's car, think I told him this time, and piled in another four Alloa Hibbies. Got to the game and as we had comps again from the boys who worked for Alloa brewery we were in the centre stand. As the game went on I don't think we were playing too well and there were two old Ayr utd boys just along from us slagging Hibs off loudly so we could hear. One had just finished saying "if that's your premier League you can keep it" just as we scored the opener. Well I was up and across giving it the GIRFUY action shouting "now that's your ****ing premier League".
Anyway on the way back after our win we were on the motorway heading back towards Glasgow and we were listening to the penalty shoot out between celtic and Airdrie. When Airdrie won we were hanging out the windows, banging in the roof, peeping the horn and shouting like loons. Another great trip on the way to a cup win!! I wish we were all 21 again!!

What a ridiculous circumstance, a 2 legged final going to a replay! Imagine dragging out a cup win over 3 games. I don’t think my liver could hack that.

4/9/1985 Scottish League Cup Quarter Final

Hibernian 4 v 4 Celtic AET ( HIBS won 4-3 on pens)

Cowan
Durie 2
Harris

Bottom of the League Hibernian entertained Celtic in this midweek fixture The HIBS fans were crammed into the Cowshed and the Main Stand as the construction of a roof over the East was underway

Hibs may have been bottom of the League but they were a different proposition in the League Cup with dangerous duo Cowan and Durie sitting as joint top scorers in the competition with 5 goals a piece

HIBS went behind after two minutes when a shot from Mo Johnston struck Ally Brazil on the way in wrong footing Alan Rough. Stevie Cowan headed home a Durie cross to equalise after 30 minutes. Juke Box then put HIBS ahead with a header from an Alan Sneddon cross. Davie Provan equalised for Celtic just before the break.

Substitute Colin Bomber Harris gave HIBS the lead on 58 minutes when he calmly waltzed round Pat Bonnar and rolled the ball into the empty net. HIBS were still congratulating themselves when that man Johnston pulled one back one minute later

Eight minutes into extra time and Roy Aitken went on a ‘mazy’ beating four defenders before shooting low past Alan Rough. Three minutes later Gordon Durie took the game into penalties when his effort was deflected past Bonnar by Danny McGrain

The penalty shoot out took place in front of the packed Cowshed. Iain Munro was first up for HIBS 1-0 Roy Aitken watched as Roughie brilliantly saved his penalty Durie made it 2-0. Roughie saved Peter Grant’s attempt. Gordon Rae misses. Paul McStay makes it 2-1. Mark Fulton scores 3-1 Brian McClair scores 3-2. Ally Brazil steps up to win the tie and fires high and wide over the crossbar. Tommy Burns steps up to take the tie into sudden death. Stevie Cowan steps up and coolly slots home to give HIBS the lead. Irish international Pierce O’Leary steps up to send his effort high and wide over the crossbar to the delight of the HIBS fans massed behind the goal.

Hibs would meet Rangers in a two legged semi final

Normal service was resumed on the Saturday in the League when Celtic ran out 5-0 winners

4/9/1971 Scottish League Division One Old Match Day 1

Hearts 0 v 2 Hibernian

Cropley 84
Hamilton 90

This drab match looked to be going the same way as many derbies about this period a 0-0 until Alex Cropley unleashed a fantastic shot from 25 yards which tore into the net high past Jim Cruikshank five minutes from the end

It must be one of the best goals ever scored by a HIBS player at Tiny.

Johnny Hamilton a late Sub for Eric Stevenson settled it with a goal in the last minute

The result meant that HIBS hadn’t lost a League game at Tynecastle in 8 years and Hearts hadn’t even scored a goal in the last six

This was Eric Stevenson’s last first team start for HIBS

Special mention to Jim Herriot who was outstanding in this game.

4/9/1961 Inter Cities Fairs Cup Round 1 First Leg

Hibernian 3 v 3 Belenenses

Fraser 2
Baird pen

I noticed there was a thread on here about great comebacks but this game must surely be a contender

Hibs faced Belenenses of Portugal who were no mugs having recently disposed of the likes of Barcelona, Stade Reims, Newcastle, St Etienne, Valencia and Seville

If HIBS didn’t know they would be in for a game they knew it after half an hour in as Belenenses had raced into a 0-3 lead with goals from Matateu 2 and Yauca.

Into the second half and roared on by the large HIBS support HIBS responded when John Fraser scored with a header on 47 minutes from an Eric Stevenson cross. Fraser added a second on 53 minutes and HIBS had pulled it back on the hour when Sammy Baird as cheeky as you like from the penalty spot waited on the Portuguese goalkeeper to commit before calmly rolling the ball into the opposite corner

Hibs continued to bombard the Portuguese goal but could not find a winner

Hibs would win the second leg 3-1

Hibs were struggling to adjust to life in the second division.St Bernard’s outfoxed them and were playing fast attractive football. HIBS took an early lead through Burke but turned around at half time 1-3 down.

Harry Brown reduced the leeway into the second half but goalkeeper George Blyth gave away a penalty in the closing stages breaking his leg in the incident and St Bernard’s scoring from the resulting penalty

This was on the same day that Celtic goalkeeper John Thomson was unfortunately tragically killed in an accidental collision with Rangers forward Sam English

Falkirk 1 v 2 Hibernian AET

Latapy 2

Premier League leaders HIBS headed to First Division Falkirk for this midweek League Cup tie

HIBS’ star man Russell Latapy was confined to the bench by Manager Alex McLeish after returning late from international duty

The first half was a boring affair but the game burst into life on 74 minutes when on loan Newcastle striker David McMahon rose to power home a Gareth Hutchison cross with a superb back post header to give the Bairns the lead scoring his third goal in two games

The Falkirk cheers were short lived however when HIBS’ two substitutes combined five minutes later to draw HIBS level.

Latapy collected a pass from Mixu Paatelainen on the edge of the home box and the midfielder drilled a shot just inside Miles Hogarth’s left hand post

The former Hearts stopper then made two point blank stops from Paatelainen as HIBS looked to put the tie to bed

Hogarth’s resistance was broken in 118 minutes when Latapy latched on to Hakim Sar’s pass on the left edge of the penalty box before steadying himself and ramming a left foot shot high into the top left hand corner

As far as attendances are concerned,like most clubs,neither Hibs or Hearts issued figures.The papers always printed round figures and the Fitbastats figures for that era is a figment of their imagination I think.Fans used to talk of turnstile 32 being for Harry Swan’s personal pocket money.

Think a few of the turnstile collectors pocketed a large wedge of cash for themselves.

7/9/1974 Scottish League Division One Old Match Day 2

Hibernian 2 v 1 Hearts

Clunie og
Duncan

Hibs’ first home League match of the season brought newly promoted Hearts to Easter Road. Hearts would not be a soft touch as they had won their League Cup section.

Hibs took an early lead when Bobby Smith’s shot was deflected past Kenny Garland by defender Davie Clunie. HIBS continued to dominate the game and should have doubled their lead just before half time when HIBS were awarded a penalty but Garland saved Joe Harper’s spot kick.

On the hour HIBS increased their lead when Arthur Duncan volleyed home a Joe Harper cross but this lead was reduced when Rab Prentice was tripped in the box by Des Bremner and Donald Ford converted the penalty to give Hearts a glimmer of hope.

This glimmer of hope should have been extinguished when Referee Bobby Davidson awarded HIBS a second penalty but Garland saved Alex Cropley’s spot kick.

'Alan Hansen played for Partick this day'. I don't think that's right, as Alan Hansen didn't make his Partick debut until 1973. I'm assuming it was his older brother, John, who was playing that day.

PS Keep up the good work. These are great :thumbsup:

I stood at the corner flag North East down hill end the ball was booted out of play by a Thistle defender and I grabbed it. Johnny Hamilton came across to me hands outstretched asking for the ball big red face hair soaking

He placed the ball in the corner quarter circle turned to me and said “ I’m f##king knackered! “ and then took the corner kick

I always thought ‘Hammy’ was a good player and the Huns snapped him up

Out of my four years at High School, Hibs and Hearts only played one season in the same league as each other (78-79)

Hibs took an early lead when Bobby Smith’s shot was deflected past Kenny Garland by defender Davie Clunie. HIBS continued to dominate the game and should have doubled their lead just before half time when HIBS were awarded a penalty but Garland saved Joe Harper’s spot kick.

On the hour HIBS increased their lead when Arthur Duncan volleyed home a Joe Harper cross but this lead was reduced when Rab Prentice was tripped in the box by Des Bremner and Donald Ford converted the penalty to give Hearts a glimmer of hope.

This glimmer of hope should have been extinguished when Referee Bobby Davidson awarded HIBS a second penalty but Garland saved Alex Cropley’s spot kick.

Hibs: McArthur Brownlie Schaedler Stanton Spalding Bremner Smith Cropley Harper Gordon and Duncan

8/9/2001 Scottish League SPL Match Day 6

Motherwell 1 v 3 Hibernian

Sauzee 2 ( 1 pen)
Fenwick

For this game Alex McLeish restored his back three of Smith Fenwick and Sauzee.

Hibs played well with great aplomb Franck Sauzee scored a penalty and uncharacteristically missed a second in the first half

At half time in the Changing Room he was raging with himself. He looked every HIBS player in the eye stating that he should not miss a penalty and if HIBS got a free kick outside the box he should take it because the ball it will be going into the top left hand corner.

Sure enough second half HIBS got a free kick outside the box and every HIBS player knew what was coming as he stepped up and curled a superb free kick beautifully into the top corner

Franck should have had a hat-trick that day

8/9/1971 Scottish League Cup Quarter Final First Leg

Falkirk 2 v 0 Hibernian

This game was a major disappointment The HIBS train came off the tracks. I still remember the large crowd of 18500 where young boys had to sit round the track

George Miller scored with a soft penalty and Tom Young scored with a long range howitzer that dropped out of the sky with snow on it

HIBS: Herriot Brownlie Schaedler Stanton Black Blackley Hamilton O’Rourke Hazel Cropley and Auld


8/9/1965 Inter Cities Fairs Cup Round 1 Leg 1

Hibernian 2 v 0 Valencia

Scott
McNamee

HIBS were once again drawn against their arch nemesis Valencia who had eliminated them in 1963 before going on to win the trophy for the second time in a row and reaching the final the season after

It was to be another glorious night under the lights for HIBS with Jim Scott heading home a John Baxter cross after only 5 minutes.

Valencia then parked the bus and their goalkeeper Zamora seemed almost invincible as the Spaniards repelled attack after attack

Hibs were denied at least three blatant penalties in this match and bizarrely the HIBS Captain John Baxter was called into the Referee’s room at half time and told to instruct his players to stop shouting at each other during play a request that was obviously ignored

Big Bad John McNamee headed home a valuable second goal to take to the away leg on the stroke of full time when he bulleted home a Peter Cormack cross from close range

This game gave Bob Shankly the unique record of being the only Manager in the country to have managed a team in the European Cup, Cup Winners Cup, Fair Cities Cup and the Friendship Cup

In an alternative universe Turnbull signed George Stewart and Alan Rough at the start of the 73-74 season and Hibernian blasted there way to a first championship in 22 years. Cropley stayed and became a legendary one team player at Hibs. Gordon and O'Rourke continued as a lethal partnership for several more seasons.

The tactics they played that night has become the norm for a lot of Scottish club's performances. A drab way to approach football. The style get's praised by the Sportsound team regularly too.

Pretty grim few weeks for the Hibs. Between that and the Celtic/Juventus/Celtic week for being the worst let-down in my time supporting Hibs (given it was so long ago, I'll add that my expectations have lessened since.)

There is a report on fitbastats from Atlantahibs said it was his first HIBS game it was a scorcher he sat on a crush barrier in the Cave the whole game and his big brother held onto him so he wouldn’t fall

He had the perfect view of Pat Stanton’s headed goal and Bobby Duncan punching his header off the line

After that he was hooked

After the break Ormond soon made it two and then Johnstone scored the goal of the game. Looking up he saw that his forward colleagues were offside so he ran through on his own holding off three challenges before sliding the ball into the net. Turnbull then missed a penalty but a fourth goal from Johnstone ensured that the return leg would be a formality

Two goal Eddie Turnbull was the hero in HIBS’ victory over German Champions Rot-Weiss Essen.

Turnbull scored two goals and had a hand in a third.

The game was played in heavy rain which turned the pitch into a quagmire but the conditions didn’t worry HIBS. They were always on top and only poor finishing stopped them from piling on the goals Rot-Weiss were rarely seen in attack

Hibs opened the scoring on the 35th minute when Turnbull beat Fritz Herkenrath -the German international goalkeeper -with a low shot. Just before this Herkenrath had knuckled a hard shot from Willie Ormond over the bar

Rot-Weiss had a chance to equalise but outside right Roehrig shot wide. Ten minutes later Turnbull scored with a fine solo effort when he beat several defenders to notch his and Hibs’ second

Turnbull had a hand in HIBS’ third 11 minutes after the interval when he laid the ball on a plate for Lawrie Reilly to score from close range

Willie Ormond added a fourth in the 82nd minute

Gordon Smith added a fifth on the final whistle but this was disallowed the Referee saying he had already blown for full time

Eddie Turnbull became the first British player to score in European competition

Heffernan was excellent that day. But despite his goal, I thought Collins was poor. A sign of things to come (minus the goals).

I think that was the season when I finally realised that we were going down the pan. Murray, Muir and Scott (and Fyfe probably on the bench) instead of the likes of Edwards, Cropley, Gordon & O'Rourke. The Tornadoes would have taken 5 off that lot no probs. Our last home game that season attracted a crowd of only 3,457.

Hibernian 6 v 0 Malmo

Blair
McBride 3
Duncan 2

Malmo were starting to establish a European pedigree as recently as 1968 having beaten AC Milan 2- 1 and were flying in their own domestic league

Hibs of course had a European pedigree of their own and seemed too eager to please their fans only scoring the two goals in a sluggish first half- the first from Jim Blair - his first goal for HIBS -when a Jim Black shot cannoned off Joe McBride in a crowded penalty area and he was handily placed to smash the ball home The second two minutes later when a deflected Arthur Duncan shot fell to Joe McBride on the goal line and he doesn’t miss those

The second half was only minutes old when McBride was upended in the box - play on -Cropley went close with an effort and Duncan knocked one just wide

Hibs then scored three goals in 5 minutes the first a Joe McBride header from a Duncan cross to make him HIBS’ all time record scorer in Europe. McBride completed his hat-trick when in typical style he wheeled on the edge of the box and sent a thundering shot past the bewildered goalkeeper Four minutes later Duncan rose to a McBride cross and headed the ball away from the Swedish keeper. Duncan added a sixth 15 minutes from the end when he smashed home a right foot shot

Hibs blew Malmo away with a display of devastating exciting attacking football and it is worth noting that up until this point Joe McBride had scored 59 goals in 85 appearances - no wonder he was such a hero to the HIBS fans who had forgotten all about Colin Stein

Hibernian 2 v 1 Rangers

Killen 2

Chris Killen gave HIBS the lead when his fine header from a Michael Stewart free kick looped over Alan McGregor and landed in the net. Killen then had McGregor stretching at another headed attempt and Rob Jones could only stab the rebound wide of the post

The match was getting heated and Rangers were under severe pressure. Karl Svensson booted one off the line and Steven Smith, Barry Ferguson and Phil Bardsley were all added to the Referee’s wee black book

Rangers pulled one back in 64 minutes when Sebo scored his first Rangers goal with a powerful header from a Chris Burke cross but Killen punished Rangers again when unmarked his bullet header flew past McGregor from a Steven Whittaker cross

To cap his afternoon Killen, who had been booked for removing his top at the goal celebration received a second Booking from John Underhill after getting involved in a scuffle with Rodrigeuz

Bardsley was also dismissed near the end for a second Booking for dissent at a corner

17/9/1975 UEFA Cup Round 1 Leg 1

Hibernian 1 v 0 Liverpool

Harper

Hibs totally dominated this match played in monsoon conditions

Hibs took the lead on 19 minutes when Iain Munro collected a short throw from Jim McArthur. The HIBS midfield man looked for a way to send the speedy Arthur Duncan flying down the left flank. He struck his pass perfectly although HIBS did get a break when the ball skidded off the sodden turf under the foot of Phil Neal. Dangerman Duncan was on to it in a flash he hit the ball hard and low across goal and there was Joe Harper racing in at the far post to give English international goalkeeper Ray Clemence no chance.

That was the end of the scoring although Liverpool had a goal chalked off in the 57th minute

Liverpool stepped up the ante in the second half though HIBS were always dangerous on the counterattack indeed John Brownlie should have increased HIBS’ lead from the penalty spot when Arthur Duncan was hauled down in the Liverpool box by Lawler and Neal during one such attack but Clemence made a brilliant save diving to his right

Dunfermline 5 v 6 Hibernian

McGraw 2
Scott 2
Cormack
Stevenson

HIBS had defeated Hearts 3-1 at Easter Road and confidently ventured across the Forth to face Dunfermline. HIBS raced into an early lead and indeed were leading 4-0 with only 20 minutes to go thanks to goals from Cormack Scott Stevenson and McGraw.

The home side managed to pull one back and there still seemed to be no cause for alarm when Delaney pulled back a second. Alarm bells started to ring when Dunfermline scored a third but McGraw underlined our superiority when he scored a fifth. Robertson scored a fourth for Dunfermline and that man Sir Alex Ferguson equalised to send the Dunfermline fans into raptures of delight

Dunfermline appeared to have scored again but John McNamee cleared the ball from under the crossbar- many thought the ball had crossed the line-the ball was swept up the wing to McGraw with the Referee about to blow for full time- McGraw was fouled but took a quickly taken free kick to Jim Scott in the box- his first shot was saved by the goalkeeper but his follow up attempt just trickled over the line to the delight of all the Hibees massed behind the Dunfermline goal

What a good player Killen was for us in his short time with us ...another who slipped away across the M8 without getting too much game time. Will have made good money in his career, but not played as many games as he would have liked .

Someone question on another thread on Stephen McGinn, whether 350 first team games was much to shout about for a 31 year old ..It looks like Killen ended his career with less than 160 first team games played . Shame.

Ps. Always felt a bit aggrieved that he convalesced a big injury with us, then when fit popped off to Celtic ..that’s football I guess ...
