That game in Perth in 2019 was just amazing.

After watching soul destroying displays by Hibs, and then to see them play so creatively and seemingly without a care in the world was just a shock.

At the time, it made me really wish Eddie May was appointed Head Coach




My one regret is that I lost a Bridie when we scored the third goal. I've still not got over that :-(

The ballboys at the Rangers end were decked out in Rangers tracksuits this was after the ballboys at the last home match versus Hearts were pelted with missiles

Jackie McNamara had to come off early as Stewart Munro appeared to accidentally stand on his right leg and was replaced by Willie Jamieson

Hibs opened the scoring on 27 minutes with a flying Ralph Callachan header from a deep Alan Sneddon cross Rangers equalised against the run of play from a suspiciously offside position through Cammy Fraser

18 minutes into the second half Brian Rice threaded through a beautiful pass for Willie Irvine to run onto and calmly slot the ball underneath the diving Girvan Lighthouse and into the Rangers net

As a 13yo I remember Johnny Graham's debut, great interest back then as signing players was such a rarity and especially when playing after just signing that afternoon. I remember getting home after the game and my Jambo supporting [late] dad asking how the new player got on and I told him that he was constantly on the move and would shoot every chance he got, with a two goal debut and joining a forward line that included Marinello, McBride, Cormack & Stevenson, our new signing settled in well and was soon rewarded with a Scottish League cap.

IIRC in his first interview after joining Hibs, he explained that whilst playing for Falkirk he grew a beard so as to stand out from his team mates! Seems it worked but I guess nowadays you'd have to shave your beard off to stand out :greengrin

Hibernian 3 v 1 Lokomotive Leipzig

McBride 3

The HIBS fans got their first glimpse of striker Joe McBride the man brought in to replace Colin Stein and what a home debut he had with a first half hat-trick that had the HIBS fans asking at half-time Colin who?

Shooting up the slope Joe McBride was on target after only three minutes when German Goalkeeper Neuert dropped a Jimmy O’Rourke cross at his feet for an easy tap in

In the 14th minute just after Pat Stanton had cleared a shot off the line HIBS went two up. Alex Scott chased a throw in from O’Rourke held off a tackle from Geissner crossed hard and there was McBride flying in to bullet home a header

McBride scored his third on half-time taking a Stevenson pass first time with his left foot and the despairing goalkeeper could only help the ball into the net

Into the second half and with the advantage of the slope and a strong wind HIBS were unable to add to their total indeed with 20 minutes to go Naumann took advantage of a mixup in the HIBS defence to grab a valuable away goal. Minutes later Alex Scott was cynically hacked down by two defenders and when he retaliated he was immediately sent off by the Swiss Referee

With 5 minutes to go 10 man HIBS were robbed of an obvious penalty when O’Rourke was hacked down inside the box but the Referee ignored all appeals

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WiSHES TO JIM ‘CILLA’ BLACK

234 Appearances one goal and no bookings some record for a Centre Half

Played every game in that fantastic season 1972/73 58 in all

My overriding memory of Jim is watching him on Sportsnight With Coleman versus Leeds United away in 1973 the first time they had seen the overlapping Centre Half as he cut through the centre of a very good Leeds United team like a knife through butter

Many Happy Returns

Another great game, that Leeds team went through to near the end of February before they got beat during that season, creating a new English record. Hibs absolutely hammered them in the most one sided 0-0 draw I've ever seen. I had moved to Greater Manchester around three months earlier and my then boss, Jim, said the following morning, after he watched the highlights, was amazed how Hibs, particularly Alex Cropley & Tony Higgins, time and time again tore the then invincible Leeds apart, he said he knew now why I was always going on about Hibs.

my first ever conversation with Jim, Jim, do you like football? Me, is the Pope a catholic? Jim, What did you think of the Scotland v Northern Ireland game in May? Me, I was there, it was all Scotland but we couldn't convert the chances, Jim, what was Trevor Anderson like? Me, although he got the winner, he did nothing else, he was a forward and it was all Scotland, Jim, that's my brother!

Glad to say we got on really well following that conversation, his brother played for Man U and he used to take me to the games and we used to get in via the players entrance, but they were never anywhere near as good as the team I had left behind in Edinburgh.

Jim Jeffries’ Falkirk visited Easter Road on a freezing afternoon on League business. Gary Lennox gave the Bairns the lead with a looping effort after 12 minutes. Joe Tortolano equalised for the Hibees just one minute later to cries of ‘Joe Joe Super Joe’ from the terraces. Falkirk had a string of chances to score before the interval but a combination of their own inept finishing and splendid goalkeeping from John Burridge kept them out

HIBS improved after the break but Falkirk kept coming forward. Burridge denying the Bairns with more great saves then Gareth Evans scored with a header on 67 minutes. Substitute Brian Hamilton put the icing on the cake with a goal in the last minute

Hibs travelled to Perth to face St Johnstone who were undefeated so far at Muirton Park

The pitch enjoyed the reputation as being the biggest in Scotland and Hibs employed Alex Cropley and Arthur Duncan on either wing to take advantage of the extra space

The tactic worked as Arthur layed on the ball for Joe McBride to score the only goal of the game his fifth League goal of the season

Great wee player

Was a hard working precision passer of the ball with a lethal shot and a deadly penalty kick

Strangely enough never played in a winning HIBS team

I remember him as being pants actually. Great for the toon back in the 70s, rubbish for us.

One game, a four nil defeat at Cappielow, sticks in the mind. Craig was rotten.

IIRC he was more a Coach than a player helping out John Blackley

Yes he was well past his best but he still had the touches and I am sure Messrs Durie Rice Kane and Hunter benefited from his knowledge and experience

JC certainly had a lot of time for him

As I said never won a game with HIBS drew 4 lost 7

15/11/1978 Scottish League Cup Quarter Final Leg 2

Hibernian 2 v 0 Morton (Agg 2-1 )

Refvik 2

Morton arrived in confident mood for the second leg of this League Cup quarter final after the enigma that was Andy Ritchie had scored a hat-trick against league leaders Dundee United the previous Saturday. This talented Morton side also included Bobby Russell and Neil Orr

Hibs had their own joker up their sleeve though as they were given the go ahead to play Norwegian Internationals Sven Mathisen and Isaak Refvik who were still awaiting Work Permits

Mathisen’s promptings from midfield were a joy to behold while Refvik stole the show with two goals that took HIBS into the semifinals Both goals were set up for Refvik by Ralph Callachan the first from a free kick the second from a superb run and cross

There was a late scare however when Morton were awarded a late penalty kick and the normally reliable Andy Ritchie uncharacteristically blasted the ball over the crossbar

1978 Hibs finally get clearance to unleash their two Norwegian signings Isaak Refvik and Sven Mathisen in a Scottish League Cup quarter final second leg tie at Easter Road against a very good Morton side and it pays off as HIBS triumph 2-0 to reach the Semi Final

The Flyer would earn 6 full international caps for Scotland in this year

1969 Scottish League Division One

Dundee United 0 v 1 Hibernian

https://www.arabarchive.co.uk/matchdetails.php?id=2380

Willie MacFarlane’s HIBS were playing some exciting stuff and were sitting top of the League in this top versus second top encounter at Tannadice

All hell is let loose after seventeen minutes when Peter Marinello gathered the ball in midfield shirt outside the shorts long black hair flying in the wind as he went on a mazy run beating man after man before sending a blistering drive beyond Don Mackay from 18 yards for the only goal of the game

Edit;

Jim Black was missing from the HIBS lineup after being sent off versus Kilmarnock Away 25/10/1969

Pat Stanton reverted back to his favoured position of Centre Back

So much for Jim Black’s reputation of never having been booked ?

1902 Hibs defeat Kilmarnock 2-1 at Easter Road on their way to winning the Scottish First Division Championship

Hibs goalscorers were Bernard Breslin and J Stewart

HIBS lined up with Club Captain Michael Whelahan in goal and a splendid match ensued HIBS went two goals down but fought back in true Hibernian style with a hat-trick from Frank Rourke and two from Tailor Flynn

The press wrote that the cheering of the Hibernian supporters ‘baffles description’

They also commented that the heavy and unnecessary charging of the previous season was nowhere to be seen

This fine victory was followed up with a fourth round victory two weeks later at Powderhall with Hibernian soundly beating Rob Roy from Callendar by nine goals to nil
