Did Joe not have the mutton chops (sideburns) and sure he wore white football boots(unusual in those days) Boots came in black or black and white and stylo had a boot which was almost the colour of the hearts top with laces on the side of the boot. Bobby Clark had broke a record of not conceding a goal 6 or 7 games. We put an end to that.
12 games....it was a record at the time...Stanton scored , followed by Joe....Quote:

My other memory of that game is a well known supporter running on to the pitch before the start & kneeling & bowing in front of Joe!! To put Joe's popularity in perspective, over 23k turned up for his return, a few weeks earlier only 5k turned up for our home game against Dundee Utd. As you say, a bona fide superstar.Quote:

Thanks for putting the effort in each day.
My memory of Joe Baker’s debut is Football Focus doing a short film on Bobby Clark’s shut out record something like 19 hours without conceding a goal
Talk about tempting fate King Paddy was to end it on the 64th minute
Bobby Clark’s record stood until Manchester United’s Edwin Van Der Saar broke it in February 2009
Celtic’s Fraser Forster beat the Scottish League record in 2014 until ironically his run was stopped by Aberdeen’s Johnny Hayes

I'm not saying Joe was my hero but I got married on his birthday & got a telegram from him! 😁Quote:

I always thought Chris Woods broke Clark's record, with his run ended by Adrian Sprott for Hamilton in their famous Scottish cup win at Ibrox?Quote:

When you hear guys he managed at Aberdeen mention him, like Harper and Buchan, it is always with great reverence.
You're spot on about the (one way) rivalry between Ned & Joe. We have to remember that when Joe was a toddler, Eddie was serving on the Arctic convoys & Eddie was twice Joe's age when Joe broke into the 1st team. There really was a generational gap, Eddie was symptomatic of the pre war look, flannels, collar & tie while Joe had the Elvis quiff!! I also felt that Eddie regarded friendliness as displaying weakness while Joe went out his way to be friendly & helpful. At the end of the day, both great servants to Hibs though Joe's departure could have been handled much better.Quote:

Eric Stevenson said in his book that Eddie Turnbull was used to being top dog as a player and he wanted to be top dog as a Manager and that he resented Joe Baker and Pat Stanton being idolised by the fansQuote:

You don’t hear any player bad mouthing his abilities as a Coach it is just his man management that is called into question perhaps that was the difference between him and Jock Stein?
Him and Stein could be described as polar opposites. Stein - maybe the best man manager ever, not too hot on tactics. Turnbull was at the cutting edge tactically through the 60's and 70's, but was horrible to his players. No coincidence that Stein appointed Eddie as his assistant when he got the Scotland job, he wanted his tactical nous.Quote:

Stanton a header from a Brownlie cross and Cropley - a tap in when a lob on goal was headed onto the underside of his own crossbar by a Juve defender- gave HIBS the lead then the Italians brought on the ageing grey haired 36 year old striker.
Lightning quick HIBS could not cope he scored one made one for Cuccureddu and added a second

Magical HIBS booked their place in the quarterfinals of the European Cup Winners Cup in magnificent style
Once again Turnbull’s Tornadoes hammered out a warning to all of Europe with a fantastic seven goal rout of Albanian Cup holders FC Besa
Eddie Turnbull had forecast a green and white blitzkreig and once again he was bang on
HIBS teased and tormented and finally tore the heart out of a plucky but completely outclassed Besa side No praise can be too great for this HIBS side as they took all the strain out of a potentially tricky away leg with seven magnificent goals
It was almost an exact repeat of the humiliation of Sporting Lisbon with an extra goal thrown in for good measure
Right from the opening whistle HIBS attacked FC Besa The Albanian goal surviving many narrow escapes before HIBS finally broke their resistance in 11 minutes Alan Gordon crashed a left foot shot which beat Besa keeper Arkaxhiu but hit the crossbar Alex Cropley however was alert to any slip ups and was right on the spot to head home
The HIBS fans went wild and Besa crumpled 90 seconds later when Jimmy O’Rourke grabbed a second from close range when he gratefully accepted an Alan Gordon headed knockdown to fire home
Into the second half and going down the slope HIBS hit them with five goals in 12 wonderful minutes
The Albanians had no answer to the pace power and precision passing of this wonderful HIBS side
The first came when Cropley raced on to a through ball from Stanton he beat two defenders before cutting the ball back for O’Rourke to slam home
Two minutes later Edwards sent Brownlie clear on the right The full back raced deep into the Besa penalty area and slammed HIBS four ahead
Four minutes later HIBS had their place in the quarterfinals assured when Arthur Duncan moved inside tricked his way past two defenders and hammered in a great left foot shot
In the 62nd minute O’Rourke bundled his way through the middle to grab his hat-trick and HIBS’ sixth goal
Three minutes later Duncan scored the best goal of the night when he accepted a Gordon pass and fired home a raging left foot shot from all of 25 yards
Besa who were sporting throughout got a late consolation when Kariqi scored on 67 minutes
New signing Jim McArthur watched this game from the Stand I am sure that he would have been impressed by the performance of his new teammates

After a dull nervous first half in which HIBS’ only chance was when Ray Sharp passed the ball back to goalkeeper Andy Rhodes leaving his goalkeeper one on one with HIBS striker Keith Wright - fortunately for Sharp Rhodes managed to fall on the ball at the feet of the striker-the first half ended all square
Knowing his side had to score first if only to calm the growing nerves amongst the Hibee legions on the terraces and in the pubs and clubs Manager Alex Miller simply calmly reminded his players that they were better than the Pars man for man and as a team and all that they had to do was just relax and take control of the game and their reward would come
HIBS kicked off for the second half shooting towards their own fans and were like a team revitalised HIBS immediately won a corner which ended with Gareth Evans shooting narrowly over the crossbar
In 48 minutes the breakthrough came Michael Weir played a neat one two with Wright and burst into the box only to be fouled by the hapless Sharp who grabbed at Weir’s waist but was unable to bring the HIBS man down That was enough to make Weir mis-kick and topple over and three quarters of the Stadium shouted ‘penalty ‘and Referee Brian McGinlay had no hesitation in pointing to the spot
Tommy McIntyre the coolest man in Hampden stepped up and sent Dunfermline’s ace penalty stopper Andy Rhodes the wrong way from the penalty spot
It was all one way traffic after that but the fans sensed that HIBS really needed to finish Dunfermline off Billy Davies having their first shot on target in the 75th minute
Five minutes from the end Weir and Evans dispossessed Cunnington before Weir played a lovely one touch through ball to Wright who went hurtling through on goal leaving Norrie McCathie and Davie Moyes in his wake before calmly placing the ball beyond the advancing Rhodes
The fans knew it was all over but Brian Hamilton still had time to rattle a post with a 25 yard thunderbolt and Pat McGinlay fired a Graham Mitchell cross just wide

After knocking out both Celtic and Rangers HIBS were really up against it against Alex Ferguson’s all conquering Aberdeen without Captain Gordon Rae
Stevie Cowan brought out an early save from Jim Leighton but after that it was all Aberdeen John Hewitt for Aberdeen sent over the perfect cross for Eric Black to open the scoring after 9 minutes three minutes later he was at it again when he provided another perfect cross for Billy Stark to head the second
HIBS did try to get back into the game but the Dons defence was brilliantly marshalled by Willie Miller
When Eric Black got his second and the Dons’ third the Cup dream was over for another year
Paul Kane did test Jim Leighton late on with a 25 yarder but it was too little too late

Aye.....Aberdeen were a really good team back then. Was my first Hibs final and it was over before we got started.Quote:

Went to a Bar behind the Rangers end before the Aberdeen game full of Sheep and this old Aberdeen fan spotting our HIBS scarves came across to us and said “ Enjoy your day oot boys “
On the way back we asked the Supporters Bus to drop us off at the Chesser Inn
We walked in and Willie Allan said to us “ Sorry boys no colours” George Stewart appeared behind him still wearing his HIBS blazer and said it’s ok Willie
He started talking about the old days with HIBS one of them when Arthur Duncan scored the own goal versus Der Hun he turned to George and said “ Sorry George” George Stewart said he told him not to worry about it but felt like knocking his block off
Another big game on Saturday
GGTTH
What I remember about the Aberdeen LC final was the way the supporters just started singing out Hibs songs at full blast in the last 10 mins. We were well beaten but weren't gonna let it get us down. We did a similar thing at the end of the Celtic SC final in 2013.
We lost the replayed game 4-3. This was the season after I'm pretty sureQuote:

Hibs managed to squeeze past Queens to face Celtic in the quarterfinals despite making this tie more difficult for themselves than it actually was
Hibs took the lead after 10 minutes when Brian Reid failed to cut out an innocuous looking ball into the box the ball fell to Derek Riordan who made no such mistake controlling the ball with his first touch and sticking it past Colin Scott with his second. 12 minutes later HIBS added a second when Garry O’Connor rose between two defenders and headed the ball down into the path of Riordan who selected his spot and gave Scott no chance
HIBS failed to add to their lead but came close on several occasions but were made to sweat on the 90 th minute when Colin Murdock pulled down a Queens player in the box and was sent off for a second bookable offence. Alex Burke duly dispatched the spot kick past Andersson
With the clock ticking down Queens were only able to manage one last almighty stramash in the HIBS box with several having chances that were blocked and thankfully the danger was eventually cleared

The amazing thing about Eddie Turnbull was that he stopped playing football when he left school and had one game as a trialist for a junior club before he signed for Hibs.

In a match played in a downpour this game was a lot closer than the scoreline suggests Munoz gave Valencia the lead after 11 minutes from an offside position Despite HIBS’ protests the goal was allowed to stand HIBS had several chances to equalise but found the Valencia goalkeeper Zamora to be in excellent form Guillot scored a second on 66 minutes Jim Scott and John McNamee hit a bar and a post respectively before Munoz again hammered the final nail in the HIBS coffin on 72 minutes
Hibs received a standing ovation from the Valencia fans and many rave reviews but at the end of the day we were out of Europe for another year

Leading by a goal from Findlay the visitors sat back and relied upon their famous ‘Iron Curtain’ defence to win them the game. For a long time it looked as though this tactic might work as HIBS’ diminutive forwards struggled against the giants in the Rangers defence That was until Jock Govan decided to take matters into his own hands The long legged right back went on a penetrative run deep into the Rangers box reaching the byline he fired across a low hard driven ball for Gordon Smith to force over the line
HIBS would win the League in this season

Bottom club Dundee dropped Scott Bain due to an internal matter and his replacement Elliot Parrish found himself picking the ball out of net after 63 seconds as Martin Boyle was allowed to run unchallenged from just inside his own half before unleashing an unstoppable drive from just inside the 18 yard box
Dundee equalised half way through the first half when Marcus Haber got on the end of a Roarie Deacon cross but Simon Murray sealed the points just after the hour when he volleyed home a superb cross from Anthony Stokes from six yards out

Rangers smelt blood and went for the kill but Younger managed to pull off great saves from Waddell and Paton
Into the second half and Hibernian came out of the traps flying the five interchanging in a superb passing move that ended with Willie Ormond sending over a cross for Lawrie Reilly to head home the equaliser HIBS continued to dominate the game but could not add to their score as they found the Rangers goalkeeper Dawson to be in top form

Yip late subs Sproule and Shiels carved out Shiels’ equaliser and a wicked deflection on a Gazza 25 yard strike took the ball above and beyond McKenzie in the Livvy goal for the winner three minutes later. Cue wild celebrations in three of the four Stands at Almondvale that nightQuote:

After suffering two away defeats to Partick Thistle and Valencia HIBS hoped to get back to winning ways against a Hamilton team that contained ex hibee Johnny Frye and former Hearts legend Andy Bowman
In truth newly promoted Hamilton were out of their depth in the First Division and HIBS ran riot with Eric Stevenson in particular having a great game scoring his first senior hat-trick and Jim Scott and Jimmy O’Rourke each scoring doubles- O’Rourke being denied a hat-trick with the deflection for the own goal. Davy Hogg scored his first goal for the club and Joe Davis scored a goal that wasn’t a penalty
It is HIBS’ record home victory in a League match and matched their away victory versus Airdrieonians in 1959
It was the second time in this season that HIBS had scored eleven as they took eleven goals off Alloa Athletic in the quarter final of the League Cup
It was the first game played in front of the new cowshed at the North end of the Ground

Hibernian 0 v 0 Leeds United (Agg 0-0 Leeds won 5-4 on pens )
What a night of frustration it was for Eddie Turnbull’s men who left the field with their heads bowed and no wonder They had attacked from start to finish but not one stroke of luck did they have Look at this for a catalogue of woes: Five goal line clearances by Leeds One HIBS shot that hit a post One disallowed goal A succession of magnificent saves by two young Leeds goalkeepers
Young Scot John Shaw was a hero in the first half and when he retired injured on came 17 year old Glen Letheren to perform equally well
It was Glen’s first senior match and one he will never forget HIBS won’t forget it either and certainly not poor Pat Stanton As the 36000 crowd held their breath at the end of extra time skipper Pat Stanton came up to take the first penalty and struck the post All the fans knew that was that Cropley Blackley Bremner and Hazel all scored but so did Lorimer F Gray Bates Clark and Billy Bremner whose shot entered the net via the underside of the crossbar
Hibs played skilful football and never stopped attacking Alan Gordon did manage to score with a header and the Referee awarded the goal but after the Leeds players protested and after consulting his linesman the counter was ruled out for offside
Leeds defended brilliantly and no one more so than Scotland Captain Billy Bremner whose sweeper role can only be described as an exercise in studied insolence but brilliant nonetheless
Leeds only had four attacks one of which Ellam had the ball in the net but was ruled out for an infringement on Jim McArthur
You have to feel sorry for HIBS there is nothing more they could have done as Leeds did to HIBS what Inter Milan did to Celtic in the Champions Cup penalty shoot out at Parkhead

I worked with Bobby Robertson's wife for a while and when she found out I was a Hibby she was very proud to tell me her husband was an ex-Hibs player. He was before my time, but whenever he's mentioned here it's never very complementary.
However, just goes to show how short or inglorious a career you may have had, ex-players generally look back on their time with affection.
