On this day in history

1/1/73 - I was on leave from the Army, took a couple of English army mates to the match. One was a Peterborough supporter, the other a Chelsea fanatic. Both were amazed at the pace of the game, how many passes were played so quickly on the ground and the quality of the dribbling football on show.

Years later a jambo pulled Jimmy O'Rourke in a boozer and said !

See THAT game ,Hertz cooda been 2 up in the first 10 minutes "

To which Jimmy replied
" Well .it would have been 7-2 then ! "

Oh Jimmy also said "When we played in South Morocco,i must have been dropped ...again! :greengrin

Older fans will get that one.
Jimmy sometimes being dropped after playing a blinder the previous week!

you’re right, it really should have been ten. Watched the highlights again today, their keeper Kenny Garland played really well and made a couple of really great saves (one from Stanton in particular I have no idea how he kept it out). That sounds ridiculous when he conceded seven but there you go, it’s true.

Watching the full highlights it was like they were trying to set up Mickey Edwards to score :greengrin

We just had a feeling that we were going to do something special that day. They would not open the gates at half time to let the Hearts fans out. The next game at Tynecastle I was standing beside a guy who had a 7 0 banner, the police came into
the crowd and arrested him. They also arrested an older guy next to him who questioned them. A few others who came in with banners with 7 0 on them and were also arrested. The police said it was to avoid crowd trouble,that was their excuse.

HIBS came out the traps flying with Mickey Weir on one wing and Joe McBride on the other causing Hearts all sorts of problems

HIBS took the lead after 10 minutes when Henry Smith might have done better with an angled drive from George McCluskey but he allowed the ball to squirm through his hands and in off the back post

Hearts took the lead with two lobs from distance from John Colquhoun that seemed to deceive Alan Rough as he lost sight of the ball under the lights and the ball flew high past him both times with snow on it

For once HIBS looked as though they wanted to win this derby and they pushed forwards in numbers

HIBS equalised through Mickey Weir who prodded a McCluskey cross over the line shortly after he had squandered an easier chance to score past the post and had another effort booted off the Hearts goal-line

Into the second half and Hearts were seen more as an attacking force. The pace of the game did not give up with no quarter spared but Hearts even although they were the dominant team were unable to beat Alan Rough who pulled off two magnificent saves from John Robertson

Hibernian 1 v 0 East Fife

Gordon 90

The day the music died

Going to this game every hibby had a wee warm glow full of anticipation and expectation after 0-7

Yes East Fife were a dirty spoiling physical team but surely we had enough quality in our individual lockers to overcome them,

The match started with John Love marking Alex Edwards tightly doing everything in his power to stop him playing by fair means or foul

East Fife were using spoiling tactics and it seemed to be working as Referee David Syme seemed to be unable to see through their crude but effective game plan showing leniency toward the away team and ruining the game as a spectacle as it turned into an ill tempered affair

The definitive moment came when John Brownlie set off on a dangerous attack just on the half way line going uphill Alex Edwards on his outside shouted for him to knock the ball down the line he stretched to do so and collided with HIBS supporting left back Ian Printy

There was a loud crack and everyone inside the ground knew it was a bad one John Brownlie was stretchered off with a broken tib and fib

Brownlie was replaced by Johnny Hamilton and the game continued in the same vein with HIBS pressing forward trying to play football and score goals and East Fife spoiling at every turn

To compound matters Alex Edwards rose to the bait as he always did and got booked for throwing the ball away taking him over the disciplinary threshold that would lead to a ten game ban

Alan Gordon would head home a Johnny Hamilton cross in the last minute to win the game

It would be the last game that the Tornadoes would play together

They only played 22 games together winning 18 drawing two and losing two scoring 71 goals and conceding 22

HIBS protested that the ball hit his chest and pointed to the large muddy football imprint on his jersey but the Referee would not be moved.

Colville fired the ‘Vers in front from the spot but Bobby Johnstone duly equalised to loud cheers from the Hibernian faithful

Gordon Smith added another two into the second half thanks to fine crosses from Willie Allan

Third bottom HIBS played high flying top club Rangers and a slaughter was expected and that was exactly what happened but it was Rangers who were slaughtered in the surprise result of the season that had the whole of Scotland talking. HIBS led 3-0 at half-time

The Hibernian team totally humiliated this Rangers side and there was much joyous celebrations amongst the Hibernian supporters but unsurprisingly the game is also remembered for the crude tackling and the unsportsmanlike behaviour of the defeated Rangers players

Sums Darren McCormack up that game. Hibs just score, right on top, and he hits the guy back and both down to 10. We win easily if he uses his brain and hits the deck.

The disgraceful thing about the Edwards booking against East Fife was that having been kicked up and down by Love with many fouls not given Alex managed to get free from a Love grapple but instead of playing advantage Syme blew for a foul. Edwards,exasperated,picked up the ball to show he’d got it and then threw it down. Booked.

Did Edwards really get a 10 game ban ? In those days I think bans were for a period of time rather than a set number of games.

I think it was against East Fife and he got a yellow card for protesting about being fouled for the umpteenth time. No doubt some Weegie ref worried about how well Hibs were playing and might upset the Uglies monopoly of the league.

Yes, although I too thought it was 8 games and the ban handed down to Pat Stanton was only slightly less severe. I think Pat got 6 games. In the meantime Jimmy Johnston and Alex McDonald, with similar or worse discipline records, were treated less severely that season by our non partisan SFA all IIRC

Eight week ban. Alongside the loss of Brownlie, it pretty much scunnered Hibs' title push.

Pretty sure it was his fourth booking of the season. Of course in those days they took previous seasons into account. Eventually even the SFA realised the system was unfair and moved to number of games for suspensions and laid down sentences instead of making it up as they went along.

On a freezing cold day in which only 4371 bothered to turn up Billy Thomson in the Saints goal was definitely the busier keeper but all HIBS had to show for their efforts was a goal from promising youngster Graeme Harvey

After a fine start to the season HIBS were starting to struggle With no funds available for investment Pat Stanton would have to rely on the youngsters coming through

Stirling Albion decided just to go for it and launched attack after attack putting HIBS under pressure

Fair play to Albion they stuck to their game plan and Guy equalised inside a minute

Just before half-time Reilly put HIBS ahead

Into the second half and Bobby Combe scored with a long range effort that somehow deceived the keeper

Willie Ormond added a fourth and Eddie Turnbull missed another penalty only this time the ball sailed miles over the crossbar

Hibernian 4 v 1 Morton

Cormack 33 35
O’Rourke 51 88

Colin Stein made his debut in this game after scoring 11:12 for the Reserves

Erik Sorensen in the Morton goal had to look lively inside the first five minutes punching a Stevenson corner off Cormack’s head and fisting over a drive from the keen Colin Stein

Morton started to take the initiative and twice former Hibee Morris Stevenson forced Wilson to his knees to make saves with good efforts on target

Morris Stevenson had the best chance of the match to open the scoring when Chic Halliday set him up with a free shot on goal but once again Wilson managed to scramble his attempt clear

Stein once again showed his undoubted potential with a glorious diving header but somehow Sorensen managed to divert the ball from the top corner out for a corner

In the 33rd minute following a defensive mixup Cormack found himself in the clear and managed to sidestep the goalkeeper and tap the ball into the empty net

Two minutes later HIBS were two up Stein tried an overhead kick into the box and Cormack repeated the trick with a wonderful overhead kick that sent the ball flashing high into the roof of the net

Six minutes into the second half after Wilson had saved at the feet of Craig Watson Jimmy O’Rourke increased Hibs’ lead when he fired home through a ruck of players in the box

Alan McGraw almost pulled one back for Morton but his effort just cleared the crossbar

Morton’s pressure finally paid off in fifty five minutes when Smith fired low into Wilson’s net

Jimmy O’Rourke increased HIBS’ lead two minutes from the end

Hibs who hadn’t scored since Boxing Day 1989 rang the changes upfront and there was no starting place for Gareth Evans or Stevie Archibald who left the ground in a taxi shortly before kickoff

Neither side looked to be in the mood in a lacklustre first half but it was left to the ever reliable Pat ‘Goals’ McGinlay -restored to the starting lineup -that got HIBS’ first goal in 1990 when he got on the end of a hopeful cross from the left from strike partner Keith Houchen across the bows of Ally Maxwell to meet it at the back post with a trade mark late run to ram the ball home into the Motherwell pokey

Within 90 seconds of the restart HIBS had gone two in front Collins’ short corner was sent over by Mitchell and Alan Sneddon of all people rose at the near post to propel a powerful header past Maxwell
