if it's English League teams as oppossed to English teams, we played Cardiff.

Was it the day of the Cardiff or the Leeds game when there was loads of bother?

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Queens Park Rangers

[James70]

There was a ridiculous set of fixtures one preseason when both Hibs and Hearts were both playing at home against teams from down south with a "reputation", can't remember off the top of my head which ones though.

Charlton

Is that the one where Benji scored one of the best goals I've seen in my life?

May have been Hibs v Chelsea on the same day as Hearts v Watford. As Watford is my English team I broke the habit of a lifetime and went along to support them.

Derby County, Centenary Friendly before 75/76 season

[BoltonHibee]

Berwick Rangers

Berwick Rangers

Forgot about them.

[Winston Ingram]

Luton Town. A riveting 0-0 draw IIRC

[BoltonHibee]

Nottingham Forest in '66

[DL1960]

Leicester late 70's with Jock Wallace in charge and shower of blue noses in the old enclosure.
Man City? I think also around 78, when we had a preason 4 team tournament. Us, Yams, Coventry and Man City.

[Thecat23]

West Ham, a few years back.

[iwasthere1972]

Recall going to see Hibs v West Ham at ER in July 1998.

1-1 draw IIRC - Hibs scored with a penalty

Berkovic for West Ham iirc?

[killie-hibby]

Sunderland at ER,late 50's or early 60's. Brian Clough was in their team.
Also remember combined Hibs/Hearts select playing in pre season charity games against top English sides.

Was that not Gordon Hunter's testimonial?

Did not the Ginger Dwarf appear for Hibs in the second half?

Holmes Zulus of Sheffield (charity team)
Newcastle Tyne Association
