Was that the one where Fletcher had the ball played in to his feet, back to goal, open his legs and let the ball run underneath through to Benji?

Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland, Charlton...

Sunderland. Cardiff City, I know they aint English but they play in England

***Part/Time Supporter*** · 07-02-2010 01:12 PM

Hartlepool (in a "glamour friendly" before 05/06)

**FraserHFC** · 07-02-2010 01:10 PM

We played Charlton a couple of years ago and they were a Premiership club at the time. Won 3-2 IIRC

***AFKA5814_Hibs*** · 07-02-2010 01:15 PM

Queens Park Rangers

**James70** · 07-02-2010 01:19 PM

Coventry City? I'm sure I remember John Salako playing for them at ER.

Was that not Gordon Hunter's testimonial?

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

Gary McAllister was absolutely brilliant that day and showed what a fantastic player he was. He was getting it tight from the Hibs fans because he was very vocal about the Scotland v Lithuania World Cup qualifier being switched from ER to Parkhead. In hindsight, he was spot on as a full house watched Scotland qualify.

I remember when he got subbed he received a standing ovation from the main stand.

**The_Todd** · 07-02-2010 06:00 PM

Rangers, twice a season.

Yeah, I remember that one too. Was that 96/97 or 98? Pre-season friendly. I think Nii Lamptey might have played (which I wanted to see as he was the first 'superplayer' in Championship Manager...)

Was that late 70s early 80s, I mind loads of sticky buns turned up cos Jock Wallace was the CC manager at the time. There was bother outside the main stand and along ER after the game with the buns.

I believe you're getting mixed up with Leicester City. Kicked off big time outside then the Macs bar. I went down for the second game to Filbert St on a freezing January night to see 2-0 victory.

From a different era but we played Coventry who wore a Chocolate Brown kit in the Skol Trophy around 1980 I would guess

That must be one of the worst strips ever made

**James70** · 07-02-2010 01:10 PM

Charlton Athletic and Blackburn Rovers.

***.Sean.*** · 07-02-2010 01:13 PM

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?

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.

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.
