sad sad news indeed if true.... Maude was a legend!!

RIP Maude

[blackpoolhibs]

Sad news, another great Hibby passes away.

[franks]

I knew Maude quite well and although she could be a pain at times I always got on with her quite well and had the utmost respect for her.

She was a great Hibbie and ran the Hawkhill branch bus with an iron fist for decades. Even those who fell out with her held her in high esteem she was a real character and will be sadly missed.

RIP Maude a real Hibbie

[zelda]

Remember Maude well
RIP Maude

[monktonharp]

that is very sad news. was just asking if anyone had seen her a few days ago. R.I.P Maude.

[Keith_M]

I only ever travelled on the Hawkhill branch a couple of times and didn't know Maude personally but she was always a bit of a legend among the support, especially those who travelled regularly to away games.


I'm sure she'll be sadly missed. Commiserations to all friends and family. RIP Maude.

[AK86]

She was a friend of my Granny, so i knew her from a very young age
Quite a character!, not to be messed with.
An absolute true Hibee. Not many like her.
RIP, she will be missed

Sad news, a genuinely legendary Hibs fan, there must be so many of us with a story to tell about Maude!

[Jumbo]

She was a Hibs legend, will never forget her saying everyweek on the hawkhill bus "get your scarfs down this is a rough area".

Never too keen on toilet stops either.

[Riordans Boots]

Sorry to hear this. God Bless her.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

An absoulte legend who kept meticulous records as well, I was quite freindly with Maud many years ago and she said to me one night "I remember you when the Hibs club was at Carlton Terrace" and the next week she brought in a book of new members for the year 1962 and right enough there was my name.

A wonderful Hibs fan, true and loyal

RIP hen

[RIP]

Really sorry to hear that

Me and my siblings used to get picked up at the Drum Brae by Hawkhill in the period 74 to 77. Was it the Hawkhill bus that used to carry the legendary 'Yoey'?

Folk who run buses derseve medals, none more so a lady of a certain age having to put up with kids like us

Alan, Bobby now Maude - what a week!

My mum's prediction that I would one day reach an age where I'd start reading the funeral notices in the EEN is fast coming true

RIP Maude

[MussyHibby]

Didn't know her personally, but saw her many times and heard more of her behaviour even more.

Very very much a Hibby! R.I.P Maude

[woodythehibee]

very sad news!

Maude was a die hard hibby and a lovely woman

RIP and let's hope the hibby's can lift the Scottish for you!

[H18sry]

RIP Maud, another sad loss to the Hibernian family

[offshorehibby]

Sad, sad loss, new her well from the Hibs club years ago. RIP

[spudhib]

Sad news indeed,knew Maude for nearly 30 years,RIP.

[BigKev]

RIP Maude.

My first away trips were on the Hawkhill bus and I had to sell the pontoon tickets to cover my fare.

Will be sadly missed by many.

From 1968 I was one of the school kids who followed Hibs all over the country on Mrs Mac's Hawkhill bus. She took wonderful care of us and I can honestly say that during that volatile time, I can't remember any one of us ever getting in to trouble or hurt.

A special memory was the 1970 Xmas trip to Liverpool, we may have got beaten 2-0, but spending the night in their supporters club afterwards was quite special, especially for a 14 year old like me and with the Liverpool fans starting our new chant H-I-B-E-R-N-I-A-N.

Maude, absolute legend, R.I.P & we know you'll never be far away from Easter Road. Condolences to family and friends.

[Jamesie]

RIP Maude, only met her a few times but a real character.

We've not lost so many in a week or so before, they say it comes in threes, I hope we're not grieving the loss of another great Hibby for a long time.

[andudare2]

R.I.P to a great hibby:notworthy:

[Risboro Hibby]

I was another one of Maude's boys on her bus in the early seventies.

Only reason my Ma would let me travel to all of the away games was she knew her laddie was in safe hands on her bus. If I didnt manage to sell my number of bingo tickets my Ma would always buy up the rest so I could go.

Always remember the year if we sold them througout the close season we got a day at the seaside with a fish tea in a restaurant. Our trip was to Ayr and can still remember Maude keeping all us boisterous lads under control and trying to encourage us to have table manners.

Another true Hibby passing away without seeing a Scottish cup win Was on her bus for both the 6 1 defeat by Smeltic and then the league cup win. That was a great day.

RIP Maude and Thanks again for running the Hawkhill bus for some many years and giving me such wonderful memories

[Hibbyradge]

I travelled with Hawkhill from the early 70's into the 80's.

Maude used to work hard at keeping us young laddies under control and we quite often argued, but when my mother died, Maude attended the funeral although they had never met.

I'll always respect her for that and I certainly want to pay my respects.

RIP Maude.

[I'm_cabbaged]

Can remember a couple of weeks after getting a bit of a doin in Hamilton Maude approached me in the Hibs club. Knowing that I was going to be off work for a wee while she'd raffled a couple of bottles the night before and gave the equivalent of a couple of weeks wages to help see me through.

God bless you Maude, RIP.

[Ravelston Hibby]

Very sad news.

Maude knew my parents well, and as everyone knows she was a legendary Hibby.

Condolences to her family and friends.

[Stantons Angel]

It is with much sadness that i pass on the news of Maude's passing today. A great great HIBBY known by all and everyone.

There must be hundreds of Hibs supporters who have been to many games on maude's bus.

At this time i cant think of any words to describe her, she left her own imprint on many lives and will never be forgotten by the Hibernian family.

God bless you Maude and thanks for the many memories you have left behind.
love you.

THE MAUDETTES

[hard as 19]

I lived next door to Maude for many years when i was younger, my parents still do. She arranged for me to be a mascot at a Hibs v's Celtic game when i was younger.

A true Hibby.
