I realise that it's on Hibernian TV but not everybody subscribes to it.

Oh and Iwasthere.

Brilliant stuff. Pat brings these guys back to the memory and speaks highly of them all

[Stantons Angel]

Those names just trip of his tongue and bring the memories flooding back.

An honest and down to earth appreciation of his team mate's skills.

He would have described his own contribution as "average" in that team, but thats just the type of man he is. Modest eet MAJESTIC!!

He describes that Cup Final as a "GREAT" game and so it was. It was HIS game that day, he directed everything from our midfield and made the memories that i will always remember.

By the way, I WAS THERE too.!!!!!

So was I.

About the third or fourth Hibs match I attended. Nae wonder I've often had unrealistic expectations since.

You picked a good one Beej

Arguably Pat's best ever game in a Hibs jersey and I for one would take that as true

[Lucius Apuleius]

yet another win that I missed. I was on my first ship. The RMS Windsor Castle, working as a commis waiter in the tourist class saloon (there is nothing lower!!!!). All the platemen were weedgie celtc supporters. Obviously as a newly turned 16 year old they got a bit of a mouthful. Resulted in being tied in a laundry bag with just my head sticking out, being put through the dishwasher and then put in the revolving doors and thrown into the saloon in that state. ********

I was a 6 year old lad , standing on the flat roof of the pub at 302 Leith Walk when the open top bus came passed and got my own trophy view from Pat.

[confused]

62 years of age and when i watch that the tears unashamadley ran down my cheeks, a legend , my all time hero .

Great day. Was a primary school kid and thought it would always be like this. 24 players (only one sub in those days) and both managers were Scots that day.
This year out of 17 players each side listed Celtic had three Scots and Rangers 7.

Times have changed but which of this years finalists would have even gotten a game in either of the 1972 sides. Not many I would wager.



Won the sweep with John Brownlie at the semi as well and didnt see a penny of the £25 winnings! I'm not bitter though.
