Perhaps if the fans resurrect some of the old chants during the final as a mark of respect?

My dad ~ he introduced me to football and took me to may games well I took him if truth be told as he only went because of me and when I was old enough to go on my own or with pals he rarely came.

Paul Kenny ~ Pal from Haddington, we had so much fun winding the jambo's up, it was almost cruel at times.

Roger Bagshaw ~ Funniest guy I ever knew ~ we never went to a match together unfortunately

RIP my friends

my brother in law James/ jimmy/ pace who bet on hibs counless times against the jam tarts with his mates and rarely won a penny
and my father in law Sandy a gem of a man a closet hearts fan but the rest of his family and wife Mary staunch hibby's would be tickled pink if we won on saturday
god bless you all

**Zander** · 16-05-2012 02:49 PM

My Dad, Joe who would have been almost 81 if he was still alive.
Took me to see Hibs in the early 60's when I was only 4.
Lifted me over the turnstiles in the old east terracing car park

**yeezus.** · 16-05-2012 03:02 PM

I happen to be the only Hibs supporter in my family, but if we win the cup I think we will all be thinking of our loved lost ones. It's going to be a very emotional day that's for sure.

**Purehibee_MYB** · 16-05-2012 03:07 PM

Definitely my Grandad, with out him I wouldn't be a hibby!

**hibeeleicester** · 16-05-2012 03:08 PM

My Grandads brother!

Couldn't think of a bigger family of Hibees!

***HONG KONG PHOOEY*** · 16-05-2012 05:22 PM

My dad died 4 years ago today. He would have loved to see Hibs win the Scottish Cup, he never did. Hopefully this Saturday he will be looking down and celebrating with me and my fellow Hibby's

***Allant1981*** · 16-05-2012 05:23 PM

A friend of mines son died a few years ago at a young age but was a big hibs fan so hopefully he is smiling up there on sat afternoon

**JJP** · 16-05-2012 05:50 PM

My Grandad, he was responsible for making me a Hibby. He died a few years back and like a lot of the Hibs fans of his generation always wanted to see Hibs lift the cup and, unfortunately, never got to see it. One of the last things I ever said to him was that no matter what, if Hibs won the cup in my lifetime, I'd be there. I have something of his and will be taking it to Hampden with me on Saturday.

**Topographic Hibby** · 16-05-2012 06:27 PM

**bodoglimt** · 16-05-2012 07:33 PM

I would like to add my dad to the list who died on the 18th may 2011 who would of loved to have seen a hibs win.

This got me thinking the same as others on this thread about family and great hibs players of the past sadly no longer with us.

With this in mind I thought it would be a great gestureon the clubs part if when hopefully winning the cup that both Pat Stanton & Lawrie Reilly(if present at the game) join the team with Hibs tops on from their particular era.

This would show that winning the cup is not just about the hereand now it is about winning it and being part of the greatest footballing family that is HIBERNIAN FOOTBALL CLUB

**cal-d hibs** · 16-05-2012 07:47 PM

My uncle Johnny Campbell(St Marys Street & Piershill, d.1991)
The man made me a Hibby, tell me tales of Hibs over many decades. he started watching hibs in the 30's when they were rotton but got his rewards with The Famous Five.
I know he'll be sitting with us on Saturday.

**lyonhibs** · 16-05-2012 07:54 PM

Though he wasn't a sports fan in the slightest, when we're belting out "Sunshine on Leith", I'll be greeting like a bairn for a 1000 reasons, most of all will be for my Dad, who would have been happy with a Hibs win because it made me happy, even more so against the Jambos.

***StevieT*** · 16-05-2012 07:59 PM

My dad, Jimmy Turnbull, without whom I would not have been blessed to follow the boys in green. Thanks dad. I will be at the game on Saturday with a photo of him in my pocket. Hopefully he will be able to see them lift the cup after all.

Although he passed away 16 years ago, reading this thread is difficult, especially on such an motional subject.

RIP dad.
