Sunday 31st December 1972

[Jack]

What were you doing?

I honestly cant remember.

Probably had a wee sleep then up to the Tron with a few mates before scouring Leith for random parties.

One things for sure. I woke up somewhere, checked I had my match ticket and headed off to The Saville Dome, as it was known then :giggle:

At 3 pm the crowd ******g roared and the next 90 minutes of football was the stuff of song and legend.

Jimmy O’Rourke thought he was set
When he put the ball in the jam tarts net
Bye Bye jam tarts

Alan Gordon running through
Cooly stroked in number two
Bye Bye jam tarts

Bobby Seith thought that he was only dreaming
When Arthur Duncan hammered number three in

The Hibees choir sang for more
Alex Cropley made it four
Bye Bye jam tarts

Hearts defenders on the skive
Arthur Duncan made it five
Bye Bye jam tarts

Paddy Stanton showed his tricks
As Jimmy O’Rourke scored number 6
Bye Bye jam tarts

Eddie Turnbull thought he was up in heaven
When Alan Gordon knocked in number seven

The Hibees fans wanted eight
But the jam tarts finally shut the gate
jam tarts bye bye

[BroxburnHibee]

I was in am bed probably - 4 years old

[weonlywon6-2]

Probably bumped of to bed,i was seven !!!!

[Hibercelona]

Was having a discussion with god, desperately trying to convince him to allow Hibs to give Hearts a massive pumping the next day.

[Aldo]

I was nearly 2. So no memories for me but my Dad and uncle who were both at game have relived the game in many occasions, usually after a few drinks or 10.

It was my 1st birthday

[Hiber-nation]

At ma Aunties, watching all the adults getting pished, desperately waiting for the big day

[jonty]

I was -10 months. Or maybe I was 4 weeks late.

I lay claim to being a 0-7 child.

I was just a seed in my pappa's bollocks
But i know he was gassed before during and
After

[southern hibby]

Fathers a Jambo ( he's not mine mother was on the game when I was conceived, rather be a wino's offspring than a jambo's).
He was at the game, only thing he has ever mentioned was him and a HIBS mate had a bet on for a nip per goal. Said Hibs b@@@@@d emptied me bottle. Lol. Oh and to answer the question I was 4 and father said even then he wasn't interested I'n taking me to the football as all I mentioned was HIBS. Thank goodness he never took me to see that shower I could / would have ended up emotionally and mentally scared. GGTTH

Big house party that went on all night. As a 12 year old I skimmed the odd drink, ate all the rubbish that was available,hibs house and lots of good drunken singing. remember getting dropped off next day outside my uncles at dalry. with some mates, some of whom were hearts fans of that era from my estate. Coming back was Euphoric. Really do remember all of the game but even now I don't remember the journey back. I just know I walked with a group of Hibbies to Regent Road and then got picked up.

Was 15 at the time and travelled through on train from fife Remember the above song used to love singing it .Remember going back to Edinburgh and waiting outside the North British hotel for the players to appear on the balcony .one of the best days of my life .Thought that was how it would always be .Always nice to reminisce at this time of year especially before a Derby Remember we used to take over 17 000 fans to Tynecastle and you were packed in like sardines and swaying with the crowd You could get crushed trying to track those lovely toilet facilities

Happy days, and if anyone is feeling particularly nostalgic you can go down to tiny and still see the exact same toilets today - hopefully they will keep them in the same state when its a museum.

[Lucius Apuleius]

Was in a nightclub in Avonmouth. The local female nightfighters were going to march on the ship and demand to know from the skipper why he would not let a young Scots lad pay off and go home for Hogmanay. I pointed out it was a wee bit too late. :-)

[...WentToMowAnSPL]

I was 1 year old... Can't remember must have had a good night '

[Golden Bear]

I can't remember but the events of the following day are etched in my memory forever.

[HiBremian]

A few bevvies into the evening

Off to the Tron



Cannae remember the rest o' the night

Off to the asbestos factory with a wee bottle of malt in the pocket - after a few 0-0s, the mates insisted on a dram for each goal.



Cannae remember the rest o' the night

Great stuff, brings back some memories, one being that I was in my bed as a 7 year old in the huff as my dad wouldn't take me with him the next day to Tynie, even more pissed off when he came back late the next night after a few bevvies and told me the score :-))

I'm fairly certain, I'm not going to fall out with anyone over it. There were quite a few ticketed matches around that time.

The stand that day was indeed all ticket. Rest of the ground was pay at the gate.
