Your 1st Ever Hibs game

[Torto7062]

When did you first grace the terracing or shed ?

I was discussing this earlier and my 1st ever visit to Easter Road was a game in the auld league cup section
Hibernian 1–1 Clydebank on the 25th August 1982.

God I feel auld

[Waxy]

First game i remember was Strasbourg 1978ish.First game i went to was v celtic. I barely remember anything about it or when it was.Guess i was too young though i think the score was 4-1 (could be wrong)

[Peevemor]

Skol Festival Trophy, August 1979, Hibs 2 Hearts 1, followed by Coventry (chocolate brown strips) v Man City.

[Diclonius]

The 2006 Scottish Cup semi final. The less said, the better.

[O'Rourke3]

Versus Hearts @ ER Sept 1970 0-0

[hibees 7062]

Airdrie 1971 , 3-1

[Billychaotic182]

Semi final against Livingston.

Was a great game I remeber Le God flicking the ball over a livi boy in our half. Was risky but sheer class

[Scott Allan Key]

First game I went to was Hibs 1 Aberdeen 4 in 3rd Round of Scottish Cup 1983. That was Aberdeen team that went on to win European Cup Winners Cup that season. Our consolation goal was a screamer of a free kick by Gordon Rae.

Incredibly, upon watching a Kevin Keegan 101 Greatest goals video I picked up in a charity shop in Leith, one of them was Gordon v the Sheep. Truly born to be a Hibby.

Circa 1952/53, on my dad's shoulders way at the top of the old east terracing - no idea who against.
I was approx. 5 yrs old.

A 2 nil defeat to Aberdeen @ ER November 2000. I was still hooked after that and promptly got a child's ST the following season.

November 1965, Hamilton at ER, 11-1.

You feel auld!!!

First away game, Ibrox 1969, 3-1 McBride & Marinello x2. Never missed a game in the UK for years after that.

My late dad was a Jambo and wouldn't let me travel to games outside Edinburgh until I was 13.

No wonder I'm so critical with the standard of recent years!

[Mr White]

A nil nil draw against aberdeen january 1988.

[Glesgahibby]

Pat Stanton's testimonial 1978.
Hibs 2 Celtic 1.
Pat scored the winning goal.

[Thecat23]

Hibs v Dunbarton feb 1988. Won 3-0

[Scouse Hibee]

1990 can't remember who the opposition were as thought it was a one off look at Scottish football. Never dreamt I would be moving to Edinburgh two years later and having a ST bought for me!

13 April 1968Easter Road v Motherwell and a 2-1 win
Wilson
Duncan
Davis
Stanton
Madson
McGraw
Scott
Quinn
Stein
Cormack
Stevenson

Great players and they looked smart as a galvanised bucket in their newly pressed strips. They even wore fresh strips after half time and it all looked fantastic in the spring sunshine. My brother and I were back with my older cousin two weeks later to see the same team draw 3-3 with Kilmarnock and thought it would always be like that, great players, great entertainment, big crowds and fantastic atmosphere.

1985 against Dundee at Easter Road we lost 1-0.

[Hillsidehibby]

Sept 68

3-2 v Falkirk. Cormack 2 Stein 1.

I even have the programme!

March 1979, Scottish Cup Quarter Final.

Hibs 2 - 1 Hearts.

Att. 22,000

Hearts Fans rioting in the Dunbar End (well, beating up lone Policemen, as was their hobby at the time)


Even though segregation had started a couple of years earlier, I watched the game from a pretty mixed South Enclosure

Oh and for those that thought taking 16,000+ to a SC Semi Final at the weekend was 'nothing special', we played Aberdeen in the Semi Final that year in front of a grand total of 9,387 at Hampden.

January 2nd 1978 ..hibs 2 Clydebank 0 (Ally McLeod & Alex McGhee ..att - 8284

[The_Exile]

Against Aberdeen in March 1997, it was Paul Tosh's debut if I'm not mistaken? He obviously scored in a 3-1 win and I'm sitting in the terracing as a 12 year old thinking this is great, what a signing this lad is

[DH1875]

2-1 loss to the yams at ER. Was season 92/93 I think.

[Pretty Boy]

Honestly can't remember an exact game. Would have been very late 80s/early 90s though.

A lot of that period jumbles into a big mass. Sitting on wooden benches behind the goals, swèets, crisps, pies, Keith Wright and Darren Jackson, always wanting to go and stand with the radges on the old terracing, moving to the 'main' stand when the FF was built, beating Hearts at about 4 o'clock on a Tuesday afternoon around the same time, away trips to weird and wonderful stadiums (a bit like this season), The Pink, JAG reading the results on the radio post game, a decent Sportscene programme with 2 or 3 English games tacked on at the end......

Great days.

[Liberal Hibby]

Must have been around 1974 Hibs 2-1 v Dundee. I think Alan Gordon had just signed for the dark blues, 1-0 at H-T and up popped Paddy Stanton to score the equaliser. Can't remember who scored the winner.

[spudhib]

First I remember v Raith in first division circa 1980 at ER beat 0-1.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

[easty]

I'm not sure about my first game, but the first I remember is Hibs v Rangers Skol cup semi the year we won it. Keith Wright header to win it. I'd have to ask my old man of id been to any before that.
