Hibs beat Dunfermline to win the league club. The team that wouldn't die.
The Hibs crowd was massive that day and many didn't get in as it wasn't all ticket.

I was in Guernsey at the time and watched it on Sky TV. I was panicking when they were still showing some Italian match when we had kicked off and IIRC they showed it with about an hour delay. Didn't really matter as there was no internet/Facebook at the time so no danger of anybody telling me the score.
Great day.

More than half a lifetime ago, but still one of my best birthdays.
Hampden for the game, then back to Edinburgh to see the cup being paraded and finished off with a Wolfsbane gig.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I ended up in the boozer at the bottom of Lochend Road (Marlborough???) with my Faither. Absolutely no idea how I got home that night Originally Posted by Baldy Foghorn

The final was a bit of an anti-climax as we were always expected to beat the Pars who were honking. Still we had a job to do and the second half was brilliant as we totally stepped up a gear.
The final was great, the semi was even better strange enough.

Fantastic day probably my best day as a Hibee. We ended up in Fingers. I bought a copy of every paper the following day, even the Sun. Then into the Coopers Rest on the Monday. I can remember the day like it was yesterday. It was a cup final which was PATG. We ended up in the family section but had to buy tickets from a booth. Thousands of Hibs fans were locked out that day. Great memories, the crowd opposite the Balmoral was mental.

Saw a clip today that gave the attendance as a touch over 40k but the crowd from the footage looked comfortably bigger than that!

I was 7 months old.
There's a picture somewhere in my parent's house of me sitting in the Cup.
Thinking about it, I wouldn't mind a copy of it for my own house actually...

Amazing that it was cash gates that day which definitely added to the crowd. Makes it laughable when you consider the discussion on the cash gate at Falkirk last week.Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, vodka in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO what a ride!"

I'll never forget keith wright's goal. Even though I've seen it hundreds of times on tv since I can still clearly see him slotting it home from the angle I saw it live. Near brings a tear to my eye thinking about it

Yeah was thinking the same. The semi was absolutely brilliant and Goram flapping for Keefs goal made it all the sweeter Originally Posted by KeithTheHibby

Amazing night!
I do remember in the final though my 11 year old self reassuring my dad that Tommy McIntyre had never missed a penalty and that he would score easily.
He turned to me and said "son when you have been watching Hibs as long as I have then you will know nothing is a certainty". Ain't that the truth

Is that no the game where the Players through Murdo McLeod had placed a bet early in the competition that they would lift the Cup?

I seem to remember that a section of the east terrace was blocked off which made the lock out even more confusing

A week or so before the final Hibs got a penalty and TM scored. I think it was his first for the club. The bookies didn't realise that he was our penalty taker and had him at 22/1 to score first. I had £2.00 on him which made it even sweeter.

Forgot it was Davie Moyes that played Keith onside for the second.
Didn't Billy Davies play for them as well and Andy Rhodes who is Jordan's dad.

Great day and one of the strangest days of football in my life. My lift was my pals new girlfriend- we'd never met. She drove me through and back despite not meeting up with him. No mobile phone saturation in them days....
So no drinking before during or after the game. Stone cold sober and loving it.
Got to work the next morning early and one of the shift leaders was late coming in - came in screaming Hiiiiiiibbbbeeeees. Sat down with a coffee and driven home - still pished

This was the first trophy that Walter Smith failed to win having won the first five of his tenure.
Read a story that after the final Andy Goram walked into training and said that if he had stayed at Hibs he would have a league cup winners medal. Mccoist said that if he had stayed with Hibs then all the Rangers players would have winners medals.

I think that was the 85 Cup Final, against Aberdeen (the terracing was being rebuilt)
At the 91 Final, the whole terrace was open but large parts of the Main Stand were closed for safety reasons.

In Portugal on lads holiday and last night was when we played semi. Live on Sky but terrible signal meant we couldn't watch it in hotel but sound came through ok so bizarrely listened and stared at fuzzy screen.

I thought Dunfermline were given a complete end but only filled half it. The police and stewards wouldn't let Hibs supporters in the empty section hence loads were locked out.
