    Talking about turning the clock back, after the game today my mates and I went for a drink at the cask and barrel. Sitting outside and some older guys came and sat next to us. Turns out the older guys were George Stewart, Ally McLeod and Jackie McNamara snr amongst other old Hibs players! Had a lovely wee chat and drink with them and they were all surprised younger guys like us (28 so not too young) knew who they were!Great stories and cracking banter! Really took our minds off the result today.

    Worth pointing out that Ayr had a good team then , maybe their best ever team so the 8 v 1 was probably a better result than the 7 v 0 on New Year`s Day .

    Ally (Concord nose) McLeod said after the game that his side hadn't played badly and to be perfectly honest, he was right, Ayr played okay but Hibs were on a different planet that day.

    I think we also beat St Johnstone 9-2 around the same time. And Rosenberg 9-1.

    Totally different teams/era

    Apologies, they were 1976 and 1974 respectively

    Back of a small truck with 2 reserves or 2 apprentices standing like statues. Took about 20 mins if I remember correctly. Must have gone with an adult. We were standing in the lower terrace near the cave. My usual spot was under the tv gantry high up...

    IIRC the 8 that day took our total goals scored that season to 105 and it still wasn't Christmas. Great days indeed
