Sadly it's out of stock.

The book occasionally comes up for sale on eBay.
Also the second hand book site http://www.abebooks.co.uk. I got mine from there a few months back.

Meantime here’s a wee couple of minutes from the late, great David Francey to brighten up this dark and cold Monday evening. GGTAK

Always remember there was a radio Forth Sunday phone and all the jambos were phoning in crying their eyes out then a hibs fan came on and said it was they were greatest day of his life 😂. Think the presenter was David.????

It wasn't Andy the Priest (or whatever his name was) with his late night agony uncle radio show?

Could imagine a few of them were close to the edge that night....

It was Dial David Johnson, I was at work that morning and had radio on in the background, first couple of callers were suicidal jambos, then on came the Hibs fan and thanked Hearts for one of the greatest days of his life, talk about lighting the blue touch paper, the rest of the programme was mental and hilarious in equal measure as Jambo after Jambo piled in to I’m sure the great delight of all Hibby’s, with the guy who made the call knowing full well what would happen - would still like to shake the guys hand, best ever Sunday morning radio, pure joy !!

Interesting to here Derek Rae commentating on the Celtic game as well. He's been around a few years.

A nice Xmas Pressie on Hib-Bay

***hibee_nation*** · 27-11-2018 11:24 AM

The cover must be photoshoped, surely Craig Levein would have been in the pic in the middle of the yams defence.

I’m sure it was only available in kindle or download I had it too.

It was a bitterly sad day for Hearts probably their worst, still they had the comfort of a Scottish Cup final to end the season on a high.

I remember having £100 on the dons that day at 6/4 easy money and happy days

£100 on a team back in 86, was that not like an average weeks wage back then?

Yes it was a decent bet to have back then, I think my season ticket for the old north was about £120 then, great summer though also backed shahrastani for the derby

I was still an apprentice - £100 was almost half my monthly take-home.

I too started work as an apprentice in 1978 and my take home was just over £100pm, but don't see the relevance of your post ??

Excellent read and an even better laugh would thoroughly recommend it!

SPOILER ALERT!

Potter still doesn’t win a medal

Pretty sure they went to the Scottish Cup Final a week later though and made amends for the disappointment of Dens.

They did, didn't they? They did beat Aberdeen, didn't they?

Afraid not Mack the dens debacle would haunt them that following Saturday and happily long after

If it’s about money, I started work on £25 a week before youth / slavery / thatcher / clearasil / tax. This was 1979. Does anyone know if things got any better in the following 7 years or so? Top off my heed came off that May you see.
