Best day of my life. Absolutely wonderful in every way. Being there with my old man was very very special indeed along with the many other family members and friends who I've been going to the games with since I was wee.

The whole cup run really couldn't have been scripted any better tbh-

1) Raith - 1st goal of the run scored by life long hibee McGreagor
2) Hearts being 2-0 up at tynecastle, their fans giving it big about 1902 etc then making a **** up of it in the last 10 mins
3) Putting hearts out under the floodlights in front of a packed ER. The SoL was unbelievable as well.
4) Inverness. A win up there in the replay, a place we have struggled at over the years.
5) Dundee Utd semi final. Up steps big Conrad to be the hero (what a story! 16 months out then 1st game back does that!)
6) 2-1 down with 15 mins to go thinking "here we go its happening again" then up steps Stoksey then Sir David the captain in injury time to win it. BEAUTIFUL absolutely ****ing BEAUTIFUL!

The parade the following day was just surreal. People crying in joy, everyone there with their loved ones, SoL at the links etc. Just amazing amazing memories.

Number 4 is probably the one that stands out for me the most. A few days after we had lost the LC final in the cruelest possible way. I travelled up in hope but expected a scrappy defeat by the odd goal. To win in the way we did showed real character and cemented the idea in my mind that that Hibs team was a bit different.

It is the definitive Scottish Cup win of all time. The romance of the cup will never be better illustrated. A film script come to life.

Still tear up, as I am now, remembering the sheer joy of it.

The exact second of the final whistle is the purest, most intense moment of undiluted pleasure and relief I will ever experience in my life.

What a day, even watching from afar.

Absolutely. Took real strength and guts to pick ourselves up after the LC final defeat where we had suffered a cruel blow. We went up there and fought hard to take ourselves back to Hampden for another crack at silverware.

The relief, the ecstasy, the sheer emotion of it all. Just indescribable and something not many get to experience.

Agree that day was the best in my life. Was on the way to Hampden just now. Well the pub before it anyway.

Have to disagree with your comment about Hearts ****ing it up though. The draw was all down to us not accepting we were beaten. The team, and the fans for that matter just would not accept we were going out.

Back to the final though, I still have goosebumps thinking about it and hello to anyone from Pathhead reading this. Long time no see.

Hearts ****ed up in the sense that they completely underestimated us. At 2-0 they thought the game was done. We showed such bottle and resilience, something that in the past we have lacked especially at tynecastle. 2-0 down at tynecastle with a Butcher/Calderwood/Fenlon etc team and we would have crumbled. That team however was different and we gave hearts something they were not expecting.

My wedding day got moved from May 21 to June 4 on my best man’s advice “just in case we get to the final”. My daughter was also born in November that year. That was some hat-trick.

That is superb. I don’t know what the equivalent of the ball would be in those circumstances but whatever it is, you should get to keep it.

***k sake I still get a tear in my eye thinking about the day I hope that never changes it was once in a lifetime stuff I was not sure whether to go or not as I thought if I dont go we might win as I had been there for years of misery by God I'm glad I decided to go nothing will ever stop that day even if we win it again and again I'm glad I went with my son and had tears for family members who are no longer with us I still say to my son that it was his grandad who lifted sir David up to make sure we scored as it was the anniversary of his passing so it went from a sad day to me to a happy day and that is how my dad would want it.

GGTTH
happy 21 may everyone.

The 2-2 derby was my birthday and the win at Tynecastle this season was my wedding day. Strange how it happens.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

I watched the game on tv... the kids arent interested in football but ill never forget the look on their faces when that header went in and me and the mrs jumped off the couch shouting YESSSSSSSS and jumping around like lunatics......best moment of my life.......kids needed an underwear change

🤔😀 funnily enough, I rewrote my groom speech after 21/5 so that my opening lines were “ladies and gentlemen, this is the greatest day of my life. And as you all know, there has been some serious competition for that accolade recently. I am, of course, referring to the day I found out I was going to be a father!”

lol

My wife hates it when I refer to 21/5/2016 as the greatest day of my life

Maybe my next wife will be more understanding - or make sure I marry a hibee next time

Anyone got the highlights video but with the bagpipes over the commentary? saw it on facebook a couple of times and had a lump in my throat every time.

[The Harp]

Think we should mark this special day from here on in.

21st May = Sir David's Day.

[hfc rd]

Just everything about that day and the parade at Leith Links the next day was simply terrific. One of the best weekends of my life.

I remember when we went 2-1 down, I said to my mate that we ain’t out of this and if we manage to score the next goal - we will go onto win.

When Henderson delivered first time and Stokesy equalised, you could just tell that our name was written on the cup. And the winner by Sir David Gray... happened so quickly that I only just remember falling down to my knees just speechless on what we were on the cusp of doing, only to be bear hugged and kissed on my forehead by my mate and celebrating with everyone around us.

21/05/16 is up there with the day I got married and had my first kid. Just an amazing, special day

[one day maybe...]

Watching the game again just now, still 1-1, know the final score and I’m still nervous 😂

Sitting in the car waiting for the boy to come out of his swimming training, greeting my eyes out watching that. Not seen it before and it's a heavenly match of images and music.

[Onion]

In the words of Lou Reed, just a perfect day. From the lack of expectation, to the unexpected start (never seen Hibs lead a SCF), to the police leaving for a party at Ibrox, to our unexpected equaliser, to the “Jees, we’ve got a real chance”, to SDG’s defiance in the face of 114 years of mocking history. Time For Heros, Sevco statements. Goading. SOL. Sunday Parade. Rainbow over ER. We did it Dad. Everything, every little detail was .. a perfect.

There will never, ever be an occasion like it again. Don’t care. We were there.

It's going to be strange in 20 years posting on this forum when a whole new group of posters will not have been born/able to remember that day. We could win a ton of trophies in that time but THAT day...

I suppose it's like my dad, he was there for 0-7, Stanton lifting the cup...

And some on here who saw Joe Baker, the Famous Five...

Strange and in some way incomprehensible. However I am looking forward to it.

I thank my Dad (surreyhibbie) for raising me a Hibs fan.

No doubt about it Turnbulls tornadoes were a fabulous team to watch and support, but they never came close to giving me the feelings I got on that day in May or indeed for the next few months.
