I played for North Merchiston at under 18 for a short period and Willie was the manager. Mind having a wonderful Hibs related conversation with him as he drove me to, ironically, Peebles for my first game.

Lovely man who was my sole reason for spending a few months with Merchi.

Willie Mac was manager of my local club Hawick Royal Albert (HRA). He arranged a pre-season friendly with Hibs and there were some ex Hibs players in the HRA team. I fell in love with Hibs through Willie.

Willie Macfarlane was Manager Christmas period 1969/70

Still got the Christmas Card it had the full squad on the front

I'd forgotten about them

The game in Liverpool was Tuesday 23 December and Willie was sadly sacked on the eve of the home leg on the 9th of December.

he must have been the manager of Stirling at the time as he brought Shades with him from there.

Is it that these are the only three Hibs managers with a 100% winning record at Tynecastle? I mean Ormond gets through on a technicality, because he didn't oversee a game there and 100% of 0 is 0. I wouldn't be able to tell you if that's unique, though.

That would be not losing as opposed to winning

Mathematically he had a 100% win, lose and draw ratio.
