Great game that one, absolutely crazy ending. That was the same season that we drew 4-4 and then beat them on pens in the Skol (League) Cup. Brilliant exuberance at the end of both as Hibbies piled on to the pitch to celebrate.

Some great memories, thanks for sharing. Was at a good few of the ones mentioned. It was a fabulous place for atmosphere. Wasn't too keen on having to stand on the seat to see what was happening down at the corners though 😂

Couldn’t tell you my seat number now. I only go to it for big games, just go to the empty spaces at either end of the East stand depending on which way Hibs are shooting most weeks these days.

Anderlecht when the attendance given was 24000 but felt like at least another 10000 in. 79 SC 1/4 final v hearts, beating them 2-1 and watching them all fight amongst themselves. George Best ER debut v Partick. Best scoring V celtic and the Hibbies singing his name. Ally McCoist scoring a screamer for St Johnstone in a LC group game. Souness game, 1st derby after the takeover bid poisonous atmosphere but really showed how much Hibs meant to so many. Celtic CS gas game, 4-4 penalty kick win and 4-3 SC win in the same season against celtic. Beating Der Hun in LC semi 2-0. Bonny Ginsburg game v huns where we beat them 2-0. Being there when Aberdeen won the league. Gordon Rae testimonial v Man U. My first ever ST was for the old east. These are just quickly off the top of my head. Many happy memories and a lot of unhappy, cold wet ones too. Thankfully confined to history now as we progress as a club

AEK was special.
I remember a Hearts team-mate having a quiet word in Stefano Salvatore's ear to explain what the "Salvatore's wife's a w****" chant was all about and then he had a funny wee smirk at us.

There were no complaints from me about finally having a roof, just a bit surprised that it needed so many pillars.

Remember the Fairs Cup gane v Liverpool during the miners strike?. Floodlights killed at half time to save fuel because we had borrowed the generator from the Northern because it was a scheduled power cut night and at the top of the East upper you could not see a thing it was so dar up there and there were vampires!

The 3-2 Boruc game was very memorable in the East.
Other thing that springs to mind are the toilets. Literally pissing against a wall.

I have many memories of the old east from late 80s through to the early 2000s but the one that always sticks out was a game against Dundee Utd, probably about 1990/91. It was still terracing and the crowd was probably less than 10,000, so it wasn't very densely filled.
We were 2-0 down in the 2nd half and going nowhere when suddenly Gareth Evans acored two very similar goals on the break in the space of about 4 minutes. We were still bouncing about celebrating the equaliser, not really watching the game properly, when Keithy popped up with a header to make it 3-2. Absolute bedlam, and my brother and I both got knocked flat in the celebrations. My brother was only about 10 or 11 but absolutely loving it.
Not a particularly significant fixture, and not a big crowd, but the closest I have come to an injury in a football ground. Happy days.

6-2, AEK both tremendous, loved it when it was a covered terrace, always a great atmosphere, with some sways. i remember sunbathing on the old massive terrace shortly before it was knocked down. could walk round from the cow shed to the east at half time too.

Gravity fed bogs. Slapping the lintel on the way out. David Duff and Jim Gray mixing with fans on the terracing when played Hamilton. I thought that they would take us to a new level.....

Big sway against the fencing the Souness game as it all kicked off
The surge of the crowd and the anticipation when the Juke Box got the ball
The Hearts Cup game when Big Jonesy scored
(Sky Sports recorded yams 24% possession )
CS gas Celtic game
Mickey Stewart rocket versus the Sheep
Eddie May winner versus the Hearts last game I attended with my dear old dad
(4/1/1989 27200 crammed into ER that day)
Harper and ONeill goals versus the Hearts on Neer Day
Showing my age but Big Dode Stewart and Gogs Rae goals versus Hearts in the Scottish Cup QF
Davey Beaumont not halfing Wayne Foster when he had the chance
Lavety and Harper to bring high flying Hearts back down to earth
Andy Goram telling Houchey to take the pen versus Liege Oh dear!
Gordon Chisholms debut goal versus the Hun in the League Cup Semi
James Collins winner versus Hearts
Joe Harper’s winner versus Liverpool in the soaking rain
Hibs versus AEK Athens the very first SOL
Hibs versus Anderlecht Sporting Lisbon Leeds United Juventus Rosenberg Malmo ( the first time) Hamburg Lokomotiv Leeds and Liverpool again
Almost every home game from 68 including all of The Tornadoes home games and most of the aways
All brilliant memories witnessed from the East

The 3-1 win against the yams when Sauzee lost a tooth when scoring.

Motherwell at home, 1985-86 season. Didnae go to many games with my dad back then, but did that day. At 0-0, a few guys in front of us were moaning at John Collins, asking why a wee laddie was on the pitch? My dad (never one to pass up the opportunity for an argument) said to them, "What's wrong with ye, dae yaise no' like fitba players or somethin'??". Went on to win 4-0, JC scored the 4th with a raker, got MotM and whole east terracing were singing, "One Johnny Collins". The group in front of us had long since moved on 😁
Ended up at the dugs at Powderhall with the auld man later that night (me that is, no' JC). Great day oot!

Loved the atmosphere in the East when it was the proper old east, open terracing, then also when it got the roof, great when it was packed but, only drawback you couldn't outrun the beer farts, nowhere to hide. The Souness game was one of the best.
To this day have still never smelled an atmosphere like the Scottish game anywhere in the world.

A couple of personal ones.
- fulfilling a long held ambition and calling Roy Keane a **** from a safe distance when he swung by on his retirement tour
- losing the plot in a big way after a last minute og by - I think - our current boss from an Ian Murray cross gave us a late, late 2-1 win
- the game vs Rangers just after George Best had died. We absolutely murdered them, 1st half especially. One of Kevin Thomson's finest games for us.

Matty Jack game v Dundee United, and Didier agathe debut spring to mind, most games under mobray were pretty enjoyable in there too

Took my first girlfriend to the derby where O'Connor scored in the last minute. Embarrassed myself by taking my top off and twirling it around my head at the goal. Relationship ended not long after 😂 Remember leaving down the steps of the east stand and everyone singing "10 men, we only need 10 men".
