    London, Glasgow, Manchester, Dundee ?
    Correct! Only 1 team from Edinburgh has managed, thankfully. London is the only city with 3 clubs who have got that far.

    Here's a true sequence of scores in Europe over 1960/61.
    Eintracht F 12-4 Rangers
    Real Madrid 7-3 Eintracht Frankfurt
    Barcelona 4-3 Real M ( Real's 1st defeat in Europe)
    Hibs 7-6 Barcelona!

    HIBERNIAN 2 v 0 PARTICK THISTLE

    Scottish League Premiership 31/3/2018

    MacLaren 71 Hanlon 76

    Hibs : Bell Hanlon McGregor Ambrose Bartley McGeoch Stevenson Boyle Allan MacLaren and Kamberi

    Subs Whitts for Bartley 65 Shaw for MacLaren 78 and Swanson for Allan 92

    Unused Dabrowski Slivka Murray and Porteous

    Pretty sure PARTICK scored a perfectly good goal that was disallowed in this match and HIBS went up the park and scored two

    Danny Devine sent off for PARTICK on 86 minutes for a second yellow

    As the season has just about ended, can I just say how much I have enjoyed the contributions from BillyHibs and everyone else on this thread. It has been a history lesson and also very informative too.

    As the games history dwindles away (Summer Cup & Tour Games only probably!!) and thoughts turn to the new, very different season, please keep up the good work!!

    6/6/1942 Summer Cup Round 1 Leg 2

    Clyde 0 v 2 Hibernian ( Agg 1-4 )

    Combe
    Kean

    HIBS struggled in this hard fought encounter at Shawfield and only really took the upper hand when Clyde were reduced to 10 men through injury

    HIBS were defending their trophy and would lose the final against Rangers in a bad tempered encounter at Hampden on the toss of a coin after drawing 0-0 and 2-2 on corners

    Hibs: Crozier Shaw Hall Busby Baxter and Kean Smith Finnigan Milne Combe and Caskie

    Also enjoy reading this section so many thanks . Great to remember games I actually went to . I`m too young to remember the Summer Cup ( will have been explained already I suppose but why was this tournament invented ? ) but was at ER when we beat Rangers on 31/5/79 and remember us playing in California in May / June 81 ( some players refused to travel cause of contract problems I seem to remember ) . ,Pre season I was at Gibraltar friendly in first days of July 2013 and we`d played at Dumbarton just before that in late June . Apart from this year , close seasons have become very short in recent years . Going back a long time ( about 1972 ) I always remember reading in Evening News that we were playing Middlesbrough in a home friendly on 30th June . Luckily someone in my family phoned ER and we found out game was 30th July ( maybe year Turnbull arrived as manager ) as I lived in the Borders at the time .

    I suppose like now where we find ourselves in the middle of a pandemic crisis football clubs are expensive to run and back in 1940 many players and fans were unavailable due to the war and any players that were available were either guest players due to their posting ( Sir Matt Busby) or older players or players in special occupations that were paid on a part time basis

    The Summer Cup was the brain child of our Harry Swan to help generate interest among the football starved population and income during the war years and was played May to July

    There was also the Southern League Cup a diluted version of the League Cup which HIBS won once
    ( 1944 versus Rangers 6-5 on corners).

    The Summer Cup was never won by more than one team more than once and was presented to Harry Swan by Willie McCartney to be retained in the HIBS boardroom after our inaugural win in 1941

    The winners were :

    1941 Hibernian

    1942 Rangers - defeating Hibernian on the toss of a coin

    1943 St Mirren

    1944 Motherwell

    1945 Partick Thistle defeating Hibernian 2-0

    The tournament was reintroduced in 1963/64 for two years

    Rangers and Celtic declined to enter

    HIBS won in 1964 and Motherwell won in 1965

    Hibs have the overall best record in the competition having won it twice and being runners up twice and as I said is on display at Easter Road to this very day

    The match versus Middlesbrough 31/7/1971 0-2 was Eddie Turnbulls first game in charge and I remember our new young signing Bertie Auld was having a ding dong battle with Nobby Stiles in the Middlesbrough midfield

    Nobby put in an over the ball challenge on Bertie and he fell awkwardly on the brick hard surface damaging his collar bone. Tam McNiven came on and told Bertie he would have to come off “ Give me five minutes “ says Bertie. Two minutes later Nobby Stiles is getting carried off on a stretcher

    7/6/1953 Octagonal Rivadavia Correa Meyer Tournament

    Vasco Da Gama 3 v 3 Hibernian

    Turnbull
    Reilly 2

    HIBS were invited to play in this unofficial World Club Championship of the World in a tournament that consisted mostly of Brazilian teams

    HIBS were drawn in a section that consisted of Vasco Da Gama, Botofago and Fluminese

    The first match against Brazilian Champions Vasco Da Gama was to be played in the world famous Maracana Stadium in front of a crowd of 33671

    A jet lagged HIBS team performed admirably in the searing heat scoring through Lawrie Reilly 2 and Eddie Turnbull

    The Vasco Da Gama third goal was a mile offside but the Referee waved aside the HIBS protests

    Turnbull and Bobby Johnstone would both go on to hit the crossbar but the game would finish all square

    The match is best remembered for the Brazilian fans fighting amongst themselves on the terraces

    HIBS and their entertaining style of play were very well received by the Brazilian fans and in particular Gordon Smith as Vasco Da Gama showed interest in signing him after the tournament

    The other non Brazilian sides placed in the tournament were Sporting Lisbon and Olympia of Paraguay

    Arthur Milne opened the scoring for HIBS in only 12 seconds

    Celtic would get revenge with a 1-0 win at Easter Road but too little too late

    HIBS would go on to win a thrilling final 3-2 versus Rangers at Hampden

    10th June 2014 : Leeann Dempster today took the decision to sack her former Motherwell employee : Hibernian Manager Terry Butcher

    HIBS had been mid-table when Butcher took over in mid November 2013 but he had failed to win a match in any of our last 13 games sucking us into a relegation battle and resulting in our eventual relegation from the top tier in the playoff stages to the Championship.

    Terence Ian Butcher goes down in history as the worst Hibernian Manager ever

    11/6/1967 North American League Match Day 4

    Toronto City 1 v 2 Los Angeles Wolves

    Davis (pen)



    Hibs faced English cracks Wolverhampton Wanderers in a home match in Toronto

    Early in the second half Joe Davis equalised an earlier Derek Dougan goal from the penalty spot.

    The big talking point however came midway through the second half when the Wolves winger David Wagstaffe punched Jim Scott in the face in an off the ball altercation.

    At first the Referee appeared to send Wagstaffe off only for Derek Dougan to step in insisting that if Wagstaffe went then the rest of the Wolves team would join him in the Dressing Room

    This seemed to confuse the Referee who eventually changed his mind and merely booked the Wolves player a quite incredible decision

    To make matters worse Dougan himself would score the winner a few minutes from the end after intercepting a poor cross field pass by John Madsen

    Wolves would go on to lift the trophy defeating Aberdeen in the Final after extra-time

    Hibs: Allan Simpson Davis Stanton Madsen Cousin Quinn Cormack Scott McGraw and Stevenson

    12th June 1990 Millionaire Tom Farmer comes to HIBS rescue by buying a substantial number of shares in an attempt to block Wallace Mercer’s unpopular takeover bid. Mr Farmer was keen to stress that this was a blocking move with the sole intent of saving HIBS rather than an attempt to take over the club himself

    15/6/1946 Victory Cup Final

    Rangers 3 v 1 Hibernian

    Aitkenhead

    Professional football had been suspended for the duration of the Second World War

    The cessation of the war came too late for a proper football season in 1945-46. It was ordered by the SFA that instead of a Scottish Cup which had been withheld for the duration of the conflict a Victory Cup would be competed for in April, May and June of 1946

    HIBS had defeated Dundee, Hearts, Partick Thistle and Clyde to reach the Final where they would face Rangers at Hampden Park

    The match was unique in that brothers Jock and Davie Shaw would line up against each other on opposing sides

    The match kicked off and Rangers were running HIBS ragged with their short crisp neat passing moves Aitkenhead and Peat were having to drop back to help out their beleaguered defence in which Shaw and Govan were performing admirably

    They could only hang on for so long however and after 20 minutes Rangers took the lead when following a quick throw in out wide taken by ex Hibee guest Jimmy Caskie to Duncanson who reverse passed the ball back to the winger who whipped in a cross to Gillick whose attempt on goal was diverted past his own goalkeeper by the inrushing Finnigan

    Despite going behind Hibernian actually began to grow into this match Gordon Smith in particular was causing Jock Shaw some difficulty

    Just before half-time Nutley and Milne cleverly worked the ball up the left hand side exchanging passes A dummy by Nutley allowed his partner to deliver a ball into the Rangers box A lung bursting run by Aitkenhead saw him reach the ball first and thunder it first time beyond Bobby Brown high into the roof of the Rangers net

    Rangers kicked off the second half and immediately scored what was reported at the time as being one of the best goals ever scored at Hampden Park

    Thornton kicked off and played the ball to Torry Gillick He returned it to Thornton and he in turn passed the ball back to Symon The half back lobbed the ball into the centre to be met by Thornton who had made the run The number 9 laid it off neatly for the arriving Duncanson to lash it into the net from fully 20 yards The first time a HIBS player touched the ball in the second half was to pick the ball out of the net

    The goal did little to dampen HIBS spirits however and Gordon Smith continued to torment Shaw down the HIBS right flank forcing Brown into two outstanding saves as HIBS chased an equaliser

    Willie Waddell had the ball in the net for Rangers but it was ruled out for an infringement in the build up

    The game was sealed in the dying moments however when Waddell found Duncanson with a launched ball downfield who beat all opposition to it being first to the ball and guiding it beyond the advancing Jimmy Kerr

    In truth it was a poor performance by HIBS on the day who struggled to assert their authority apart from 20 minutes towards the end of the first half. They struggled against explayer Jimmy Caskie who helped Rangers dominate the game and failed to cope with the absence of the experienced Sammy Kean. Manager Willie McCartney going for a positional change rather than a like for like swap

    HIBS : Kerr Govan Shaw Howie Aird Finnigan Smith Peat Milne Aitkenhead and Nutley

    Hibs’ 2-1 defeat of a tired unbeaten Nottingham Forest side playing the last game of their Canadian tour on 12 th June 1965 signalled the start of a successful but exhausting tour of North America and Canada in which HIBS would score a remarkable 72 goals conceding only six :

    The biggest obstacle in this game was the swarm of midges that descended upon the fair skinned HIBS players for a proverbial feast. Derek Whiteford recorded 27 bites whilst Willie Hamilton was strangely unaffected ??


    26/6/1965 Friendly Challenge Match

    Hibernian 4 v 0 Toronto Italia

    Hamilton 7
    J Stevenson 2
    Cormack 2
    Baxter
    Quinn
    Scott
    Simpson

    A silver salver was up for grabs for Man of the Match and even in the 90 degree heat Willie Hamilton was irresistible As well as scoring 7 goals he mesmerised the opposition with his ball skills and lethal bursts of pace. After being presented with the Man of the Match award Willie couldn’t get the prize into his hold-all. Undeterred he bent the tray over his knee to ensure his beloved mum would get her present from Canada



    29/6/1965 Friendly Challenge Match

    Hibernian 3 v 0 Montreal Italia

    Hamilton
    J Stevenson
    ORourke

    This match was played in a surreal atmosphere with armed police surrounding the pitch as the local stadium and fans had a reputation for trouble

    The Italians did not take kindly to being outplayed and they resorted to underhand tactics kicking punching and head-butting

    The Referee warned HIBS about their rough play at half time??

    Into the second half and a free for all ensued when Peter Cormack was clearly punched in the face off the ball and Jim Scott was sent off for the first time in his career for bad mouthing the Referee near the end of the game

    As the final whistle neared the fans had left their seats and were surrounding the pitch outnumbering the armed police waiting to exact their revenge on the HIBS players

    At the final whistle Big John McNamee simply walked off the pitch with his chest puffed out closely followed by his team-mates following in behind and safely into the locker room as the Montreal fans hurled abuse at them

    17/6/1947/Friendly Challenge Match

    Norrkoping 3 v 1 Hibernian

    Leslie Johnston

    Hibernian fell to a shock defeat in front of a full house

    According to Eddie Turnbull it was the worst case of biased refereeing he had ever witnessed in his whole career; blocking our players, awarding three penalties to the Swedes and even providing the pass for their third goal and waving play on

    Things began to go wrong when the crowd refused to return “our” heavy filly and we had to play with their light weight effort which was a big deal in those days

    The name Norrkoping would not be forgotten and Turnbull would have his revenge

    Norrkoping played a young centre forward Gunnar Nordahl who would become a Swedish legend making his name in Italy

    18/6/1967 North American League Match Day 6

    Toronto City 2 v 1 Chicago Mustangs

    Cormack
    Grant

    A goal in the first minute by Peter Cormack gave HIBS the lead against crack Italian Serie A side Cagliari

    Throughout the remainder of the first half the Italians were guilty of leaving the boot in and grabbing a handful of flesh as well as your jersey at set pieces They would kick and trip you off the ball when they thought the Ref wasn’t looking

    Things kicked off half way through the first half when an Italian full back was sent off for punching and head butting Jim Scott who once again found himself to be the unfortunate victim

    The Italian was followed into the Changing Room just before half time by Peter Cormack who was sent off for retaliating to the heavy handed treatment that was being handed out his way

    Cagliari equalised just after the re-start but things escalated with only seven minutes remaining. Pat Quinn took a quick free-kick to Colin Grant who wasted no time in burying the ball beyond the Italian goalkeeper for the winner

    The Referee was immediately surrounded by the Italian players who insisted that he hadn’t blown for the free-kick to be taken Courageously the Referee refused to change his decision and awarded the goal

    The Cagliari Manager instructed his players to leave the field of play Many of the fans in the 15000 crowd who were of Italian origin left their seats and they too entered the fray trying to get at the Referee

    After a long delay the Italian team still refused to come back onto the pitch and HIBS were awarded the points

    The headlines in the following days press would read “ Soccer Riot in Toronto “

    HIBS : Allan Duncan Davis Stanton Madsen Cousin Quinn Cormack Scott Stein and Stevenson

    Subs: McGraw and Grant
