Always thought Stevie Cowan was never the same player once Bobby Thompson was suspended and his purple patch stopped then.

Maybe talking pish though!

He got injured at the start of his second season iirc.

Bobby Thomson and Stevie Cowan never played in the same team

Cowan’s run came to an end when Gordon Juke Box Durie was sold to Chelsea for 325k in May ‘86

As another poster pointed out Jukebox was a fantastic player whose power and pace laid on a lot of goals for Cowan

Stevie Cowan also returned the favour by using his physical presence to create space for the Jukebox in the box

Gordon Chisholm is probably the closest that side had to a Bobby Thomson type player

Willie Irvine #1 only played in the same team as Stevie Cowan four times

Willie Irvine #2 only scored twice in 15 appearances and was moved on

Stevie Cowan only scored 4 goals for HIBS in 1986/87

He was transferred to Motherwell where he scored 11 : 51

His best spell coming at Portadown 66: 87 winning two Championships and scored the winning goal in the Irish Cup Final

Decent try though? Thought Steve Cowan would do the same the following season but from memory did he not score hardly any goals. Juke Box was some player though

Durie was laying them on a plate for Cowan. I told my mate that Cowan would be lucky to get into double figures without that service.

When Durie left Cowan was never as effective again. Stevie Cowan wasn’t exactly an athlete, but he was a good finisher. His partnership with George McCluskey was a bit less dynamic. Cowan took pelters from fans at time too.

Hearts tried to out muscle their rivals and indeed took an early lead This did not deter this excellent HIBS side who responded with a hat-trick from the wonderfully named Hamilton Handling to complete the League double over their Edinburgh rivals

And they claim football was much better in the olden days!

That match was a League double over Hearts the first game being a 1-0 victory at Easter Road on 25th October the goal scorer being that man Hamilton Handling

A second goal was disallowed as Hibernian took command

We are told that Hearts’ anxiety led to incidents of the ungentlemanly type which scarcely reflected to their credit five Hibernians being crippled

It was however a most welcome victory the Hibernian players were congratulated on all hands while the cheering was loud and long

Gordon Smith thumped the Swedish post when he anticipated a Combe back heeler Arvidsson then tipped a brilliant net bound Mulkerrin header over the crossbar

Just before the winning goal Combe through on goal brilliantly lobbed the goalkeeper only to see Edlund head the ball away from underneath the crossbar

Hibernian 5 v 0 Napoli ( Agg 6-4 )

Duncan 5

Cormack 66
Stanton 67
Stein 77

Hibs have known European triumphs but never one quite like this

Hibs had to win by three clear goals and concede none to knock the Italian League leaders out of the Fairs Cup.

In five minutes the fuse that lit this explosive tie was lit when fullback Bobby Duncan carried the ball forward into midfield and from 25 yards took everyone by surprise when he unleashed a thundering left foot shot that flashed past Italian international goalkeeper Dino Zoff in the Naples goal high into the net

Peter Cormack was then pulled down inside the box but the Referee only awarded an indirect free kick that was cleared

Pat Stanton then had a header from a Pat Quinn freekick brilliantly saved by Zoff

Alan McGraw then joined in the action with a powerful shot that was deflected past the post before Colin Stein had a shot cleared off the line by Bianchi

Naples were turning physical and in fairness to the Referee this did not go unnoticed as they continued to rack up fouls ( 23 in the first half).

With the pressure mounting on the Italian goal HIBS made the breakthrough their play deserved just before half-time. Stein made it by his sheer determination in carrying the ball almost to the Naples by-line and then cutting it across goal Zoff fumbled and Quinn racing in hit a hard low shot into the net off the upright

At half-time Napoli sacrificed an attacker for a defender but it was too little too late as HIBS now had their tails up

In the second half as HIBS kicked down the slope it was attack after attack

In 67 minutes Easter Road went radge Stein won a corner Alex Scott swung it well away from Zoff and Peter Cormack rose in the box jumping at least a foot higher than everyone else to send a header beyond the goalkeeper

Two minutes later the fans were singing “Easy Easy” as Pat Stanton headed home number four at the back post courtesy of another splendid Scott cross

Zoff then dropped on a header from Stein before Girardo was sent off for kicking out at Eric Stevenson when they were both lying on the ground in front of the Stand

In 79 minutes a Napoli clearance was intercepted and Stein was sent through on goal to complete the scoring
