One of the few bright spots in an otherwise drab mid-1980s Hibs and stayed with us till the mid 90s.
Happy Birthday Joe

Loved Joe, had a hard time from certain sections of the support which he didn't deserve . Gave 100% every time he played.

His goal vs Stenhousemuir was an absolute peach. That game was beamed back live to Murrayfield ice rink if I recall correctly.

Joe loved it and so did the sparse Hibs away support in the Beach End enjoying big celebrations.
Happy Birthday Super Joe.

Found this under 'Super Joe Tortolano (Hibernian FC)' on YouTube -

Hated the odd spectacular goal, did Joe, eh !!
Just noticed, on Joe's Wikipedia-page, somebody's (a Jambo most likely !) f*****d about with it - anyone who can get into Wikipedia' and amend it ?Last edited by Deansy; 06-04-2020 at 10:53 PM.

Always amazes me the love-in Joe gets on here.
The boy was hounded by the vast majority of fans when he played for us.
It's a pity people didn't show him the respect then as they seen to want to do now. He could have been a magnificent player for us if we had given him the backing his talent deserved.

If you mean this...
"where they regularly threw pies at the fat wee man "
...that's it removed :)

Agree used to take pelters regularly from a section of the support but always just put his head down and got on with it a wand of a left foot and could put over a mean cross
Never gave less than 100%
Came up from West Brom looking for a club first stop was Tinycastle second stop Easter Road to meet John Blackley and said he just felt at home here and this was the place for him
Still dunno what he was doing with the tackle on Strachan versus Man Utd IIRC he had been out of the team for a while and might have been a bit ring rusty

He fits the 'cult hero' status that seems to have now been bestowed upon him!

Best crosser of the ball we had and Miller instructed him not to go over the half way line.
The most boring manager we ever had.

Me and my mate went to Brechin for a cup game in the 80s. We got in early and sober and stood at the half way line leaning on the barrier. For those who haven't been there, the players were only a few feet away from the fans. Shortly after kick-off we were surrounded by a large bunch of drunken *******s who gave Joe T abuse everytime he ran past us. It was really nasty persona stuff and twice Joe told them to F*** off under his breath. Midway through the first half Joe spotted his chance when a 50/50 presented itself and he booted the ball as hard as he could into the group. Unfortunately it hit my mate square on the face, knocking his specks off and leaving the imprint of the ball which lasted several days. We won 2-0 if memory serves but I still laugh thinking about it.

IIRC Celtic were playing at Montrose the same day and the local bizzies were tarring us with the same brush when they saw the green and white scarves

Totally agree with you - he was a far better winger than a defender !. Funnily enough I feel the same way about Lewis - I think he's far better in his original position - midfield - than in defence !

When he was St Mirren manager their fans started singing some of the more bigoty chants favoured by Rangers fans. Miller went out his way to ask them to stop Always admired him for that My opinion on the football played while he was manager of Hibs has nothing to do with his Rangers days and you should think twice when saying such things.
