Very sad, RIP Pat. Scored 2 against Dundee Utd in my first "big team" game. Colin Stein got the other in a 3-0 win.

The game was on 12th Nov 1966 Vrs Clyde in a 5-1 defeat.

Remember that season, 66/7 being the first when subs were allowed. Was only seven so my memory is not remotely perfect but still have happy memories of those days of rosettes, tammies and scarves and planting ourselves at the centre-line down at the trackside. Appreciate the historical fact. And really sorry to see another of those seemingly giant players passed on.

If memory serves me correctly I’m sure he had a spell as assistant manager with Hibs when Bertie Auld was manager. Ironically not a period of scintillating football when you consider how skilful both these guys were in their playing days. A great player nevertheless.

So sorry to hear of his passing. One of the players that made me proud to be a Hibs fan in my early years.

Come on without, Come on within
You'll not see nothing like the Mighty Quinn

Before my time but you can tell PQ was quite a player.

Hat trick at tinycastle? That will do on its own.

RIP.

The mighty Quinn was one of my first heroes when I was taken as young boy to games

His 3rd goal, was, in the modern parlance, a worldy!. 3.-1 up & time running out, Eric Stevenson was taking the p**s. He was out on the right wing attacking the school end & he kept doing stepovers, pull backs etc. He had about 3 Hearts players snapping at his heels. He put his foot under the ball & tried to lob it to Pat. A hearts player got his head to it & it came back to Eric. He adjusted his sights & lobbed it a foot higher. Pat met it on the corner of the box on the full & it tore into the opposite rigging just under the bar. A truly wonderful goal from a great character.

Exactly right.I was in the enclosure behind Pat and you could see as the ball left his foot just where it would end up.He was a hard wee devil.He got sent off at Easter Road along with,I think,Willie McLean(or Jim)when they had a boxing match-super flyweight.After that dreadful day against East Fife he was asked for a comment”what’s the matter the goodies won at the end”!

A wonderful memory posted by Brog on that Tynie game.
Eric the Rebel "teasing" the Hertz defence.Something he did regularly .

Pat, older fans will recall, was also part of one of Motherwell's finest forward lines.

An inside trio of Quinn Ian St John and Willie Hunter
(Willie would also come to ER)

Strangely enough i was chatting to Jimmy O at the weekend.
Speaking about Hibs tour of the USA and the good sides we had under Bob Shankly.

Hibs during Shankly's time played some fine football and Pat was integral to that.
This period was a time we qualified for Europe a few times.
History is history and what might have been.
Had Bob been allowed to develop the team rather than Hibs selling our best players we might not be talking Turnbull's Tornadoes"
Bob left because of this.

Pat was very much a General in what our team achieved during his years at The Holy Ground

Along with Eric Stevenson, Pat was my favourite player of that era

Manfred Mann had the number one chart hit "The Mighty Quinn"
Could very well have been written for Pat.
Pat would be a revelation in the current Hibernian team.

Condolences to his family

Rest in Peace The Mighty Quinn

Thanks for the memories

Great recall and memories Brog, cheers.

This....couldn't have worded it better, he lived the dream.
(Has anyone else scored a hat-trick at Tynie ?)

[hughio]

My (fading) memory is of a very compact, tidy, elegant player who linked that 60's team well and could thread a pass through to our strikers.

RIP.

I'm sure game was on highlights but can't recall seeing it after that time. Strangely I remember Pat's 2nd well also, I think it was a Peter Cormack shot pushed out & Pat slid rebound home but i have no memory of the other 2 goals.

I've told this story before but worth retelling in the circumstances. Pat's hat trick at Tiny was first time he had scored in 2 years. We waited for him outside & my mate asked him if it was his 1st hat trick. Son, I'm seek of scoring them he replied!

Never thought of him as a goalscorer but he had a great record for the Mothers, averaging almost a goal every two games.

[Bostonhibby]

Just read a wee bit about him, great player for the club.

RIP The Mighty Quinn.

His left, or ours?

Joe Davis is immediately to his left, and I think John Baxter.

To our left, Willie Hamilton (looking a lot like STF, I have to say )..... and...

Thanks very much for that ,much appreciated friends,cheers

[Tom Hart RIP]

It was Pat that set up Willie Hamilton for his wonder goal at Tynecastle on New Year’s Day 1965.
Willie took a quick free kick in left wing. Slid the ball to Pat who held it then split the Hearts defence for Willie to run on to.

[where'stheslope]

Remember back in the day of Hibs and Hearts fans going with each others ground on match day, Pat was loved by both sets of fans for his skill on the ball!
Saying that, he was hated when he played against Hearts, as he always seemed to pull out a trick or two, especially against them!!!
RIP Pat.
