    I feel blessed that I used to watch them regularly, when I was young I never realised how good the were, just thought Hibs would always have players of their quality, ah well if only.
    Lets just get right behind the boys we have now, McGinn will grow in confidence with more games & who knows about Doig? To early to call yet, he may be the next star man! it does happen.
    I'm with you 100%. I too grew up watching the Tornadoes and took it for granted that we would always have such talent at our disposal.
    I recall also a young Des Bremner breaking through during the early 70's and even he struggled to get regular game time such was the quality of players he was up against.
    Young Hibbies probably think we old uns are exaggerating the quality of the side that Eddie Turnbull assembled.

    As you say a very talented side although strangely enough the full backs settled in before Eddie arrived.

    Its not so much the goals they scored its the contribution to the team they brought.
    Shades was fitness personified, hard athletic....Brownie was more cultured, and scored more goals.
    Both played for Scotland at some point in their careers.
    I thought shades was great to watch...Hard as ****.
    They were immense, what a joy to watch.

    Eddie Turnbull added Herriot, Gordon and Edwards.

    He also added Des Bremner from Deveronvale who took John Brownlie’s place on the day the music died - a future European Cup Winner.

    Bobby Smith and Iain Munro were decent as well.

    Difficult to explain to younger posters exactly how good that side was - should have won more - but probably best summed when a poster responded to my many rants last season when he said “ let’s
    face it the Tornadoes ain’t coming back! “

    Now we're talking: The best full back pairing in my lifetime.
    Before that it was Duncan and Davis and before that Fraser and Parke although that’s stretching the memory a bit⚽️🤒

    We have solid full backs, would still like an upgrade on McGinn but in this climate I can’t see it. It’s brilliant Doig is getting a chance and you can see the hunger from Lewis when he came on as he’s a challenge now.

    We’ve had worse but we’ve had better.

    Long for the days of Lovering, Prenderville, McQuilken and Shannon
    Harsh on Lovering and Prenderville there, they did a decent job helping get us out the first division.

    Lovering was fantastic until injury hit. Overshadowed by Derek Collins, the most underrated Hibs player there’s been.

    So I’ve heard from my old man and uncle. Did they not score a ridiculous number of goals as well?
    John Brownlie scored a fair number of goals and it wasn't unusual to bag a brace. Erich I can't remember him scoring at all but probably got one or two. He was a long throw specialist though.

    We'll be all right. Our full backs are never going to be Maldini and Cafu; it's Hibs. Let's see how we go; perhaps we'll see a new signing.

    scored at darkheid in replay of game abandoned because of fog and the unwashed invading the pitch as we were winning 2-0. Rearranged game ended 1-1.

    I remember a Scottish Cup tie at ‘Firhill for Thrills’ Erich launched one of his trade mark long throws deep into the box the ball was cleared back out to him and he hit it first time on the volley straight into the back post postage stamp corner giving the goalie no chance

    The first goal in a 2-0 win the late great Alan Gordon scoring the other the first of only five goals Shades scored for us in 434 appearances

    RIP

    I was at the 2-0 game when the Celtic supporters invaded the pitch to waste time so the fog got worse, Im sure that the win would have taken us to the top of the league.

    You'll probably take a lot of stick for your post Hibiza but for what its worth I agree with you and more. We still need a better centre half than what we have and all of our full backs are poor. A fully fit Gray would help but we haven't improved our defence in recent years. Whilst I'm happy with the win yesterday I think Killie will feel hard done by as Tam McManus said on his Twitter account. I know McGinn is on a contract but I wish we'd went for O'Donnell. Left back has been an ongoing problem....Doig may well be a prospect but from what I saw yesterday nowhere near ready. I worry about our back four or indeed a three for this season....still hasn't been addressed for me
    Nowhere near ready are you for real? It was the young lads debut and he done absolutely fine, no idea what you think you’ve seen in that period to say that?

    Very good point. Their goal was from an unstoppable brilliant free kick. I think we defended very well.

    Pretty sure we won 2 0 in semi Alex Edwards scored second goal I think.

    I liked the look of the killie full back Mullin (I think his name was) got forward very well and delivered some excellent crosses. I think McGinn is sturdy and a good pro but in games at Easter Road where we should dominate the ball more I would like to see someone with a bit more attacking threat.

    Could I put a good word in for Grant and McLelland not to mention Govan and Paterson.

    I feel dirty just by adding to this ludicrous thread but Bobby Duncan, Willie Miller, Graeme Mitchell, Alan Sneddon etc etc were all good quality professionals doing a fine job for the team. Not everyone can be a John Brownlie.

    I was impressed with McGinn on Saturday. Did all the basics really well and won a good tackle to set up the 2nd goal. Doig is young but appears to have bags of talent. I just hope he gets a run of games to properly settle into the team.
