4 years as a player with over a 100 appearances for Hibs and around 9 years working at the club in numerous roles . Think it's fair to say he's a right good Hibby .

Indeed 4-1
DH got the score correct,though
Info from Eddie's wiki page
...........May returned to boyhood club Hibernian in August 2014 when he became their academy coaching manager.
He was put in caretaker charge of the Hibernian first team in January 2019, after Neil Lennon was suspended by the club.
May said that he was not interested in becoming a manager again because he had not enjoyed that role at Falkirk.
May took charge of four games until Paul Heckingbottom was appointed head coach.
May was again placed in caretaker charge in November 2019, after Heckingbottom was sacked.
He managed one game during this spell, a 4–1 win at St Johnstone.

He says he always wanted to be part of a winning Hibs side in a Derby - he did more than that - he scored a fantastic peachy winner vs Hearts at ER - 2-1 I Think the score was. I remember it vividly as I was in the wrong end that day (don't ask - never again!) and had the dubious pleasure of watching Eddie score right in front of me and watching the Hibs end going mental while being unable to join in due to being surrounded by knuckle dragging Yam-tards!
Any statos have details of that game? Don't think any footage survives.

My earliest derby memory is Eddie sliding in to score the winner at Easter Rd before Hearts went on their big unbeaten run against us.

Who put the ball in the jambos net?

A poplar tune for a short while when I was a youngster.
He took charge of the team in between Lennon and Heckingbottam as well. 3-1 win away to St Mirren, then I think losses to Aberdeen and Celtic. Mind him being very keen to emphasise that he was very uncomfortable in the job!

Eddie was a quality player, was disappointed when we sold him. Was excellent for Falkirk and Motherwell when he came back up the road as well.Last edited by Stevie Reid; 23-03-2023 at 03:28 PM.

That is appalling. Truly and utterly appalling. The sooner a Saudi comes in and we wipe the floor with them constantly the better.

Although both Hibs goals were scored at the bottom of the slope shooting into the cowshed before half time, so not sure the goal would have been right in front of you basehibby?
I remember seeing lots of fighting in the away end that day, assuming Hibs casuals had got tickets for that end.

might try it someday. Although we’d have to actually win a derby to make it worthwhile. And that doesn’t happen so much these days

Was looking for footage of Eddie May's derby winner , can't find anything on it though did find a goal he scored at Ibrox in I think what was a 1-1 draw . Who put the ball in the rangers net .

Scored the winner v Celtic in The Scottish Cup 4-3 game IIRC. Magnificent game.

I was about to link same video
Now it seem this was filmed from the top of dugout/tunnel with Hibs own hollywood film crew at the time
The head groundsman was interviewed after the game and was delighted as to the condition of the pitch saying he thinks the potato crop will be a good one.
It also seems the Cave was once again boycotted as a protest to increased admission prices.Many in there sneaked in that day .
Celtic fans had previous for invading pitches when they got beat.
Sometimes before game had finished !!
A ploy to get games abandoned !
Like a wedding poor out at the end .The stewards filling their pockets wae coins.
Eddie's recollection

Was in the East the day Eddie May rose from the bench to score that glorious diving header to make it 4-3 against the overconfident Smellies
The limbs and the sway took me away from my mates and this old guy grabbed me and declared
‘ Eddie May a star is born!’
Also remember the Celtic fans’ mini pitch invasion at the full time whistle

I’m talking about total domination to overcome what is an appalling, but not defining of course, record we have in this fixture.
I can think of Lennon winning three derbies out of how many and with how many defeats I do not know.
Ok maybe not Saudi, somewhere else with lots of money to turn us into league winners and consistent Hearts destroyers.

I remember Eddie May scoring in a 2-1 win over Hearts at ER in 1987 and in a 1-0 win over Hearts in January 1989 with one of his trade mark late runs into the box to slot the ball behind Henry Smith cue scenes in a jam packed East
The last time we beat them in quite some time IIRC and the last game I attended with my dear old Dad
I can still picture him getting swept away in a sea of green and white
