Tribute to Absent Friends

[Libby Hibby]

It was a beautiful tribute.

It featured my wife who passed last October. She would’ve been mortified that her face was on the big screens.

GGTTH.

Too hard to watch, had to stop. Prayers for them all and thinking of all those who are missing them.

I saw it at the game and it was very moving. I think they could have replayed it at half time as I expect a lot of fans may have missed it.

Deepest condolences to all those that lost someone.

Agree with this. I was hoping it would be replayed at half time.

[BroxburnHibee]

Very very moving. Glad the club have introduced this.

[CraigHibee]

lovely tribute, hard to watch and definitely hit me in the feels.

Was late getting into match missed it , watched a couple of times last night and again this morning.
Great initiative by the club , recognised a few faces .
Very emotional watch , each picture having its own story behind it . Sad seeing how many people gone far too soon.
Despite all the moans / groans and disagreements we may have with each other or the club we are all part of a special unique family , the Hibs family

Condolences to everyone who has lost someone .RIP to all that have passed. To the Angels high above. 💚

It was extremely moving and like you, I was stuck by how young some people were when they departed. It puts football into context.

R.I.P to my darling sister, a fine Hibernian, you were in my thoughts as I watched this. Gone, but never forgotten.

Assume time was an issue. Did it not last 15 mins.

Just bawled my eyes out watching that, beautiful. R.I.P Dad who passed away listening to the derby win in April on the radio xxx Love to everyone who has lost someone 💚

Very moving

That’s an emotional watch. Recognise a few faces from the decades without actually knowing them.

But Pat Devine and family (brother Tam) stayed opposite us at Fernieside Cres in the 60’s - and as a wee Hibs daft laddie I used to go and get their rolls and papers every Sunday morning whilst they slept off the night before. Mary the mum used to let me keep the change and Pat snr used to give me the match programme from the day before. Great family, great days 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

Thanks for sharing that mate, means a lot. Have sent to my family not on .net as they'll love it. Paddy/Pat Snr missed 2016 by a few months but my grandad Pat was at Hampden that day with us and it was special & even more so after his passing last year. Tam still going strong!

Thank you & Glory Glory.

RIP to everyone. Real lump in the throat stuff and tear in the eye.

Agree 100%. Somehow wonderful but upsetting at the same time. I struggled a bit at the end when 2 friends for over 60 years, Big Frank and Jim O appeared. Huge kudos to our club.
PS, what is 2nd song?

My pleasure mate. Pretty sure I have a few grainy pics of your grandad Pat and Paddy snr with my dad at a Hibs POTY away back in the late 70’s with the likes of Joe Baker and other ex and current players in them. And I definitely have one of Paddy snr and my mum at Hampden just an hour or two before the 1991 Cup Final, when we bumped into him. I’m on holiday just now but give me a couple of weeks and although I’m hopeless at these things, I’ll try and work out how to PM them to you.

Always find these difficult to watch, so many lives lost at too early an age. What I did find so heart warming was the number of lost hibees that managed to see us lift the Scottish Cup and share that incredible day with the people they loved. Just wonderful memories for those of us left behind.

Of all the things wrong at our club right now this is the one thing they get 100 percent right.
Its a guaranteed tear jerker for me when it's shown at ground.

Yes very emotional and brilliantly done

[Hibby70]

Means I have to go now. My recently departed dad getting one last laugh in.

[Since452]

That got to me. A reminder that life is very short.

[CockneyRebel]

Wow .... so many people and so many young ones. RIP and God bless.
