14/9/1955 European Champions Cup

Rot Weiss Essen 0 v 4 Hibernian

Turnbull 2
Reilly
Ormond

Two goal Eddie Turnbull was the hero in HIBS’ victory over German Champions Rot-Weiss Essen.

Turnbull scored two goals and had a hand in a third.

The game was played in heavy rain which turned the pitch into a quagmire but the conditions didn’t worry HIBS. They were always on top and only poor finishing stopped them from piling on the goals Rot-Weiss were rarely seen in attack

Hibs opened the scoring on the 35th minute when Turnbull beat Fritz Herkenrath -the German international goalkeeper -with a low shot. Just before this Herkenrath had knuckled a hard shot from Willie Ormond over the bar

Rot-Weiss had a chance to equalise but outside right Roehrig shot wide. Ten minutes later Turnbull scored with a fine solo effort when he beat several defenders to notch his and Hibs’ second

Turnbull had a hand in HIBS’ third 11 minutes after the interval when he laid the ball on a plate for Lawrie Reilly to score from close range

Willie Ormond added a fourth in the 82nd minute

Gordon Smith added a fifth on the final whistle but this was disallowed the Referee saying he had already blown for full time

Eddie Turnbull became the first British player to score in European competition
