I can still clearly remember as a young boy the Scottish Cup replay against Arbroath in the 70s at Easter Road. I watched it from the old main stand with my late dad (a Jambo).

We scored early but then lost 2 goals within a couple of minutes of each other. Hibs pummelled Arbroath but just could not turn it around......still haunts me.

The Tornadoes were a thing of the past and the team and the club were on the decline.

Been to hundreds of Hibs games but this one somehow this game gives me a real shiver.
Arbroath punched above their weight for a long time in the seventies under the legend that was Albert Henderson. He took them in to the top flight and I think they spent a few seasons there. Some achievement for Arbroath and he will always be remembered as Arbroath’s best ever manager. Mind you, Dick Campbell is coming close to matching that success and any victory in the cup tie will be hard earned.
