Yes does look similar to George. His profile on the site said he had gone to Gilmerton primary.

Pretty sure Ralph scored in the famous Paddy 5 o'clock equaliser game.

He did 25 yarder IIRC

I was on my second pint in the Tiny Arms when Paddy’s offside header went in

I always thought the five forwards against Valencia was a line of inside forwards,they could all play there.

In an alternative universe Turnbull signed George Stewart and Alan Rough at the start of the 73-74 season and Hibernian blasted there way to a first championship in 22 years. Cropley stayed and became a legendary one team player at Hibs. Gordon and O'Rourke continued as a lethal partnership for several more seasons.

WTF was Eddie Turnbull thinking of when he signed the barrel? Beggars belief really.

The tactics they played that night has become the norm for a lot of Scottish club's performances. A drab way to approach football. The style get's praised by the Sportsound team regularly too.

Pretty grim few weeks for the Hibs. Between that and the Celtic/Juventus/Celtic week for being the worst let-down in my time supporting Hibs (given it was so long ago, I'll add that my expectations have lessened since.)

There is a report on fitbastats from Atlantahibs said it was his first HIBS game it was a scorcher he sat on a crush barrier in the Cave the whole game and his big brother held onto him so he wouldn’t fall

He had the perfect view of Pat Stanton’s headed goal and Bobby Duncan punching his header off the line

After that he was hooked

Johnstone 3

Lawrie Reilly was out injured and Bobby Combe took over at #9 but Bobby Johnstone was determined to show what he could do

Johnstone was a revelation and he opened the scoring after 20 minutes when he lobbed the keeper after taking a nice pass from Turnbull. After the break Ormond soon made it two and then Johnstone scored the goal of the game. Looking up he saw that his forward colleagues were offside so he ran through on his own holding off three challenges before sliding the ball into the net. Turnbull then missed a penalty but a fourth goal from Johnstone ensured that the return leg would be a formality
