I've normally got a great memory of ganes from my youth, and recall this game well - concerning that such a key event has been erased!

Struggled to find any footage of this game but remember it as being quite tense as were all Rangers games at that time

I still remember Chisholm’s header as though it was yesterday and I thought he was going to be a great player for us but the grass was greener in Dundee for whatever reason????

[ancient hibee]

I remember Bobby Johnstone's return against Kille for a number of reasons. First was the gasp from 20,000 people when Bobby appeared. To say he had put on weight was the understatement of the year. Second was the magical moment about a couple of minutes in when he dribbled around a couple of guys in the centre circle,leaving one on his backside,and while facing the left wing corner flag chipped the ball forty yards with his left foot down the right wing for Joe Baker who promptly fell over it in astonishment. Later in the game we had a free kick about 30 yards which Bobby was organising while Jimmy Brown,the Killie goalie,was sorting his defence.Unnoticed by anyone John Baxter came hurtling up the park and smashed the ball straight into the net. Bobby of course went on to lay on and score numerous goals over the next few months.Happy days.

Brilliant AH, I had an Uncle who worshipped Johnstone. What was the story about him being sick on the pitch? I think people assumed he had been out on the razz the night before. Would have to have seen him play, any Hibs player who can pick a pass as his reputation suggests gets my interest.

He was pretty well known for hitting the sauce and that was alleged to be the reason behind both his departures from Easter Road. The best midfield player I've seen at Hibs(i know we always prefer our heroes from when we were young).Could pass off either foot without looking and in such a way that players could take the ball in their stride. Also one of the select few to score 100 league goals on either side of the border.

Played 263 games for HIBS scoring 142

Played 138 games for Man City scoring 51

Played 158 games for Oldham Athletic scoring 38

So just fell short of 100 goals in competitive games down south

Played 17 times for Scotland scoring 10 goals no bad for a midfielder

Bobby was a wonderful player but as AH says he was seriously unfit on his return. He was helped however by having the pace & youth of Joe Baker up front. Bobby ambled around the centre circle, made some space then would hit a defence splitter into Joe's path & Joe usually did the rest. Great entertainment.

27/9/2001 UEFA Cup Round 1 Leg 2

Hibernian 3 v 2 AEK Athens ( Agg 3-4 )

Luna 2
Zitellii

HIBS had a mountain to climb after losing the first leg in Greece 0-2 against Greek cracks AEK at a sold out Easter Road

Hibs did the unthinkable on the night pulling two goals back through Paco Luna in the second half. The first when he headed in an Ian Murray flick on from a Ulysses De La Cruz cross off the underside of the bar. The second when with only nine minutes to go Ulrik Laursen headed on John O’Neil’s free kick and Luna slid in to knock the ball into the net. Luna missed a goalden opportunity to win the tie in injury time when he infamously failed to convert a diving header at the far post

Two minutes into extra time and first leg hero second half substitute Vassilis Tsartas lashed home a shot from 25 yards that silenced Easter Road. Just before the break he scored a second direct from a corner to pile on the agony

HIBS substitute David Zitelli scored a 35 yard screamer that can only be described as an Exocet with six minutes to go

The game is best remembered for Franck Sauzee booting the dug out when he had to come off injured after 80 minutes and probably the first and best ever rendition of Sunshine on Leith ever heard at Easter Road

St Johnstone’s goalscorers were Duncan Lambie and yes you’ve guessed it Jimmy O’Rourke who scored the only goal of the match for St Johnstone the last time he played at Easter Road for Saints

Man of the Match was Des Bremner who put in a typical action man performance


27/9/1972 European Cup Winners Cup Round One Leg 1

Hibernian 6 v 1 Sporting Lisbon ( Agg 7-3 )

O’Rourke 3
Gordon 2
Manaca og

All Scotland must salute Super HIBS. The Easter Road side in a night of magic gave full warning to the rest of Europe that they have well and truly arrived with a fantastic six hit performance over Sporting

The 26000 fans who roared themselves hoarse will never forget a second half that will go down in the history books. For HIBS took this Cup Winners Cup tie and their talented Portuguese opponents by the throat and converted a first leg 1-2 defeat into a magnificent triumph

Their courage was immense and in a tense first half they got the goal they so desperately needed another superb Alan Gordon header. Fate dealt HIBS a cruel blow right on the whistle for half time when a deflection off Referee Meannig sent Marinho racing away and his centre was easily converted by Portuguese superstar Yazalde to snatch a shock equaliser and valuable away goal

Shooting downhill second half HIBS seemed to have a mountain to climb but encouraged by one of Eddie Turnbull’s famous half time pep talks and roared on by their fans they stormed back with scintillating soccer

In just eight minutes of soccer magic Sporting’s European Cup Winners Cup dream lay in tatters

Three minutes after the restart Jimmy O’Rourke raced on to a Gordon head flick to blast the ball past Damas. As the Easter Road crowd roared HIBS on Gordon struck again. An Arthur Duncan cross found him soaring above the Portuguese defence and Damas was beaten to the world. Another four minutes and HIBS were undoubtedly back in the European big time. John Brownlie who minutes earlier had hit a 35 yarder against a post flicked a through ball for O’Rourke to step in and score from close range.

Ten minutes from time Arthur Duncan was brought down inside the box by a frustrated Gomes and Jimmy O’Rourke stepped up to complete his hat-trick from the spot

To complete a night of misery with only seconds to go Portuguese superstar Manaca turned a Duncan shot past his own keeper for an own goal

To say HIBS were magnificent would be an understatement this result was a declaration of intent by Hibernian Football Club and sent shock waves throughout Europe

After a 3-3 draw at Easter Road Manager Hugh Shaw decided on a change of tactics sitting in deep and hitting the Portuguese on the counterattack.

The tactics worked a treat and HIBS survived a torrid encounter as the Portuguese grew more and more frustrated and became more physical John Baxter hitting two and Eric Stevenson scoring a late superb diving header

This Luna chance at the end changes every time I read about it on here. It wasn't a diving header at all. Its at 4.40 on the video below

I'd be blaming Colgan far more than Luna. Very poor on both their goals.

Hibernian 3 v 2 St Johnstone

Sproule
O’Connor 2 (1 pen)

A fine game in which HIBS secured their first home win since February.

A late Cillian Sheridan strike for the Saints gave a false impression to the score line and detracted from Hibs’ overall superiority in this game

Hibs took the lead on 17 minutes when Ivan Sproule shot home following good work by Junior Agogo. St Johnstone equalised through future HIBS Captain Liam Craig whose shot on goal entered the net via the inside of the post. HIBS regained the lead on 37 minutes when Garry O’Connor found himself surrounded in the box but the ball fell invitingly for him and he fired the ball low and powerfully into the net from 16 yards

Into the second half and 15 minutes in O’Connor was bundled over in the box by David McCracken and O’Connor stepped up and converted the penalty kick

Sheridan scored a fine individual effort for Saints with two minutes remaining

What I remember about it is just what you say. Chased him for ages and he scored goals for fun for St Johnstone before us. He didn't look good for us although I think he may have scored in his handful of games. We met him go and he went in to score for fun again for I think Stirling and maybe someone else.

A disastrous start to the season saw Alex Miller resign as Hibernian Manager following an easy 3-1 victory for Hearts at Easter Road after almost 10 years at the helm

A devisive character amongst HIBS fans he brought many good players to Easter Road won a League Cup during a difficult time in our history but was criticised for his defensive tactics and managerial style

Leading 3-2 from the first leg Eddie Turnbull was taking no chances and fielded his strongest team against the Norwegians but in a fast start to the game Odd Iversen eluded his marker and fired his team ahead after 15 minutes

With the crowd stunned now that the aggregate was 3-3 HIBS showed their spirit and their skill.

In 19 minutes Joe Harper equalised with a superbly taken goal. In 20 minutes Iain Munro put HIBS ahead with another first class effort and in 22 minutes Rosenborg knew it was all over when Harper headed a third

From then on it was a procession but the goals were well planned and clinically executed that is if you excuse HIBS’ fourth a lob by Munro that spun out of goalkeeper Thunshell’s hands. Pat Stanton added a fifth to make the half-time score 5-1.

The fans chanted for 7 and they got it too when Alex Cropley scored twice from the penalty spot

The Yugoslavs proved to be a better and more determined team than the side HIBS had beaten 3-0 so comprehensively in Belgrade and they shocked the Easter Road side when Popivoda scored after only 4 minutes.

For a while Olimpija were the much better team but HIBS began to claw their way back into the game

As the Yugoslavs grew more and more frustrated they began to hack and kick at our most skilful players Marinello, Cormack and Stevenson and this was ultimately to cost them the game

Midway through the second half HIBS were awarded a penalty for hand ball in the box a decision that was hotly disputed by the Yugoslavs and the game was held up for several minutes

Once order was restored Joe Davis coolly dispatched the spot kick into the net

This proved to be the catalyst for the Yugoslavs to once again surround the Referee and push and shove him.

Minutes later Jovanovic was sent off for the latest of several savage fouls on Peter Marinello

The culptrit was hardly off the pitch when Eric Stevenson was pulled down inside the box by Kokot leaving the Referee no option but to award a second penalty of the evening

This time there were no protests and Davis duly stepped up and dispatched the penalty past the Yugoslav keeper

3/10/1885 Scottish Cup Round 2

Hibernian 2 v 1 Hearts

James McGhee 2

Hibernian had a bye in the first round of the Scottish Cup and in the second round on 3rd October they had a home tie against a fast improving Hearts.

The Holy Ground was packed and at half-time Hearts had taken a one goal lead.

The second half saw a 40 yard throw out by the Hearts keeper land at the feet of James McGhee and he coolly lofted the ball back over the keeper’s head

The game now became fast and furious and the partisan shouts of the crowd rose to a crescendo as McGhee hammered home the winner

Porto 3 v 1 Hibernian ( Agg 3-4)

Davis pen

Defending a 3-0 lead from the first leg things looked rosy for HIBS when Joe Davis converted a penalty in only two minutes after Colin Stein had been fouled inside the box. Cue pushing and shoving of the Referee by the Portuguese players immediately after the award

With 10 minutes remaining of the first half Peter Cormack was sent off following a melee with his immediate marker who had punched Cormack in the face after not being happy with one of his tackles. Once again the Referee was surrounded by unhappy Porto players and both players eventually saw red

Into the second half and Porto scored two goals on the hour in quick succession to change the whole complexion of the game. The Portuguese were pressing forward in numbers and scored a third through Valdir with twenty minutes remaining but a much relieved HIBS side managed to hold on

Neil Martin 2

Joe McBride opened the scoring for Celtic with a header after 8 minutes from an offside position a fact confirmed by TV coverage later that evening. Neil Martin added two to put HIBS ahead the first a header from a Jim Scott cross the second a low drive from an Eric Stevenson cut back on the hour

Hibs were starting to play some fantastic stuff but just could not add to their lead. Into injury time and as is so often the case Tommy Gemmell overlapped down the right wing skipped past a few desperate challenges sent over a cross cum shot that cannoned off Willie Wilson and fell nicely at the feet of Bobby Lennox who fired home the equaliser to take the game into extra time

There was no further scoring and the players would have to do it all again

In the LC semi we were 2-1 up with seconds to go. Jim Scott had the ball on the touchline about half way & was holding it up. The Celtc players couldn't get it off him so Tommy Gemmell lost the rag & booted Jim on to the track. While Hibs waited for the free kick a Celtc player grabbed the ball & threw it down the line to Gemmell on the left wing not the right, & Lennox scored. Probably the worst decision I have ever seen. We lost the replay 4-0, big John was sent off & booted Jock Stein on his way up the tunnel!

OK! We will go with the left wing 😃

The replay was Neil Martin’s last game for HIBS

No prizes for guessing who the Referee was?
