I was thinking of it on Saturday as last year a bunch of us were at Sandown watching the Tingle Creek. We celebrated after racing in fine fashion in a pop up champagne bar which had no champagne & soon after, no wine!

8/12/1969 Friendly Challenge Match

Hibernian 1 v 2 Gornik Zabrze

Cormack pen

HIBS took on Polish cracks Gornik at Easter Road due to a gap in the fixture list

Gornik were a decent side they were top of their League and had defeated Rangers 3-1 at Ibrox day’s earlier

Their side included future Polish World Cup stars Lubanski, Olek and Gorgon

The game is probably best remembered for Erich Schaedler making his debut as a half-time sub for Johnny Hamilton clattering into midfield general Peter Cormack with a typically robust high octane tackle at 100mph resulting in the #10 being carried off on a stretcher

This incident happened within minutes of Schaedler coming on and Cormack escaped with a badly bruised leg

Erich Schaedler (Shades) went on to become a Hibernian legend spending two spells at the club playing 434 games scoring 5 goals winning a Scottish League Cup being capped by Scotland and only being sent off the once

8/12/1877 Scottish Cup Round 4

Thornliebank 1 v 2 Hibernian

Hibernian won this game in Pollockshaws but the home team put in a protest on the grounds that they had scored a perfectly good goal that the Referee had deemed to be offside

The SFA upheld their appeal and a replay was ordered

Hibernian were furious because they had previously lost an appeal themselves being told at the time that the Referee’s decision is always final

There was a bitter feeling that the SFA’s decision had been motivated by anti-Irish prejudice but Father Hannan calmed things down and told his players to prepare for the replay

The match was replayed on 8th December near Lady Road and the game finished 2-2

The SFA had previously ruled that in the event of a draw both teams would progress to the next round

I have to admit if asked I'd have thought shades would have been sent off more than once. Always fully committed and a far better footballer than many gave him credit for.

Hibernian 2 v 1 Celtic

Stanton 60

The Pat Stanton Final

Hibs finally got a deserved revenge for the 6-1 humiliation in May at Hampden with an outstanding performance

Skipper Pat Stanton inspiring his team from midfield instigating wave after wave of attack with his driving runs leading by example scoring the first and laying on the second for his old Holy Cross Academy pal Jimmy O’Rourke

Hibs had chances to add to their score with Billy McNeil clearing a drive off the line from Alan Gordon and even although King Kenny pulled one back for the champions in 73 minutes HIBS held out for a deserved victory

After the match Celtic Manager Jock Stein personally stood and congratulated every HIBS player and shook each one by the hand as they left the field

Probably the highlight of my HIBS supporting career a brilliant performance against a very good Celtic side

Scottish Cup win as well of course

9/12/1970 Inter Cities Fairs Cup Round 3 Leg 1

Hibernian 0 v 1 Liverpool

Hibs had replaced Willie MacFarlane before kick-off with former Man City Coach Dave Ewing

Top scorer Joe McBride was relegated to the bench and fans’ favourite Johnny Graham was nowhere to be seen

HIBS started well and were denied a stonewall penalty when Larry Lloyd blatantly pulled back Kenny Davidson inside the box The Referee ignored furious claims from the HIBS players and fans and waved play on

Hibs had chances to score but ultimately they came to nothing

The fans got their wish and Joe McBride was introduced with half an hour remaining After five minutes Arthur Duncan bulleted home a header from an Eric Stevenson cross but the goal was unfairly disallowed as the Referee claimed that Joe McBride had fouled Ray Clemence in the build up to the goal a claim McBride later denied in the dressing room after the game

On 75 minutes going down the slope Steve Heighway used his searing pace to hit the byline a low hard ball across goal a slip by Jim Black “Toshack!” 1-0 Liverpool

It was the first time Eddie Turnbull had been sent off in his career

League Cup final 1972. Coming so soon after that horrible Scottish Cup final..... what a victory for the Hibees. So fitting that it was KIng Paddy and Jimmy O'Rourke who got the goals that made the difference

I remember listening on the radio to it and the house going mental at the final whistle. My auld ma ( she was some woman) ended up in the North British hotel that night and returned home with Pat Stanton 's signature in large felt tip right down her arm.

That was a golden period of football for me. Games v Sporting Lisbon, Fc Besa, the cup final and then the Ayr Utd 8-1 game. All leading us to the greatest game in history. I was only a laddie, but those days are etched on my Hibernian consciousness forever.

[Argylehibby]

I was at the game, taken there by my celtic supporting uncle along with his son, also a big celtic fan. When he dropped me back at my house and my parents asked how I'd behaved he explained that they were lucky i hadn't been kicked out the car on the way back because I had gone on and on about how great Hibs had been and in particular about Jimmy O'Rourkes goal.

Durie was a great young player and strong for his age without the extra fitness coaching.

Unfortunately, like most decent young Hibs players, he was soon sold and left for Chelsea at the end of that season.

My memory is of him limping at the half way line in his last couple of games when the big clubs were hovering

If the ball came anywhere near him he would be off after it at a rate of knots but you always felt he wouldn’t be at HIBS long

Any time he is asked about his time at HIBS he always has good things to say
