The greatest game in history and every hibby that was there will never forget it

It remains Hearts’ record home league defeat to this day only matched by Celtic in the Scottish Cup in 2013

It was the sort of performance every supporter dreams about

Every HIBS player was at the peak of their game

There was the dashing of the full backs John Brownlie and Erich Schaedler

There was the complete mastery of the midfield : the industry and drive of Pat Stanton the virtuosity of Alex Cropley and complementing them Alex Edwards whose special qualities reminded us how few players can really pass the ball well

On the left the speed of Arthur Duncan was devastating

In the middle the forceful Alan Gordon who won every ball in the air, challenged with determination and embarrassed those who had discarded him and Jimmy O’Rourke who like a hungry dog snapped for any crumbs

Not forgetting Scotland international goalkeeper Jim Herriot and Jim Black and John Blackley at the back who snuffed out and swept up everything Hearts had to offer in attack after an initial flurry when Hearts could easily have scored

On the day that the UK joined the EEC HIBS had to win by six clear goals to overtake Celtic at the top of the Scottish First Division

The green machine just kept going forwards sheer football delight

Sorry to be pedantic, Billy, but if you were in the Gorgie Rd end at a derby in 1984, it was Hibs fans only...

...as it was full segregation at that point and that was the Hibs end.

Jamie Walker equalised with a long range strike to maintain Hearts’ superb unbeaten start to the campaign

HIBS can consider themselves fortunate to escape with a victory here

HIBS raced into a first half lead through Garry O’Connor and Stephen Dobbie but Thistle came right into the game in the second half through goals from James Grady and a fortunate second when Daniel Andersson punched the ball off Madaschi’s head into the unguarded net

With Thistle looking the more likely Stephen Whittaker grabbed the winner with 6 minutes to go when he fired home from the edge of the box

To sum up Thistle’s luck Fleming hit the crossbar in the last minute

After defeating Hearts 3-1 at Tiny on New Years Day 33000 fans rolled up at Easter Road expecting more of the same but the Motherwell side were no pushovers as it contained Ancell’s Babes Pat Quinn Willie Hunter Ian St John and John Martis among others

24 hours after losing to Hearts 1-2 in front of 65000 HIBS travelled to Aberdeen and despite Aberdeen having the best of the first half HIBS eventually overcame them to turn out convincing winners

Eddie Turnbull missed a penalty that he hit with that much force that when it hit the post the ball did not bounce until it reached the halfway line
