It’s amazing how many times I’ve looked at teams on this thread and the forward players fill me with great memories, whereas more often than not, the defenders and/or keeper bring back haunting memories. Really is “The Hibs Way”. Certainly in my lifetime.

I hear ye but even although Jim Leighton had his moments he was capped 22 times and Captained Scotland whilst still a HIBS player it is the other goalkeepers since then I am more worried about

I didn’t mean Leighton to be honest. I quoted that post due to the strikers being my heroes growing up with Darren Dodds and Michael Renwick in defence. (I’m sure they’re good guys).

Generally in my lifetime, the good teams have been let down by a poor defence/keeper. Mowbray’s team being prime example. McLeish’s team possibly being the exception.

Hibernian 2 v 0 Motherwell

McNulty pen 19
Gray 39


Paul Heckingbottom’s HIBS extended their unbeaten run in the Scottish Premiership to five games with a superb performance against Motherwell

Marc McNulty celebrated his Scotland call up with a penalty when his shot on goal was blocked by the arm of Tom Aldred on the goalline

David Gray who looked like one of the walking wounded and looking a candidate to be replaced recovered enough to get his head on the end of a Stevie Mallan corner and in true SDG style he thundered the ball into the net just before half-time

Hibs then missed a trio of opportunities to increase their lead during an unprecedented seven minutes of stoppage time that had been added on due to HIBS’ goalkeeper Mark Oxley developing an eye problem which resulted in him picking up a booking -that would cost him a place in the semifinal - and having to be replaced by rookie goalkeeper Otso Virtanen

An unexpected but welcome result after the League Cup Final

Certainly a result that took lots of strength both mental and physical to come back from and get a result against a tough opponent away from home when it looked as though we had lost our chance

I think I started to believe after that result and Stokesy was starting to come good

Dundee United 1 v 0 Hibernian

I attended this game and I still remember vividly the huge travelling HIBS support and standing behind John Leslie in the queue waiting to get in singing ‘Hibeees here! Hibees there!’ It was also the day of the famous Grand Slam Calcutta Cup match at Murrayfield

Hibs started brightly and Brian Hamilton rattled the United crossbar from 20 yards in the ninth minute That was the closest HIBS came all afternoon as that old fox Jim McLean had recalled John Clark to shackle Houchy who never got a sniff and pushed Miodrag Krivokapic into midfield to stifle the threat from John Collins

The United tactics of playing the long ball from defence up to Mixu Paatelainen and Darren Jackson worked a treat when Jackson received a Freddy Van Der Hourn free kick in the box with his back to goal and somehow managed to scoop the ball over his shoulder into the roof of the net

After that it was Dundee United versus Andy Goram

Firstly Third Lanark had a throw in and Archie Buchanan ran in front of the taker and blocked the ball with his hands

The Referee asked the taker simply to retake the throw without taking action

HIBS then took the lead through a simple goal from Bobby Johnstone

HIBS were then awarded a freekick outside the box Archie Buchanan placed the ball down and East Fife were organising their defensive wall when Eddie Turnbull ran forward and hammered the ball into the net

The Referee allowed the goal to stand

Ex HIBS man ‘Cubby’ pulled one back for the volunteeers with five minutes to go to cause a few nervous moments

Willie Ormond eased the fans’ fears when he raced clear and buried the ball into the net with his trusty left foot

A big HIBS crowd turned out at Easter Road for this St Patrick’s Day clash against bitter rivals Rangers

There was a near riot when in the first minute of the game a Rangers cross glanced the crossbar and was cleared by the HIBS defence only for the Referee to award a goal

Things calmed down when Jimmy Dunn scored a beautiful goal to equalise five minutes later

Every HIBS player was a hero that day but Jimmy Dunn was a super-hero when with only ten minutes to go he crashed home an unstoppable winner


Well I woke me up this morning
To a great almighty roar
From the throats of trusty Hibee men
Twenty thousand strong
Sure it was the Hibernian brigade
Winding up to join the big parade
So I put on my bunnet
And the scarf I love so well
And I bought myself a shamrock
Just to wear in my lapel
Don’t you know that today’s March 17
It’s the day for the wearin’ o ‘ the green.
Oh it’s a great day for the Hibees
It’s a great day for the green
Sure the emeralds and the shamrocks are the order
Sure there’s not a finer team across the border
Oh it’s a great day for the Hibees
Oh their green flag’s flying high
Every Paddy Mac is singing
And the bells they all are ringing
It’s a great great day
Go tell the Rangers it’s a great great day

Made his debut 1/2/1997 in a 1-1 draw at Home against Raith Rovers

Henrik Larrson made his debut for Celtic the day Chic scored

Henrik had an assist 😃

I missed that match. We were on holiday in Los Angeles. Earlier we drove down to San Diego to meet up with the local branch of the International Hibs Supporters Club.

We drove north to San Francisco as the season start loomed. It was way before mobile internet days. I struggled to find the score. I had a internet enabled Timeport phone but couldn't get the thing to work in California. Eventually we went into a bookshop/news stand in San Francisco and found a copy of Scotland on Sunday. The match report confirmed that Hibs had indeed beat Celtic 2-1. I think Lee Power scored the first goal for Hibs.

We came back to Scotland with high hopes for Hibs' prospects foir the season. They were top of the table in September but ended up relegated.
