On this day in history

[DanishJohn]

The 1965 game against Dundee Utd 3-4. I was there with my dad in our usual place in the enclosure. Dundee Utd in their strip at the time of all white and black trimmings.
My auld man was flabbergasted with Finn Dossing's boots. Whilst everyone was wearing the fashionable boot that were cut under the ankle line Dossing was wearing these big brown things that were like something you've seen from the fifties. Am I remembering that rightly ?

What I do seem to remember though was that out of all the Scandinavians that came to Utd and Morton , Dossing was one of the best.

Aberdeen forced this replay when they scored a last minute goal at Pittodrie and they continued where they left off when Barry Nicholson fired the Dons into an early lead following a neat one two with Steve Lovell

The Aberdeen lead lasted three minutes as Steven Fletcher leapt like a salmon to head home Dean Shiels’ corner kick

The match continued to and fro until the poorly Michael Stewart hit a worldy that crept in just under Langfield’s crossbar from just outside the box following a Shiels corner just on the half-time whistle

Hibs replaced the unwell Stewart and goal maker Shiels with Kevin Thomson and Benji at half-time and what a master stroke that proved to be An early Thomson pass being flicked on by Fletcher into the path of Benji who found himself one on one with Langfield who promptly rounded the keeper and fired home Benji completed the scoring just short of the hour when he picked up an Andy McNeil clearance before teasing Andy Considine and drilling a shot low under the diving Langfield

You could not move in Edinburgh that day for "Celtic" fans.
Including those glory hunters that managed the bus fares !
Celtic of course were on route to their "nine in a row" and still a top European side.
They would contest the European Cup final the season after this.

The grassy knolls of London Road was filled early wae buckfast swilling hordes,who then descended down to the Holy Ground and used every turnstile to get into the ground.

Dead easy to corral the Cave, cos of the colours.
Huns would not have got away with that back then.
I know that for sure !!

The Celtic hordes did fill the whole ground that day ,though.

Celtic increased their lead when Lennox scored a header from a Johnstone corner in 17 minutes

The game erupted two minutes from half-time when following a poor challenge from Celtic winger John ‘Yogi’ Hughes HIBS’ right back Duncan was stretchered off with a broken leg and damaged ankle ligaments

Such was the severity and viciousness of Hughes’ tackle the game was held up for five minutes as it triggered fighting between rival supporters in the Cowshed behind the Celtic goal

Clyde took the lead but Rab Wall equalised with a cheeky back header James Malloy then had to leave the field of play through injury leaving HIBS down to 10 men Clyde duly raced into a 4-1 half-time lead

Malloy reappeared for the second half and when play recommenced Clyde looked to be content to hold what they had.

The Hibernians piled forward in numbers throwing caution to the wind with all the fighting spirit of the old Irish brigades as if defeat was out of the question

Rab Walls got his second and new boy JJ Smith got a double to tie the tie 4-4

With 15 minutes to go a beautiful head flick from JJ teed up Malloy to smash home the winner

The HIBS supporters were transformed from silent witnesses of doom into raving maniacs acclaiming their heroes with wild abandon Total strangers threw each other’s bunnets up in the air and clung around each other’s necks and wept for joy

That night in the taverns of Leith a new song was sung:

D’ye Ken John Smith
In his jersey green?
He went through Clyde
Like a submarine
He scored twa goals
He was sae keen
An’ the HIBS live to fight
Anither mornin’

Bobby Duncan’s leg break happed more or less right infront of me and my brother, standing close to the centre line on the east terrace. It was nothing short of assault and there was a horrible crack as Hughes did the dirty. This was the first visit to Easter Road by what was a fantastic, European Cup winning, Celtic side. Their reputation was tarnished that day.
I remember we lost but until I read the article I hadn’t remembered the score.

Saints regained the lead shortly after when the ever dangerous Liam Craig dispossessed Stephens and scored with ease

Griffiths hit the bar with a header from an Eoin Doyle cross before Calum Booth showed him how it should be done when he curled a beauty past Enckelman to score what HIBS thought was a share of the points

WIllie McCartney RIP

Hibernian Manager Willie McCartney took unwell during this game

He was driven home where tragically he passed away later that evening

Three months later his young exciting HIBS side would win the League becoming the first team outside the Old Firm to win the League since 1904

Like his father a former Hearts Manager he is credited with signing Tommy Walker for Hearts and the Famous Five for HIBS

HIBS fans still speculate to this day as to how good his HIBS team might have become had he survived

It sure was.
You notice the hill behind the main crowd on the film. Its not Arthur Seat !
Its hard core and rubble that had been transported in for the huge extension of the main terracing,which soon after would hold the clubs record attendance.(see linked article below)
The post war years saw a tremendous Hibs team on the rise and demand to see them was huge.
Hibs had thought of making the ground 70.000 capacity

Anyway, more on that time in this remarkable article.

If you look at the attendances in the immediate post war years,our main rivals were rAngers.
Quick glance at attendances for that period shows that as many Hun as jambos would descend on the Holy Ground for respective fixtures.
I mentioned in an earlier post about huge Celtic crowds at ER.
That applied also to Hun of course, when they were doing well.

Of course, in the post war years ,transport was different.
Not many cars
But trains by the dozen ran right alongside our ground back then for such games.
They came through in their hordes by train,coach and horse driven carts !!

Trams too !!

The 1965 game against Dundee Utd 3-4. I was there with my dad in our usual place in the enclosure. Dundee Utd in their strip at the time of all white and black trimmings.
My auld man was flabbergasted with Finn Dossing's boots. Whilst everyone was wearing the fashionable boot that were cut under the ankle line Dossing was wearing these big brown things that were like something you've seen from the fifties. Am I remembering that rightly ?

What I do seem to remember though was that out of all the Scandinavians that came to Utd and Morton , Dossing was one of the best.

If it’s the game I remember United we’re leading 4+0 at half time and our second half fight back just failed.

Funny, was only thinking about this game the other day

Dejavu must have set in for the HIBS fans as Marc-Antoine Fortune gave Celtic the lead in 5 minutes following a Caddis corner

Talisman Anthony Stokes equalised for HIBS after 25 minutes when he flicked home a Derek Riordan corner

After that it was pretty much backs to the wall with Chris Hogg and Ian Murray orchestrating the HIBS defence and ex Celt Liam Miller pulling the strings in midfield

Just when it looked as though things were going to fizzle out for a draw Anthony Stokes shocked Tony Mowbray’s troops in the last minute when he sprung the offside trap on the counterattack threading the perfect ball through to substitute Danny Galbraith on the left hand side of the Celtic box who drilled an unstoppable drive low into Artur Boruc’s bottom left hand corner
