The cup replay against Aberdeen led to a change in the rules. We listed McLeod and one other(maybe Campbell)as 12 and 14 -the accepted numbers for subs on the team sheet but they were in the starting 11. Aberdeen protested after the game but we pointed out that the rules only stated that 13 players should be listed. The rules were subsequently changed to show a starting 11 plus subs.
It was a very foggy night and I followed a supporters bus away from the match for some distance until I noticed it was an Ayrshire supporters bus.

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

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

Gordon Smith was the victim of a vicious tackle from Thirds’ Polish winger Felix Starocsik and Eddie Turnbull was immediately sent off for exacting his retribution “lock stock and barrel”
It was the first time Eddie Turnbull had been sent off in his career
Fifty years ago today on a cold dark wet December day in Glasgow Hibs defeated Jock Stein’s high flying Celtic side 2-1 in the Scottish League Cup Final to win their first major trophy in twenty years
A game that will forever be remembered as the Pat Stanton Cup Final

Remember the panic to get back to the NB before the team bus
Scenes on Waterloo Place when our heroes appeared on the balcony with the cup ( might have been a windae )
Absolutely rammed
We thought it would always be like this

1964 Big Bad John McNamee Jock Stein’s first signing makes his HIBS debut against East Stirling as HIBS run out 5-2 winners thanks to goals from Stan Vincent 3 and Neil Martin 2
This was East Stirling’s last game as East Stirling before changing their name to ES Clydebank
If I recall, Big John was called up by a few of his team mates to take a penalty...., which he duly hit straight at the goalie.
