Goodness me.
Too late for that and too many skeletons crammed in the cupboard !!

You know the truth.I genuinely have recalled most of those stories through being prompted by things written on this board.
Amazing recall of events i had totally forgot. Or though i had,given my age.
Been real therapy for me.Honestly
!
Many years ago a teacher in Mathers suggested i write about my Wembley experiences
He use to crack up at what i got up to on these pilgrimages and few stories were about the football !
I went to 7 wembleys on the bounce and at 5 of them i didnt have a ticket,but got in
One time with the pre match pipe band !

Since covid i was grounded like others my age and ever since i have mostly been housebound with an illness that affects my mobility.
That can be both draining and frustrating,cos i liked getting out and about.
I guess it gives me lots of time to reflect.
However, my grandson Liam looking after me and this forum has kept my gray matter active.... and my sanity ,unlike the team sometimes.
Of Course ,there are far far more important things than football.
However being at Hampden on that day was my favourite Hibs moment since the LC win V Celtic
Although Jimmy's goals against the neighbours 0-4 and 0-7 games and the 3 against Sporting are up there.
And the Napoli game.
Along with the privilege of seeing the football genius that was Willie Hamilton.
The ballet dancer of Scottish football .
In full flow, a sight to behold
I wish you younger fans could have seen him or even if there was more footage of his play.
What a player Willie was .
Jimmy's favourites were Willie, Joe Baker and Bobby Moore.

Jimmy use to say "Michael can talk a glass eye to sleep"

He meant that in a humorous sense.. I hope !!


Message to Lee Johnson.
Lee if you read this. Hibs fans dont expect a lot.
Just a European spot and a major trophy next season will be fine.
Yours faithfully
Michael O'Rourke

PS
Dont forget now !
