    Was a good Manager could spot a player and built a decent side playing exciting attacking football the Hibs way
    I’ve always felt Willie Macfarlane never got the credit he deserved for building the foundations of what became the Tornadoes, and I don’t think his exit from the club was handled well to bring in Eddie Turnbull. It’s often overlooked that Turnbull inherited a terrific team/squad, he only tweaked it slightly and added a couple of, admittedly, fantastic players, Alex Edwards and Alan Gordon, to create the Tornadoes. I remember chatting to Pat Stanton many many years ago about it, and if my memory serves me well, he thought that Willie had too many fingers in too many pies to be solely focused on the Hibs job, he was a bookie as well as manager at that time and that was part of his downfall.

    Agree with all of this

    Had us top of the league signed Arthur, Shades and Johnny Graham

    Heard he was also a very funny guy

    Yes his departure was badly handled by Tom Hart coming at an inopportune moment

    Willie didn’t have the bookies business while he was Hibs manager. He did have a plant hire business in Ballantyne Road which was very successful and somebody ran that for him while he was manager.His downfall was all to do with not letting Tom Hart pick the team and it gave Hart the opportunity to bring his pal Eddie in once he got rid of Dave Ewing.

    Was a strange one Tom Hart wanted to pick the team and he wanted Joe McBride Snr and Johnny Graham dropped for our biggest game of the season against Liverpool Willie refused and was replaced by Dave Rangers are rubbish Ewing

    Joe McBride was a prolific goalscorer who ended up starting on the bench I think Tom Hart was unhappy about his refusal to move through to Edinburgh from Glasgow

    At the risk of making myself look stupid here but here goes…

    My memory tells me that someone else made their debut the same day as Marinkov.

    Clue is Falkirk at Brockville…

    Unless my memory is playing tricks on me 😂

    Alex Marinkov was a good player, pity he didn't stay longer, done a good job for us at the time.

    Saw him away to Raith and thought he looked like a good solid centre half
