Who scored the first hibs goal you seen live?

[Haymaker]

I think Michael O'Neil. Least that's the first I remember

[FitbaFolkKen]

Hibs 4 Stranraer 0 1988, missed the first goal I think but saw Archibald come off the bench to score 2. Think it was Kano or Evans that scored the second

Paul Kane

Hibs 1 Motherwell 0 (November 1987)

Thought it was Keith Wright but turns out it was Gordon Hunter in a 3-0 win vs Dunfermline in 1991. Keith got the 2nd! Remember being too wee on the terracing to actually see most of what was going on.

[Since452]

Don't know who it was but was at McDiarmid Park around 1990. Hibs were wearing white with green sleeves

[delbert]

Peter Cormack, friendly at Easter Road against Gornik in 1969, Hibs lost 2-1 and Shades made his debut for Hibs that night.

Pat Stanton '72 League cup final.

Paul Kane against Hearts at Easter Road on 25 August 1984.

I had recently moved to Edinburgh to a flat in Iona Street. The game was a typical derby of that era. Hibs leading and looking like winning until Hearts came up with two late goals to win 2-1.

The match was at the height of the miners' strike and the police escorts were given a chorus of in support of Arthur Scargill as there was a near riot after the match.

Had to look it up, but it was this game:

Ally McLeod v Motherwell. Would have been probably my third or 4th game - the others had been 0-0 draws or 1-0 defeats to Dundee Utd and Aberdeen. It's maybe one for the "Late 70's demise" thread, but that's not a bad looking team - Derek Spalding didn't go on to do much, so I guess wasn't great, and Ally Scott was mince, but the rest of that team was pretty good.

Tommy Preston v Valencia April 1963.

[Wakeyhibee]

According to Fitbastats it was Alex Cropley v Motherwell in the LC sections Aug 71. I don't remember anything other than a "liftover" in the main stand.

[ElginHibee]

Almost definitely not my first game but the first goal I remember was Andy Goram scoring, Wikipedia tells me it was against Morton in the Premier Division in 88.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Looks like it may have been Andy Watson V Celtic in 87

[JohnM1875]

Just checked. It was an own goal haha! In a 1-0 play off win against Airdie in 97.

The lad Steve Cooper, English boy who passed away way too young. Rip

[Potty78]

Steve Cowan Feb 1986, beat Motherwell 4-0!

[Superfurry72]

Arthur Duncan in a 1-1 draw with Dundee United in October 1981. Davie Dodds had given them the lead.

[Bishop Hibee]

Alan Gordon header in a 0-1 victory away to East Fife. November 1972.

[murray26]

My dad took me to ER at a ridiculously young age my first memory was Willie Irvine scoring against Aberdeen in a 1-5 defeat I think.. looking back I don’t know how we survived as a club.

[nonshinyfinish]

I remember my first two games fairly clearly: a 0–0 vs Dundee and a 0–1 defeat to Rangers, although I was shocked to find that the two games were a year apart. I guess my dad tried to ease me in slowly to the low-key misery of following Hibs.

As we failed to score in those first two games (), I'll need to get up in the loft and have a look at my programmes to find out when I finally saw us hit the net.

[AltheHibby]

9/9/72 at Easter Road.

2-0 derby win with Alex Cropley then Pat Stanton scoring.

No segregation, so I was there with Jambo family. I can't remember, but I imagine I was an absolute pain on the bus home.

[Earlydelivery]

Not sure if it was The King or Baker vs Dons 1970 ?

How in the sweet hell do people remember/keep track of this stuff. Probability says that mine would've been Wright, Jackson, McGinlay or maybe at a push Gareth Evans but I've not got a scooby who it was or indeed what my first game was

Same. As a 7-8 year old used to sneak in for the last 10 mins once they opened the exit gates but I can't for the life of me remember any goals. Must have seen some games officially back then before we moved away from Leith for c.6 years (late 60s) as I have a vague memory of going with my dad and brother and my dad asking the bloke next to us in the queue to give me a "lift-over" when going through the turnstiles. Again though no idea what games never mind goalscorers.

[aljo7-0]

Alan Gordon (I think) in a 4 - 0 win at Easter Road V Alloa (I think) in 1971 or so. Very vague memories - other than i'm convinced Alan Gordon got a hat trick and he certainly was my hero at the time.

[Buc]

Also had to search for this. Gary Murray, 1-2 to St Johnstone in the League Cup. August 1981.

[TelaStella]

I wish I knew for definite. Deano vs Aberdeen is as far back as I can go

First game I vividly remember was Larsson’s debut for Celtic but I wasn’t there live, watched it on Zitelli.

5-2 win against Dunfermline a few weeks later is the first game I definitely remember going to. The going for glory video (sure Tony Higgins narrated it?) that was released I’m on it wearing a Spurs tracksuit. Chic Charnley scored Hibs first that day
