HibeeJibee Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Beautiful. I'll never tire of watching that move at 4:14. Pass, flick, shot, goal - eternity. Sitting here with a tear in my eye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tamthebam Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 A mate of mine was at that game. The cheap Scouse git got a free ticket from a player he knew. Do I win £5? members of the 1967 team attend Edinburgh City v Berwick Rangers earlier in the season. Good guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why really, given that Hibernian is your well-publisiced "big team".Proper Berwick fans are well entitled to their moment: you, not so much IMHO.

A thoroughly cultured footballer, much loved by we Bears and underappreciated elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned in my blog how my uncle took me along to the next round at Easter Road in an attempt to turn me into a hibby. Hibs beat Berwick 1-0 with Big Jock saving a penalty. Dave Smith was something else. Used to dribble past players on his own 6 yard line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is also an argument to be made that losing to Berwick also cost us The ECWC later in the season. We sold Jim Forrest and Dandy McLean after this game, blaming them for the defeat. Consequently, we couldn't find a goal vs Bayern Munich in the final, which we lost in extra time. Mind you, dropping Alex Willoughby in place of Roger Hynde didn't help.

Main page is here - Moving the Goalposts then scroll down to Hibs if that's what you're after. It's also in my sig but apparently you won't see it if you're on a phone.

Maybe ex eventu thinking but he's a bit of a hero who was flung under a bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were - they were both in the 1970 Scottish Cup winning team. Jim Forrest arrived at the end of season 67/68, IIRC, and Joe was signed the following season, I think.

You had a good team around that time. I recall going to Ibrox and us getting pumped 0-2 with only Sandy Jardine cutting the mustard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should really have won the league in 70/71, 6 home draws against Airdrie, St Mirren, St Johnstone, Rangers, Celtic and Motherwell (all of whom we defeated away from home) did for us. I may have mentioned this before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
