Man from Tranent
Thought I would share this because its a great story.
Its well worth watching as there is footage of a New Years day game against Hearts at Tynecastle from ( I would say about 1969/70)
In front of a much bigger crowd than we get now. I like it because you see Hibs really getting tore in with no shades of inferiority. If Hibs keepers nowadays worry about going out to punch a ball clear just watch this Hibs goalie (pretty sure its Roy Baines). Finally talking about this footage, I would say we of a certain age talk about the Tornadoes but this Hibs team also was loaded with class and steel.
Its a great video if you can forgive them by starting it with George McNeill racing a horse and trap to Campbelltown loch I wish you were whisky ! Finally, catch the two punters at the end....yep a New Years Day game.
