Hearts Heritage Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 67 years ago today, a 16 year old made his debut for Hibs against Hearts. Tommy Walker scored a hat-trick for HMFC but he was upstaged by the 16 year old who scored 3 for Hibs in a 5-3 victory. http://www.londonhearts.com/scores/games/19410428.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debtor Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 A gentleman by all accounts and an extremely fit player for his day. Three Championships with different clubs and a player I wish I had seen. Two hat tricks in one game? How often does that happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deevers Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 A truely great player - but when he played for Hibs against us - big Tam Mckenzie always had him in his back pocket!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeeToonJambo Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I was fortunate enough to see Gordon Smith playing for Hearts. He was in the twilight of his career but I just loved watching him and, because I was quite young at the time, had no recollection of him playing for Hibs. He moved on to Dundee and was instrumental in them reaching the semi-final of the European Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie-Brown Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 The crowd was only 3004! Britain was deep into the 2nd world war by April 1941 - that would be the reason for such a low crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Findlay Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 My father who will be 71years old this September. Has see Tom Finney, Stanley Matthews and others play in the flesh but, ask him who is the most talented footballer he has ever seen in the flesh and he will answer Gordon Smith. To show you the bias in the Scottish media. When Jimmy Johnstone died there were quite rightly tributes from all and sundry and he got at least a good 20minutes on Scotsport. When Gordon Smith died you had to read the broadsheets for any tributes and he got all of 2minutes on Scotsport. In a word a disgrace from the Scottish media. They should collectively hang their heads in shame. Of course if Smith had played for either of the OF then it would have all been different.
