He was my mum,s youngest brother and he used to twist her round his little finger.He made sure that there was only one team I was going to support. There was a big family who were nearly all maroon but one followed Hibs and should have been ostracised. For some reason I was not at the Motherwell league cup game but the 56 final I recall being that high up in the terracing it was like watching a subbuteo game. The only game I missed 57/58 season was a home game against Falkirk when I think we scored nine. (must have been something special to miss out). I always remember the defining game that season was against Celtic at Tynecastle which was played on A Friday night under the floodlights. Playing in a silk like maroon strip with white sleeves we won 5 3 despite an injured Dave Mackay limping for most of the game on the wing. Fortunately the great man was worth 2 and the win put us miles ahead in the league. Whilst it was not mathematically sealed a 14 year old boy and his uncle went home elated knowing it was all over bar the shouting. Thank goodness for uncles. My uncle took me all the way through from the west coast, first games in 56 when just short of nine, cup 4-0 v Rangers and I can't remember the few league games. He took me to the Final. 57-58, the only game we missed at home was Clyde, a draw. as I was 10/11, some of it's vague but some games stand out, memory wise probably as much down to reading and re-reading the press reports as well as being at the games. I do remember that Celtic game, probably because of unusual circumstances apart from the great result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was at Shawfield and after all else that had gone before, I was nearly traumatised that we actually lost the game Can you imagine if JKB had been around then?

How would have described the vibe compared to today? Probably my first euphoric high. Seriously I would say there were high expectation levels every game to win convincingly. Some supporters of another team associate themselves with flair We had it in abundance at that time and swept teams away with ease reflected in a goal difference of 103.

I think Jim Rodger equalised and we lost the replay. Time does make the memories confusing! 1962 3rd round. Crerand got to re-take his 87th minute penalty at the Gorgie Road end to make it 4-3 for them after Gordon Marshall saved the first one and they had already got away with 2 offside goals in the previous 10 minutes. One of my first experiences of decidedly biased refereeing by Bobby Davidson. 1966 quarter final was the game where the fans poured on to the pitch. Johnny Hamilton equalised for 3-3 with 5 minutes to go at the school end. Nearly vaulted the crossbar in his celebration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the 1954 league cup final and we went by special train. Unfortunately the train was late and we were 2. 0 up when we got in. At the end my mother had to hold the old man back as he wanted to join the thousands of fans on the pitch. When the train returned to the Caley station everyone was waving scarves out the windows of the houses on the stretch of what is now the western approach road. My old man did not allow me to go in 1956. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home league gates were shared in the past also. As I said before, season ticket sales were a small percentage of the crowds and would have had little effect. Say we drew Hibs at home and they wanted to charge £25? Makes no sense whatsoever which will be the reason clubs don’t do it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
