Mr Sifter Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I was born the day of the first leg. 15th September 1976. I’m obviously just a bairn compared to some of the posters on this thread 🥴 ...as an aside tho, it’s interesting that in this thread which is populated by predominantly aulder heids, there’s no bitching or moaning about anything and everything Heart of Midlothian. Makes for a nice read. 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've probably seen it but, apart from the 1970's defending, we gave a good account of ourselves. They picked us off with ease in the 2nd leg at Tynecastle. I'll let the age thing slide.

John Findlay Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 The footage of the away leg was held by then LWT London Weekend Television and was shown on their Saturdsy lunchtime show On The Ball which was in direct competition to the BBCs Footballl Focus. That's the Hamburg away leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dav1e Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Fantastic game in an era that was grim for most fans . Funnily enough gave us a bit of hope of what might be possible. I'm sure a hardy bunch travelled behind the iron curtain for the first leg .( Theres a few loyalty points surely) Massive Steam Engine on the terrace iirc. .

Hearts Heritage Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 What wasn't widely reported was that Leipzig missed a penalty in the away leg with 8 minutes to go that would have made it 3-0 rather than 2-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboJay Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 My mates and I had none of this running on the park malarkey at the end of the game. We took off down McLeod St. heading towards the Rosie where we got three double rounds of pints and whisky (closing time was 10pm in those days) then catch the bus to Broxburn in time to see the highlights with Alan Weeks. I think he was co-opted into the commentary as there were more European ties than the BBC had footie commentators. A Thoroughly Grand Evening........

Tommy Brown Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I posted of this game to celebrate my 1000 JKB post. great night that lives with us auldies for all time. Things I didnt know or not recall:- was the missed penalty to make the away leg 3-0. (never knew that) Jimmy Cant still with us at the time. (dont remember) First invaded the park when we won the Reserve league Cup, then this glorious nighr. had to wat a few years before the winning Div 1 with a last gasp Frankie Liddell header.

I remember feeling deflated when after we had scored twice to draw level on aggregate they scored to make it 2-1 - as that meant we needed to score another two to go through. ...and I remember Busby's delicate cross for #5 😬 ..............just about took Willie's heid off. .

Would that be 1973, Tommy? I read, online, some pages from the New Year day match programme that year (apologies) and noticed we were due to play Aberdeen reserves on the 2nd of Jan at Tynecastle in the semi final. I've wondered since how many brave souls showed up and what the atmosphere must have been like. I was only 4 ¹/² at the time so have no memory of that awful day or, obviously, the Reserve Cup win.

Too pissed for it to register, no doubt. Angie the barmaid and a bearded glass collector from Balerno are the only staff I recall. Both Hibs, but decent enough; for scuttlers. Not been in there since around 2006. My mate was banned and now, at 51, I'm a mature, responsible parent/uncle who attends with the next generation.

This 13 yo sitting on a barrier high in the school end, can still vividly see him fumble an easy header for Lennox to pull it back to 3-2. edit Must admit to being stunned to see had played so many, too. In tose days ther were very thin green glooves, he taped them on around his wrists. I had a pair of them and when dry the ball slipped out, but when wet they stuck to the ball. Nothing like the ones of today. just thought of Sepp Maher's glooves in the '74 WC, they were huge.
