Fxxx the SPFL Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I remember our first match in 1974 against Motherwell we had some sort of muted 100th celebration i think. I know it's three years away but anyone like to suggest ideas for that historical landmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's three years away but anyone like to suggest ideas for that historical landmark. We won 2-0, Donald Ford scoring both. One a penalty at the school end if memory serves me correctly. We played Spurs in the centenary game, drawing 1-1. I can remember both sets of players kicking footballs into the crowd, one hundred in total. I was in my element. Jim Cruikshank in goal at one end, and Pat Jennings in goal at the other, goalkeeping heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I was just 6 in 1974 so have little, if any, memory of it. First game was 1975, occasional thereafter, and became a regular in 1979/80. Couple of questions for those who did experience it up close: Was the centenary "season" 1973/74 or 1974/75? If the latter did the poor start impact celebrations and did that defeat in 1973 cast a shadow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 Would be nice to win a trophy between now and the centenary, let alone in 2024 itself. Should be the twin aim, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi John, on a tangent and wholly off topic, your signature seems to have diddled us out of one of our Scottish Cups. You've got it as 7 instead of 8!

Covered the second half of the 73/74 season and the first half of the 74/75 season. 01/01/73 came under the second half of the 72/73 season. Being only 11 in April 74, I cant really say how much of a shadow it cast. I do think winning 4-1 on the 08/09/73 helped a bit. We did lose 3-1 at ER on the 01/01/74, after Donald Ford putting us 1 up in the first couple of minutes of that game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it might be like Celtic who appeared to make 1987/88 their centenary season. Don't recall them being that fussed about '88/89. The 1973 game is a strange one for me in that, I don't remember it and by the late '70's when I was 10/11, it already felt like ancient history. I turn 53 in a few weeks. It's ridiculous that any Hibby, my age or under, can feel any genuine joy about it. They were either too young or not even born. Didn't stop thousands of the unborn being there, though. Funny that.
