Go for it 1308 Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Brought up in leith, my family are all hibbies. Folks emigrated to south Africa in 1972 when I was 6, with me and my older brother. My auntie in Edinburgh bought 2 football tops from Gloldbergs to post across to us. My dad wanted her to send 2 hibs tops but she sent a hibs and hearts top by mistake. I started crying when my dad tried to take the hearts top from me ...so I got to keep it...and now I'm a jambo. I just loved the colour maroon 😍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
