JohnB Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Was looking for some footage of Colin Cameron and came across this. Brilliant piece which captured how the team were feeling. It really should have had an X certificate but to be fair they were all high as kites - as we all were! Cup Final '98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
periodictabledancer Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I went to the training camp in Warwick and met all the players , also got some programmes from JJ and BB. My lad was over the moon at meeting them and still remembers it all. He's actually on camera on the rushes and the BBC edited out a bit of Adam wearing a "Celtic" shirt that was actally a S Lisbon shirt. Great times.

Definitely the greatest day of my Hearts life so far.... the emotions of pure fear, relief and crying went through all of me and my mates at the game. We got home to watch them bring back the cup to gorgie...all of us pissed . Then off to pubs in Haymarket . I remember buying 6 pink newspapers....don't ask me why ffs! I then called my Hibbie dad from a pay phone. I couldn't speak as I was crying. My dad just said..."well done son". Brilliant bloke🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My best mate and me both went to the bibs v Dundee Utd relegation game! We were there to watch them go down! Sat in the main stand as it was then. Absolutely hilarious stuff to sit in amongst them and watch the despair! It was only when we were walking away from fester rd immediately after that we both realised given the large numbers of wee team pals, acquaintances and enemies we both had that if any of them had seen us in amongst them purely to revel in their demise that we’d have probably been skinned alive and that would have been just by our hibby pals never mind the enemies! We hurried away quickly and only once we got up as far as town did we start the revelry!! We drank all the way back to gorgie celebrating as we went!

whodanny Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I wonder about the T shirts the team were wearing at Tynecastle at the end.

ColinSmith1255 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 I had been living in Newcastle for about 10 years in 98. I had a season ticket at St James. I was at the semi final against Falkirk but had a real dilemma for the final as Newcastle were playing Arsenal at Wembley on the same day. My Newcastle pals persuaded me to go to Wembley. I went to the wrong game. I have regretted it ever since. I moved back to Scotland in 1999 and Tynecastle became my only “home” again.

There was some Geordies at Parkhead and one of them was one of the first on the pitch at the final whistle , wearing his Magpies top, completely off his t*ts. I had a last gasp pint in a boozer at Parkhead and the only thing I can remember is the glass doors being smashed in (not a euphemism) and chatting to some nice old Celtic fans who really wanted us to get it right up Rangers.

On the bus back home most of us were exhausted and sat in happy silence savouring the moment. When we hit the dual carriageway at Sitehill it was a fantastic sight - whole families clapping at the roadside, hanging out of windows waving flags, firemen cheering from the roof of their fire engine.

The club hadn't produced any cup winning merchandise and didn't until ages after the final. The ones the players are wearing were sold by a brave street vendor who took the risk of making them up. They were on sale on Gorgie Road the night of the final and the Sunday. I still have mine in a box in the attic and they come up on Ebay quite a bit.
