Before this however the club had managed to become ?World Champions? by defeating the mighty English giants Preston North End! Hibernian re-emerged a very different club, open and inclusive to all, masterminded by the drive, ambition and loving care of Philip Farmer (ancestor of present owner Sir Tom Farmer), and his associates."

Interesting - thanks. Incidentally, that passage also provides the answer to the "going bust" point on this thread. They went bust in 1891 and then reformed after that. The club that won the Cup in 1902 was the new club. GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartleys_Jam_Tart Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Although it his hilarious that they haven't won it in so long , I still wouldn't like to congratulate them for winning in 1902 . Because I hate them . Pah . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
londonjambo Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Yup, you just know that this will be added to their - ahem! "impressive" list! Wasnt uncommon in those days for the English and Scottish cup winners to play off to see who would be "World Champions" And if Hibs did try to boast about it .... well, we can always retort that we did it too First Leg Second Leg Fortunately, we have too much class to boast about something as clearly meaningless as that GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bighusref Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 In the Metro last week, there was an article about the oldest man in the world, who is currently 115 years old.

The next big milestone will be when no human lives who was about when they last won the cup. Yes, I think the problem with this will be that medical science is advancing faster than Hibs are improving. I'm sure I heard on the radio some scientist saying yesterday that people who are alive now will live until they are well over 150 and that it wont be long before people can effectively live indefinitely.

topcat Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Wasn't the reason the edinburgh immigrants folded for a season due to a mass exodus of their players going through to the weege to play for another irish immigrant team? - which consequently left them with no players? That was the final nail in the coffin but interest in following an exclusively Irish side had begun to wane in Edinburgh by 1888 anyway which is why the new version of the club had to reinvent itself as something more inclusive. If they hadn't then Hearts might have ended up playing Derbies against Saint Bernards or Leith Primrose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
