Old Hibs Photos (and videos)

[Jack]

I've had a look but there's nothing recent to tag these on to. These are from a Facebook page I doubt we'll all have access to.

The first pictures are an old team photo someone has coloured in.

Think I prefer the black and white?

i dont really get this fascination with making black and white photos colour ????

My train of thought exactly

 

[AG1337]

I like both.
The green and white top is magic

Often thought goalie tops back then were just a woolly jumper, looked like it anyway.

The advertising hoardings prove that even in those Black and White days, Hibs were about inclusivity

I reckon that picture must be around 1975/1976.
Recognise Benny Brazil, Pat Stanton, Bobby Smith, Willie Murray, John Brownlie, and I think that's Mike McDonald at the back.
Don't recognise the guy with the beard..possibly Tony Higgins ?..he's certainly big enough.

Think Geoff Capes has snuck in.

 

[HaarlemShuffler]

Gutted I never recognised Cormack kudos @1875

Is Tam wearin' y-fronts or shorts

 

[Greenmachine]

Peter Cormack and Ally McLeod in there too.

It certainly looks like Peter Cormack in the middle there, however if it is it kind of throws my guess at the year out somewhat.
Peter didn't come back to Hibs till 1980, and by that time the likes of Brownlie, Stanton etc were all away.

Which one are you thinking is Peter Cormack? If it's the one behind Benny Brazil, is that not maybe George Stewart?

Behind Benny? Doesn’t look like George Stewart?

 

[Doc Shrink]

Houchy?

 

[Greenmachine]

Houchy?

Didn't sign for Hibs till the late 80's..

 

[Greenmachine]

Behind Benny? Doesn’t look like George Stewart?

There was a guy called Willie Paterson who played for Hibs around that time.
It looks a bit like him.

To me it does

I've seen that picture a few times and never been 100% convinced it isn't a photoshop job.

I think Hibs didn't have floodlights until the 1950s - would have to check.

Me neither. I find it extremely annoying. Best left as they are.

 

[Findlayhibby]

Doubt it we'd be at war.

 

[EH17 Jimmy]

1954 the floodlights went in apparently. The Harp above the entrance might jolt a memory.
And if you drink in the Artisan before games ....

That happened in the 70's.
I remember reading bout it. The lorry's brakes failed as it came down Montrose Terrace past the old Field and Stream shop and crashed into the Arty. You can see a foodlight at Easter Road in the distance. Bet a few pints were spilled at the bar when that happened.

 

[Greenmachine]

True enough.
Must be about mid 50's then.

 

[MeanwoodHibee]

Football continued, with crowds in attendance, throughout the duration of the war. Hibs beat the old Rangers 8-1 in 1941.

The lad who sent me that said it was around 1913 when the game was played.

1st March 1913 Scottish Cup defeat at home to Raith, is the last time Girdwood and Callaghan played together at home to Raith.
