Description
Hibernian FC On This Day revisits the most memorable moments from the club's rollercoaster past, mixing in a maelstrom of quirky anecdotes and legendary characters to produce an irresistibly dippable Hibernian diary - with entries for every day of the year. From Hibernian's foundation as a club for Edinburgh's Irish community, through to the SPFL era, the Hibs faithful have witnessed triumphs, promotions and relegations, breathtaking cup runs and European nights - all featured here. Timeless greats such as Joe Baker, Eddie Turnbull and Pat Stanton, Gordon Rae, Franck Sauzee and Derek Riordan loom larger than life. Revisit 18th March 2007 when Hibs won the League Cup at Hampden. 27th September 1972: The 6-1 demolition of Sporting Lisbon at Easter Road! Recall 1st January 1996, when Hibs beat Hearts in the derby days after being mauled by Rangers at Ibrox - and the unforgettable 4-3 Scottish Cup win against Celtic on 8th March 1986!
