Capture the history and greatest moments of Hibernian through the newspapers, as written at the time.
Starting with coverage of Hib’s 3:0 win over Hearts in 1921, this book charts a glorious history of great games and League and Cup titles through the decades of the 20th century.
Top stories include, many of the classic encounters against Hearts; such as the 4-0 win in 1938, the 7-0 trashing in 1973 and the 6-2 walk over in 2000. Also included are many of the European games where Hibs successfully took on the might of Europe, including top teams such as Barcelona, Liverpool, and Juventus and slaughtered others such as the 9-1 win over Rosenborg in the 1974 UEFA Cup. Read about the games that resulted in Hibs winning the league in 1948, 1951 and again in 1952. Relive the excitement and tense moments of Scottish and League Cup finals in 1947, 1972, 1979, 1985, 1993 and of course securing the League Cup in 1972 when they beat Celtic; sweet revenge after losing to them in the Scottish Cup Final earlier that year, and not forgetting the 1991 League Cup Final 2-0 win against Dunfermline. All this and more is covered.
Newspaper coverage continues right up to the end of last season. A unique and wonderful gift and must have for all Hibernian fans. |
