Hibernian (01-08-1964 to 31-07-1965)

Stein was appointed manager of Hibernian in 1964, and within months of becoming manager he led them to victory in the Summer Cup. The testimony of his contemporaries was that he was already “miles” ahead of everyone else in his understanding of the game, and in studying how the investment of energy could be tailored to maximum effect. Stein was immersing himself in the structure of the game while the rest simply went out and played.

Thomas Younger (born 10 April 1930, died 13 January 1984) was a Scottish professional footballer of the 1950s and 60′s who played as a goalkeeper.

Quoted from image: Serves with the B.A.O.R. near Berlin and is flown home to play in Hibs chief matches. Joined Hibs from a local Juvenile side Hutchison Vale, and once he joined the sidein 1948-49, has seldom missed a League game. Will one day play for scotland

Life and playing career

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Younger signed for Home town club Hibernian in 1948 where he was part of the successful side of the early 50s, winning two titles in 1950-51 and 1951-52. Younger soon gained a reputation for being an excellent goalkeeper and alerted Liverpool manager Phil Taylor who captured his signature in June 1956 for £9000.

He made his debut at Anfield on the 18 August, the same year, in a league match against Huddersfield Town, However, Huddersfield spoilt Younger’s day by taking both points from a 3-2 win. He kept his first clean-sheet 2 games later at Gigg Lane as the Reds beat Bury 2-0. Younger immediately took over the No.1 jersey at Anfield and played in 43 of Liverpool’s 45 matches in his first season.

Younger was capped by Scotland 24 times in just 3 years making his debut on the 4 May 1955 in a friendly international against Portugal at Hampden Park, Glasgow, the Scots were too strong for their Iberian counterparts winning the game 3-0 thus gaining Younger his first clean-sheet at national level. Younger also had the honour of keeping goal for the Scottish side during the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, he played in 2 matches, the first against Yugooslavia with the second, his last appearance for the Scots, coming against Paraguay.

Younger spent 3 years at Liverpool only missing 6 matches during this time, he was allowed to leave to take on a player/manager role at Falkirk, a back injury led to him ending his career but, after finding out that the injury wasn’t as bad as first diagnosed, he returned to England when Stoke City signed him in 1960. Younger went on to play for Leeds United where he finally retired in 1962.

After his retirement he stayed on at Leeds as a scout before he got his first coaching role, it was in Canada at Toronto City. After his stint in Toronto he headed back to the club that set him on his way, Hibs. As well as being a fabulous keeper he also had an astute business brain which he used in his role as, at first, a director at the Easter Road club and then Chairman.

Younger also put a lot back into the Scottish game after he was appointed to the Scottish Football Association where he eventually became President a role in stayed in right up until his death on 13 January 1984 aged 53.

10 YEARS AGO

Wednesday, October 24,1973. Leeds United v. Hibernian. U.E.F.A. Cup.
Result (0-0).
Leeds United — Harvey; Madeley, Cherry; Bremner, Ellam, Yorath;
Lorimer, Clarke, Jones, Bates, F. Gray. Subs. Jordan, O’Neill, Mann,
Davey, Shaw.
Hibs – McArthur; Bremner, Schaedler; Stanton, Black, Blackley;
Smith, Higgins, Gordon, Cropley, Duncan. Subs. Edwards, Hazel,
O’Rourke, Munro, Robertson.
Hibs won a lot of admirers with their display against Leeds United in the
first leg of their U.E.F.A. Cup tie at Elland Road. Their plan to attack the
English League leaders raised quite a few eyebrows among the media
representatives and Jimmy Hill had nothing but praise for the Scots display.
Changed days indeed!
Leeds, with four Scots on the park, and one on the bench, were hot
favourites and the crowd at the start was around the 25,000 plus mark.
Using two wingers — Bobby Smith and Arthur Duncan — Hibs exploited
the lack of mobility in the Leeds full-backs, and were unlucky not to gain a
winning lead. Their best chance came in the last minute when Arthur
Duncan, for the umpteenth time sped past Madeley, and crossed into the
middle. Alan Gordon dummied the ball and Tony Higgins, with the goal at
his mercy, huudod over when it appeared easier to score.
The big man made amends throughout the 90 minutes by his whole-
hearted display which left Leads skipper Billy Bremner a clear second best
in their tussles.
In the second-half Leeds brought on Joe Jordan and their young winger
O’Neill to provide a service for the new Scotland leader, but the Hibs
defence held firm and kept taking the game to Leeds.
The large Hibs support were a credit to the club and Scotland.

COLIN IS TOP SCORER AGAIN

Colin stein has re-established himself as leading goal scorer in Scottish league matches. His two goals against Dundee untied hoisted him to the thirteen mark and made his overall total 16, including Fairs Cup and friendlies.

Pat Quinn is having a happy season as a marksman, considering he went so long without a goal until his hatrick against heart in September.

He collected one of Hibs’ five goals against Partick thistle and completed a nap hand against united.

All of them have been vital contributions and there is no denying another goal would be a big help tonight.

STRONG AT HOME .» .
They are particularly strong on their
own ground at Easter Road, Edinburgh
where they have been beaten only once
this season and conceded but two goals.
So we are under no illusion about the
task which confronts us in the second
leg. A good lead tonight will ease it
considerably.

in the last round of the Fairs Cup they
put up at renmrkitblc performance to
beat Naples. Down 4-1 in the first leg
their cause looked hopeless but at Easter
Road they played the Italians off the
pitch to win 5-0 and take the round on
a 6-4 aggregate. There have been few
such dramatic turnabouts in the history
of the competition. In the first leg Hibs
heat the Portugese side, Porto, on a 4-3
aggregate, winning 3-0 at home and
losing 3-1 away

DOUBLE CUP DRIVE

Last Wednesday’s victory over Stoke
City means we keep up our double cup
drive with the prospects of making it a
three pronged one when the RA. Cup
campaign begins in the New Year.
Thanks to an excellent start which put
us a couple of goals up in the first 15
minutes through Billy Bremner and Pete
Lorimer, who hit his 22nd of the season
so far, we always held most of the cards
and Stoke once again had to retire beaten
at Elland Road.

Victory over Derby County in the two-
legged semi·final will not be easy. Derby
are a greatly improved side this season
even if they have not quite fulfilled
their early promise but without falling
into the error of counting our chickens
before they are hatched our prospects
of reaching the Wembley final of the
Football League Cup on March 2nd
must be bright.
