It was tough going at Airdrie on Wednesday night where Hibs survived a
determined physical challenge from the home side to leave with two more
valuable points.
There were few opportunities for the forwards to display their talent, but the
defence stood up admirably to the charging tactics of the Lanarkshire forwards
and Alan Cousin and Thomson Allan, both late deputies, merited special praise
for their part in what was our seventh win in nine matches this year.
It was a satisfying result, especially in view of the fact that we lost there in the
Scottish Cup.
Our supporters will be gratified with the gap that we have created between
ourselves and Dunfermline. But this is no time for complacency.
Hibs must keep winning right to the end of the championship campaign and
make sure there are no slips like the team experienced at the end of last season.
The target is Europe-and we are well set to qualify for the Fairs Cup at
this stage.
We have another hard game this afternoon against Dundee, who are still going
strong in the Fairs Cup. And, ‘after their Cup defeat by Rangers on Monday,
they got back to form with a 3-0 win at Stirling in midweek. Hibs will have to
be at their best to complete a League double.

REVENGE For HIBS
Hibs took quick revenge for their recent Scottish Cup defeat by going back to Broomfield on Wednesday and winning) 2-1 to create an eight point gap between themselves and Dunfermline.
European football, it seems, is just around the corner for Hibs who had another hard fight against the doughty Lanarkshire side-unbeaten at home since November.
A smart. quick shot by Colin Stein put Hibs in front and an own goal by centre half Black proved to be the winner.
Stein raised his League and Cup goal total to 21. Peter Cormack has 12, joe Davis 8, Alan McGraw, Eric Stevenson and Pat Quinn 5 apiece.
Goalkeeper Thomson Allan and centre half Alan Cousin shared in the Broomfield victory. Allan reappeared in the team for the first time since the Fairs Cup tie in Naples and had a good game, while Cousin, playing in his second League game of the season, was probably the best defender afield.
john Madsen stood down with a hip complaint and Willie Wilson was out of action with a sore throat.
Two ex-Hibs were at Airdrie in support of their former teammates-
John McNamee and Jim Scott of Newcastle.
Jimmiy O’Rourke scored his first League goals of the season against Stirling Albion and hoisted the club’s championship total to 50 goals.
It was only his sixth appearance in League matches this term, but he did well as Pat Quinn’s substitute in scoring the vital equaliser and then the fifth goal.
The “Mighty Quinn” was available for the game but wasn’t risked after a brief chest cold which forced him to miss training.
Peter Marinello, Maurice McCabe, John Murphy and Mervyn jones head for Largs tomorrow along with trainer Tom McNiven. Congratulations to them all on being selected for Scotland’s pool for the European Youth tournament to be held in France next month.
Tom McNiven will certainly be honoured, for he will train the side, while the four boys are members of a 20-strong pool which will be reduced to 16 at the
end of the three-day “concentration”. Jim McPaul and John Hamilton helped themselves to two goals apiece in the reserve game at Stirling. It was an encouraging forward display by the youngsters, who made chances galore.
Left half John Murphy missed a penalty and that’s the second spot kick Hibs have
messed up in three matches. Davie Hogg, who spoiled a good record when he was off target against St johnstone, made amends in the next game against Dunfermline.
Full back Bobby Duncan was a spectator at the game last week. He is mobile now after the surgeons replaced his heavy cast with a walking plaster. Bobby attends training sessions to keep in touch with his colleagues and plans to travel to away games as well as taking in all the home matches. Good to see the
luckless defender back at the ground.
As Hibs await news of their prospective tour of Central and South America, they have received another offer to play two games in Poland and one in Belgium,
where they were visitors soon after the war.

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.
Leeds 1 – 0 Hibernian
Wednesday, December 20th, 1967Page 3
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.
Hibernian vs Clyde
Saturday, December 9th, 1967PAGE 2
Bob Shankly’s Page
I can imagine the disappointment of the fans at last week’s defeat by Morton,
for I know how I felt with that result following our victory over Naples.
But that’s football all over and no game can be taken for granted. Not that
the Hibs players thought they were on a good thing.
They knew Morton would provide tough opposition and put enough effort
into the game to win it twice over. But we missed a few chances and couldn’t
break down Morion’s defensive barrier. It was definitely reaction after the Fairs
Cup tie.
Perhaps if Hibs had scored one goal, the game would have gone our way, but
the points are lost and we don’t want any more slips of that nature.
I took the chance on Wednesday to watch Leeds qualify to meet us
in the third round of the Fairs Cup, and .two hard ties await us. Leeds beat
Partizan Belgrade 3-2 on aggregate.
The dates for the third round are now fixed as 20th December at Elland Road
and 10th January at Easter Road.
But our immediate concern is to collect a win over Clyde, something we didn’t
manage in League football last season. However, Hibs won both League Cup
ties at the start of the season, and I’m hoping for another win.

HIBS TRIO HONOURED
For the first time in Under 23 international matches, Hibs may have three representatives
in the side, when Scotland meet Wales at Pittodrie on Wednesday.
Congratulations are in order for Pat Stanton, who will skipper the team again, Peter
Cormack and Colin Stein on being included in the provisional pool of 15 players. Now we
hope all three are chosen.
Stanton and Cormack are “old hands” at this Under 2S business, but it is a tribute to
the remarkable improvement o( Stein that he has won recognition already.
» » »
Colin Stein and lan Wilkinson will appear before the S.F.A. Referee Committee on December 18 and not on January 8 as was first thought.
The meeting lias been brought forward due to the large amount of business to be conducted,
and both boys will be looking for leniency to allow tlicm to play over the Christmas period.
lan was sent off in a reserve game at Aberdeen, and Colin suffered the same treatment against
Rangers at Ibrox.
« * *
December 6 was supposed to be the last date for completing second round ties in the Second
XI Cup, but Dundee and Hibs were allowed an extension until today, because both clubs wers
free.
So the colts are on duty at Dens Park, having had a bye in the first round of the competition.
What an appropriate place for Alan Cousin to have his first full game following his cartilage
operation. His knee has given him absolutely no trouble recently and the signs are that the
schoolteacher will soon be bidding for that top team place again.
* * *
Hibs have failed to score in their last two League games, but that nap-hand against Naples
carried them over the half century for the season.
The total is !>’! goals and the breakdown is as follows: League Cup 9; Scottish League SO;
Fairs Cup 10; other matches 4.
Eleven players have shmcd (lie goals wilh Colin Stein out in front. He has 15 and Peter
Cormack is tlie other player with double figures (11).
)oc Davis lias six to pip his travelling fni))p:ininn, I’.il Qiiinn (5) for third place.
Isn’t it time John Madsen broke his duck as ;i m.irksinan? All his (ellow defenders have
scored this season.
• * *
Hibs fans have given the team tremendous encouragement in the last two home games and
the constant roaring is a real spur despite the fact that Hibs were edged out 1-0 by Morton last
Saturday.
It was a freak goal, the sort you might see once in a season, which gave the Greenock men
(lie points. Hibs had all the pressure—and nothing to show for it.

OUR VISITORS
Clyde take a little longer than most teams to get into their stride for the simple reason tliat they arc part-time players. By the lime
ilie League Cup qualifying matches are over, the Shawfield boys are all set to make a real show in the championship and that is how it is proving again this term. Clyde were third last season, when they managed to win as many games away as at home, and 20 altogether. At the moment, they have eight wins to their credit and their victories are equally divided in and out of Shawfield.
Last week they went to Perth to take two points off St. Johnstone and that gave them six points from their’last four matches, including wins over Dundee and Stirling Albion. Their only reverse in a month was sustained in a game against Morion.
- Earlier in the season they scored away
• victories against Aberdeen and Hearts and i those are very useful points to have tucked (away. Clyde, of course, should have qualified tor the Fairs Cup, but they were excluded from the competition on the grounds lhat llie rules permit only one club from each cily and Rangers were in before them. Nevertheless, Clyde will keep pegging away this season in the hope that Celtic and
Rangers will be involved in the other, two European events and leave them free to represent Glasgow in the popular tournament. Since Clyde were here in August, manager Archie Wright has been involved in two transfer deals—one arrival and one departure. The man who left the Rutherglen club was centre forward Joe Gilroy, who was sold to Fulham. The physical training instructor, who signed from Montrose, was very keen to find a new club and almost signed up with an American outfit in the summer. Manager Wright’s other deal was the signing of utility man Pat Delaney from Duniermline. Delaney, who won Under-23 recognition at Motherwell, played at right back last week, but he can play in the mid-line (preferably centre half) or at centre forward. Now another versatile Clyde player say» he wants to leave so that he can settle down in one position. That’s the view of Dick Staite
who, despite scoring both goals against St. Johnstone, reckons he is not a centre forward but a centre half, the position he occupied with Partick Thistle. Inside forward Harry Hood is the most talented player in the side. He in;idc his mark with Clyde as a teenager and then returned to them after a spell with Sunderland. He has the ability to make the whole forward line tick and thai means trouble tor the opposition with Graham MacFarlane, lan Stewart and Sam Hastings ready to co-operate to the full.
Stewart is a powerful player with a tremendous shot. He belongs to Aberdeen, but was transferred from East Fife to his present club. John Wright has established himself as Clyde’s No. 1 goalkeeper after four years at .Shawfield. Dave Soutar, ex-Arbroath, is the regular left back and another former Gayfield “tind”, Jim Eraser, is at centre half. Scan Anderson a strong, forceful right half
from Hamilton, flanks Fraser on one side with Dennisioun product, John McHugh, at left half. Clyde have a workmanlike side and now they are one point behind Hibs in the table; Their aim is to repeat last season’s performance of finishing third.

GOALS
Bob Shankly’s Page
It makes pleasant reading to study the League table these days with Hibs and Rangers the only two clubs to take full points from the two matches.
But these are early days and it will be some weeks before the teams sort themselves out. Nevertheless, the players are determined to retain their lofty position.
Hibs were never extended in beating Raith Rovers 3-0 last week. The game was well in hand by half time and the players were able to keep something in reserve for tonights big game against Porto.
The fitness of Bobby Duncan and Pat Stanton has given a little cause for concern since the weekend, but I hope both defenders are able to turn out.
And I am looking to the fans to give the team plenty of vocal support, especially new signing Alex Scott, who joined us from Everton on Monday.
I offer a hearty welcome to Porto’s players and officials and, judging from the standard of Portugal’ national team, we expect a hard game. Their early season results have been good, and we shall need a worthwhile lead to take there in a fortnight’s time.
Consistent Porto
FC Porto, founded in 1906, have a tremendous record of consistency in Portuguese football in the past 12 years. In that time they have been champions twice, runners up on six occasions; third in three title hunts, and fourth only once.
And in two of those years they were just pipped for the League honour; once by a solitary point and another time on goal average.
They have been one of Portugal’s big three for many years, along with Benfica and Sporting, and they have been the tpride in the north in the constant battle against Lisbon domination.
Last season Porto had to settle for third place in the table, but they had as good a record as champion benfica after the first two months.
The lost three of their first eight games and seemed to drop right out of the championship running . But in their remaining 18 matches, Porto were beaten once and they were four points behind benfica at the final count.
Porto scored 56 goals to average two per game and conceded 22 in their 26 outings.
Porto’s last champion ship triumph was in season 1958-59. Previously they had been Portugal’s number one team in 1922,1925,1932,1935,1939,1940 and 1956. in the Portuguese Cup, they were the winners in 1956 and again n 1958. Last season they were eliminated in the semi final.
They play at the Estadio das Antas which has accomdation for 40,000 specators and they have a smaller ground called the Campo da Constituicao where the playes practice and where the juniors play.
Through the years Porto have claimed many notable victories against foreign sides.
They have a 5-2 victory over Real Madrid to their credit and Vasco da Gama have lost twice in Porto. America (Brazil) were other victims, but in their 60th anniverary game last season, Athletico Madrid defeated them 3-0.
Like most continental teams, Porto cater for many other sports and have 30,000 members. They have handball, athletics, basketball, badminton, cycling, gymnastics, boxing, rugby, tennis, volleyball, etc.
World Cup Ref. From Belfast
Tonights referee is 40 year old Jack Adair, an office worker in a Belfast Ship Building Firm.
Jack played for Cliftonville and Bangor before he took to refereeing 15 years ago, and he reached the pinnacle last year when he was one of the World Cup referees. He landed the Russia Chile game in the North of England group. and this was one of several international honours to come his way.
Our Irish visitor has been in charge of matches in Poland, Norway, Denmark, Belgium, Scotland and Portugal.
He was sent to do a game in involving the Braga club and stayed in Porto before the match.
Away Goals Count Double
Since Hibs last appearance in the inter cities fairs cup competition, the rules have changed to eliminate, if possible, the necessity for deciding matches.
Following the example set by the European union in the Cup Winners Cup, the Fairs Cup committee have adopted the system of away goals counting double in the event of a tie on aggregate after two games.
This rule is for the benefit of the spectators, because it helps to wipe out negative, defensive tactics by visiting teams, who might be content to play for a goalless draw.
However, Hibs will try to make sure that they don’t have to depend on away goals to qualify for the next round.
Eighth time in Europe
Porto have taken part in all three European competitions – the Champions Cup, Cup Winners Cup and Fairs Cup, and this will be the eighth time they have participated in one of these tournaments.
They made their debut in the European Cup in 1956-57, and lasted one round. They were beaten by Athletic Bilbao, who had two goals to spare. Three years later they were defeated at the same stage by Red Star (Czechoslovakia)
They fared a little better in the Cup Winners Cup in 1964-65. They dismissed Lyons (France)without any trouble before being narrowly beaten by Munich 1860.
Their first try at the Fairs Cup was in in 1962-63 when they had the misfortune to meet Zagreb Dynamo. Their luck was out the following year, too, for they were scuttled by Athletico Madrid.
Two seasons ago they edged out Stade Francais in the first round and managed to beat their German rivals, Hanover, at home. However, they were well beaten away and put out.
Last season their conquerors were Girondins (Bordeaux) who won on the toss of a coin.

Six points Wanted
Last Wednesday’s narrow victory over Dunfermline gave us ample consolation
for the Scottish Cup beating we had taken from the Fifers.
The team put up a far better showing than in the cup-tie, fighting furiously for
every ball and playing matchwinning football. With any luck in front of goal we
would have held a commanding lead by half time.
However, the result improved our League placing, and although Hibs went
down at Dundee on Saturday, we are still very concerned in the closing stages of the
title race.
Of course, the players must take six points from their, remaining games. Noth-
ing else will be good enough with three other clubs chasing the flag. And even then
we shall have to rely on other teams toppling Hearts from their top place—three
points ahead of the field.
Tonight it is my privilege to welcome Jock Stein and Celtic to Easter Road, a
quick return for the former boss. Hibs played well at Parkhead recently and I am
looking for the boys to produce their best form to master the Cup finalists.

SUMMER CUP
The Summer Cup fixtures were announced
at the weekend and Hibs, holders of the
trophy, will start their programme against
Hearts at Easter Road.
All the qualifying matches will be com-
pleted by May 19 and the entire competition
should be finished by June 2.
The Semi-finals are due on 22nd and 26th
May with the two-leg final on 29th May
and 2nd June.
Hibs are fortunate to have all three home
games on Saturdays, when attendances are
likely to be bigger.
Here are the fixtures in our Section:—
- May 1—Hibs v. Hearts; Falkirk v. Dunfermline.
- May 5—Dunfermline v. Hibs; Hearts v.Falkirk.
- May 8—Dunfermline v. Hearts; Hibs v.Falkirk.
- May 12—Hearts v. Hibs; Dunfermline v.Falkirk.
- May 15—Hibs v. Dunfermline; Falkirk v.Hearts.
- May 19—Hearts v. Dunfermline; Falkirk v.Hibs.
OUTSTANDING
Inside forward Jimmy O’Rourke and
centre half Derek Whiteford were outstand-
ing in Scotland’s 1-1 draw with England at
Newcastle last week in the final work-out
before the European Professional Youth
tournament in Germany.
Jimmy had the Scot’s goal and it was a
good performance to hold the English—
the current youth champions—on their own
ground.
The Scots will be setting out for Baden-
Baden next week to play Italy on 15th April
and Yugoslavia two days later. Twenty-
four countries are competing.
ALL SQUARE
Hibs and Kilmarnock will start all square
in their return match in the Reserve League
Cup semi final at Rugby Park next Monday
night.
Although the 1-1 draw in the first leg
here make Killie favourites for the final.
Hibs’ colts won at Rugby Park in the League
and can do so again.
MASCOT
Centre forward Vincent is certainly a mas-
cot against Dunfermline. He played three
times against the Fifers in last season’s Sum-
mer Cup—two games were drawn and Hibs
won the section decider at Tynecastle where
Stan had one of the three goals.
Last Wednesday he earned a winning
bonus again for a wholehearted display in
Hibs’ 1-0 success.
Neil Martin headed the goal that mat-
tered to boost his total for the season to 27
—a figure bettered only by Rangers’ Jim
Forest.
VITAL DAY
14tb April is going to be an impor^art day
for Hibs, and John Baxter, John McNamee
and Pat Quinn in particular. For that’s the
day the players will appear before the S.F.A.
Referee Committee as a result of having
three cautions apiece.
It is a blow to have three players in this
predicament at the one time. especially when
everything could depend on the final two
games against Airdrie at Easter Road next
week, and Partick Thistle at Firhill on 24th
April.
MR TOM HARTLAND
Mr Tom Hartland, 85, the former Hibs’
director, died on Sunday following a short
illness. He was made an honorary member
of the Club in 1963 after 30 years on the
Board.

HIBS TO MEET NOTTS FOREST
* * *
Hibs will be playing Nottingham Forest during their summer tour of Canada and America, though it is not yet certain whether they will manage to meet more than once. Until Hibs know how they are placed regarding the Summer Cup, no date can be fixed up.
The English club will be touring from mid-May to mid-June and may be ready to conclude their programme before Hibs arrive in Vancouver, the starting point on their travels. Hibs have been informed that their commitments will be in Vancouver, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Detroit,
Chicago, New York, Philadelphia and Toronto. It is
a wonderful chance. for the
players to see the United
States because they’ll pack
all they can into the three-
week visit.

OUR VISITORS
Congratulations to Celtic on winning their way into the Scottish Cup final for the seventh time since the war. The Parkhead club has had many Hampden disappointments since their last trophy triumph in 1953-54 when manager Jock Stein was the centre half, and they will make a tremendous effort to end their losing run against Dunfermline on 24th April. Victory in the cup would mean a passport to Europe and that will be manager Stein’s ambition.
Celtic skipper, Billy McNeil’s, will lead Scotland against England at Wembley on Saturday—a well deserved honour for a very
good centre half. And all his colleagues will be there to see him in action as Celtic have arranged a friendly match against Chelsea on Friday night.
JOHN FALLON (Goalkeeper—Waited
patiently to take over from Frank Haffey,
and then quickly established himself as a
big favourite with the Parkhead fans. Noted
for his all-green outfit, the red-haired
‘keeper joined the club in 1958 from Fauld-
house United.
IAN YOUNG (Right Back)—A reliable,
clean-kicking back who was on the fringe
of Under 23 recognition this season. A
couple of inches short of six feet, he was
recruited from Neilston Juniors around four
years ago.
TOMMY GEMMELL (Left Ba;k)—Gave
way to international defender, Jim Kennedy,
for two games recently, but quickly regained
the berth that virtually becomes his own.
The fair-haired defender signed in 1961 from
Coltness United.
BOBBY MURDOCH (Right Half)—An
inside forward with the strength and skill to
be converted into a first class wing half. An
Under 23 internationalist, he has been on
the club’s books for six years having been
spotted as a schoolboy with Our Lady’s
High.
BILLY McNEILL (Centre Half)—Skip-
pers Scotland at Wembley this weekend in
what will be his fourth appearance against
England. He has won well over 20 repre-
sentative honours and has many more to
come. The tall, dominating pivot is the sheet
anchor in the Parkhead defence. He joined
the club from Blantyre Victoria in 1957.
JOHN CLARK (Left Half)—A rugged,
^ 90 minute player who has happy memories
of Easter Road, where he scored the winning
goal in the last Scottish Cup game between
the clubs. Has been on the staff for seven
years, having been with Larkhall Thistle.
STEVE CHALMERS (Outside Right)—
Had a most successful run at centre forward
at the begin .ng of the season and was scor-
ing goals so freely that he played for hi-
country against Wales and Finland. Mon
recently he was on the right wing against the
English League. It is six years since he went
to Celtic Park from Ashfield.
CHARLIE GALLAGHER (Inside Right)
—Recently restored to the first team to add
poise to the attack. Probably the most accu-
rate distributor on the Celtic staff, he enjoys
a midfield role. Signed from Yoker Athletic
in 1958.
JOHN HUGHES (Centre Forward)—Now
the club’s top scorer after taking some time
to find his best form. A powerful and clever
leader who is one of the most dangerous
forwards in the game, as he showed at
Hampden when snapping up two chances for
the Scottish League. Has won Under 23
Tionou.rs, too. Joined me club in 1959 from
Shotts Bon Accord.
BOBBY LENNOX (Inside Left)—Has
developed into an ace opportunist as a result
of being ^iven an extended run in the first
team. Went to Celtic as an outside left, but
was fielded more often on the wing owing
to his lack of inches. Signed four years ago
from Ardeer Recreation.
BERTIE AULD (Outside Left)—Bought
back from Birmingham some weeks ago and
seems to be enjoying his second spell with
Celtic. A former internationalist, he won a
place in the last Scottish League team and is
using his experience to good advantage.

Pat Quinn`s Influence
WE have struck a poor spell recently after a bright start to the season, but injuries to our inside forwards Jimmy 0`Rourke and Neil Martin have had an obvious effect League defeats from Dunfermline, Motherwell and Kilmarmarnock have pushed the club down the championship table. and
points are needed urgently to remedy this slide. Our League Cup defeat by Morton on Monday night was a big disappointment to us all, though we had chances in the tirst half. particularly, and failed to profit from the promptings of newcomer Pat Quinn. A penalty goal sealed our fate. and I can only wish Morton good luck in the final. I hold high hopes that Pat Quinn will prove a splendid influence in the side. He may need a game or two to settle down but while he is finding his feet, Pat will be doing his best to create chances for his colleagues. Today Dundee make a quick return visit, and Hibs should have suflicient
coniidence to tackle this hurdle. The team played really well to draw at Dens and then win here in the League Cup, and they have the ability to repeat their Easter Road success.

Hibernian vs Middlesbrough 2-4
Wednesday, October 19th, 1960Manager Hugh Shaw says
More Spirit Required
The result of Saturday’s game was nothing less than shattering especially under the circumstances when the acquisition of immediate
League points was so strikingly imperative
Over the years no matter the result any Hibs team has always
had the quality of fighting courage particularly when the odds were
all against them But this attribute was definitely not evident in
Saturday’s game
Until our full muster of strength becomes available and a settled team established,
any selected Hibs eleven must realise that 100 per cent fighting spirit will be regarded
as the first qualification for inclusion to the team elected to battle for the restoration of
club prestige and the fight back to a position in League football more in keeping with
the traditions of the club
Last season we had two splendid games with Middlesbrough, both home and away
and it is a pleasure to welcome them beck again. They are a good footballing side with
a number of outstanding players and we anticipate another excellent tussle.
, Hugh Shaw
Joe Baker or Brian Clough The argument
raged the length and breadth of Britain last
season as those two brilliant centre forwards
matched goal for goal in an enthralling struggle
to win over the leadership of England.
Clough was Brat to satisfy the selectors and
was picked against Sweden and Wales. And
then came Joe’s turn and the Liverpool boy
held his place to the end of the season and
during the continental tour.
At the present moment Bobby Smith of
Tottenham has beaten them both for a place
in the England line-up, but Joe is included in
the World Cup group of 22 players.
Clough and Baker were the scoring terrors
of their respective leagues last season and their
rivalry reached A peak when Hibs and Middlesbrough fixed a friendly for Easter Road on 2nd
November.
Baker won that duel alright with three
smashing goals in a thrill-packed 6-6 draw.
Johnstone 2 (1 pen.) and Ormond had Hibs
other goals, while Fernie 2, Peacock 2, Clough
and Harris scored for the “Boro.”
Baker’s goals made his total 13 in five games.
but not even joe could win the game for
Middlesbrough scored three times in on four minute spell.
Middlesbrough wanted to In their Ayresome
Park fans see Baker an a return game was fixed
for 12th November.
This time Clough won handsomely although
Joe was ultra careful to avoid injury in view of
an international commitment the follow
week-actually his first full cap against Ireland
at Wembley.
Nevertheless Joe popped in one goal to help
Hibs win 4 3 and give Middlesbrough their
first home defeat . Oromnd Preston
and McLeod were the other marksmen. Clough
had two–one from an overhead kick-and
Fernie one for Middlesbrough.
John Grant was injured after an hour and
Jock Buchanan
deputies! at right back, Hibs
made midline changes with Young at right half
and Falconerat center half
Repeats of those sprees and we’ll all
be happy tonight.
This will be the fourth meeting in recent
seasons for previously Hibs went to Ayresome
Park and won 4-0.
