Hearts
2-1 Hibs, April 1 1989 What better date for the final derby of the season than April Fool's Day? Hibs were the ones to have the mickey taken though, spoiling their unbeaten season against Hearts. I have a vague memory that this was one of those occasions when Hibs equalised a Hearts opener only to concede the winner minutes later, but I have obviously erased such painful recollections from my mind. Gavin Aitchison, however, wrote to correct me: 'Contrary to what you thought, what actually happened was Keith Houchen gave Hibs the lead at some point in the first half. Eamonn Bannon equalised shortly afterwards (as shown in your pic), to make the HT score 1-1. John Robertson won it for Hearts with 9 minutes left.' Thanks Gavin, I guess ti would have to be a Jambo to remind me of that ;^) By the sounds of The Scotsman headline below it was another niggly affair. Oh, and if you can recognise yourself in the crowd, own up... Especially the guy up near the top on the left who looks like he must be ten feet tall. Great to be standing behind you, mate... |
