…it seems as though most fans are spending so much time reading the programme, they don’t have time to put pen to paper and write in to the magazine. Take a leaf out of Jillian Binnie’s writing book. Based in Albion Road - just a Goram clearance away from the stadium, she asked if her husband John’s Hibs strip is the first to enter the Kremlin. The Hibs-mad couple were in the Soviet Union on a six-week holiday and, as Jillian explains, "John thought it only right that the super powers be aware of the club’s existence (we were there at the same time as Reagan’s visit!)"

Jillian goes on to reveal that a young Russian offered to buy the strip for one hundred roubles on the black market (Ed’s note: No, John didn't offer to sell Jillian instead!), which is the equivalent of £100.

John and Jillian visited Moscow Dynamo’s ground - she points out that Hibs beat the Russians 2-0 a couple of years back and they also visited Dynamo Tblisi, who were having a practice match at the time.

Jillian recalls, "The man at the refreshments stall wouldn’t accept any money for our drinks as we were Western tourists - he insisted that we took them for nothing (any use trying that one at the pie-hut at Easter Road)" C’mon Jillian, the Easter Road pies themselves are worth a couple of hundred roubles.
