the hibLOG

These pages contain a selective archive of newspaper cuttings and programmes covering most of the major events (and many minor ones) in the history of Hibernian Football Club from 1986 to the present day.

Since I moved from Edinburgh to Cambridge in late 1986 my good old Dad has been faithfully snipping out the football pages of The Scotsman newspaper and sending them down to me so that I can keep in touch with Scottish football, and Hibs in particular. These pages are therefore something of a tribute to his dedication rather than mine - and he doesn't even follow football!

On the increasingly rare occasions when I've managed to get to a game I've tried to collect a programme, and those are included, sometimes in place of press cuttings. They aren't always of the big games (neither are the cuttings) but always provide something of interest to the diehard Hibby (which you must be or you wouldn't be here).

This is a work in (slow) progress - I'll be adding pages in chronological order as and when I have time and will post notification of updates to the Hibs list and the Message Boards at Hibs.net, Mass Hibsteria and the Hibees Bounce. If anyone has any information to add to any of the pages - personal memories, anecdotes, libel suits etc - please feel free to mail me at f.pettigrew@[REMOVE THIS BIT]ntlworld.com. No comments on the budget web authoring please - like a team trained by Alex Miller, dull functionality is the watchword here.

The hibLOG has moved

Having run out of space here, new updates will be posted at http://thehiblog.wordpress.com/

Please re-set your bookmarks.

This site will remain live for the time being to house the archive from 1985 to 1994.

Links

Hibs.net - look no further for the latest news on Hibs...

Hibs List - subscribe here to the original and best Hibs email list

The Hibees Bounce -
It's kind of... bouncy

From Argentina to (Benny) Brazil - Doug Raith's fabulous collection of cuttings and programmes from 1978-89, neatly complementing these pages

Mass Hibsteria - another majestic archive, this time of Hibs' most hibsterical fanzine. Lots of excellently irrelevant football and non-football related chat on the messageboard.

Hibernian Mad - Nothing mad about it. A perfectly healthy obsession if you ask me... Another lively messageboard too.

The Greatest Game in History - But which one? 7-0 or 6-2? You decide.

Hibernian FC - official club site

No One Sleeps – Scotland at the World Cup in Italy 1990. See if you can spot yourself in a fountain with a silly hat on.

ScottishLeague.net Website of football historian David Ross. The place to get the answer to that nagging pub quiz question or any other question you might have on Scottish football history or statistics.
