wallowing in the history of hibernian fc

About the hibLOG

The hibLOG has been in existence for a number of years, growing at the pace of a giant sequoia tree. Eventually I ran out of free webspace on the old site , and being a mean tight-fisted Scots git I looked for another free alternative rather than cough up to expand it.

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, all bound up in my feeble humour and shaky recollections of the events.

When I moved from Edinburgh to Cambridge in late 1986 my good old Dad faithfully snipped out the football pages of The Scotsman newspaper and sent them down to me so that I could 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!

Now that I have moved to New Zealand the flow of newsprint has ceased, which means that eventually the hibLOG will have nothing to add after the first half of season 2008-09. But it’ll take me a while to get that far with the scanning and uploading of the cuttings that have come with me in the shipping container, so don’t panic…
