Hibernian 1972 Scottish Cup Final. Whilst Hibs lost to Celtic 6 -1 (the highest score in the final since 1888) this was the birth of the ‘Turnbull Tornadoes’ named in honour of the returning Eddie Turnball as Manager. Eddie had led the team as Captain through industry and creatativity and although this match is a dark day for Hibs fans it saw the turning point for a team that went on to win the 1972 Dryburgh and League Cup Finals. On top of this he took Hibs to Tynecastle on New Years Day 1973 and narrowly scraped a 7-0 win.

Growing up in the 70's you were forced to pick a football team very early on and schooldays were made up of ribbing your mates if your team beat theirs so you always picked the top teams and not necessarily the local team (Leyton Orient weren't noted for their first division presence) to avoid the abuse if your team lost.
It's with regard to these memories that I'm exceptionally pleased to tell you that we've teamed up with the UK's leading online retro football shirt merchant to bring you all the old retro football shirts our heroes used to wear whilst we watched them on the terraces or on "The Big Match"
