Aye! That was a debatable period in our club's history. Loved the 5-1 CIS Cup final win in 2007! I attended that match with my sons and that was one of the best free-flowing attacking displays by Collins' Hibs team in a Hampden cup final! The slot that showed 'Sunshine on Leith' being chanted by massed ranks of the Hibs support was priceless but also refreshing to see this display untarnished by the sectarian shit that we are still observing in the Scottish game!
It was also nostalgic to see David Narey's 'toe poke' goal v Brazil in Seville during the World Cup '82. I was located behind the Brazil goal and had a great view of that shot - a euphoric moment but it was short-lived. But a lotta folk back home would never have realised how tortuous the hot humid conditions were for our players 100 deg fahrenheit in the evening and we were spectators in a sauna!! Try playing in that if you are not accustomed to it lol!
Presley's end comments were fitting - not producing good enough players and the league is not good enough either - we've been observing that deterioration for years!!!
