Smith is perhaps unique for having played for three Scottish League
Championship teams without playing for Rangers or Celtic and playing
in the European Cup for them all including two semi finals.


A slightly later era, but Alan Gordon is the only man to play for
Hearts, Hibs and both Dundee clubs.

Get your Scottish football trivia here, folks. Amaze and annoy your
friends!
I was at the Cup Final he played in for Hibs. That was the afternoon I
started smoking again, Celtic 6 Hibs 1.
As an accountant he was able to keep track of the score.

Well you need to cater for population chsanges
There was something on TV recently where a church was being used on
different days by Christians and Muslims. Semed like a good use of a
facility.

1972, back when Hibs had only gone seventy years without a Scottish Cup win.
It's now at 111 years and counting - makes a Brit win at Wimbledon seem like
a regular occurrence...

It is unbelievable that they have failed so often. My father had to wait
around fifty years for Hearts to win the Cup.
The three game Final against Rangers in 1979 was the most nerve racking.
I travelled up from London for the first two and then stayed over for
the third.

I was half-listening to the radio commentary on the second replay. I got
quite excited when I heard that Arthur Duncan had scored...until the penny
dropped that it was an own goal.

A penalty saved and then a goal given away.
I think that was the night there was a tremendous downpour after the
game as we lined up to get into the station.
