Well firstly I’m a Villa season ticket holder, get that out of the way, but I feel a connection growing with all things Edinburgh so thought I’d invest some emotional attachment to Hibs. I have a number of reasons:
1. We played you in a pre season friendly at our place in 1989 and you guys were really friendly in the pubs. Pxxsed, but friendly with it. I’ve looked out for your results since.
2. I was a big Marillion fan, I follow Fish on FB and the scary man of my youth now wears dungarees and potters around in his garden. I think I like him more for it.
3. I’ve enjoyed a few nights out in Leith.
4. I experienced an uncomfortable journey to the airport in a taxi with a Hearts fan driver comparing the high level of Asian immigrants in Birmingham to what ‘they have to put up with Hibs and the Irish’ so it was never going to be them (they do though have a favourable colour to my eyes, sorry).
5. And of course Super John. Destined for bigger things than us. There is the Cruyff turn and now the McGinn stick you’re arse out turn. And a seemingly nice guy. I met him in Aldi once.
I have a history of these things so the ‘Hibs’ and ‘you’ will soon turn to‘us’. I started following the Green Bay Packers a few years ago and now an annual trip to Wisconsin happens (now those guys can drink), so I expect a weekend will be occurring to Scotland at some point.
Good luck today!!
