EUROPEAN ROYALTY!!! Hibernian Football Club 

luv the vids

Probably my favourite video so far. Hibs also have a mention in the history of the FIFA Club World Cup as they won the first ever football match dubbed as a Football world championship when they beat Preston NE in 1887.

Need to come to an Edinburgh Derby when we can get back into stadiums! Mon the Hibs

Thank you as a Hibs fan you did us proud

Famous 5 also took brazils national team through training sessions showing them the Hibs way 🇳🇬🥬👌🏼

Even though you find it hard to imagine Hibs and Hearts combining, they used to do it. I recall attending the pre-season charity games in the 1950's, held alternately each year at each other's ground, with an "Edinburgh Select" team, made up from the two clubs. The visiting guest teams were from England's 1st Division (now the English Premier League). The grounds were packed and the fans from each club stood shoulder to shoulder in friendship with never a hint of animosity.

I didn't know it was known as Little Ireland ,well a brilliant name and the Irish weren't to blame.Superb.

Best football channel on RU-vid by a long shot. 👍🏼

Honestly, this is my favourite channel on RU-vid nowadays, watched all your vids of the 42 grounds. You really do your homework, and I really appreciate your hard work. GGTTH 🇳🇬⚽🇳🇬

Keep up the Scottish content, I'm loving it 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Not as much in the football sense but there was a train station called Hibernian park right outside the ground think it was in 1950/60s

To ignore the fact that Hibernian were the first British team to beat both real Madrid and Barcelona is unforgivable

I like your lack of bias - op marks

Great video my friend.. hibs are always going to be the most historic and best football club in Edinburgh, no matter what the Georgie slum say🇳🇬👍

Cheers mate. This is the video I have been waiting for 😁😁😁🇳🇬

Great video. Of course the irony is the Celtic fans that sing "And of you know your history", when few of them actually do. Hibernian FC, FIRST to wear the green. #GGTTH

Superb video yet again Sam, i remember watching the Hibee's on TV in the 70's giving the likes of the mighty Leeds and Liverpool sides a real fright in European games, plus as a Jags fan i'm proud that Firhill was the first Glasgow ground to host a European game as Djurgardens home venue as bad weather in Sweden meant they couldn't play at home so they chose Firhill as their home park. Keep them coming.

Before they got the Easter rd ground they played in powderhall

First team to have sponsors on the strip. First to have a scoreboard and first to have floodlights.

Glory glory Hibees. My scottish team. :)

I’m a hibs fan

"I would rather have a sister in a brothel than a brother in a hearts scarf!"

Great Video! I use to live near the Hibs stadium and was able to see it from my bedroom window. Despite being a Hearts fan, I would enjoy seeing a sea of people in green going down Albion Road to the stadium. Being Canadian and growing up with Hockey fandoms, it was really nice experiencing sports fans getting into the spirit of their team in another country. One thing I would never do would wear anything red and or maroon when a game was on. Being a Montreal Canadian fan, Hib fans would mistaken the Habs' logo for the Hearts as my Dad discover when he would visit Scotland.

Great vid GGTTH

Thanks for the videos! I've learnt a lot about Scottish football from them

Brilliant video, this is why I’m proud to be a Hibs fan🇮🇪 🇳🇬 could tell you had a soft spot for Hibs from your previous video on the Edinburgh derby.

Scottish football forever!

Hibs aren’t in Edinburgh mate… it’s called Leith.

So my family hails from Little Ireland, so straight from the start you have me hooked

First English team to play in a European cup was Birmingham city,great video!up the hibbies

Great video

Another great video. I'm actually a 15 minute walk from the ground, my club. Keep vids coming, well done visiting all clubs 👍👍

The green of Hibernian FC and of Hawick RFC..thank you Grandpa Meek

Loving all the videos. Always learning something new.

We are not religious, we are a Scottish football club from the capitol that is all. We are very different from Celtic.

Chelsea would have been in the first ever European cup but was denied entry.

Great stuff i enjoyed that, Ipswich Town were the fifth English club to play in the European Cup, before Liverpool !! 🔵⚪

Just did a re-run on this. Did Hibs at the establishment of Celtic, give them 5 players to get started?

Nice one Sam, Great history of the team as usual. Keep up the great work and stay safe. YNWA.

You should give trivia on stadiums capacity, when stands were built when renovated and if there are still original parts of a stadium still remaining. Great vlogs 🏟️🙌

Keep up the good work. Brilliant.

Simple the best club in Scotland, you forgot to mention that the great George Best played for Hibernian in the 1979/80 season 😉

@Footy Adbentures that was marvellous the only thing you didn't mention was George Best played for us and Frank Sauzee and Hibees were first team to have Shirt sponsors shirts BUKTA was the sponsor and sports manufacturer. Top marks you did a wonderful job well done 10/10 bud. Blessings in Christ Jesus from a Protestant Hibee fan I witnessed League Cup wins Scottish Cup both Drybrough Cups and annihilating Sporting Lisbon 6-1 when genius Alex Edwards ran the show! Oh to be a HIBBY!!

Really enjoying your "History of X in X minutes" videos. Keep them coming.

Very interesting - good job ☝🏻

Your videos keep on getting better and better!!!

You mentioning the malmo game brought back bad memories 😂 my first ever Hibs game my dad took me to and we got hammered

Really enjoying your videos mate, very informative and a pleasure to watch. Thank you Sam.

I thoroughly enjoyed that👌👌

I remember I was there we beat MALMO 6-0 at easter road still got the programme.

I think you touched on hibs having 1st undersoil heating 1st floodlights 1st shirt sponsor 1st Scottish team to play European football but how about Hibs going to Brazil and teaching them the beautiful game! Research that 😎

Great video! I’m off up to Edinburgh in October. Hoping to attend Hibs v Dundee Utd while we’re up there!

And yet we are mini celtic 😂 Class video mate

Superb video. Well done mate. GGTTH 💚

amazing vid been watching even since u started doing runs from stadium to stadium in lockdown 1

You were right round the corner from St Mary St where they were founded.

I am a Fifer with a soft spot for Hibernian .

This is a great channel btw you deserve well more subs. Keep them coming I’m loving these videos

Great video the quality keeps going up

Great knowledge & research. 👏

Great video mate

Another crackin video Sam. Love all your videos can't wait for the next one. Keep them coming and as always keep safe ⚽⚽

Excellent vid. Your best so far. Great research done for it👏👏👏

Some of the best years of my life was living in Edinburgh, and Hibs was my team. That was over 20 years ago but I remember watching living matches at Easter Road so clearly. I’ve long since moved back to Canada and while I’ve supported Toronto FC as a season ticket holder since before the club played its first game; Hibernian FC and all its fans and supporters still holds a very special place in my heart. Cheers from Canada, and thank-you for the great video! 🇨🇦🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Our you watching the rangers hibs game tonight ⚽️⚽️⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good video. Hibs also got to the Semi final of the Fairs Cup.

You forgot Champions of the World 1887 beat Preston North End 2-1 in the final 😀👍⚽️🇳🇬🏆

great vid mate, very underrated youtube, keep it up

Would you know the origins of a team in Malta🇲🇹 called Hibernians any connection to Hibs of Scotland ? Maybe Irish connection

I was there when we beat malmo 6-0 at easter road still got programe.

Your videos are excellent, mate!! So glad your channel was listed on my suggested videos. #GGTTH

Very good video thank you 🙏

Fantastic !!! Come on The Hibees !!!

Great video 👍 I learned some new things about my own club as well 😂 Keep it up!

I am a Southampton fan but Hibs are my second/Scottish team since my great grandad was an Ulster Scot, makes sense cause the club is Scottish & Irish

Loving this channel by the way

Keep Up The Good Work Mate 💫

Brilliant videos 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

💚👍

The first team in Britain to beat Real Madrid 🟢◻️

....So to bring the Scots and Irish together they created a club with Irish name, Irish Logo and Irish motto saying: Ireland forever.....and placed it in Scotland....I can't see why the scots wouldn't love that....

Hopefully Edinburgh can match Glasgow soon.

Great video well done

Excellent video!

Nice one mate ggtth!

This guy is rising fast

At the time the country of Ireland was in a bad state the slums would have been an upgrade. Could have easily been avoided but we wouldn’t have got Celtic and Hibernian if Ireland didn’t have the famine

The Merger was really a takeover. They would have been called Hearts and played in maroon. Hibs would have formed again starting at the bottom. So I don’t imagine the merged team would have had a much bigger fan base than the clubs currently have.

!

Brilliant

Could u do a video Like this on st mirren

From Ireland they came

Great video of my fellow Irish who were forced to come to Scotland because of the genocide. Thanks very much Simon. You’re right, I bet there’s not many who knew they got to the Semi-Final of the inaugural European Cup .

Get into a Hibs v Hearts game next time. Sit in the south stand. You’ll never ever forget it. It’s so constantly loud.

It's hard to say what a united Hibs/Hearts would've done. How many fans would they have had? I remember it well when the news broke that Wallace Mercer at Hearts had made the proposal, an already fierce rivalry intensified ten fold. I really don't think many fans would've supported a united team. Hearts and Hibs try to emulate the Old Firm rivalry, the 'Proddies' and the 'Tims'. Hearts have a real anti catholic element to their fan base and to many are seen as the 'Mini Huns' , Hibs, obviously with their roots and tradition are seen as the Irish catholics ( even though they don't actually associate with the nationalism or religion associated with Celtic), so it's my belief the venture, had it actually gone ahead would've been doomed to failure. I don't believe they'd have had a fan base to work with, so the death of two clubs with history and tradition would've been for nothing.

Super video gretings from México

Do some Premier League gameweek prediction.

Hibeeees💚
