    I was at the Western end of the North stand, so right behind it.  Only two other Hampden strikes rival it, for me: Cooper's free-kick in the '87 Skol Cup Final and Barry Ferguson's free-kick in the Lovenkrands Cup Final. 

    John Grieg’s against Italy in 65 was a fair o.ld shot .

    To make @compo greet.
     

    1955 FA Cup Final, Newcastle United v Manchester City (I thought City only got invented five years ago) 

     

    3-1 United and four Scottish Internationalists on the park, Jimmy Scoular, Bobby Mitchell and Ronnie Simpson (uncapped at the time) for United and Bobby Johnstone, City. Johnstone scored with a header. United defence should have been ashamed.

     

    City won the 1956 Final, Johnstone scored again.

    I was told this by a former Hibs captain when Simpson and Stein were at Easter Road Stein never took to him as a goalie hence he got rid of him then both ended up at Parkhead and the rest as they say is history, it’s a funny old game as Greavsie used to say .
