Jimmy O'Rourke On this day in 1965
Jimmy ORourke would have been 77 today.
On this day 18th Sept 1965 on his 19th birthday Jimmy scored two goals in a 4=0 win at Tiny against Hertz.
Fans streamed in late,others were leaving as Hibs were 4=0 up within first eight minutes of the game.
Other 2 goals courtesy of my legendary hero Eric" the rebel" Stevenson.
Ok ..a thread from the Hibs.net archive retelling that game and a couple of other interesting links about and by Jimmy .
