Real Madrid, Barcelona and Juventus are still not walking away from the failed European Super League Way before my time, so going only on what I've read, but Tommy Younger must be worth a shout?

Hibs wore green and white hooped shirts during the 1870s, [94] which was the inspiration for the style later adopted by Celtic. [98] Hibs then wore all-green shirts from 1879 until 1938, when white sleeves were added to the shirts. [94] This was similar in style to Arsenal, who had added white sleeves to their red shirts earlier in the 1930s. [99] The colour of the shorts was changed to a green which matched the shirts in 2004, to celebrate the fortieth anniversary of a friendly win in October 1964 against Real Madrid. [100] Green shorts were used in that match to avoid a colour clash with the all-white colours of Real Madrid. Hibs also used green shorts in the 2006–07, 2007–08 and 2008–09 seasons. [94] For the 2012–13 season, Hibs changed the primary colour of the shirts to a darker "bottle" green, instead of the normal emerald green. [101] A darker green had been used until the 1930s. [101] For the 2014–15 season, Hibs removed the traditional white sleeves from their home kit, as they changed to a darker green shirt in commemoration of the Famous Five forward line. [102]

Season 1951/52 saw another League Title and it was in September 1952 that many fans who witnessed the exploits of the Five suggested they saw them play their best game ever when, in Gordon’s Testimonial against English Champions Manchester United, the Hibs triumphed 7-3 with Turnbull (3), Reilly (2), Ormond and Gordon himself hitting the target. He was fondly remembered for his successful six years at St Johnstone, where he guided the Saints to European football for the first time in their history in 1971.
