Always thought that was a brilliant, superbly balanced pic. It's one that can genuinely be classed as iconic as you mention.

The same afternoon Kilmarnock won the league at Tynecastle. Idiotic fixture scheduling is clearly nothing new in Scotland...

My Dunbar supporting mate told me a tale of "Benny" in his Bonnyrigg Rose days. Dunbar had a striker called Jimmy Laidlaw and he was playing his last game before emigrating Down Under. Benny had been annoying him all match so a couple of minutes before time Laidlaw turned round and landed a haymaker on Benny's large nose. Result: red card for Laidlaw and a stretcher for Benny who was spark out. 

Of course I can't condone such football violence... but it sounds funny as f*ck.

Never seen that Hibs badge before. Badge has a rather European feel to it.

It was designed by Hibs Chairman Tom Hart round about the 1970s IIRC and was popularly known as the Crown and Cushion. In the late 1980s they had to change it as you weren't allowed to use a crown design apparently (something to do with only royalty getting to use the crown or some such shite). 

The Hibs board at the time came up with the "fried egg and chips" as a replacement which was supposedly "European":

 You can still see the outline of that badge design on the metalwork of the Famous Five stand. Replaced in 2000 by the current badge.
