Hibernian FC, Season 1979/80, No. 9: Hibernian v Aberdeen, 27 October 1979 matchday programme — Premier League; Eddie Turnbull, Tom Hart, Jock Stein, Tony Higgins

Official Hibernian FC matchday programme for the Scottish Premier League: Hibernian v Aberdeen, 27 October 1979, at Easter Road Park, Edinburgh. Cover price 17p, kick-off 3pm. The 'Hibernian 79-80' cover carries an action roundel; the cover picture shows Tony Higgins running into a wall of Morton defenders in the drawn league game at Easter Road, Roy Baines going down at his feet with Charlie Brown and Billy McLaren content to leave it to the keeper (Scotsman picture). The main feature, 'Hibs Are Not Alone In Search For A Scorer', notes that Scotland boss Jock Stein was searching for a forward too, and that big English clubs such as Aston Villa and Ipswich had the same problem — while defences are better organised and the accent is more on avoiding defeat, the striker's job is the toughest in football, and goals mean points. Hibs were the only side in Scotland with a single-figure score in the goals-for column, nine matches having produced only four goals; Sandy Clark of Airdrie is reckoned to command a price, with Hibs, Scotland and English clubs all looking around. 'Hibs' Record' gives full line-ups and scorers for the recent Premier League matches against Morton (6 October), Dundee United (13 October) and Rangers (20 October), with an appearances-and-goalscorers table for the squad — Higgins, Rae, Brazil, Callachan, McNamara, Duncan, Hutchinson, McArthur, Campbell, Bremner, J. Brown, MacLeod, Paterson, Stewart, Ward, McDonald, Lambie, Murray, Farmer, S. Brown and Rodier. Chairman and managing director Tom Hart; manager Eddie Turnbull; directors Tom Younger, Eddie Turnbull, John Christie and Alan J. Hart; secretary C. F. Graham.
