Hibernian FC, Season 1982/83, No. 9: Hibernian v Aberdeen, 30 October 1982 matchday programme — Premier League; Pat Stanton, Alex Ferguson, Arthur Duncan, Jim McArthur

Official Hibernian FC matchday programme for the Scottish Premier League: Hibernian v Aberdeen, 30 October 1982, at Easter Road Park, Edinburgh. Cover price 30p, kick-off 3pm. Today's game sponsored by Scottish Brewers. The cover picture, an Evening News photograph, shows Jackie McNamara with eyes firmly fixed on the ball, breaking up a Motherwell attack when Hibs scored their first league victory. 'Manager's Comments' by Pat Stanton: anyone who watched Hibs at Ibrox on the Saturday, or saw the highlights on television, will appreciate that things did not go their way — three bad goals lost, a penalty missed and a goal disallowed in the first half, though the simple truth is that no team can throw away goals as they did and still hope to succeed. What delighted him was the manner in which the players suffered one knock after another and kept coming back into the game: once Arthur Duncan took over in goal from the injured Jim McArthur and conceded a goal immediately, some players might have thrown in the towel, but the lads buckled down even more earnestly. Two wins in a fortnight, against Motherwell and then Meadowbank in the Shield, had helped confidence. Today is a difficult one against Aberdeen, but 'my old gaffer Alex Ferguson will be aware that Hibs are just as anxious for the points and it should be an exciting contest'. A 'Games and Goals' table gives Premier League and other-games appearances and goals for the squad, and the Hibs lottery offers an Alfa Romeo from the club's sponsors, Fishers, for the price of a 25p ticket. Chairman and managing director Kenny Waugh; vice-chairman K. McLean; directors Alan J. Hart, James Kerr and Tom Younger; manager Pat Stanton.
