Book Description
Hibernian Heroes takes you on to the pitch and into the dressing room with the Hibs players who finally ended the club’s 114-year wait for the Scottish Cup. Relegated, denied promotion and beaten cruelly in the dying seconds of the League Cup, they seemed destined for more heartbreak. But as the players strolled out for the 2016 Scottish Cup Final, fans greeted them with a prophetic banner. It read simply, ‘Time for Heroes’. Drawing on hours of exclusive interviews with players and staff, this book lays bare the grit, spirit and belief that transformed despair into glory. Witty, personal and thrilling, this is the inside story of the greatest Hibs side in a generation – guaranteed to delight supporters and anyone who loves an uplifting underdog tale.
