Mickey Weir: Hibs Legend (Part 1)
Jun 4, 2020
In the 9th and 10th editions of Lifestory we are joined by Easter Road hero Mickey Weir, who was part of the triumphant Hibs League Cup winning team of 1991. This first episode takes us through Mickey growing up in Granton, West Pilton and Clermiston and up to his first spell at Hibernian. We hear tales of of meeting up with his Dad and Grandad in the Do'Cot pub before going to watch the Hibees (getting thrown over the gate), doing a turn at New Year and living on soup, bread and tripe. Of 20-a-side matches in the park, going to the Triangle Club, day trips to Peebles and Burntisland, school days and inspirational coaches at St Augustines. Mickey also goes into playing for Porty Thistle, being signed by Hibs and his early days as an apprentice, getting into the first team and the sad circumstances that led him to temporarily leave the club.
Episode 2 Out this Thursday June 11th!
