This is a great story which shows what football is all about and what it means to supportors. A 106 year old Hibs fan passed away on Thursday. Hed followed them for over 70 years and he'd seen them lose something like 7 Cup finals on the trot.

Amazingly he was still fit enough to go to Hampden in May to finally see his beloved Hibs lift the cup. He's gone on to his next journey now a very happy man. Delighted he got to realise his dream

RIP Sam
