Q&A: Same again feeling for Hibernian
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Q. I notice Brighton's line-up for the opening game at Swansea did not seem to differ too much from the team in their final League game last term at Hereford. Has any team started the League season with the same line-up as the last League match of the previous season?
A. In 1923 and 1924, Hibernian reached the Scottish Cup final. The same team played - and lost (to Celtic and Airdrie) - on each occasion. The team (learned at my uncle's knee) was: Harper; McGinnigle, Dornan; Kerr, Miller, Shaw; Ritchie, Dunn, McColl, Halligan, Walker.
