Time for Heroes: A Celebration of Hibs' Glorious 2016 Scottish Cup Victory - Softcover

The 114-year wait for the Scottish Cup to return to Leith is finally over. Year after year, Hibs fans have had to endure the taunts of rival supporters as their team continually failed to capture what had become its Holy Grail. Then, in the 92nd minute of a pulsating Scottish Cup final at Hampden on 21st May 2016, David Gray bulleted home the header that changed everything. The following day around 150,000 Hibees flocked onto the streets of Edinburgh to salute the players and manager who had made history. Now, in TIME FOR HEROES, Ted Brack relives the events of a tumultuous campaign, from the agony of a League Cup final defeat and the race for promotion to the ecstasy of Scottish Cup glory on a day that will never be forgotten.

Ted Brack is a retired Head Teacher and a lifelong supporter of Hibernian FC. Ted saw his first Hibs match in 1957, is a season ticket holder at Easter Road and is proud to own shares in the club which he loves. Ted was a regular contributor to the Hibs fanzine Mass Hibsteria and has written five books about the Hibees. As well as writing There is a Bonny Fitba Team, There's Only One Sauzee and The Game on New Year's Day, he co-authored Pat Stanton's Hibernian Dream Team and The Life and Times of Last Minute Reilly. Ted is married with four children and five grandchildren and lives in Edinburgh. Hibs winning the Scottish Cup in May 2016 for the first time in 114 years has made Ted a very happy man and he is honoured to have been able to write a book about this momentous triumph.
