I'm an Australian who knows bugger-all about Scottish football. Or any football really. On the train on the way from England to Edinburgh last week, I heard a guy singing this and I smiled to myself, thinking "how fabulously Scottish that there's some random guy on the train singing a Proclaimers song." It's a great song, so I decided to watch it later on TH-cam. This led me to this clip and some research on its connection to Hibernian FC. Blew my little Australian mind. As a result I'm going to the Hibs v Dundee Utd match tomorrow. Hibs have a new fan for life.
Villa fan here with a very big soft spot for Hibs but this is just magical and no number of times watching it will ever change my opinion - the greatest football song and celebration ever!
QPR Fan here. Without doubt the greatest football anthem. The context , waiting so long to lift that trophy. The melody of the song , gentle parts, loud parts. The words, wonderful. Everything came together on that sunny day to create that masterpiece. We’ll done Hibs , it brings a tear to my eyes every time and will be watched on TH-cam forever 👏👏👏👏
I’ve watched this a hundred times and I was there crying my eyes out for all the Hibbies, including my dear Dad, who never lived to see the day the Hibs went up to lift the Scottish Cup. Will live with me forever 💚
@@andrewdillon-ey2gn Had the same m8 when Rogic hit the net in 88mins V Aberdeen at Hampden for the invincible winner... Had`nt cried for my late Da at all for 18 month. A dam burst an it was joyous.. RIP oor Da`s M8. GGTTH. HH. Fitba unites more than it devides mate.
Sat in the pub in Derby, all my pals are Derby fans. We've just watched this again. The comment was "even of you're Liverpool you have to admit this is the football anthem'.
@@aidenhorton18 The Hibs were founded by IRISHMEN...best ever ending to a Scottish cup final and easily the best sing song ever😂😂😂 mon the cabbage an ribs.....
Spurs fan here, lifelong but to have a song like this holding up a trophy with 40-50,000 singing it together. So unique and amazing well done Hibs I am jealous but support you in Scotland because of it lol
This video made me a Hibs fan.... I’m English, and under English Law you have to pick your team at aged 7... so my team is Everton... but I love this and Hibs is now my Scottish team 💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚
@@mattybhoy6373 it’s awesome, now old form have some great songs and my club has a great battle anthem Keep right on, but this one phew! Don’t know quite what to say!
My Dad. Was a lifelong Hibs fan. He worked hard all his life, a manual worker. He never got to see them play. He died when I was 16. I never heard him raise his voice and I miss him. Thank you for posting this. I think of him every-time I hear this now
It's reactions like these that make me believe there is more good than bad in the world. We're all in this together. Your dad must be proud. Take care, from the Netherlands.
I'm an Evertonian, But this is the best thing I've seen in a footy stadium ever.. I just wish I could have been a hibs fan that day.. It must have been amazing.. Top video top fans..
I'm a Liverpool fan but this is out of this world ,the raw ,built up emotion of not winning The Scottish Cup for over 100 years is realised in all its glory ,fantastic Hibees fans
I lived in Edinburgh for a few year ( I'm a Glaswegian & Celtic supporter) & the pals I met who were Hibs supporters & I spoke of football often and 1 day 1 of them asked me how does it feel to win the Scottish cup final & he was serious well this is how it feel Martin the Hibs supporters was were majestic singing sunshine on Leith it was write for such a historical occasion I also screamed for joy when David Gray nutted that winner in well done hibbies
FC Bayern München fan but honestly this is definitely the most beautiful club anthem in the world, respect to Hibs and your incredible fan base 🇩🇪🏴
I'm a Rangers fan brought up in Toryglen beside Hampden park but moved to London well over 30 odd years ago. We heard the Hampden roar from our house and I would love to have Heard Sunshine on Leith from the fans
@frenchice9084it isn't hate, I'm just talking the truth. My club in Finland never gets full stadium but when we play well there is 2000-3000 people more. They're just fans, not real supporters. And our football culture is so weak.
@@MultiJejje”Glory hunters” 😂 that’s funny considering we’re mediocre and won 3 trophies in 33 years and one of them took 114 years. (Add to that being relegated twice in my lifetime).
Norwich City fan. Hands down this is the most emotional footy anthem and singalong I’ve ever heard. Lived in Leith for a while, can almost feel the song. Awesome 👏
Being a Celtic fan, I’ve never celebrated another team winning a game of football so much. Absolutely belted this out on the day and 5 years on is still enjoyable.
I've only just come across this song and it's absolutely superb I'm a hartlepool fan but I've just watched the hibs fans belting out this awesome song and got emotional..AMAZING
My great great grandad founded the Hibs in the 19th century. Ironically we have an antique Hibs barometer from when the club was formed. Someone ran off to canada with the clubs cash which bankrupted the club. We all became jambos. When I was a wee kid my family hoodoo was Hibs wouldn't win the Scottish Cup until our family is back with the hibs. We were happy after 120 odd years you won again. As a musician and a passionate edinburger im really envious that you guys have the best Scottish song and I will play it at my funeral in these dark times as football is just a business.
Wow A Bolton Wanderers fan here,I was already feeling a little emotional and this has just brought tears to a 47 year old man's eyes. Absolutely beautiful,simply the greatest singalong I have ever seen. Well done Hiberninan and thank you ❤⚽️X
“A couple of years ago, when Hibs won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.” Alex Ferguson speaking about Hamden Park to the Daily Record a few years ago.
Im a Forest fan from Nottingham but my late Grandad was from Edinburgh & a Hibernian fan. I’ve always looked out for Hibs & periodically watch this video. What a beautiful rendition of a great song by a great band & exactly what Football is all about. Go on the Hi-Bees!!!
Remember driving up to see my lady love listening to a proclaimers CD and when this song came on I had to pull over because I was crying. It was exactly how I felt about her. Art.
I had a mate a massive Hibs fan who moved south to Manchester obviously adopting City as his option down here. He went back to Edinburgh for games as often has he could but he died around a decade ago and I`m gutted he missed this game he would have loved it.
Sunderland. Best thing ever seen in football. Not the biggest club. Not the most trophies. Not the most fans around the world. Not the biggest ground. No matter. The best moment. Well done. 👏🏻
I'm a Celtic fan but I've always had a soft spot for Hibs and their fans. Sunshine on Leith happens to be my karaoke song aswell. Amazing lads and lassies what a support 👏👏👏👏
Being from Northampton in England, I have no connection to Hibs. But Trainspotting is my favourite book and after reading the 5th instalment, it describes this final from the main characters perspective so beautifully that it's touched me ever since. When Renton narrates that him, Spud, Begbie and Sick boy are singing Sunshine in Lieth and he observes that it's the first time they have actually sang it together in unison, it raised hairs on the back of my neck. Not only the a club finally having their moment in the sun, but a group of friends with a troubled and fregmented history finally having a brief but genuine moment of mutual joy shared together.
The best stadium singing EVER!. Makes me a Hibs fan instantly. I've been to many many concerts, but this is one 'not-concert' I wish I attended..... Goosebumps allover!!!
I am a fan of Hajduk from Split Croatia. We have been waiting for the title for 20 years. "Our persistence against their arrogance.". just proud.. beautiful song.
Heard this and for only the third time in my life, something football related touched my heart. I went on holiday and sang this at a karaoke bar and after I sang it, a woman came up crying her eyes out and said “Thank you” and relayed that it was her late husbands favourite. Wow, some things transcend football.
I’m reading through a book on football chants and songs, and one of the chapters ends by explaining this song. So I come to find it here, and I cannot fully express the emotion that’s overcome me. This is just beautiful. And it makes me so sad that the British football crowd has been absent for so long during this pandemic. I want it to be over tomorrow, so all you beautiful people can bring the soul back to this game and to these clubs. The world needs it right now. I know I do.
QPR fan here ... This is phenomenal!! I return to this quite often!! Brings a tear to the eye... wish my lot could replicate this kind of atmosphere!! Well done all of you!
30,000 Hibees thanking the club for the memories while the club, it's players and staff, look on in awe and accept what is being bestowed on them. I'm not a fan or even Scottish, but it's enough to move even my cold, dead heart, truly.
Not a hibs fan. But every few years I probably stick this on and comment. And I stand by what I say every time. This is arguably one of best, purest, most positive moments in Scottish footballs history. What a moment.
Janet this makes me have tears in my eye's because my brother was a hibs fan, he was so proud that day when hibs won the cup, he was also proud of the hibs fan and the singing he got the song uploaded on his phone, I'm so glad he lived to see this he died of cancer in 2017 he always said we've waited a long time for the cup and we finally did it,l really think he had a tear in his eye's he was a bit emotional. !!! ( RIP James sweet brother miss you)
I WILL KEEP YOUR BELOVED BROTHER IN MIND WHEN LISTENING TO THIS SONG MY FRIEND- BE SAFE AGUS STAY STRONG- DEUS VULT (God wills it )🇨🇮🤝🇬🇧💚🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚🐕👋
I’m a Celtic fan & I keep coming back to this time & time again. Absolutely love it. It’s not even my team but it’s fantastic & sung with such passion. I remember that day,belting it out with you in my livingroom. It’s fantastic and gets me right in my heart every time.💚
Passion in football is what makes football....I love leeds united and we are a passionate bunch... but this is one of the most spine tingling moments I've ever seen in football
M8 as a 60 yr old Hibs fan I went down toLeeds in 73 for a UEFA cup tie and we played a fabulous Leeds of the park and got beat on Pens at Easter Road ... my Favourite English Side 🙌
I've no connection with Hibs at all but so emotional after watching this as this song was played at my nephew's funeral. He tragically died in a fatal accident recently in NZ. He loved that song and many others by proclaimers
I’m Irish, a Celtic fan, love the Proclaimers - and absolutely adore this rendition - I salute the HiBees fans, wish the song was ours !!!! Oh, and six and a half years later … well done that day 😉😊👍👏👏👏
Likewise (Spurs fan for decades here in the States). I've never seen such a moving fan response, in any sport, at any time. Just spectacular. On top of that, there really was sunshine 🙂
Chills down the spine and misty eyes every time. Let’s be honest, it makes me sob like a baby. Knowing how long Hibs had to wait makes it all the sweeter. And I support an English team but I know that seeing your team lift their first trophy in your living memory is something that lasts forever. And what a song to share with your special people at a special time. ‘Mon the Emerald Sons of Leith. Top men
From an NUFC fan here, I watch this once a week. Pure passion and love for there team, this has helped me through lockdown this video. Gives you hope x
Derby fan here. What an amazing day and what an awesome spectacle! It gave me goosebumps and tears for this magnificent rendition of a great song. Hibernian, I salute you from the bottom of my heart for this raynof sunshine from Leith to Derby! ⭐️⭐️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I'm an Australian who knows bugger-all about Scottish football. Or any football really.

Im fae the west coast and hold no football allegiance,nor have any interest, and have watched this or other variations huners of times.
@@bigfatcol “Dirty Northern B*st*rds! And Other Tales From the Terraces” it’s a fun read. Informative, but mostly fun.
@@adamtroxtell223 It's on its way to me from Amazon. It looks like I'll enjoy it
Well said Adam, cheers.
QPR fan here ... This is phenomenal!! I return to this quite often!! Brings a tear to the eye... wish my lot could replicate this kind of atmosphere!!
Well done all of you!
No matter how many times you watch this, it's magical and a thing of beauty.
Got to say the jocks are loud and proud!!! Respect
One of the greatest games I’ve ever seen. Congratulations Hibs from a Sheff Utd fan!
30,000 Hibees thanking the club for the memories while the club, it's players and staff, look on in awe and accept what is being bestowed on them.
I'm not a fan or even Scottish, but it's enough to move even my cold, dead heart, truly.
Not a hibs fan. But every few years I probably stick this on and comment. And I stand by what I say every time.
This is arguably one of best, purest, most positive moments in Scottish footballs history.
What a moment.
I'm the same I'm a St. Patrick's athletic fan in dublin
I'm Leeds United,but that was awesome Hibs, choked me up,amazing
Leicester City fan - Just Wow! - heard about this a few days ago - can't stop watching it - fantastic and emotional - brings a tear to the eye.
Emotional nearly in tears , god bless the hibees from celtic 🇮🇪
I really love this, can’t get it out of my head. Im a Leeds fan but now when people ask if I like Celtic or rangers I’m just going to say “Hibs”.
We are Leeds💗
Leeds MOT glory glory
Remember each half of the Gelderd End chanting Celtic or Rangers. Just to be awkward, I'd chant Aberdeen.
Janet this makes me have tears in my eye's because my brother was a hibs fan, he was so proud that day when hibs won the cup, he was also proud of the hibs fan and the singing he got the song uploaded on his phone, I'm so glad he lived to see this he died of cancer in 2017 he always said we've waited a long time for the cup and we finally did it,l really think he had a tear in his eye's he was a bit emotional. !!! ( RIP James sweet brother miss you)
So sorry to hear of his passing, take care
He died a happy man. Stay strong
I WILL KEEP YOUR BELOVED BROTHER IN MIND WHEN LISTENING TO THIS SONG MY FRIEND- BE SAFE AGUS STAY STRONG- DEUS VULT (God wills it )🇨🇮🤝🇬🇧💚🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚🇮🇪💚🐕👋

Rangers fan.Watched the whole video as a tribute to him💙
I’m a Celtic fan & I keep coming back to this time & time again. Absolutely love it. It’s not even my team but it’s fantastic & sung with such passion. I remember that day,belting it out with you in my livingroom. It’s fantastic and gets me right in my heart every time.💚
Thank you Hibs for a moment I can come to whenever I am down. Sometimes, just sometimes the good guys win. Hugs and kisses.
It took 47 seconds to have me in tears and I don't even support Hibs.
Absolutely beautiful moment.
Love and respect from a Liverpool fan. ❤
Absolutely magnificent. A truly emotional rendering.
This is when football is unbeatable.
Hereford FC fan in awe.
Passion in football is what makes football....I love leeds united and we are a passionate bunch... but this is one of the most spine tingling moments I've ever seen in football
M8 as a 60 yr old Hibs fan I went down toLeeds in 73 for a UEFA cup tie and we played a fabulous Leeds of the park and got beat on Pens at Easter Road ... my Favourite English Side 🙌
Brings a good few tears every time.
Simply beautiful
AS a Celtic fan I loved watching hibs beat Rangers, but the fans after the final whistle was AWESOME, they can live on this youtube coverage forever.
Bit like the 1980 final 😂😂
From a Celtic Fan, ...excellent lads. Brilliant rendition of a great song.. Love it.
West Han fan here that was incredible to listen to, I got Irish on one side of the family and Scottish on the other
You are blessed then my friend 🏴🇮🇪💚
Bluenose here. Brilliant, such passion, have been at Easter Rd ( v Celtic) to hear this. Keep right on !!!!!
From your Celtic cousins ....beautiful stuff guys !
I've no connection with Hibs at all but so emotional after watching this as this song was played at my nephew's funeral. He tragically died in a fatal accident recently in NZ. He loved that song and many others by proclaimers
I’m Irish, a Celtic fan, love the Proclaimers - and absolutely adore this rendition - I salute the HiBees fans, wish the song was ours !!!! Oh, and six and a half years later … well done that day 😉😊👍👏👏👏
Wouldn’t be the first thing you stole from us…
Came across this again,,, still twangs the heart strings,, fabulous,, from a celtic fan 🍀 🍀 🍀 🍀
Massive respect from Tottenham fan!! Big shout out to the Hibs fans
Lol your respect means nothing
What do you expect coming from a gooner
Likewise (Spurs fan for decades here in the States). I've never seen such a moving fan response, in any sport, at any time. Just spectacular. On top of that, there really was sunshine 🙂
Chills down the spine and misty eyes every time. Let’s be honest, it makes me sob like a baby.
Knowing how long Hibs had to wait makes it all the sweeter. And I support an English team but I know that seeing your team lift their first trophy in your living memory is something that lasts forever.
And what a song to share with your special people at a special time. ‘Mon the Emerald Sons of Leith. Top men
From an NUFC fan here, I watch this once a week. Pure passion and love for there team, this has helped me through lockdown this video. Gives you hope x
Derby fan here. What an amazing day and what an awesome spectacle! It gave me goosebumps and tears for this magnificent rendition of a great song. Hibernian, I salute you from the bottom of my heart for this raynof sunshine from Leith to Derby! ⭐️⭐️👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Fiver in the bank son
