Sunset on Hibs: The Plot to Destroy Hibernian
by David Duff
€ 18.75
ISBN: 9781913759018
'If you think you know everything there is to know about Hearts owner Wallace Mercer's bid to buy Hibs, think again. Stunning new light is cast on one of Scottish football's biggest-ever stories' - Alan Pattullo
David Duff was Chairman of Hibernian at the most extraordinary time in its history. In 1990, Heart of Midlothian chief Wallace Mercer pushed for a merger of the two Edinburgh clubs. But instead of creating one united Edinburgh team capable of challenging the Old Firm, it became abundantly clear that these machinations would see Hearts flourish and Hibs destroyed. With internal shareholders wanting to sell out, the end seemed inevitable.
David Duff had other ideas. Joining forces with outraged fans he spearheaded boardroom resistance against this takeover, which would have meant the end of the club they loved. For the first time, Duff tells the explosive inside story of the plot to destroy Hibernian and the real motivations of those behind it. Featuring some of the best-known names in Scottish business and football, it is a riveting tale of double-dealing, greed and betrayal.
