The Famous Five (football)
The Famous Five is the collective term for Hibernian's forward line of Gordon Smith, Bobby Johnstone, Lawrie Reilly, Eddie Turnbull and Willie Ormond. The north stand at Easter Road was named in their honour when it was rebuilt in 1995.〔(Seating plan of the Famous Five stand ), Hibernian F.C. official site.〕 All five players have been inducted into the Scottish Football Hall of Fame.
Most or all of the players featured significantly as Hibs won league championships in 1948, 1951 and 1952 - a remarkable achievement given that the club has only won one other championship, in 1903. Hibs also finished second to Rangers in 1953 on goal average and second to Rangers by a point in 1950. The team was less successful in cup competitions, however. Their only Scottish Cup Final appearance in this period was in 1947, where they lost 2–1 to Aberdeen.〔(FEELING LUCKY? ), ''Sunday Herald'', 27 February 2005.〕 Hibs reached the final of the Coronation Cup in 1953 by winning against Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur, but lost 2–0 to Celtic in the final.〔(Coronation Cup in Glasgow 1953 ), RSSSF.〕
It was due to this successful period that Hibs were invited to play in the inaugural European Cup in the 1955–56 season,〔(Season 1955–56 ), www.europeancuphistory.com〕 even though the club had only finished in 5th place in 1955, 15 points behind champions Aberdeen.〔(Dons denied Euro spot.. ), Aberdeen F.C. official site.〕 The club reached the semi-finals of the European Cup, losing to Stade Reims.〔(BBC Sport )〕
The forward line was never picked as a whole unit for a Scottish international side. Four of the players appeared in a Scottish League XI game in October 1952, with Turnbull replaced by Dundee player Billy Steel.
