I've heard them sing it before, but the unrivalled passion if anyone's watched the clips of the Hibernian fans singing Sunshine on Leith after their derby win over Hearts at the weekend was awesome. If you've not seen/heard them, there are loads of clips, anorak me has watched a bunch of them.

Absolutely my favourite footie song of them all and makes the hairs stand up when I'm listening to it with no affiliation, goodness only knows what it must be like to be a part of that as a supporter. Makes me want to go and watch them to hear it live. Simply amazing.

Found myself randomly watching the highlights as they came up on Youtube the other day.
The quality of football looked poor, but the atmosphere did look really impressive, especially with the players and fans singing together at the end.
Both the Hearts and second Hibs goals were screamers as well

Was working in Scotland a few years ago and had a wonder around Easter Road. Wouldn't look out of place in the Championship

I lived in Edinburgh not that far from Easter road. I also knew a massive Hibees and Sky Blues person very well when living in Melbourne. I've been to Leith many times.

The rendition in finally winning Scottish FA cup beating Rangers in 2016 is a must listen too on youtube. So pleased for them to win that day.

I love The Proclaimers too!

I live 15 minutes from the stadium. Surrounded by Hibees for near on the last 19 years.

Wasn't it suggest it for a Sheaf chant a couple of seasons back?
