apocryphal tale

I was trying to find a hypocriphal tale I had previously seen on the internet. The tale went along the lines of a couple of Hibs fans were thrown in prison during the 1979 Scottish cup final second.replay. A policeman informed them that Arthur Duncan (Hibs player) had scored the winner in extra time but failed to mention it was an own goal. Please also note that tragedy of this tale includes the last time Hibs won the Scottish Cup was 1902. The Boston Red Sox jinx was a mere blip.

Umpteen searches proved fruitless, indeed I was somewhat startled at how few results I got for the word hypocriphal. Even more frustrating was the word was not showing up as a genuine word on google. Several bizarre spellings later things were getting even worse. Finally found the article after dropping hypocriphal from my search and discovered my mistake.

I'm still struggling to believe the word is apocryphal and not hypocriphal - so much for my education
