One for the Oldies. Identify the players.

[sleeping giant]

Found this photo from the 70's.
There's a few players in there.

Name the back row (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/600/hibs.jpg/)

[HibbyAndy]

Sly Stallone, 3rd in from the Left.

[Moulin Yarns]

?, Stanton, Brazil, ? Cropley, ?, O'Rourke, ?, ?

[Thief]

From quick glance, Pat Stanton, Jim Black, Alex Cropley and Jimmy O'Rourke :hibees
Not sure about the rest.

[sleeping giant]

I should have added that they are not all players. It was a supporters club dance.

I only know for certain that Stanton and O'Rourke are there but there are others. I just can't place them.

[cabbageandribs1875]

in answer to cad...that's pat stanton, anyway, i take it the guy between cropley and jimmy o'rourke is a 'fan' aye :confused:

[DroitwichHibs]

The guy sitting down at the table on the left...Is that not John Hazel? (looks like he's had a few??) ...and a long shot far right, there was a young goalie called Bobby Mathieson, early 70's- could be him!!

[sleeping giant]

Cheer for the replies and PM's. I'll find out exactly who is in it tomorrow and let you know.

Lindsay Muir is in there

[Iggy Pope]

Lindsay Muir is in there

No he isn't. Unless he is in drag.

[Baldy Foghorn]

No he isn't. Unless he is in drag.

In between Jim Black and Alex Cropley, he is a close friend of my friend, and he works in the Finance Industry in Edinburgh....

[Baldy Foghorn]

Looks like 3 of the back row are not players?

[ALF TUPPER]

[iwasthere1972]

:agree: I have been saying that all season.

[The Harp]

I'd be surprised if there's any more players there than Pat Stanton, Jim Black, Alex Cropley and Jimmy O'Rourke ... although one of the guys seated (the one on the right) looks familiar.

[ronaldo7]

A shout for the young guy on the right of the back row. Derek Spalding or Colin Campbell.

[Hiber-nation]

Could well be Derek Spalding. Recognise the guy to Jimmy O'Rourke's right - was he not the guy who had the programme stall? Or am I slavering..

[scoopyboy]

Ricky Reggina, Pat Stanton, Jim Black, non player, Alex Cropley, non player, Jimmy O'Rourke, non player, Derek Spalding?

[Brooster]

Lindsay Muir ,Derek Spalding and Colin Campbell those names take you back
I had a quick look yesterday I thought King Paddy was Ian Munro .
The guy on Jimmy O Rourkes end ( now thats a statement ) I think is a player who , god knows I would take a stab at Campbell or Muir , the guy to the right of him is a hairdresser thats been hit wi a lift or maybe a player called Brian Ross ??, ,and the guy at the far end next to Pat I dont think its Harper ,well it could be, Harper would have a drink in his hand , thats what confused me ,but on closer inspection he is counting his changed so it could well be him

Had another look ,thats no Harper the guys to thin

[Bostonhibby]

Trust me, Lindsay Muir is not in that photo!

He is in this one though middle row first left. I reckon when the photograph in question was taken (looking at the youthful Alex Cropley!), Lindsay would be about 13! (Colin Campbell would be even younger and Joe Harper was at Aberdeen)

Who is that behind Alex Edwards? And behind Bobby Smith?

[Iggy Pope]

Who is that behind Alex Edwards? And behind Bobby Smith?

Derek Spalding and Pat Carroll respectively (assuming you're talking about the team shot.....)

[IFONLY]

The guys either side of Cropley are on his right Alec Durie and on his left Alex Strang definitesAlec Durie is dead now and Alex Strang stays in Clermiston they were members of the old Edinburgh West branch

[sleeping giant]

Right , 4 players in the photo.

From top left....Jimmy Carr , Sir Patrick of Stanton , Jim Black , Alex Durie , Cropley , Alex Strang , Jim O'Rourke , Danny McArrin , Gordon McKay .
Bottom row are Andy Nicholson and Tam Bailey.

Photo was taken at Annandale Bus Depot and i think it was a Dance for Harper.

Bit of an amateur historian and serious programme collector/dealer of late. (I have no idea if he has had any official involvement with Hibs).
Nice chap, very ginger. :greengrin
