Naw his legs were gone here when he signed from ICT but he signed for Falkirk knowing his legs had gone according to what he said on Sunday from the Falkirk Stadium
George McCluskey ?
Farid El Alagui
Jonathan Baillie
The Monk ?
He didn't retire with Hibs. He was stupidly freed because the club didn't want to pay for an ankle op. He paid it himself.Quote:

Who did Gunn play for after us?
im relying (rightly or wrongly) on memory not Google or Wikipedia so happy to be corrected. But you understand the premise - others managed anyway.Quote:

Chris Killen was injured for months before leaving Hibs for Celtic via Cardiff City, but he hadn't retired.
But he didn't retire. His post-Hibs achievements were remarkable in themselves.Quote:

Not just stupid but utterly shameful considering his service for Hibs up to that point.Quote:

To be honest, I find it hard to be angry with the player on that one. The blame sits solely with Hibs for not doing adequate checks to find out what the player already knew. He had no attachment to Hibs, he had bills to pay. If Hibs do their medicals, etc. and tell the player he's fit enough to do what they need him to, he's not going to turn down a wage and say "sorry guys you're wrong, I'm finished"Quote:

I'd have to look it up but I remember reading in one of my Hibs books about a player crediting Sir John Bruce with saving his career. Ahead of his time I think when certain injuries were deemed career ending.Quote:

I think it was Gordon Smith.Quote:

I suppose it was just his ( OTD) lack of respect and unprofessional attitude that so angered me in his podcast in 2014 after we went down
Laughing about it did not help
RV said he told a Director when we were sixth that there were issues with TB in the Changing Room but was told there was nothing to worry about we were safe
He also said they had started young Ross Caldwell at an away game and he got told to warm up with about 10 minutes to go and refused to go on ?? Hibs ended up dropping points IIRC
Tom McNiven was highly regarded as being way before his time went away with Scotland and would even lend his services to all players even from the amateur ranks with any help he could offerQuote:
