    Who did we sign too late?

    Thinking of players who joined Hibs late in their careers, if only we could have signed them earlier!! - examples

    Sauzee - if we could have got him a couple of years earlier!!!

    David Zitelli - great striker - destroyed Rangers a couple of seasons earlier - sure he was linked with Liverpool

    Kevin McAllister - always thought he was a special player before we finally managed to get him

    Joe McLaughlin - great centre half - signed him towards the end of his career

    John Burridge - what a keeper and a character

    Never thought I'd say this but, (gulp) Joe Harper.

    Ehhh, naw, I would never say that.

    John Hughes, Gary Smith, and Mixu all had many great years before they joined us and would have been true legends had they been with us from the start.

    George Best without a doubt. Imagine if we'd had the '68 vintage instead of the '79 vintage Best.

    No danger we could have got either of these players a couple of years earlier - Top European players that the time!

    Too young to really remember him at Chelsea but thought he was a fantastic player for us, best winger I can remember from my 20 years of following Hibs!

    Ally Scott & Graham Fyfe. Sorry, signing Peter Cormack quicker the second time would have been great.

    Joke or no that kinda post could get you life ban!



    Of all the names above I agree re Latapy and Sauzee in particular - but what about Dalglish (he played for us in a friendly I recall ). The other obvious shout is Bestie.

    Imagine a midfield wi wee Russell, Le God and Bestie in it - add Stanton and I'm in heaven!

    No space in there for Matty Jack? Always thought we could use someone in that mould....

    Joe Ward, by the time we got him, he'd forgotten how to score goals.

    If we had signed George Stewart instead of Jim Black, the Tornadoes would have won far more.
