100+ goals.
For me he was better than Frank. No striker we've had in the last 27+ years has been better than this chap. WHAT. A. TALENT.

Riordan was the best Hibs striker I seem in my lifetime. What a finisher. Right foot, left foot, 5 yards, 30 yards. He could score for fun.

Terrific natural ability and a joy to watch when on song. A match-winner.

Derek Riordan on top of his game was probably the very best player Hibs have had in the last 40 years, a wasted talent who should still be playing at the highest level with his natural ability but it was not to be sadly

Franck Sauzee was on a completely different level to DR and I'm pretty sure Derek would be first to admit that, that's not taking anything away from the talent DR has.

He'll never be bettered. Simple as. It astounds me folk can bicker and bitch about a man who bleeds Hibs and banged in in excess of 100 goals for the club. He's the biggest 'legend' (I hate that word) we've had in 20-odd years and as long as I follow Hibs he'll never be forgotten.
Local lad, loves Hibs, scored a barrowload for us, gave us time without number moments of sheer astonishment and he hates Hearts. I could go on and on.
The inevitable embarrassments who'll appear calling him a waster etc based on what they read and second-hand stories can beat it anaw''It's always been just part of the culture.

I wouldn't say he wasted his talent, but he certainly didn't achieve what his early potential promised. Either way he's played for Hibs, scored some amazing goals for Hibs and a player who I'll always remember foundly!

I was worried he had died or something the way people are talking about him!

I agree. It's a bit random as to why the OP decided to suddenly post this, and people set out to defend his reputation in advance.
Anway, has he retired from football or is he still playing? I heard he had a contract at East Fife for a while but dunno if that's still the case.

OK, so not sorted anything yet then.
That's a shame he's not still at East Fife. I heard they have severe budget restrictions this season so not too surprising.

Silverhibee will be all over this thread when he sees it .No doubt he will know what latest situation with Deeks is.
The rain teaming down at 4 am woke me up,and I watched all the goals ,then had a dream he was in ma hoose with an ex girlfriend of mine ,who had no idea who he was ,and we were reminiscing about all things Hibs . The variety of goals is what struck me, from wonder strikes. Hitting them first time on the volley, free kicks ,headers ,being in the right place at the right time to shuffling the ball from feet to feet and confusing defender before firing home ,and my favourite the number of times he got on the end of a raking diagonal pass out wide , minimal control and then straight into the corner .
Memories indeed .reminds me we still don't have anyone who can strike from distance with power ,now that Craig's gone . although S A s placed bending shot from outside a crowded penalty against Berwick was a joy to beholdLast edited by Ronniekirk; 18-07-2015 at 08:00 AM.

Delighted he played for us and supports us, fantastic finisher and as good as any I have seen play for Hibs and I have been lucky enough to see a few good ones.
