For the first time watching Hibs, today I actually felt old. Sitting there watching kids like Harris, Stanton, Cummings and Martin is one thing, but then we bring on Shaw who looked the same age as my son - that did it for me.
Great to see these young kids play 1st team football but for me - Time for the pipe and slippers.

Just wait till you are my age, I have a grand daughter that is older than half our team.
{I know on my avatar it says I am 55 [if only], I am 62 and feeling every year of it when I climb the stairs to the FF upper]

I felt the same last year when I discovered that Scott Robertson, the oldest player in the squad, was a year younger than me!
Sadly I think that the chances of me playing for the hibees has past

For me it was when I hit 35 and then realised I'd never play for Hibs (just as well - I wasn't that good).
Now the manager is years younger than me, never mind the players - time just seems to fly by.

Including the subs that didn't get on, I reckon there were 7 still in their teens. So about 3 and a half of them equals me

I remember knowing I was the sage age as David Beckham and Tiger Woods. I thought of myself as their peer.
Then reality kicks in 20 years later

How many players under 21 in the squad today? Must have been about 6 or 7 with about 5 of them getting a game. Good to see.

I remember going away to Celtic Park under JC and hearing the team and I think 8 or so were younger than me. Kind of figures my chance of a career was over at that point.
