Really sad to hear this. Joe joined us from Third Lanark and was a firm favourite at Easter Road. As you say, quite the penalty King.
RIP JoeThis is how it feels

Remember Joe, well and can't remember if he actually missed a penalty for us, a very good player back then in trying times for the club.
RIP Joe

I think he may only have missed one. An important one against Hearts.

Second, i can recall 3 where he did not score. Scottish cup tie v them 1966, new years day v them 1969 and fairs cup v hamburg 1969.
Sure he scored from the spot 40 times
RIP Joe

I think he may have missed a couple - the Evening News brought out a special edition with banner headlines when he did, it was such big news - but I do remember him being second top scorer with 15 goals (all but 2 being penalties) one season.
Wee Stevie won the pens, Joe stuck them away. Great double act.
I'm very sorry to hear he's died.

Joe was, normally, deadly from the spot but he missed a penalty at ****castle in the cup in 1966!! Originally Posted by HIBERNIAN-0762

Yes he did, took over from John Parke. Eric Stevenson won the penalties and Joe scored them. He had an unusual run up as he never lifted his head. R.I.P Joe. Originally Posted by greenpaper55

Was the first left back I saw for Hibs.
Met him in the Fenwick a couple of times on our way to / from Killie.
RIP Joe.

His family can be proud that he is still thought of so highly by the Hibs supporters from those days, that seem so long ago now..
First time I saw us win a New Years Derby was when Joe scored in a 1 nil victory at Easter Road in the late 60's..? I remember as a young boy, buzzing and dying to get home to brag about our win. My dad and uncles seemed pleased enough coming out the ground but I was jumping about..
RIP Joe and thanks for great memories.

08-08-2016 04:36 PM #23He sure was & im not sure we ever did a better piece of business. Played in about 200/300 consecutive games & I don't think he was ever booked. Super player & a true gentleman, sad news. Originally Posted by greenpaper55

So sad to hear of his passing. What a duo he and Eric Stevenson were. Eric won the penalties and Joe put them away as cool as you like. Thanks for the memories. RIP

Eric Stevenson to win the penalties and Joe to convert them - the dynamic duo.
RIP Joe and thanks for the memories.

My first Derby was at ER in New Year's Day late 60s. Hibs got a penalty with 10 mins to go. It had just started snowing and joe tucked it past Cruikshanks to win the game. Great memory
