Only Lawrie out the 5 was a born and bred Hibby. Quote " I was born Hibby, lived my life a Hibby and when the time comes I will die a Hibby."

Beg to differ
Jimmy Kerr was my uncles friend and the first " non family" Hibbee I ever met !!
He was born in Ormiston in 11919 and was a Hibbee thro' and thro' even although he went on to play for Q of Sth

I was at school (primary & secondary) with a guy who almost made it as a footballer - he was at Aberdeen then Hearts before eventually being released when he was about 20/21.

He was Celtic daft up until the time when Hearts "Mita" won the league - he changed allegiance and has been a rabid yam ever since.

I find it hard to understand people that can do that.

There was a thread on this very forum not all that long ago in which quite a few of the 'die hard' Hibbies who post on here told stories of being rescued from the clutches of the Old Firm cult .... not least of all my good self.

From 26/05/1967 until roughly 4:30pm on 03/05/1975 I could have been described as 'Celtic daft'. This aberration started the day after Celtic had won the European cup as I and far too many of my school friends were seduced by this massive and exotic bit of success into joining the Celtic camp, I lived in Leith at the time and I assure you it wasn't just me. The aberration ended on 03/05/1975 as I listened on the radio to Celtic's sledgehammer smashing Airdrie's nut in the Scottish cup final.

As I listened to that game it began to dawn on me more and more that as a proud Edinburgh lad ( even though I was and still am exiled in the Borders ) I had no business supporting a team from a different city and that I had in fact, like it or not, spent the previous 8 years as a snivelling glory hunting bloody little traitor to my city and my roots.

From the end of the game I resolved to support an Edinburgh team .... it might have been the Yams in all honesty, but having lived in Leith as a kid and having vague memories of being a Hibs fan prior to being drawn to the dark side it really had to be the Hibees. At the start of the 76/77 season I went with my pal to my first ever Hibs game ( in fact my first ever professional football match ) .... Hibs 1 Dundee Utd 2 ... Hamish McAlpine scored a penalty.
But that didn't matter, from the second I got to the top of the stairs and looked down on the pitch from the summit of that huge terracing I was hooked body and soul ...... Hibees for life through thick and thin and even thinner.

I suppose I didn't so much change from Celtic to Hibs as go back to Hibs from Celtic .......... They say you cant change your team, but if you ask me the one time you can do that with honour is when like so many kids you have been brainwashed into following the glory hunting herd and the ability to exercise independent thought that comes with experience allows you to realise what a huge mistake you have made.

Yup realise that now - sorry !!
Ah ! My age has let me down again : will need to get back on the tablets

Yogi's boyhood team shouldn't matter too much as he was pretty poor for Hibs anyway (great contribution in the millennium derby aside) and should never be in ahead of Scottish Cup winners Hanlon and McGregor.

A pairing we can hopefully enjoy for another 3/4 years.

I notice a few folk saying Cropley and I'm sure he has a great fondness for Hibs, but when I was in his taxi the man himself told me he was a Celtic fan (he mentioned this after I told him I was off to watch Dundee Utd v Celtic).

In his book, he doesn't actually say which team he supported. He does, though, say that he went to ER a lot.

From Galashiels, his dad was a Celtic fan and think JC played Celtic bhoys club.

JC played for Hutchie Vale as a teenager, whence Hibs signed him. Same age group as Eddie May. Gordon Neely was the coach!!
