**21sMay** · 12-01-2017 10:57 PM

Was just wondering what kind of team we could come up with if just Hibs fans from over the years ??

Goalie???? Can't think of one
Left back-- Ian Murray
Centre back-- Darren mgregor
Centre back-- John Hughes
Right back -- ??????
Left mid-- mickey weir
Centre mid- sir pat
Centre mid- John Collins
Right mid - ????
Centre forward-- Derek riordan
Centre forwards-- Keith wright

Any greats I've missed I apologise , these are the players I think have been great players and pretty sure all are Hibs fans

Goalie has to be John Leslie

John Collins and John Hughes no Celtic fans as boys? I'd always thought Hughes was a Hibs supporter but sure there was someone on here who insisted he was a Celtic supporter when he was younger who knew him. Think he'd be classed as one of us now though!

**fat freddy** · 12-01-2017 11:01 PM

Right back - Willie Miller

I can vaguely remember this, I'm sure I watched it on tv. Was it at Tynie? What game was it?

***.Sean.*** · 12-01-2017 11:02 PM

And McNeil in goals, Willie Miller right back

**21sMay** · 12-01-2017 11:04 PM

I'd be shocked if Collins and Hughes are Celtic fans ?? But maybe they are , if so then Hanlon and Thomson for me

**1van Sprou7e** · 12-01-2017 11:06 PM

Hanlon>Mcgregor anyway

**truehibernian** · 12-01-2017 11:07 PM

Craig Paterson to replace Celtic fan Hughes, wee Gordon Strachan to replace Celtic fan Collins, and wee Robbo up front - just because he'd love to have played for Hibs 😉

**smithy_hibees** · 12-01-2017 11:09 PM

Young sparky.
Can't think of many ex players attending as many as griffiths does even though still plays at a very high level

**Sir David Gray** · 12-01-2017 11:23 PM

Leigh Griffiths has to be in that team somewhere.

Hughes's dad a Celtic fan but John a Hibee, used to go to the games.

Grant can run the book and take care of the Wags!

**aussie_hibee** · 13-01-2017 02:03 AM

Andy McNeil
Miller McGregor Hanlon Murray
Stanton Thomson Collins
Griffiths Reilly Riordan

Any more of the famous 5 or tornadoes that were also fans and could strengthen this?

His family were massive Celtic fans

At a recent sports brunch doo Yogi spoke of the proudest day in his career being when he made his debut for Celtic.

I'm sure his family were all Celtic fans and he was too when he was younger.

I was a bit drunk at the time but it does ring a bell.

***Winston Ingram*** · 13-01-2017 06:02 AM

Yogi was absolutely a Hibby. Collins was definitely a Celtic fan

***Juice-Terry*** · 13-01-2017 06:24 AM

Lawrie Reilly and Eddie Turnball (at least) from the FF.

***superfurryhibby*** · 13-01-2017 06:44 AM

Tommy Younger in goals, total Hibs man.

Callum Milne & Paul Kane on the bench

Yogi was one of those types who had Celtic as their big team but also followed Hibs. There were plenty of them around Leith back in the 70s & 80s. His uncle used to run the Leith Celtic bus from my old man's pub back in the day and Yogi 100% used to travel on it.

A bit like Alan Preston who was a Rangers fan before declaring his undying love for the charity thieves.

Yogi used to go up to the Hibs games as a laddie with all the boys from Leith Links/Lochend area, he was about 4-5 years younger than me but we all went up in one big group, a huge Hibee, his dad and brother were Celtic fans though.

I think because he came through our ranks we all assumed he was a Hibee but I'm pretty sure he's a Celtic fan.
