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.

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.

Got to be a places for Alex Cropley and Ralph Callaghan, both big Hibbys.

Yogi has confirmed that many times. Celtic fan as a boy became a Hibee later on.

He was taken to Celtic games as a lad but started going to Hibs games with all his mates from Links area when he was a teenager.

Robin Rae

I remember a match at Fir Park (I think) where he was standing just in front of me in the away end - he spent most of the match with a latex mask over his head.

Strange!

Even funnier given how that league campaign ended.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 13-01-2017 11:55 AM

Mike McDonald for keeper, not sure if he is a Hibby but, IIRC he was at the last London Hibs Burns Supper.

***Bobo*** · 13-01-2017 12:06 PM

Goalie has to be John Leslie

Pat Nevin played to a high standard and is a Hibs fan.

**~~southsider~~** · 13-01-2017 12:31 PM

John was from Pumperstpn not B & B but grow into the club. Nevin , Grey , Aly McL , Jackie Mac. Many , many others.

**~~southsider~~** · 13-01-2017 12:36 PM

Par N is a top man. Did not want to subject his children to the lRA stuff at Parkhead but did want them to give them the joy of football. They were all ST's in the old East.

**4WAW** · 13-01-2017 12:40 PM

Left back has to be Shades, Erich was star in that position. Any place for Lawrie Reilly and Ned, or the fabulous Baker boy? Maybe a shout for Gordon Hunter as well? So many options that I can think of but not sure about their "fan" status.

**jdships** · 13-01-2017 01:06 PM

Given my age ,84, it can only be

Kerr
Govan
Shaw
Finnigan
Aird
Kean
Smith
Johston
Reilly
Turnbull
Ormond

" When will we see their likes again ?"

**howdenthehibby** · 13-01-2017 02:01 PM

Jackie Macnamara snr and Ralph Callachan

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."

***hibeg*** · 13-01-2017 03:22 PM

Alex Cropley would have to get a game

**Tamhere1875** · 13-01-2017 04:46 PM

A certain Mr Henderson?

***silverhibee*** · 13-01-2017 05:08 PM

No room for big Nishy.

Lawrie Leslie maybe?
He started with Hawkhill Amateurs which is a Dundee team I believe so he may not have necessarily been a Hibs fan before signing.

Sure Lawrie Leslie is a Niddrie born guy.
