For the oldies reading this - Colin Stein.
I was only 10 or 11 at the time but was genuinely upset.

[Zazu62]

Rocastle, after he left he just disappeared of the footballing map

[heidtheba]

Andy McLaren

More obvious choice;
Kenny Miller

Yes, I was heartbroken when he left to join the huns - remember my old man explaining that they had big money, think they paid £100,000 back in '69

Ally Scott.

He had a couple of unbelievable pie recipes apparently and if we'd been more patient we wouldn't be getting the catering issues we hear about today.

You can't always put football first, a missed opportunity.

Brown, Thomson, Riordan, O'Connor, Whittaker and Fletcher.

If we'd held on to all of them a bit longer we'd have been quite good.

Dobbie

We should sign him in Jan on a short term deal. A finisher is what we need now.

Hartley

Damn, yes, this one. I really liked him as a winger at ER. I also liked Paul Lovering but he wasn't good enough for SPL when we went up.

[SteveHFC]

Wish we kept Hartley and Dobbie.

Two players who went on to have good careers.

Interesting thread . Names so far show how signings tend to be hit and miss whoever is manager ( injuries , fitness , form of our team at time , off field problems , etc ) so we , like our rivals , have to decide between signing players who are not standard we hope for but might improve ( Murray this year and Boyle when he signed for example ) and others who have done well or okay at a high level but might have fitness / attitude problems ( Holt , Stokes and many others ) . This thread shows that we have had some really talented players in the last 6 or 7 years who haven`t made a long - term impact at Hibs or their clubs after leaving us ( so far ) . As January window approaches , what do we want ? Short answer - talent of Harris /de Vaz and others if we can find a way to use their skills and motivation and effectiveness of players like Liam Craig ( good goalscoring record in a supposedly inferior Hibernian team and again with St Johnstone must be better than players in our current team ) . Only talking of ex Hibs players here and trying to be realistic
about circumstances which change so much .

Fabian Yantorno and Yannick Zambernardi.


Also, Le God Franck Sauzee. Should never have been sacked as manager and still think the board were bang out of order treating such a legend the way they ended up doing .

McLaren had a great trial match against Sunderland. Not sure why he didn't sign,

Yantorno was gash for us, injured but a really good guy. Zambernardi will always be known for the floated pass, but the ultimate punt to Hearts in the 4-4 game. Still my worst Derby ever.

It was £100,000........ was it not the first 6 figure transfer in Scotland?

yes it was

i THINK HIS iBROX DEBUT WAS THE NEXT WEEK VS hIBS

He scored a hatrick in a 6-1 win

Peter Marinello in 1970 in "a cloak and dagger" deal to Arsenal. I still remember the Evening News headline breaking the news

Also breaking up the Tornadoes - Gordon and O'Rourke to begin with as others have mentioned

[Tornadoes70]

Craig Paterson

A quality defender until he moved to the huns which earned him his own song of -

'Craigie Paterson Craigie Paterson what's it like to be a hun, what's it like to be a hun'.

to the tune of Bread of Heaven.

Normally a decent enough pundit nowadays though with not much bad to say about us unlike the hun pundit Craigan who I can't stand.

[Baader]

Everyone who went on to have a good top flight career after Hibs!

Naming just one, Super Leigh.

[California-Hibs]

De la Cruz on his day was superb. Loved that guy, some pace abc ability, almost unplayable in the AEK Athens home game

I'm not sure either - didn't Williamson pay his wages during that trial with his own money. Was the board not impressed with McLaren's past? Harsh I suppose, given what he went through and the demons he had to face.

Yip and Peter Cormack with Colin Stein & Neil Martin up front. We would have sensational.

Agathe, boy was just different class.

Wee Agathe was a good player. Had a terrific career at Celtic.

Got to add Archibald, Broony and Sparky.

[Caversham Green]

I suspect there won't be many in agreement with this one given the pelters he got on here, but I saw Shelton Martis play down here quite a few times, and every time he was probably the best defender on the field.

According to McLarens autobiography, from what I recall Hibs Board simply didn’t get back to him, even to say he wasn’t wanted.
