In over 50 years of watching Hibs and following football in general, I have never seen a player been utilised more than Lewis Stevenson!
He has played in the following positions for Hibs over the last 10 years:
Left Back
Left Wingback
Right Back
Right Wingback
Centre Half (must be the smallest CH in the world )
Left Midfield
Centre Midfield

I wonder if Neil has him penned in for a forward role in the future or even as a back-up keeper

luv the wee guy

Sorry pal,you're accentuating the good points about Lewis and I'm not sure that's how it works on here😎😎

[GillyHibee]

Might not be the most talented player ever but he gives 110% every game and plays for the jersey. Takes some stick too, but never puts him down

[SChibs]

Didn't realise he was captain on saturday too.

[Famous Fiver]

Tam the kitman etc must be worried about his job!!

Lewys could do it in his spare time!

[hibsbollah]

I didn't know he was used as RB.

[Moody Blues]

Great squad Player. Other teams would love to have him. Always gives 100%.

[Dashing Bob S]

I was talking to an older fan about this who reckoned that Peter Cormack once played in goals for Hibs, as well as defence, midfield, striker, winger on both sides of the pitch.

The fact that Lewis still gets stick from some people is frankly hilarious.

When you put down the cold, hard facts he's an absolute legend that it is a privilege to be able to watch.

Our memories will get hazy and we will forget the very occasional times that he got skinned or misplaced a pass, and we will look back on his time with us with increasing fondness.

Saturday - "mind that time when he captained us to victory at Ibrox, playing out of position at centre half in a defence that was short of 2 right backs and our 2 first choice centre halves?"

"Mind that time when he played centre mid with Steven Thicot and helped us grind out a victory at Tynecastle in spite of being without more that half of our first team?"

"Mind when Lewis became the first player to win both medals with Hibs?"

"Mind when he was man of the match in a cup final?"


The boy is an absolute machine.

Appreciate him whilst he's here.

Jesus forgot about that time with Steven Thicot. He defo dragged the team that game. But completely agree with that whole statement, if we had another 3 with his attitude and dedication we would be an even better team.

Paul Hanlon?

KB'd a right tasty offer from Aberdeen to stay with us. For a centre back, he's more than adept going forward, Len's had him play up the park in the latter stages of games, that oft-used term "cultured" can be applied to his foot as he can fire a wicked ball across the goal and has found the back of the net more than a few times.

Porteous could do worse than follow in their paths.

Am I right in thinking the last time Lewis was captain, we lost 0-3 at home to Morton - pretty much the start of that horrendous freefall that season ; Dillayrn Migheeock's limping off midway through the game.

So true.

Tbf the haterz have dwindled to a very small minority in recent years.

I look forward to watching Hibs from the Lewis Stevenson stand in years to come.

“Mind when this was called the East Stand, kids?”

[matty_f]

The single biggest misconception about Lewis is that he doesn't have a lot of talent.

[hibsbollah]

If you don't get Lewis you don't get Hibs.

[Lago]

Rarely or ever injured. Amazing

[IGRIGI]

Didn't put a foot wrong against Rangers at CB, many a player thrown into that especially at Ibrox would've crumbled.

Bang on. He does the simple things well, and makes the difficult things look simple. His positional sense is terrific ; I've rarely seen him pulled out of position except to cover for some rocket who's gone all Maldini.

I would put the perceived lack of talent thing down to the fact he's never been linked to the uglies, or "progressed" into the Scottish first team where - if I were being cynical - both of those dubious (certainly under Burley and Levein when players retiring from internationals became a trend) honours tend to be linked.

Played there a lot under Fenlon and a few times under Stubbs too. He also played one or two games where he was pretty much left of a forward 3 under Collins. Can’t remember exactly when but I remember it being discussed at the time.

Quality player, quality lad and one of the most underrated to ever play for Hibs.

Stubbs played him as RB a couple of games, one was a switch due to an injury to SDG during a game

Correct

It's no coincidence that every Hibs manager that Lewis has played under ( and there's been plenty ) has made him one of the first picks on the teamsheet

Sorry to be pedantic but I’m 99.9% sure Thicot played centre half that night and was absolutely immense. Stevenson played in the middle of the park with Rankin, Chisholm, O’Brien and Riordan...

and when he scores, it's usually a cracker !

Did he not go in goals when Thomson Allan got injured at the castle view stadium()......I could be wrong as it was a long long time ago

[Captain Trips]

I do not care what he doesn't do well the guy has been steady all the way through, you play this amount of games for one club its not all going to be great.

Over the piece the guy has been excellent for Hibs. Hope he finishes with us as well when he is done.

Not quite true. He struggled to get in the team under Mixu and Hughes. He was seen as more of a midfielder then though and they preferred Rankin to him.

On the original topic, Butcher had him playing as an out and out winger at one point too.

Sure that's right? Never knew we played with any wingers or midfield under Butcher
