My main memory of him is meeting him in the Club shop and his hands being ****ing huge.
How he couldn't make a save with those shovels will always be a mystery.

Left the club and gave the tabloids the negative spill on Collins. An absolute coward.

I feel that whilst oxley wasn’t great he was nowhere near as bad as Zibi and Brown.

I do find it strange when Oxley probably made more blunders than both Zibi and Brown did and also against far inferior opposition. Also interesting that in 30+ replies there hasn’t been any further cases of where Brown made any costly errors other than the two games I mentioned in the OP.
There’s been a couple of ‘heart in mouth’ moments that weren’t punished but that’s about it.

Oxley was no where near as bad as brown or Zibi. Still not sure how either of them were signed. But if I had to choose one, Brown was worse. Slow down to the ball, could not jump or kick. Makalambay was better than both but for a guy that height was not very good coming for crosses

The worst goalkeeper I have seen in all my years supporting Hibs, attitude was poor and he just wasn't any good, would have Zibi in goals every time ahead of him

I’m with you.
A waster who should never have represented our club. Probably my least favourite Hibs player ever.

When I was playing for a Sunday league team in Essex a few years back, I had a teammate come up to me at training telling me all about an ex Hibs player he had met who was working in a shop in Colchester. Supposedly it was SB, though I've got no verification, nor do I really care.
Just thought I'd lob that vital information out there.

I didnt think Brown was all that good but don’t think he was as bad as he’s painted out to be so I’ve asked people for instances where he’s made any real Zibi/Oxley level howlers. I got the ball rolling with the two I can remember and there hasn’t been any more so far. I’m thinking that making big mistakes in two games in around 60 games isn’t all that bad, especially when we finished 3rd in his only full season at the club.

Was his first game the Kilmarnock game at Easter Road in Mowbrays first season?
If so, we battered them and lost 1-0 to a fat boy Boyd goal which was a decent shot but the keeper if my memory is right was him, and he had jelly for a wrist when it should have been pushed over the bar, he proceeded to weakly let it in.
Johnnyboy summed him up when he was commentating on a reserve game for Hibstv, he let in another shot from distance that he should have saved, and John uttered the words i will remember to my dying day.
Simon Brown should be taken out the back of the stand and shot.
IMO a poor keeper, that Oxley probably shades it as slightly less sheite.

Did Charlie Adam not score 4 free kicks into him, 2 in 2 games, all at the same end and from the same position? Or am I making that up? It was definitely one game but for some reason I seem to think it happened twice.
Anyway, he was hopeless.
Edit - after googling he did indeed score 4 free kicks in a matter of months at Easter Road but the second game was into Andy McNeil.Last edited by .Sean.; 21-02-2018 at 10:46 AM.

Weird how some managers seem to have a blind spot with keepers. Imagine we had a competent keeper in the Mowbray days.
Brown was awful, as was Zibi. The Ox wasn't a world beater but putting him in the same bracket as those two is doing him a disservice.

We were spoiled for quality then. I would also give honourable mentions to Budgie and Conrad
