    Best Home Grown Team

    Assembling a team of players who all came through the youth set up. It strikes me that we have not produced a decent keeper, at least in the last 30-40 year’s. My era begins in the late eighties.

    Chris Reid
    Steven Whitaker
    Lewis Stevenson
    Paul Hanlon
    Gordon Hunter
    Mickey Weir
    Scott Brown
    Kevin Thomson
    John Collins
    Derek Riordan
    Garry O’Connor

    Chris Reid
    [Thomson Allan] On the basis he won two caps and was back up to David Harvey in the 1974 world cup [he did tait it by signing for them at the tail end of his career] Also won a league cup medal for Dundee in 74.
    Steven Whitaker
    Lewis Stevenson
    Paul Hanlon
    Gordon Hunter
    Mickey Weir
    Scott Brown
    Kevin Thomson
    John Collins
    Derek Riordan
    Garry O’Connor
    .

    But if we add Thomson Allan we need to add Brownlie, Blackley, Stanton, Cropley, O'Rourke, Cormack, Marinello, Stein & the Baker Boy and then you get into famous five territory.

    No Kenny Miller or Steven Fletcher?

    Kevin Dabrowski could be that 'home grown' keeper if you accept that having played in our development team for a few seasons makes him eligible for this description.

    I think Deek and GoC contributed more to hibs but your two undoubtedly have the better careers.

    Andy McNeil over Chris Reid in Goals

    Or does he not count as we brought him through Southampton (at age 19) with zero first team appearances

    Did David Grof come through the youth system?
