I was at the Accrington Stanley match today and John is on their coaching staff. I managed to have a chat with him after the game and he told me loves Hibs. He was laughing as he remembered running towards the corner flag when the winning goal went in at the cup final. All in all he is a really nice guy and loved his time at us.

Interestingly enough, I remember as a laddie the news programme on the tv advising that Accrington Stanley had gone bust and were withdrawing from the football league in the very early sixties.....first time I had ever heard of such a thing and left me perplexed!

Would have loved him back at Easter Road I thought he was manager material too.

You could hear the genuine affection he has for Hibs on the Cup Final DVD's
He's a class act

The DVD really showed what he's all about, great guy. Does anyone know if he's been back for a game?

With the feel good factor at an all time high we should be getting him on the pitch at half time! Along with everyone else that day, a hibs legend
I well up every time I watch the clip of him making a B-line for the players after the winner

Why are you a Hibs fan?
Sentimentalism has carried us through a lot of dark times.

I was living in New Zealand in 2016, and flew home for the cup final to surprise my dad. Headed up to Edinburgh for the parade the following day, got pretty inebriated and stayed at a friend’s that night.
The next morning, I was walking past the stadium very worse for wear, jet lagged and still in last nights Hibs shirt, when a man with a scouse accent approached me on the street. “Did you enjoy the game?” He asked. Hearing the scouse accent, I assumed he only had a passing interest and so I rambled on about how I flew from the other side world to see the game etc etc. Didn’t ask him if he’d watched the game or been to the parade and I’m now glad I didn’t as it could have been rather embarrassing! Was only when I saw the newspapers after that I realised that scouse man had been on the bloody bus. I didn’t even recognise our own assistant manager. Sorry John!Last edited by Austinho; 18-03-2018 at 09:13 PM.

A wee feel-good story from a fellow fan about a man who played a central part in what for pretty much everyone on here was the best footballing day of their lives.
If you can't feel sentimental about that, you're probably best just saying nothing at all rather than decrying it is garbage.

I know some folk will find this strange, and i'm not trying to belittle Alan Stubbs, but i like John Doolan more than i do Stubbs.
I find Doolan gets us more than anyone who had probably never given us a second thought until coming to the club.
I think Doolan genuinely loves us now, and would come back in some capacity if asked.
Maybe he just comes over better than Stubbs, but i just have a real affection for this man, more than anyone else i can name.

Thrilling Stanley fitback last April... 0-2 to 3-2 with Crewe having a 92nd minute equaliser ruled out for offside!
Were you in hospitality in the big Portakabin ST?
