Article with handling today. Now working part time in a chicken farm, only 24 year old.
We haven’t produced same calibre of players since the golden generation.
We went on to produce Handling, Harris, Stanton and Ross Caldwell.
Stanton remains as the one who’s making a fist of it atleast.
Not even sure what Ross Caldwell does now? Or how Harris is getting on at Falkirk.
Lets hope Porteous and Shaw go on to have better careers , have more hope for them!

Credit and respect to Danny Handling. If it doesn't work out for you as a full-time professional young guys can often find themselves cut loose in their mid twenties and possibly having to start all over again to make a living. For every one lad who makes it another 100 will not and inevitably descend into part-time football before drifting away completely sometimes. Life (and professional sport) can be cruel and I guess that's the risk you take. In many years time he will be able to reflect and take great pride in the fact that he played for Hibernian, something all of us on the forum can only dream of. Well done mate!

I always thought Handling just lacked a yard of pace and a bit of core strength needed to make it at our level. Technically he was a very decent player but often seemed to get bullied onto the fringes of the game.
I'd go as far as to say that if his formative years at Hibs had come under Stubbs and Lennon and their set ups as opposed to Fenlon and Butcher things might have worked out differently.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Danny was technically pretty decent but lacked motivation to make it, I always felt he enjoyed the celebrity status being a pro footballer at a big club but didn't put in the graft to become one.

Brian McClair was on sportsound the other night saying how to make it in football you have to have belief. You're not going to be a footballer, you're going to be a professional footballer. I think, and I could be completely wrong here, Handling lacked that and didn't have the ability, of say a Riordan, to make it anyway.

The last sentence is probably quite telling "I'd like to get back into full time fooball, but that's outwith my control."
There is plenty he could do to make that within his control, to be honest.Follow the Hibs podcast, Longbangers, on Twitter (@longbangers)
