    Once you get past 21 it's a slow painful decline I'm afraid

    I'm nearly 28 and I'm definitely fu***d.

    I didn't think Sproule would do some of the things he did.

    Thought he was fat and unfit when I seen him the first time. Blowing out his erse after 30 mins and gave up chasing a ball he could have got to.

    Yeh, I remember being unsure about Leighton, although I think he had done OK at Dundee after the collapse of his career at Man U.
    Leighton had a nightmare at Dundee. Fell out of favour after letting in 6 goals in a game (against Partick I think).
    Everyone thought he was finished after that. Then he turned up at Hibs - I thought he was just going to go into a coaching role - but Jim had other plans and resurrected his career in amazing style.

    Ivan. I see him as one of my chosen few Hibs heroes.
    I'm not saying he was one of our greatest players but he got me off my seat in a way many before and after haven't.

    Brandon Barker. Thought we’d get another Mathew Kennedy or Daniel boateng. How I’m happy I was wrong

    Right enough, my memory's obviously fading. I couldn't remember how he did at Dundee but now you've reminded me I recall it being what looked like a sorry end to a once fine career. The move to Hibs transformed him and IIRC he played in the 1998 World Cup ahead of Goram, prompting Goram to quit the Scotland squad.

    Good shout from somebody else re Mixu. I definitely didn't see that as a signing to get excited about but he proved me wrong.

    Aside from his Ibrox heroics, he turned in a lot of great displays. First leg of the Uefa Cup tie v Dnipro springs to mind. I think there was talk Dnipro wanted to sign him after that. But my favourite Sproule game was when he ran Hearts ragged in the 2006 League Cup quarter-final. Only 1-0 but we dominated them that night as thoroughly as it was possible to do.

    That must have been a gruelling six hours between his signing announcement and his scoring a goal against Motherwell...
    Tbf it wouldn't be the first time a player started well before fading away

    Kamberi, looked at his previous record and although I wouldn't say I had written him off, I had very low expectations.

    I couldn't have been more wrong. He's been an excellent signing.

    Danny Swanson, when he signed I was afraid it was too much of a fairy tale to work out, signing for his boyhood heroes and all that. I hadn't been wowed by his career to date though he'd had a good season prior I will admit. He's coming on to a game though and I hope that I am left looking very foolish.

    There's probably a few more but I'm normally pretty accepting and have given a fair few more of a chance than their performances deserved.

    I didn't think Darren McGregor or David Gray would become legends when they signed.

    Probably Stevenson. Was MOM in the League Cup final but after that I had little time for him, looked like he had very limited ability, lack of pace, and the only people that seemed to think he was any good were some people on here who just liked to contradict others for the sake of it. But in the last 2 or 3 seasons he's proved me, and many others, totally wrong. A shining example of what a good, solid pro should be, an example to all of us.

    Alan Stubbs .... so underwhelmed when he got the job after relegation, on a player side I would have to say Bamba! Bombscare at Dunfermline but Mixu had him playing well and he’s went on to be an absolute rock at centre half down south.

    Marvin Bartley. I thought he’d be a bit of a nothing player. Been an unreal signing.

    Jackie MacNamara. Can’t believe we ended out getting the better end of that deal.

    Was just going to say Jackie, he couldn’t have arrived in worse circumstances or under more pressure with the departure of Pat, but he turned out to be one of the best players and committed Hibs players I ever saw, just a class act and a lovely guy off the park.

    Darren McGregor. I knew he was a massive Hibby, but when he’d played at right back for The Rangers, I wasn’t too impressed. Knew he’d had a couple of horrendous injuries too, so was uncertain how it would work out.

    The man is an absolute legend. And consistently performs at a very high level. Never gives the ball away either, apparently...

    The thing with his previous record was that he was subbed on a lot of games. His record at Grasshoppers looked like a decidedly dodgy 5 goals in 40-odd games, but really it was more like 1 goal every 270 minutes of game time, which looks much more reasonable.

    2018 and players are still being judged from Wikipedia stats. It's just so silly. I've never been wrong because I don't make assumptions

    Another vote from me for Gary Smith who was a very underated player.

    Mr consistency "Lewis" has forced me to change my mind as he has been outstanding for a very long time now.

    Don't think we signed Lewis from another club. As far as I'm aware he came through the youth ranks at Hibs and has been with us his whole career.

    Boyle has came on leaps and bounds. Always thought he was an off the bench player at best. Now one of our best players.

    Riordan - can't remember why exactly. One of us was clearly having an off day.

    Logan almost goes without saying.

    Stevenson was always in and out, and when he was in it was normally in a hopeless Hibs team. Can't fault him for working hard to bulk up, improve his game and become a mainstay.
