    You seem to forget the beautiful 60 yard cross field passes that he used to spray at will.
    He did... it was just unfortunate the player was only 30 yards away from him and 60 yards was generally the distance to the back of the stand 🙈😂

    Wouldn't make the top 50 honestly. Was actually good during his loan spell.
    Really? Perhaps you’ve been watching hibs much longer than I have so fair enough but I can’t think of many more players that have frustrated me as much as him. In fact the news of his departure actually helped me feel better about our relegation.

    McGivern is one of the few players about whom every Hibs fan is totally correct in their opinion of him, as he managed to be excellent, totally pish and most things in between at various times during his time with us.

    That was without much thought. McGivern was actually a good player until his last 6 months here.

    I take it this is our Michael Nelson ? See his new managers quote

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-44224019
    I don't post on here often but I'm going to have to this time. I can honestly say Michael Nelson is the worst player I've seen pull on a hibs shirt. I have never seen a professional football player who aimlessly just punts the ball wherever he is facing as much as he did , absolutely awful player. If he faced his own goals he would probably just punt it in for an o.g as he knows no other way! his partner in crime at left back Mcgivern was just as awful, two players that stole a living, anyway rant over i'm off.

    Dont remember him being as bad as some are making out. Gave his best while here and wish him well at new club.
    He wasn’t. Some awful comments on this thread.

    Jeezo, thats another name from the pre-relegation years that makes you shudder. Frightening that that was once our standard of signing. The guy seems like a nice bloke and he tried his best but he was a terrible player.

    Does nobody remember Colin Murdoch? Can’t believe some peoples views of McGivern and Nelson being among the worst ever. Nowhere near imo.

    That list is truly frightening. Rowan Vine?! Jesus God that name still gives me the fear.

    Always thought he was decent for us though not the most technically gifted always gave 100 % From what I remember would use his experience to get him through games as not the quickest.He might have been one of the older players who was told by Butcher his services would no longer be required at the end of season the implication being that he would stop playing for the Manager but it was not obvious watching him play that he had thrown the towel in.

    I believe Ronaldo employs him as his free kick trainer.

    Say what you want about Michael Nelson he played over half a game away to Ross County with a dislocated shoulder and im sure he scored too. Mo Salah went off last night with the same injury.

    Apply logic and it seems Nelson can do things on a football pitch Salah can't and therefore he is a better player.

    Michael Nelson was a 'head it-kick it' stopper type centre half. Being invited to play for Hibs says a lot more about Hibs' level of ambition in that period than it does the player who gave his best at the time.

    Interested in Martin Allen's assessment of his players, what a character 'Mad Dog' is! He left Notts County under something of a cloud for some misdeed but the fans loved his passionate style of management.

    One of the biggest differences about Hibs since Stubbs came is our ability to 'make a player better'. Yes there are some exceptions both ways, but generally every player we bought got worse with us. Craig, McGivern, McPake and others I remember thinking the same about at the time all rocked up, played well at the start (or came with decent reputations) and all ended up keeich.
