A little twist on the usual, ‘best or worst Hibs players’. Only one player can occupy the squad/first XI number they wore. A tough one given that the likes of Sauzee and Stanton both played number 4.
Should get easier going into the 20’s and 30’s, but what about the first 11?
I’ll start:
01 - Derek Riordan
Results 1 to 30 of 80

2. David Gray.
Maybe not the best player ever to wear the number but his performance in the last 10 minutes of the final and the winning goal elevate him to a different level. What that has done for the club is almost unbelievable.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

3. David Murphy?
Not even sure if that was his squad number. Best first touch I've ever seen at ER and I include Franck Sauzee and Latapy amongst my considerations."Play for the name on the front of the jersey and the supporters will remember the name on the back"

Difficult to argue with that, but John Brownlie needs a mention. Tough, skilful, international class.

3. Eric Schaedler. Hard as nails, great left foot, amazing engine and a better defender than David. Taken too soon. Originally Posted by Pedantic_Hibee

Scored the most important goal in the history of our club. And the heart on the sleeve way he did it was inspirational.

We should do a testimonial for him when he retires. I can't think of player who has played less games for us but had such an impact! Originally Posted by spike220

11. Eric Stevenson. My favourite Hibs player. A crime he wasn't capped.

Just finished reading his book on holiday, it was better than I had imagined. Originally Posted by Bangkok Hibby

He played the first time I watched Hibs in 1968 and thought he was very good player.
Got the feeling reading the book though that Eric himself felt he could have done more, didn't help himself a lot of the time unfortunately.

Probably at some point in the great adventure. We didn’t have squad numbers that season. Given he played in midfield that season, there’s probably a good chance he did wear 8 at some point. I seem to remember Justin Skinner wearing 4 most of the time that year. Originally Posted by Austinho

Cup winning captain and a solid defender who was also a good threat to have at set pieces. Was gutted when he left but understood the reasons why. Always great to seen him back at ER, which he normally does.
