7 - Also John McGinn or Scott Brown.

Without having seen him I would have thought Gordon Smith would have been a shoe in for the number seven.

[Eyrie]

10 - Latapy.

Not a chance, Sauzee was fantastic but there's only one number 4 and that is the great Pat Stanton.

So tough with the likes of the famous 5.

From what I've seen Russell Latapy takes the #10 shirt. Although I think he wore #4 on his debut.

Mickie Edwards & Arthur Duncan.

Just reading Bobby Johnstone The Passing of an Age by John Leigh an absolutely brilliant read this guy sounds like an early Scott Allan but by all accounts 100 times better! He would be No 8 in the famous five so that rules out my all time fav Jimmy ORourke and I am sure he will agree as he asked to see Nickers statue at Man City. The people of Selkirk are currently trying to raise 50k to erect a statue to this HIBS legend. How many players on this thread can say they have had statues erected in their memory?

There is class there is first class and then there is HIBS class!

My Dad's favourite player. He insisted on getting his pic taken beside the Hall of Fame photo on Father's Day there. It now has pride of place in his front room.

Hero-worship never dies,

Aye he was good as well in fact I would say outstanding he was good for HIBS and HIBS were good for him resurrecting his international career but Gorams angles one to ones handling distribution ball retention goals for just shades it. I remember being at Love Street one cold rainy night Hibs scored early and Goram was totally outstanding to win us three points by the same token in the play offs v Airdrie Leighton outstanding both legs. Leightons game was all about confidence and as the position evolved into a sweeper role he was sometimes caught out.Goram on the other hand oozed confidence.
Both were excellent for us football is all about opinions but my vote goes to the Goalie but would not hear a bad word against Leighton who was also great I just hope he enjoyed his time here at our great club.

23 Scott Allan

And if nobody else has bagged 17, could do worse than have Ivan’s pace and passion in the squad!

And did Zitelli wear 20?

4 there can only be one and that's Pat Stanton.

Man United have the legendary Number 7 shirt, with the likes of Best, Robson, Cantona, Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Is Number 4 the iconic Hibs shirt? With two of our greatest ever in Stanton and Sauzee, Scottish Cup winner Paul Hanlon and League Cup winner Zemmama - it certainly stakes a claim. Who else has worn it in the past?

[BegbieHSC]

28 - Tony Stokes - no need for an explanation

8 Willie Hamilton

Although my first game was 1965, I wasn't a regular until 68 and with the exceptions of players like Murphy, Pringle & Wilkinson, who also played bit-part roles, those were the main block of players that took us up to the TT's, although, as we know, players like Brownlie, Schadler & Cropley had already made the breakthrough before Ned's arrival in 1971.
