    Started well in his career but it never really happened.

    Oh my goodness.

    They are absolutely mince!

    I've tried watching them, but it's just horrible.

    I guess I'll have to pop along for another look if Alex is playing, but I'll probably need a good drink first.

    Never really recovered from his injury.

    Best of luck to him.

    Butcher and Malpas rushed him back too soon and shot his confidence. If Stubbs or Lennon had followed Fenlon into the manager's chair we might have seen Harris fulfil his early promise.

    Hope the move works out for him.

    They outright bullied him. Picked on a young laddie, who was nowhere near full fitness and short on confidence.

    Disgraceful.

    The Harris was great before his injury , really is one of the biggest myths . He shown promise in about his first half dozen games , then he regressed very quickly into a very average player . He has been at a few clubs , with a few different coaches and nobody has appeared to improve him. I wish him luck, his goal at Hampden , which I think started our come back against Falkirk , was top drawer.

    Before his injury he was outstanding for us eg in abandoned game at Killie , at QOS his statistics for goals and assists were better than our midfielders in the same league , Lennon gave him a chance and he did reasonably well , at Falkirk he did very well till Hartley took over and decided to sign a completely new squad so don`t think " myth" is appropriate word .

    He had promise and there was much excited chat about his potential. There was then widespread disappointment when it didn’t work out for him.

    I’m not sure there is much myth making.

    I think Hibs is a tough club to break through at. He had it tougher than most. As you say he had some memorable moments in a Hibs shirt and good luck to him.

    He must be so relieved to get away from Falkirk...absolute basket case off a club, with fans to match!!

    Falkirk would take 6 off York City

    Nice place. Could be worse. Could be Grimsby.

    Wasn't a case of it not working out. His career was wrecked by a hammer thrower from Motherwell.

    He seemed to do very well at Falkirk despite some poor results for the team until Hartley took over and like many new managers decided to change squad for the sake of change . I wonder if he regrets not waiting a few weeks more before terminating his contract since Hartley`s successor might have given him a chance . Hope he makes an impression at York and moves on to better things since he certainly has talent to play at a much higher level .

    Was York City not one of Jackie MacNamara’s nightmares? Or maybe he was one of their nightmares.

    Ps. God knows what the ‘Tf’ is at the top of this post.

    In fairness to Harris. Did he not go through a very rough spell - bad injury and did he not lose a relative around same time? Comparing him to Cummings is pointless. Harris went to Edinburgh Academy or something didn't he? Cummings would probably struggle to spell that. That's not meant as an insult on Cummings, it's meant to show that their upbringing is totally different. Cummings career isn't exactly going from strength to strength so the comparison is not great either. If Cummings doesn't clean up his act a bit, he'll be destined to drop down the ladder as well. Hope they both do well. I have greater hope for Harris as I feel he got a very rough time at Hibs - comes back from a lengthy spell injured, playing in a garbage team for a while and every time he doesn't take his man on he gets booed/collective sighs.

    Well, if he went to EA he'll have a few connections not to mention A levels, Highers etc so I don't feel too sorry for him. Hopefully, he can resume some sort of career path once he's done with getting booted about in the National League North.

    Was it not a tackle from a St Mirren thug that injured him badly?

    One of our own.

    Hibs supporter and great great nephew of HIBS legend Jimmy Dunn.

    All the best for the future Alex.

    Many thanks for your contribution at our great club especially that wonderful strike in the Scottish Cup Semi Final versus Falkirk that inspired an unlikely comeback

    Really good young player who glided over the ground at full flight. Terrible shame that his injury has affected his career the way it has. Plenty time to turn it round. Good Luck Alex.
