    Gerry Baker (Joe's brother)
    was born in New Rochelle, New York, was capped 7 times by the USA. He scored 43 goals for Hibs.

    Can Spalding count? Born in Scotland and he didn't emigrate to America till after he left Hibs
    But you know it ain't all about wealth,
    as long as you make a note to .. EXPRESS YOURSELF!

    It's his nationality we're interested, not his arithmetical competence.

    Stevie, Hibs knew DS was leaving to get married but retained his registration in case he didn't settle in the US. Technically, he was still a Hibs player
    This is how it feels

    True, but was Scottish when he scored his goals .. and (to the best of my knowledge) didn't score whilst an American.

    And by "score" I mean goals Hibbyradge!

    And I didn't know that. I also now know that he was a Scot and was () possibly the last US Internationalist to score for us whilst registered at the club.
