Back in the day ET picked out star players. Alan Gordon quality. Wee mickey for £13,000 Nijinsky was a joy to watch purely for his enthusiasm... happy days...OH and Sloop was the best most cultured defender i saw in my not short lived puff. John Blackley epitomised Hibs total class outfit.

I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat
And a six four Impala

I wish we had a Manager like Eddie Turnbull who knew the style and system he wanted to play knew the players he wanted (Herriot, Edwards and Gordon) and just went out and got them at fairly cheap to reasonable prices got his team together drilled the system into them religiously and played the same eleven for thirty months and at the end of it all they all knew each other’s game inside out
A joy to behold for any hibee like myself who witnessed such a great team it was like watching a game of chess on the football pitch
No disrespect to Neil Lennon but I am aware that what we witnessed was a once a once in a lifetime experience and that it ain’t gonna happen in the modern era.
Like Eddie Turnbulls team nothing lasts forever and for Neil Lennon the clock is ticking in this transfer window I am sure hope WISH pray he will turn things aroundLast edited by BILLYHIBS; 05-01-2019 at 02:20 PM.

Wish we had never sold SJM to such a p@sh team. In fact I wish we had never sold him at all. No one in the team to grab the game by the scruff on the neck like he did.

Just saying Villa are rank. We should have gave him a £1m for a 2 year extension.

Ned came to Hibs after Dave (Rangers are rubbish) left in 1971. We got to the Cup Final but our bottled crashed. Left Hampden as a broken hearted 12 year old

Eddie Turnbull decided to break up the Tornadoes after their loss to Hadjuk Split 4-5 in the ECWCQF a massive disappointment
He decided to sign his goalden boy from Aberdeen Joe Harper a player sold to Everton for £180000 he decided to buy for £120000 Aberdeen matched our offer but later withdrew it Harper hoping to scupper his move to HIBS demanded a 15k tax free signing on fee and the same wages as at Everton surprisingly Tom Hart agreed
I attended his debut at Brockville and to say it was a disappointment is a massive understatement he was fat overweight unfit and one of our heroes was sat on the bench
He was a good player without any doubt but was never accepted by the HIBS fans
Tom Hart wanted a return on his investment and decided to sell Cropley ORourke and Gordon
Yes I would say we broke the bank and the club but as Joe Harper said himself “ Do you think I would have left Everton for less money?”
It was the beginning of the end of the best HIBS team I have ever seen

I Met Johnny Love in the Cask Southside last week the first thing he said to me was “ It wisnae me that broke John Brownlies leg!”
IIRC it was Ian Printy
He went on to tell me he had been over in Spain and met Jackie MacNamara SNR and showed me images on his phone of them in a local hostelry
We also had a young Bobby Smith and Derek Spalding coming through who both were emerging talents
Mickey Edwards was a brilliant midfielder who could hit a fifty pence piece from fifty yards with his precision passing and got sent off in that bad tempered match versus East Fife at Easter Road and got a three month ban
I think East Fife had decided they were not going to get embarrassed like Hearts did a week earlier
