Favourite Hibs Transfer Rumour

Fairly sure this was transfer fact rather than rumour?
I thought we'd agreed a deal to sign him then were outbid at the last minute by something like £40 grand??

Yeah! We ended up using what we had left saved up in the biscuit tin to buy Gareth Evans from Rotherham United at the last minute

Terry Christie as manager.

Was my science teacher and briefly House master. Good lad and would have grabbed a job at Hibs. Ended up at Meadowbank (if the memory serves me right) whilst also teaching.

Was very close to happening apparently.....

From a newspaper interview

" In fact, Christie once thought he had succeeded in winning his place among the premier team leaders back in 1987. He was touted for the job as Hibs manager and made it to the short list. He was interviewed by the chairman, Kenny Waugh, and ''I came out believing I was Hibs manager, but two days later I picked up the morning paper to discover that Alex Miller had got the job.''

Ah well. He was a better science teacher than Alex Miller.

Adam Le Fondre, for the sheer factor we've been linked with signing him every window for the past 10 years 😂
There's been plenty also like him as well, as folk have already mentioned.

Know Terry well as he was a contemporary of my dad's

He was also my science teacher and had some wider school role that I cant recall as well

He took the school team at Porty where I was "lucky" enough to warm the bench while Robbo & David Bowman and a right few good other players played in that team.

Used to see him and the Meadowbank players of the time drinking in Olivers in Rose Street, but that would be nearly 40 years ago :-)

After retiring from teaching he was the GM (or whatever the title was) at Duddingston)

Still see him around occasionally at Braids Driving Range

As others have stated he was sure he had got the job and as boy raised in Craigentinny that would have meant the world to him

Jeez, where did the time go?!

I was a few years ahead, age rather than substance but I knew quite a few who were in and around that team. Phil Sinclair was the gym teacher who ran the football and he was another good guy.

Last time I seen Mr Christie was when a few of us shouted something to him at Meadowbank - he recognised us and gave us bit of banter back. Just been reminded that he was headmaster at dear old Porty, if correct that would be after my time but he was a decent guy and it wouldn't surprise me.

I recall Robbo was being quoted as our possible next manager at one time. There was predictable outrage from the other side.

When asked about it, Robbo said "Mebbe so but Hearts dinny pay my mortgage"!

That was the summer Mowbray was appointed. Tommy Burns was also mentioned as was an ex German centre half who’s played at the World Cup, can’t remember his name tho?

[hfc rd]

Leon Osman when Stubbs was in charge was one many folk on here were saying that was going to happen.

Also ex Leeds Utd & Man Utd player Alan Smith when Colin Calderclown was in charge. One poster even mentioned that he was training with us in order to win a deal.

Remember the day before we announced Mowbray the Re it’s ran with Alan Kernaghan as the new manager. Didn’t happen and was never heard of again.

Remember when we appointed a manager (some Icelandic guy) between Williamson and Mowbray then he pulled out after a day.

[Onceinawhile]

I'm sure I remember us being linked with jean pierre papin. Remember reading it on teletext.

Phil Sinclair there's a blast from the past

Ex Murray International Metals & Scotland basketball star also my PE Teacher and you are correct a really good guy.

Don't think Mr Christie was head at Porty but may be wrong I thought it was Musselburgh Grammar?

Your grey matter is probably better than mine

Phil Sinclair was a stand out teacher though. We used to call him Tom Selleck, the Magnum P I guy!
