I would say probably the greatest right back Scotland has ever produced
He kept Danny McGrain out of the Scotland team up until his unfortunate leg break
His highlights for me were his performances versus Airdrie away 6-2 win in the League Cup and his wonderful solo goal versus Der Hun in a Scottish League Cup Semi Final at Hampden in a 1-0 win

the Rangers supoporters where incensed with us beating them and i remember hearing this rumbling noise near the end of the game and turned around to see dust flying in the air from the Hampden terracing behind me to catch sight of hundreds of "them" rushing down the stepstowards the Hibs supporters.
i got the fright of my life when i was knocked over the front fencing on to the track below because everyone was trying to get away from them!
Some things just never change!!!

Sadly, we've never had anyone near his standard since - he was just sheer class !
Happy Birthday John Brownlie - my favourite Tornado !

He played over 120 games for Newcastle as well. Very unlucky to just miss out on the final 22 for the 1974 world cup squad.

Popular guy at Newcastle too. He was an intelligent player. I used to enjoy watching him dovetail with Edwards on the right. Mind you, if you look at film of it now it was all so slow compared to the fit, wiry movers we see now!

The best right back I’ve seen at Hibs by a country mile. I remember him as a laid back guy, nae histrionics required. Fantastic going forward, very direct running and chipped in with a few goals too.
Belated birthday greetings to a proper Hibees legend.
