Foreign players you liked at Hibs

[Tambo]

I was 12 years old when we signed Latapy and Sauzee, maybe a bit young to really appreciate how good they were.

John Madsen wasn't too shabby

Was made out of granite. He could head the ball as far as he could kick it.

Very much so, just be happy that you witnessed them.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Just remembered the radge that was Bobby Thomson, Justin Skinner another one to add to the underrated list.

[Frogga]

Ulrik Laursen.

Bamba - at his peak.

Gottskalksson - just for the fact that he was my first ever autograph, back in the days when the bottom of the Famous 5 was raised above the pitch and I remember him having to reach up to deliver said signature.

[MWHIBBIES]

Efe Ambrose was exceptional for us. Best central defender I've seen at Hibs.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Matty Jack and Gareth Evans, not sure many players tried harder in a Hibs strip.

The Porn Star for just being that really. 😳

[He's here!]

My dad said Johnn Madsen was a decent player.

The adpoted Aussies Lovell, Cummings and Boyle have all been good for us. Or was Lovell actually a born and bred Aussie?

Bobby Thomson was Scottish was he not

[Donegal Hibby]

Thanks Mick and Billy .
Another player I liked and was sorry when he left was David Murphy. Think we got a decent fee for him at the time . Quality player imo . Loved his goal against the Huns too . Think it put us top of the league.

Hearts were very good around that time.

Being Irish I'm going to kick -off with a few of Irish lads .
Conrad Logan loved the big man and what a performance from him in the semi final , must be up there with one of the best performances of a Hibs goalie I seen .

Anthony Stokes was unbelievable in the cup final and ran tavernier ragged. Probably the best performance I've seen from a Hibs striker in a cup final ever .

Ivan Sproule , what a player ! Think we paid something like 5 grand for him which must be one of the best deals we've ever done . Hattrick at Ibrox was something else and just summed up the quality and how really good Ivan was .

Interested to hear foreign players that you liked at Hibs . Any of the older Hibs fans remember some of the early foreign players we signed ?

Being English Joe Baker (to be fair didnt see him in the flesh)
On tbe theme of English I grew up in Blackpool marvelling at a very good keeper doing handstands on the 18 yard box as part of his warm who then went on to win silverware with the Mighty Hibs. Yes the one and certainly only John Burridge.

Skinner, along with a few others couldn't make the step up to the Prem after a decent season in the first division. Mind a cup defeat away to Clyde was the end for Skinner along with Marinkov and another 1 or two.

From that era I'll throw in Barry Prenderville (what a goal!), Janos Matyus, Peter Guggi, Marc Libbra and a certain Fabrice Henry.

Efe Ambrose was exceptional for us. Best central defender I've seen at Hibs.

I liked Efe too. But you must be younger than I thought if you didn’t see Sauzee play at the back for us.

Off the top of my head, I’d definitely have to put Big Rob Jones above Efe too based on how effective he was and what he did in his time here.

So many ‘foreign’ players I’ve liked to choose from. Latapy was always the favourite though.

Lovell was English but his maw or granny was born in Oz. Fuzzy memories of Lovell the striker when we were in Div 1, huge kudos to him to then become a right wing back before a centre mid at Livi.

[HibeeSince85]

Marciano
De La Cruz
Sauzee
Ambrose
Laursen
Boozy
Latapy
Zemmama
Benji
Mixu
Zitelli

Andersson, Fenwick, Bamba, Jack, Lovell, Maclaren, Malonga

Probably missed someone but in my time, they're the favourites.

[BILLYHIBS]

Marc Libbra was a class act

I'm 27, so I was very young when Sauzee played for us, although I did see him.

Efe was easily better than Jones imo. Much better footballer, although Jones scored some extremely important goals for us.
