Top 3 most talented players.

[Green Reaper]

Best, Archibald, Sauzee

Talent probably has different definitions for some fans. I'm going to go for three very different types of players

Gordon Durie - Perhaps not what most would think of in terms of talent but he had energy and drive that most players can only dream of and combined that with being a very good player too. His talent would just be effectiveness

Collins - Perhaps not just natural talent as he worked on his physique and game relentlessly. Not many players can hold down an entire side of the pitch on their own but he did it often. His tackling was also fantastic

George Best - In my 50 years the best player(over his career) to have played for the club albeit he arrived well past his prime. Playing drunk and having not trained he still looked about as good as most of teh players in the league and that was when Scottish Clubs were a force in Europe

Old enough to remember Pat Stanton playing so he's a stick on and joined by Sauzee and Latapy. Brilliant brilliant footballers one and all. Loved watching David Zitelli with us too mind you......

My 3 also all great players also as my user name states he was also a hero of mine.

[J-C]

How on earth do pick just 3, I'll go with Cropley, Riordan and Latapy.

Best, Archibald, Sauzee

Pretty hard to argue with

[Rumble de Thump]

Latapy, Zemama and Michael O'Neill. But Bojang was on fire in his short time here.

[Glass half full]

John Collins
Michael O'Neill - some of the goals he scored were brilliant
Zemmama

My old Grandad said Joe Baker was the best finisher and his favourite player.
Then Gordon Smith and John Brownlie.

I'll conceded that his are far better than mine but I never grew up in 1930s Leith.

[ancient hibee]

Gordon Smith, Bobby Johnston,Lawrie Reilly.

closely followed by

Joe Baker,Willie Hamilton,Pat Stanton.

It's a difficult one. I think Latapy has to be there-phenomenal player. I was privielged to see him play. Sauzee as well. Finally choice, I've debated this one. I'm going for Michael O'Neill. I loved watching him. Could play either wing effortlessly and, I remember, used to take corners with both feet! So many more could have made that list.

Michael O’Neill was in my thoughts as well. My three would probably be Sauzee, Latapy and Collins, but reckon MON would be number four.

[happiehibbie]

Darren Jackson
Alex Edwards
Steve Archibald
Michael O Neil
Riorden

What about the other two?

[stu in nottingham]

George Best was the most naturally player I've ever seen for any team. His balance was incomparable and invention and instinctive play too. For all his incredible dribbling and scoring of spectacular goals, I've heard top pros saying he was also actually one of the hardest, toughest players they played against too.

Pat Stanton was a great natural athlete, read the game supremely well, he was smooth and classy and seemed to play with all the time in the world on his hands. The ultimate 'Rolls-Royce' footballer.

Peter Cormack was really an all-round natural talent and could do pretty well anything on a football pitch, even play between the sticks. He had a fantastic and well-timed leap on him, was an instinctive ball-player and always had an eye for a goal. For a man of his size he had a tremendous dig on him too.

[Skol]

Latapy, sauzee and Archibald with Collins close. I did see Stanton and some of the tornadoes plus ally Macleod but my memories of them are sketchy. Oh and best.

For all that I loved riordan, O’Connor, griffiths, none of them feature. Boozy and brown were better imo and also a case could be made for fletcher. I enjoyed watching zemmamma and benji as well.

[eastmainsmsh]

Latapy Sauzee Archibald

[SON OF PADDY]

Alex Edwards
Jimmy O'Rourke
Russell Latapy

I feel blessed to have seen these guys, play for Hibernian.

[WhileTheChief..]

Too young to remember seeing any of the payers from the 70s in games I'd have been at.

The 80s were pretty grim generally for us 3 but I'll go with Goram, Collins and Sauzee as they all played regularly.

If we're talking about the players in their prime, Best would top the list as the stand out, it wouldn't even be close. But if we're talking about who the most talented was whilst playing for Hibs, then Archibald would be a good shout.

Sauzee, Latapy, Griffiths

Griffiths was outstanding, some of his free kicks were a joke, even the 2 against England, world class at striking a football.
