Lewy's shades

[houstonhibbee]

anyone else see similarities between Lewy and Shades as a left back. Both tigerish in the tackle, a brick wall and marauding when going forward......

[madabouthibs]

Lewis is a fantastic playerq when he has a decent left winger playing in front of him. Last night probably suited him to a tee, and it showed.
Plus,there's no chance of us ever accusing him of bottling out a tackle. 😁

maybe if he had a long throw in

i didn't say as good as but a lot of similarities..........

fwiw i think he's not as hard but has about the same skill levels. Also he doesn't have the opportunity to be part of such a great side

Erich was a bit faster, and most definitely harder. Both had the same desire though, for which both are rightly admired. Both very reliable full backs.
Shades made the 74 World Cup squad which was no mean achievement, because there were many excellent full backs at this time.

Does that make him a better player than everyone else that has played for Hibs then??

Lewis aways looks to me like Darren mcgregor's love child.

Daz is actually permanently wearing a Lewis mask. In reality he looks a bit like Whoopi Goldberg.

[Hi Heid Yin]

Sorry, Schaedler was the epitomy of class and in a different league to an honest trier like Stevenson.

Steve Fulton has a cup medal too. Guess that makes him a better midfielder than Pat Stanton too then.

League cup doesn't count? What about league title with Celtic?

I was a young lad when I saw Shades play. He was according to the best of my memory a tenacious hard as teak quality full back. he was quick and was a player who would never shirk from putting in a tackle or putting the opponent into the advertising billboards if need be. He was also good at getting up and down the line if I remember rightly.

It would be good to hear from slightly older fans as to how they recall Shades as I was very young at the time.

Lewis played very well last night with Boyle taking some pressure from him as per getting up and down the wing and Lewis and Gray were far better concentrating on defending with Humphrey on the other wing.

Its always difficult comparing players from different eras. They're both legends from different points in time and both played under different circumstances as it was a much more physically tolerated game when Shades played.

Both deservedly Hibs Legends.

Very fortunate to see shades in his prime, and whilst Lewis is a terrific full back, with a heart of a lion, shades was ferocious in the tackle, and of course had that long throw.....so he just shades it for me 😉
I do love seeing wee Lewis firing into tackles though, he's a bloody tough competitor.

Yeah, I was just thinking Scottish cup. Can't get it out my head these days.

Schaedler was the hardest player ever I believe. I remember getting a tour of Easter Road when I was young and he was working out in the gym chatting to us. The man was superfit.

You take the words right off my keyboard, Bollah.

Lewis is a great wee guy and I love him to bits, but Shades lived at the Absolute Pinnacle of Awesomeness.

But oh, the tragedy of his passing ....

Someone told me I look like Garry Parker the other day.

This is not a good development.

Hopefully it was just because we both have beards.

Lewis I like and rate as a full back,but not near the talent of Shades.
