Colin Stein's autobiography

[Argylehibby]

As a former Hibby who went to the weeg would you consider getting Steins autobiography? I reckon it could be a "good read" but not sure I could cope with having a book in the collection with a rangers strip dominating the front cover!

Was my idol back in the day, a great natural finisher who should have played at a higher level than the huns, remember I was gutted when he left

I would get any football related book if I thought it was going to be a good read, regardless of what the cover was like.
However if it is a problem for you then how about making a tiny Hibs strip out of cardboard and glueing it over the hunnish attire. Or simply get one of Rankins old strips and glue that on.:agree:

The interview in the EN a couple of weeks back was a good un and clearly knowing it's the EN waxed lyrical about his time at Hibs but he did come over very well, sounds like it may be a decent read.


Still laughing at Brownlie megging him and sending him on his erse in the Drybourgh Cup Semi at ER though :thumbsup:

A quality striker and was gutted when he left Easter Road. £100K was a healthy transfer fee in those days when you consider that 5 shillings (25 pence for the young uns on here) could get you into the ground, pay your bus fares and leave you change for fish and chips on the way home. :agree:

Absolutely I would - was a hero of mine even as a wee boy - somewhere in my "garage" I've got a pic of him from inside the old Commando comics signed (and Johns Brownlie and Blackley and Alex Cropley)

Bollix to the cover!

:doh: Of course. How else would we have known what the half times scores were. :thumbsup:

[ancient hibee]

The first £100K transfer between Scottish clubs.He always gave 100%.

[johnrebus]

Was the first for me in a long line of let downs. And not all of these Hibs stars left for mega bucks either. Many others left or were pushed out the door before their time for other reasons.

Colin Stein
Joe McBride
Peter Marinello
Peter Cormack
Johnny Graham
Joe Baker
Johnny Hamilton
Iain Munro
Pat Stanton

amd on , and on , and on.




PS

Stein is and always was a Hun

Stuff his book

:wink:

Colin Stein eh? A great big clumsy centre forward of the old school.

Not a classic player but he scored 40 odd goals for Hibs.

Unfortunately he scored some against us - notably on a Christmas Eve last minute

winner as I recall.

I was devastated when Stein left but ........































I got over it as soon as Joe McBride arrived :greengrin

was that his first game against us after signing for the currant buns by any chance ? i was only a young laddie but i seem to remember him scoring against us in his first game back at ER :boo hoo: a very good bowler after he hung up his boots i believe.

[heretoday]

No it wasn't.

As I recall, Stein signed for Rangers midweek and proceeded to score a hat trick at Ibrox against Hibs.

Mcbride scored a couple for Hibs I think.

ok :greengrin but did he score against us on his first game back at ER playing for rangers ?

[Green_one]

Sung more derogatory songs about that one player than any other.

Bitter I was.

I heard him on the radio and he seemed fine but I am not buying his book.

one hundred thousand down the drain :whistle:
