Jimmy, Jimmy O'Rourke everyone knows his name:thumbsup:

No I don't go along with kirk broadfoot, who IMO has only come to the spotlight because rangers took him on and he is severely limited but useful as doesn't make mistakes. He has no market value and I don't think you could really sell him on to recoup all the wages back.

good thread tho mate. did we not release darren dods??

Not entirely sure about this, but I thought Dods chose to leave when we were relegated.

I think your right, I think Willie Miller done the same.

Think that could've been Tweed, but could be wrong.

Broadfoot was still v.young and didn't want to live away from home, so we releasd him from his contract.


Hartley was crap, as he'd also been at previous clubs.

[PaulSmith]

Yes he did exactly that and to be honest I've never rated him. Unable to pass a ball 10 yards

[hibsfan7]

Gordon strachan

[Beefster]

I think your right, I think Willie Miller done the same.

Correct. Both scarpered when we were relegated.

[G15 Hibs]

Tweed had left a couple of years before

[Alicky Ranks]

Billy Stark gets the credit for moving Hartley into midfield at St Johnstone where he blossomed late in his career. He was a largely ineffective winger at Hibs.

Broadfoot? Is he actually that good?

Crawford? First Division player who only looked good in the SPL thanks to Brewster playing alongside him at Dunfermline. The only way he could score was if the ball was played perfectly into his path for him to run on to and hit first time. Ask him to round the keeper and he'd almost always take it too wide thanks to a clumsy first touch.

There was a lad 'Coco' McDonald who I liked for the youth team in the early 90s who we released and he went on to do quite well for Falkirk for a while, but by and large very few players we have released (as opposed to selling) have gone on to really blossom elsewhere.

It's the likes of Strachan and Robertson who we could have signed but failed to that you could say were definitely released too early.

Are you suggesting that releasing Darren Dods was a mistake?

Dods has got to be one of the worst Centre Halves I've seen in the SPL.

broadfoot is no loss. players like him are ten a penny.

dodds jumped ship when we were sinking. stuff him.

i do agree with hartley. always thought we never got best out of him.

[PISTOL1875]

Felipe Morais...

[woody47]

kirk broadfoot.
paul hartley.

You're having a laugh. He is pure shoi te.

[erin go bragh]

I think your right, I think Willie Miller done the same.
willie miller was forced out[he didnt want to leave us]
he didnt want to bad mouth hibs in the papers ,so he said nothing.
the reason i no this is i met willie at a mates birthday and when i spoke to him about doing the dirty on us he told me the above.
he spoke very highly of alex miller[even though he got rid of him]

[tamig]

Correct. Both scarpered when we were relegated.

And Stuart McCaffrey.

Stuart Lovell could have given us a few more good seasons. Don't think McLeish/RP did enough to keep him.

[cocopops1875]

jumped ship :agree:

[heidtheba]

Think that could've been Tweed, but could be wrong.

I think Dods went at the same time as Dow and Miller...all due to relegation if I remember correctly.

[Hakim Sar]

I was only asking if he had been released (ie as a young laddie)

Scott bannerman lol oh waaaaait but he's p!sh aswell???

I knooooow

Mickaël Antoine-Curier. I thought he was doing fine until he seemed to fall out of favour with Mixu.

He was scoring around a goal a game in Norway before he came here. And if I recall did he not score about 5 goals in a friendly against Livingston on one of his first appearances?

We really missed Stuart Lovell when he left, i think a lot of fans failed to appreciate him until he was gone.

Stephen Dobbie could have been a player if he had the work ethic to get himself in shape.

Not really expecting too much support on this one but i think Andy McNeill was worth another contract and then putting him on a season long loan to get games and rebuild his confidence. I'm sure there was a really good goalkeeper in there.

Andy Murray before he became a tennis player

Agree about dobbie, the laddie could def play, 2 footed, sharp fitba brain. Also think he suffered a bit coz we had plenty talented strikers at the time, GOC, mcmanus, scott brown was playing up front at the time, deek was coming thru.

Im sure there was a pic in one of the papers talking abt hibs new Famus Five forward line coz of the laddies (I know I've only got 4 above, cant remember who the other one was lol)

Danny Lennon

Was just about to post that! I remember seeing him play a blinder at ER against Aberdeen late 94 or early 95. Think he scored in that game too. I seem to remeber lots of people thinking he was a pre-deal swap/sweetner because we were interested in Raiths Peter Heatherstone (or was it Paul?)

Also think we could have kept McCluskey a bit longer as he seemed to do really well when he first got into the first team at 16.

Also - Suazee as manager.

[Coco Bryce]

Broadfoot was sacked by Hibs for punching a fellow player in training.

Can't remember the guy's name but last I heard he was now playing for Inverness

Apoligies to the OP for a slight detour from players relesed before being able to establish themselves with Hibs.

John Hughes

Why did he leave and go to Ayr? Can't remember much of him when he played for us, but was our captain and a solid defender from what I do remember,

Def on your bus re Andy McNeil. Good keeper who we [i.e. Hibs fans] destroyed through not giving him the same leeway we had previously with muppets like Zibi. Shame IMHO.

Paddy Deane another poster asked - dunno where he is now but he played as a triallist with Montrose [where AM is keeper] back in October...
