Whittaker was a Jambo when he played for us, can't think of any more.

[Ringothedog]

Mad Vlad is a hibby :wink:

[Westie1875]

Danny Galbraith was a Hearts fan growing up I think?

[Diclonius]

Hearts' Hibs fans: Lee Wallace.

Hibs' Hearts fans: Graeme Smith and Danny Galbraith.

[.Sean.]

Hearts' Hibs fans: Lee Wallace.

Hibs' Hearts fans: Graeme Smith and Danny Galbraith.
Pretty sure Smith isn't a Jambo. Wouldn't think so anyway after the way he wound them up in the last Derby.

As for Wallace being a Hibby now, i'd be surprised. Craig Thomson at Hearts is, or was, a Hibs fan.

Afraid Smith is a jambo sean...he actually is living very close to our own HibbyAndy in penicuik.

[Toaods]

I think Kevin Thomson's a Celtic fan, remember he claimed that when they came in for Broonie.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Are there any known Hibs players who are hearts fans or hearts players who are hibs fans?

Are there any known Rangers players who support celtic and vice versa, would doubt it...............?

Kenny Dalglish was a Rangers fan growing up IIRC

[JimBHibees]

Kenny Dalglish was a Rangers fan growing up IIRC

Jock Stein also. Bound to have been a few. Was Ross McCormack not a Celtc fan.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Kenny Dalglish was a Rangers fan growing up IIRC

I never knew that, every day you learn something new....

[CropleyWasGod]

IIRC, Danny McGrain was a Rangers man, no?

[blueisthecolour]

Are there any known Rangers players who support celtic and vice versa, would doubt it...............?

Danny Wilson - celtic fan
Chris Burke - Celtic fan
Ross McCormack - Celtic fan
Mo Johnston - celtic fan
Charlie Miller - Celtic fan (I think)

just a few off the top of my head, and I know most have moved on.

[CropleyWasGod]

Kenny Dalglish was a Rangers fan growing up IIRC

Yup. Legend has it that, when the Celtic scouts were coming to his door, he pulled down all of his Rangers posters....

[hibeeleicester]

Kenny miller is a celtic fan :agree:

[blueisthecolour]

Kenny Dalglish was a Rangers fan growing up IIRC

Yes


Jock Stein also. Bound to have been a few. Was Ross McCormack not a Celtc fan.

R M yes


IIRC, Danny McGrain was a Rangers man, no?
Yes I think so

[blueisthecolour]

Yup. Legend has it that, when the Celtic scouts were coming to his door, he pulled down all of his Rangers posters....

They knew what he was before going to them, he used to stay in the flats across from Ibrox and watch training from his window.

[PaulSmith]

I think Kevin Thomson's a Celtic fan, remember he claimed that when they came in for Broonie.

Nag, I'm very confident that he and steven Maclean were quite big Hibs fans from Peebles.

[Barney McGrew]

Nag, I'm very confident that he and steven Maclean were quite big Hibs fans from Peebles.

:agree:

[hibsfan7]

was john robertson not a hibee

[Borders Hibby]

They knew what he was before going to them, he used to stay in the flats across from Ibrox and watch training from his window.

Dalglish and McGrain both told they were too small!

[blueisthecolour]

Dalglish and McGrain both told they were too small!

Yes that's true

[Diclonius]

Can we go back on topic regarding Hibs and Hearts and not the OF?

This isn't the BBC.

[Borders Hibby]

Yes that's true

Missing out on Dalglish is akin to us missing out on Robertson!

[murray26]

Darren dods now of Dundee utd was a Jambo i believe.

[hibbymac]

Ian Murray, raging Yam, ....... not fit to wear the green. :bitchy:

[ScottB]

Darren Jackson was a Yam, Robertson a Hibee supposedly.

[Caroline Hibby]

Lee Miller - Hibby

[Diclonius]

Darren dods now of Dundee utd was a Jambo i believe.

Wasn't he a Hibby?

[erin-go-bragh87]

was john robertson not a hibee

Yeah this is true. Living in Inverness I see him out and about alot and have spoke to him about this a few times. He wad a hibby as a boy but I think he's a jambo now, even if he won't admit it!!

[Jonnyboy]

Ian Murray, raging Yam, ....... not fit to wear the green. :bitchy:

Tosh, on both counts

[Sloppy]

scott brown- rangers fan

[J-C]

IIRC, Danny McGrain was a Rangers man, no?

Nearly didn't sign for Celtic due to his name seemingly.

[J-C]

Wasn't he a Hibby?


Yes he was.

[J-C]

Yeah this is true. Living in Inverness I see him out and about alot and have spoke to him about this a few times. He wad a hibby as a boy but I think he's a jambo now, even if he won't admit it!!


That's what I was told also, was a Hibby as a boy but his heart's in Tynnie now.

[_hucks_]

Tosh, on both counts

Pretty sure (although you can never quite tell on t'internets) that he was being sarcastic

[snooky]

My favourite call is that Slim Jim Baxter was a Hibby. :thumbsup:

[Jonnyboy]

Pretty sure (although you can never quite tell on t'internets) that he was being sarcastic

So was I :greengrin

[Riordans Boots]

Ian Murray, raging Yam, ....... not fit to wear the green. :bitchy:

No. He is a die hard Hibernian FC supporter :agree:

[James.]

Nade is a fan of Hibs... or is it Ribs?

[Jonnyboy]

Gordon Smith, Prince of Wingers and arguably the greatest ever Hibee was a Hearts fan as a boy

[Greentinted]

Nade is a fan of Hibs... or is it Ribs?


It certainly isnae cabbage...

[ian cruise]

was john robertson not a hibee

as a boy robertson was a hibee but now has an alliance to jambos. apparently his boy is a hibee though. i heard him talking about it on bbc radio a while back

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Whittaker was a Jambo when he played for us, can't think of any more.

Massive, incorrect myth that Stevie is a big jambo. His family are absolutely Hearts daft, in particular his older sisters but Steven was never all that into them tbh. Never went to Tynecastle wen his old man took his sisters. Told me that he was 'getting right into hibs' and thats wen he had jst signed and had jst left our school. Waaaay before he even broke into the first team squad. Never paid all that much attention to the yams scores b4 he signed for hibs and certainly doesnt now. I have my nursery picture from wen we were both 3 yr old, im in my hibs top and hes nxt to me in his hearts top(wen his dad dressed him). Despite goin to school together for another 12 yrs I can honestly say i cant remember seeing him ever wear another hearts strip. Really frustrates me wen folk refer to him as a big hearts fan.

[Lmc2105]

Am sure Alan Preston is a staunch Hibee is he not:devil:

Was shocked to see him give us credit last time we played at home and said he likes to watch the way we played god that must have nearly killed him!:faf:

Other than that .. Craig Thomson of hearts supports Hibs and so does Lee Wallace :agree:

[IWasThere2016]

Afraid Smith is a jambo sean...he actually is living very close to our own HibbyAndy in penicuik.

Smith MUST have been bad in a previous life .. Jambo and Andy! Fek me - that's as lousy a hand as I've heard aboot in a long time! :greengrin

[magnificent_seven]

On the topic of the Famous Five, Bobby Johnstone was a Hearts fan growing up.

[Thecat23]

Kenny miller is a celtic fan :agree:

Kenny is defo not a Celtic fan mate, Kenny is a good mate of mine and his whole family are Rangers daft. Kenny wasn't to fussed when he was younger.. he watched them but wouldn't say he was a huge fan.

But defo no Celtic man. I'm going to stop texting him before Rangers games cos he always seems to score and it's staring to get on my nerves. :grr:

[southfieldhibby]

Gordon Rae was a jambo before common sense arrived.

[Leith Green]

Gordon Rae was a jambo before common sense arrived.



Pretty sure Rae and his old man were Huns mate ...

[ShanksSaidNo]

Yeah this is true. Living in Inverness I see him out and about alot and have spoke to him about this a few times. He wad a hibby as a boy but I think he's a jambo now, even if he won't admit it!!
He doesnt need to phisically say "im now a jambo" He was on the radio last week and was referring to us as the wee team etc etc. Colours nailed firmly to the post! Fat wee Fud.

[J-C]

Slightly sideways here but Jamie Carragher is a huge Everyon fan and a massive Liverpool legend.

Any other players from where ever like that ?

[Joe Baker II]

Gordon Smith (current Hearts player) is a Hibs fan, his legendary namesake was a Hearts fan I am pretty sure.

Michael Stewart and Ralph Callachan played for both clubs, I think supported Hearts and Hibs respectively.

[magnificent_seven]

Slightly sideways here but Jamie Carragher is a huge Everyon fan and a massive Liverpool legend.

Any other players from where ever like that ?

Robbie Fowler - Everton Fan
Michael Owen - Everton Fan
Steve McManaman - Everton Fan

[hibbymac]

No. He is a die hard Hibernian FC supporter :agree:

WOOOOOSH!!!!! :fishin: :wink:

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Pretty sure Rae and his old man were Huns mate ...


Both Adam (whom I knew well) and Gordon are Hibs fanatics, don't know where you got that from :confused:

[Dr Jimmy]

His family were all Everton daft, his dad even ran a bus to games. Although he now supports Liverpool and has been seen wearing a Liverpool strip!!.........can you imagine changing your Derby team coz your laddie plays for them.
Sorry but would want him to do well, but change team no chance!!

[mhathorn1]

Buzz is a definate hun. My sister went to school with him, and was always talking about him. He always wore rangers tops, and talked about them. Never a jambo. Not that a hun is any better mind you.

[Neil4Hibs]

Robbie Fowler - Everton Fan
Michael Owen - Everton Fan
Steve McManaman - Everton Fan

Ian Rush - Everton Fan
Peter Reid - Liverpool Fan

[stevenhibs]

Nearly didn't sign for Celtic due to his name seemingly.

Eh? Were his middle names King and William?

Neil McCann is supposedly a Celtic fan.

Another cracker is that Chris Waddle is a Sunderland fan and when he played all those years for Newcastle, he never ever played against Sunderland. He always had some mysterious injury. Apparently he had it in his contract that he would never play against Sunderland. The last bit I find hard to believe though. The rest is a fact.

[Bayern Bru]

Apparently Rooney had a trial at Liverpool as a schoolboy but wore his Everton kit :greengrin

[Pretty Boy]

John Robertson- Never a Hibs fan, used to got to a few games now and then but was never a big fan of either Hibs or Hearts. A total myth that has been accepted as fact as it makes a good story. His brother Chris was never a Hibs fan either and is in fact a die hard jambo.

Neil Lennon- Whilst a Celtc fan, he had several trials and meetings at Ibrox in his school days but was told in a round about way that his background was a bit of a problem.

Lee Wallace- Definitely was/is a Hibs fan.

[Leith Green]

Both Adam (whom I knew well) and Gordon are Hibs fanatics, don't know where you got that from :confused:



Pretty sure I remeber an evening news article with Gordon Rae prior to the Scottish cup replay at Ibrox March 2008, it was detailing how he played in a match late 70s early 80s at the start of his career and how his dad was a Rangers supporter and he would have followed him, but he obviously became a Hibee..

Can anyone else recall this??

[Baw187]

The story that also does the rounds is that Jamie Carragher has an Everton tatoo on his arm and hence why he's always worn long sleeve tops.

Nae idea if it's true, however.

[1two]

Celtic Captain and ex hibs player Scott Brown - Hun

Is this true? I think he's a fifer, so probably true.

[Leith Green]

According to Carragher in his autobiography the tatto story is a myth..

rumour has it he has the rangers crest tattoo on his calf, dunno how true this is though.

[Baw187]

According to Carragher in his autobiography the tatto story is a myth..

Thought it might have been. It's not something in the day and age of mobile cameras that he would have been likely to have kept under wraps !

[Leith Green]

Pretty sure there is an iconic photo of Carraher celbrating their 2005 champions league win with the Liverpool fans in istanbul with his top off..

[Banter]

I seam to recall Celtc's Craig Beattie had a honking Gers tattoo on one of his shins. Had to cover it up every game.

[sam armstrong]

Darren Jackson was a Yam, Robertson a Hibee supposedly.

Darren didn't support any team as a boy, and not even when he joined Meadowbank Thistle. Not a yam

[sam armstrong]

John Robertson- Never a Hibs fan, used to got to a few games now and then but was never a big fan of either Hibs or Hearts. A total myth that has been accepted as fact as it makes a good story. His brother Chris was never a Hibs fan either and is in fact a die hard jambo.

Lee Wallace- Definitely was/is a Hibs fan.

It was his other brother who was a Hibby and John's team was Hibs till he started playing for the other team.

[Winston Ingram]

Darren dods now of Dundee utd was a Jambo i believe.

He was a Liverpool fan. His Scottish Team was Dundee United

[Winston Ingram]

Buzz is a definate hun. My sister went to school with him, and was always talking about him. He always wore rangers tops, and talked about them. Never a jambo. Not that a hun is any better mind you.

Bloke that sits next to me at work would argue. He's been a pal of his for years and said he was a Jambo

[JeMeSouviens]

Eh? Were his middle names King and William?


Daniel Fergus McGrain. It was the Hun who wouldn't sign him because of his name, not Celtc.

According to Wikipedia (so it must be true):

"McGrain supported Rangers (Celtic's Glasgow rivals) as a boy. He wrote two autobiographies, one when his career was at its peak and another shortly after he retired. In both, McGrain (a Protestant) told how he had been spotted by someone doing some scouting for Rangers when he was still a boy but the scout did not recommend him to Rangers, wrongly assuming from his name that he was a Catholic and that Rangers would not sign him because of this."

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Blue- Ivan was a hun before he joined us :wink:

Love all the myth's on threads like these. There's players who would appear to have supported hibs, hearts, rangers AND celtic whilst growing up!! :greengrin

Also heard the rumour about Broony having the rangers crest on his thigh which I would imagine is complete bollocks! What age was he wen he first signed for hibs?? Pretty young, cant imagine he already had a tattoo and doubt he would be daft enough to get that done whilst a hibs player? The same reason would pretty much rule out the Carragher rumour. Similarly I've heard a rumour Susan Kennedy from Neighbours is a hells angel lesbian in real life and has tattoos on her forearms and thats why she's always in long sleeves on set!ha I also dont believe that rumour. Finally on this tattoo theme, has anyone looked closely at the tattoo behind Kirk Broadfoot's lug?!? I assumed it was his initials but ive heard folk say its the RFC hun logo?! Anyone confirm or deny? Blue? I try not to look too closely at his horrible face. He looks like a horse in a huff :jamboak:

[blueisthecolour]

Darren didn't support any team as a boy, and not even when he joined Meadowbank Thistle. Not a yam

He is spotted at ibrox a lot in with the fans in the club deck, fan of us I couldn't say.

[Cropley10]

scott brown- rangers fan

Broon is far Hill o'Beith same as Jim Baxter, so mibees aye.

[hibby al]

scott brown was at a player of the year dance that i was
at, my wife got talking to him whilst she was out having a fag
(brown wasn,t smoking think he was just leaving )she said he
showed her a rankers tatoo on the back of his neck
ps seen on another thread that jim baxter was a hibee

[Hibs90]

Lee Wallace - Hibby
Craig Thomson - Hibby

[since90plustwo]

Ian Murray, raging Yam, ....... not fit to wear the green. :bitchy:



No way is murray a jambo after what he shaved into his head at the derby, and graeme smith is a jambo, he even admitted it in the paper

[hibbymac]

You really should try reading the whole thread. :tumble: :duck:

[Kiwi Hibby]

Baxter was a Hibby I had a whole set of annuals from the 50's 60's and 70's and in one he was interviewed and he was saying he was a Hibs fan. What about Steve Bruce, Newcastle fan, Sunderland manager.

[JimBHibees]

Darren didn't support any team as a boy, and not even when he joined Meadowbank Thistle. Not a yam

Hmm, not so sure about this FJK released a photo of DJ when he was playing for Hibs just before a derby which had Jackson as a Hearts mascot when he was a kid. Always thought that a completely classless thing to do but FJK is FJK.

Jackson also made some comment just after his dad died quite recently that it was appropriate that the last game they had been together was at Tynecastle.

[JimBHibees]

Missing out on Dalglish is akin to us missing out on Robertson!

Not even in the same stratosphere as players even allowing for Robbo's penchant for putting us to the sword.

[mondacabbage]

Gordon Rae was a jambo when at school.

Gordon Rae was a jambo when at school.Then he got educated ...:wink:

Worked alongside Darren when we were 16 year's old told me he was a Rangers fan(seriously). However i think liked more than anyone else maybe more appropriate. Never seemed to really favour any team but was just very determined to make it as a pro.

[jgl07]

I think that Darren's dad was a Rangers fan.

[Owain_1987]

I think Kevin Thomson's a Celtic fan, remember he claimed that when they came in for Broonie.

Thomson is a hun was pals with his cousin and he said their all family were hubs. Although he also was a Hibby being here so long.

[gogsy23]

jason thomson is a staunch jambo, never been a hibbie. stays in same street as me growing up.

buzz was a hun at high school his big bruvver was a jambo.

[JimBHibees]

[QUOTE=tbfhibs;2384280]

I knew Darren when he was younger as well and he was a Rangers fan, but never went to games.

So why would he be a Hearts mascot as a kid??

[thebakerboy]

DJ told me at a charity do that he did not really support any team but possibly he tended toward DER HUN. Craig Thomson his dad his grandad and sister have all held Hibs season tickets at some time. His dad and sister still do and had to leave an early KO at ER to see his debut at St Johnstone I do believe.

[Hibercelona]

Sebo was a Celtic man was he not?

Or didn't he follow everyone bar Rangers? :wink:

Someone (i cant remember his name now) who was on the bus with me to Hampden 2007 was sat next to DJ at the game.

[The Baldmans Comb]

Yup. Legend has it that, when the Celtic scouts were coming to his door, he pulled down all of his Rangers posters....

It's not legend as it's in KD's autobiography.:wink:

[hibbie-john]

Pretty sure Smith isn't a Jambo. Wouldn't think so anyway after the way he wound them up in the last Derby.

As for Wallace being a Hibby now, i'd be surprised. Craig Thomson at Hearts is, or was, a Hibs fan.

craig still a hibbie//:thumbsup: l asked him want to play for hibs "i wish"

[seanraff07]

All i know is that Lee Wallace is definitely a Hibby.:agree:

[QUOTE=Max;2384281]

So why would he be a Hearts mascot as a kid??

Because he wasn't a real fan and was just one of these daft OF fans that say they support Rangers or Celtic but don't really care or actually watch the games...

Just a guess.

[Stoke_Smart]

Craig Thomson looked like a Hearts man to me. He sat near me and cheered when we scored and walked up the road with us signing Hearts songs.
