Why no Tony Rougier?

He's a Trinidad & Tobago international but he just missed out on playing in the Scottish Premier League, as his stints with Raith Rovers and Hibernian came before the League was established.

He was with Hibs in 1998-99 but the club wasn't a founder member of the SPL.

By the time Hibs won promotion to the SPL, Rougier had been sold to Port Vale.

Why no Tony Rougier?

Left Hibs half way through the promotion season in 1998-99 and didn't play in Scotland again.

this is not meant as a racist comment at all - but what a marvellous list of useless bellends there have been from Lithuania:greengrin

Nah, that was Lyndon Andrews.

Earl Jean was a striker - mate of Russel Latapy. Saw both of them wrecked outside Eros/Elite a few nights before the 2000 Scottish Cup semi versus Aberdeen. :greengrin

Denes Rosa I'd forgotten about him. Looked a decent player, many thought he was leaving us to go to Hearts IIRC.


I see Torben Jonleit has now made 55 apps for Belgian club Genk scoring 6 goals.

Oh well looked through the Killie ones and only couldn't remember one of them...who the **** is Lindsay Wilson?!? Apparently he played 13 times or summat!

Ah, just check the unofficial websited! An Aussie defender who we signed on loan from PSV in 2005/06. Obvious when you think about it!

How many ****ing times must we go through this?

ENOCH Showunmi played for Hibs, scored against QOTS in the Scottish Cup. His half-brother TAM Sowunmi had a dire stint at Falkirk, Enoch didn't play for Falkirk and Tam never played for Hibs.


That should clear it up and we can put this discrepancy to bed.
