Players That Passed Through Easter Road & Were Immediately Forgotten

[Gala Foxes]

Read the Evening News match from years ago report today - Killie - Hibs from 2004, it mentions a run + pass from Alan Reid.

There is a player who I completely forgot played for Hibs - I still remember the shock that he was in the team for the Livvi shambles

[dmc1875]

Around 98/99 did we not have a player called Alex Marinkov? Someone was talking to me about him the other day!

And also does anyone remember the Trinidad lad we had around 2000, striker I think he was? Hardly ever played cant remember his name!:cb

[truehibernian]

Hakim Sar....signed during what Jim McLean rightly described as silly season, when if you had a foreign sounding name you were signed regardless of talent. I think he played in a cup game but can't even be sure.

[Mikey_1875]

Denis rosa, thought he had some potential but turned out to be pretty poor/injured a lot I think.

[Steve20]

Earl Jean.

[Mikey_1875]

Did Andy McLaren ever play for us aswell? Maybe in a trial game or something, remember the rumours but can't remember if he ever signed.

[Golden Bear]

I remember the Dempsie brothers from about 12 years ago. Both were promising defenders and products of our youth system.

From what I can remember, they both made limited appearances for the first team then seem to disappear without trace.

[Lofarl]

Jonathan Grounds. Played plenty of games, but a total non entity.

[Mark79]

Peter Guggi and fabrice Henry ?

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Mike Francks.

[we are hibs]

aberouf zarabi - left back 2007/08

[sundo1875]

Lyndon andrews

[bigwheel]

Joe Keenan. .... Please let me forget about him! .... So so awful

[Leitherhibs]

Freddie daquin

[smurf]

World Cup star Mark Caughey.

[I'm_cabbaged]

Cannae remember any.

[andy1875]

Lyndon Andrews, altho he did play a stormer in THAT 6-2 game :greengrin

[Sergeant Hibs]

Oumar Konde

[Iain G]

Kevin Nicol, we paid money for him as one of the next big things and he never really got a good chance...

Lilian Martin must be up there too...

[Leitherhibs]

Roland edge.

[Forza Fred]

Mike Conroy

[Frogga]

Daryl Duffy... And he only left 6 months ago!

[Onceinawhile]

Did Andy McLaren ever play for us aswell? Maybe in a trial game or something, remember the rumours but can't remember if he ever signed.

He played as a trialist in a pre season friendly versus Preston north end.

[Leitherhibs]

Thorsten schmugge

Is one of them not dead now? I seem to remember something couple years back about a drug overdose?

[dmc1875]

Kevin Nicol, we paid money for him as one of the next big things and he never really got a good chance...

Lilian Martin must be up there too...

From what I remember we had the choice of him or Nacho Novo at the time...:rolleyes:

Scratch that it was Liam O'Sullivan

[hibee_girl]

Paul Dalglish

[Aubenas]

Think Alan Dempsey played on down the leagues; Mark had to retire because of a chronic injury - hip I think it was. He looked promising. IIRC Alan was useful but really too wee

[Steve20]

Matt Thornhill.

[Sergeant Hibs]

Morten Hyldgaard

[SteveHFC]

Paul Hartley

[Barney McGrew]

Justin Skinner

[Dashing Bob S]

George Stark

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Antonio Murray.

[Golden Bear]

George Stark

He must have passed through REALLY quickly.

Can't say I've even heard of the guy!

[andy1875]

Barry Prenderville anyone?

I mind he scored a cracker shooting towards the Famous Five. sure he was on loan from Coventry City.

[Pretty Boy]

Allan Smart.

Think we tried to get him for about 6 months from Watford.

Always looked 2 stone overweight.

[HibbyAndy]

Junior Agogo.

Mark Mcgraw.

[s.a.m]

Junior Agogo.

Mark Mcgraw.

You beat me to it. :greengrin


I was going to say Rab Shannon, as well. I had high hopes for him when he signed, but he got injured (I think?) early on, and that was about it for him.

[hibsboy90]

Patrick Nouboussie (sp?)

Torben Joneleit

Steven Pinau

[Mon Dieu4]

Juha Rippa, played against them at the Pink Palace, I was one of a select few who witnessed him

Bjarni Laursen :faf:

[Pretty Boy]

Juha Rippa, played against them at the Pink Palace, I was one of a select few who witnessed him

Bjarni Laursen :faf:

I genuinely forgot about Rippa.

I wonder if he's still in the centre circle at Tynecastle because he never left it that day.

[Hibiza]

jarko wiss (did i spell that correctly)

[beensaidbefore]

Peter Guggi and fabrice Henry ?

beat me too it. What about (Emile) Hurtado, Jarko Wiss

[judas]

Hakim Sar....signed during what Jim McLean rightly described as silly season, when if you had a foreign sounding name you were signed regardless of talent. I think he played in a cup game but can't even be sure.

In that case, my name is Mabosa Ritchie and I have always wanted to play for Hibernian Football Club.

[beensaidbefore]

what was the Hungarian defender about 4 or 5 seasons ago, sure he was injured almost the whole time we had him. Used to play for Hungary??

[judas]

Justin Skinner

I thought Skinner was a superb player for Hibs. Very composed and a good passer.

[andy1875]

what was the Hungarian defender about 4 or 5 seasons ago, sure he was injured almost the whole time we had him. Used to play for Hungary??

Janos Matyus? Sure he was a left back.

[Greentinted]

Eamonn Bannon

[Matty_Jack04]

Marc libbra

[J-C]

Patrick Nouboussie (sp?)

Torben Joneleit

Steven Pinau


All 3 never given a a chance unfortunately

[Speedy]

Morten Hyldgaard

I can remember thinking he was good.


Janos Matyus? Sure he was a left back.

Did he not play centre back alongside Zambernardi?

[21.05.2016]

Roland Edge
Jay Shields
Paul Fenwick
Sam Morrow

[Gala Foxes]

jarko wiss (did i spell that correctly)

think you mis-spelt it , change the W to a P and add an H at the end

[Gala Foxes]

Rikki Fleming

Chris Jackson

Billy McLaren

Hugh Hamill

Terry Wilson

Bobby Torrance

Joe Ward

Willie Irvine (the 2nd)

[Gala Foxes]

Gerry O'Brien - although he did gubb the Jambo's in his debut in an East Of Scotland Shield Final

[Gala Foxes]

Richie Towell

[marco1875]

Daryl Duffy... And he only left 6 months ago!

I completely forgot about him.

What about Barry Prenderville (Not sure if correct spelling, was an Irish boy I think)

[marco1875]

Roland Edge
Jay Shields
Paul Fenwick
Sam Morrow

Fenwick was decent imo.

[R'Albin]

Phil Airey!

[Holmesdale Hibs]

Lilian Martins

[JE89]

Paul Lovering

[Steve-O]

Roland edge.

Probably better than any of our current defenders...along with Konde, Humprey Rudge, and Barry Prenderville!

[Wembley67]

Fenwick was decent imo.

Agreed, formed a pretty good defence with alongside I think Shaun Dennis, Gary Smith and Derek Collins....

[Steve-O]

Thomas Sowumni. Ended up at Falkirk and did well :agree:

[muzzhfc]

Phil Airey!

Now hitting the heights with the mighty Gateshead

[spudhib]

Paul holsgrove,garry murray,bobby flavell

[JE89]

Paul holsgrove

Was just trying to remember his name. Did he not give away a penalty in that game against Stranraer at ER by essentially flicking the ball away with his hand despite being under no pressure?

[Brebners Bookie]

Patrick Nouboussie (sp?)

Torben Joneleit

Steven Pinau

As i've posted before Joneleit is now quite a big deal in Belgium. Signed for Genk from JC's Charleroi and is now a regular starter and had a 3 million euro bid rejected for him.

[R'Albin]

Now hitting the heights with the mighty Gateshead

That's a bit far away from Newcastle is it not? He'll be getting homesick again :wink:

[Persevere80]

Fabian Yantorno

[The Modfather]

Craig James

[Ray_]

Alex McGregor, our free transfer close season signing from Ayr Utd, following the collapse of fortunes during the second half of the 72-3 campaign. Tom Hart did spend 120K [132K if you include the taxes] six month later on Joe Harper from Everton, but that's a different thread altogether :greengrin

[Spike Mandela]

Billy Findlay (did he not get a five year contract from Hibs at one point?)

[.Sean.]

Yvan Tomatula and Andis Shala.

[Sunny1875]

Right now we could do with Lovering , Dennis , Fenwick, Derek Collins

Skinner, Holsgrove, Gary Smith, Ulrik Laursen, Freddy Arpinion , Zitelli and Mathias Doumbe or even Colin Murdock all of whom would improve the current squad.

And before anyone slags of Murdock remember he did have the bottle to score the winning penalty against Rangers in the Semi final of the league cup

[Wilson]

Andy Dow
Stephen Glass

[brog]

Who was the poor lad Ian ??? who broke his leg 1 minute into his debut against Berwick & never played again??
I'll also add Ian Cameron to the list!

[we are hibs]

[tanfield]

Paul Lovering

Lovering was excellent in our 1st Division year. Unfortunately that was his level

[Speedway]

Tom Smith - good player in the making

David Elliot - Bad player completed

Joe McLaughlin - Old player

Bryan Gunn - Bald player

Graham Love - I thought he was good

Danny Lennon - I thought he was average

Kevin McKee - The only one not to make it from the Hunter, Kane, Weir, Collins batch

Callum Milne - Mr. Average.

Davie Fellinger - Slower than a dead person who can't be bothered to be buried

Graeme Donald - Defender turned goal machine, if the machine broke down quite quickly

Jason Gardiner - Went onto have a reasonable career

[Greentinted]

Is it just me who thinks there's more than a touch of irony in the amount of players who were immediately forgotten..who are well remembered. :greengrin (I would say Kenny Miller is a bit harsh - always mind of his strike in the millennium derby)

[Speedway]

Aye but I had to think about my list starting with, who have I forgotten?

[Greentinted]

Hows about Robin Rae?

[I'm_cabbaged]

Jim goodwin

[Mikey_1875]

Johnathan Baillie. Most notable thing he did was get sent off vs Celtic iirc.

[malcky]

Butch Wilkins

[TrinityHibs]

I remeber a winger we signed. I always thought he might be a player but I've not seen him play in ages if ever. The problem is I have forgotten his name. It was something like Ganny Dalbraith. If I remember anything positive he did I'll amend this post.

[easty]

Martin Canning
Bryan Gunn (I always remember thinking his attempt at saving Robbos freekick was awful, but at least we won).
Lee Power and Paul Tosh

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Colin Harris and Graeme Harvey. Both swapped teams and ended up nowhere.

John McGachie.

[LaMotta]

[LaMotta]

Graeme Donald - Defender turned goal machine, if the machine broke down quite quickly



Sure he started in the team as a Teenage Hitkid, playing as a striker with three goals in first five games, before Lexo turned him into an average defender.

[HibbyAndy]

Damon Gray.




I thank you.

[ancient hibee]

Ken Allison -late 50s-4 goals in 5 games-not Hibs class.Angus Plumb-late40s-10 goals in 10 games-likewise.Those were the days.>

No he didn't unfortunately.

Another name that popped into ma heid: Martin MacIntosh. Whatever happened to him?

[Jonnyboy]

Who was the poor lad Ian ??? who broke his leg 1 minute into his debut against Berwick & never played again??
I'll also add Ian Cameron to the list!

That was Ian Hendry. Broke his leg 40 seconds into his debut against Berwick (double compound fracture). Played one more first team game before leaving the club.

[Purple & Green]

Kirk Broadfoot.

[NOLA]

Humphrey Rudge

[edinburghhibee]

Óle Gottskálksson

Tony Rougier

never heard much of him when he left.

Hard to believe that was almost 7 years ago -Jeez ah feel auld

[Gala Foxes]

Derek Rodier

Stuart Turnbull ( great goal at Tannadice though) - come to think of it , not forgotten because of that goal

[Www1875hfc]

Bobby Thompson.

Wonder what kind of ban he would get now for shaking a linesman.

[Hiber-nation]

From the 70s...

Bobby Robertson - keeper, 1 game vs Keflavik I think
Mike Wilson
Rab Kilgour
Ian Black snr
The 2 guys we signed from Leeds in a blaze of publicity who never once made the 1st team

You're absolutely right, I was thinking of Stevie Woods.

Whilst I'm here I'll raise you a Shana Hadji.

[Steve-O]

Graham Love - I thought he was good



Graham Love was truly terrible.

[fat freddy]

ally scott and grahame fyfe....to think we swapped the mighty iain munro for them...im still angry about it.

[SMAXXA]

Didier Agathe

[SMAXXA]

David "Ynot" Groff

[Speedway]

Graham Love was truly terrible.

Not at first, looked a prospect.

[DAVE1875]

Sorry if someone has already mentioned him - Alan O'Brien

[Steve-O]

Not at first, looked a prospect.

Until it became clear he was slower than a tortoise.

[GreenPJ]

Barry Prenderville and Roland Edge although i did think Prenderville was decent.

[s.a.m]

Sorry if someone has already mentioned him - Alan O'Brien

Don't mean to be unkind to the lad, but I think he was -in his own way - unforgettable.

[PatHead]

Another name that popped into ma heid: Martin MacIntosh. Whatever happened to him?

Did he not go to Hamilton and was the guy who crippled Stack last season? (which led to the end of the fantastic five game run)

[Pretty Boy]

Scott Bannerman

Emilio Bottiligieri

LuaLuas cousin

[Speedway]

Until it became clear he was slower than a tortoise.

That never stopped Davie Boy Beaumont

[fat freddy]

That never stopped Davie Boy Beaumont

the luckiest hibs player ever...a cup winners medal 5 minutes after arriving at E.R. and he just sat on the bench to gain it (denying joe tortolano the privilage that would surely have been his)...mind you his goal against anderlecht would probably exclude him from entering the forgetable category.

[DAVE1875]

Don't mean to be unkind to the lad, but I think he was -in his own way - unforgettable.

Apart from the Squiggler game I can't think of any other decent performances from him

[Andy74]

Apart from the Squiggler game I can't think of any other decent performances from him

One other - Falkirk at home has was just about unplayable. Laid a few on a plate for Fletcher who was going through a spell of missing everything!

I think he actually got a standing ovation after he went off injured towards the end.

[DaveSo]

Can't remember for sure his name but I think it was Barry Prenderville.
Although he did score an absolute belter against Morton at ER in the Great Adverture season.

[GreenPJ]

Can't remember for sure his name but I think it was Barry Prenderville.

:agree: full back on loan from Coventry I think. Not sure if he ever got his league winners medal as think he was just on the cusp of no of games played.

[easty]

Did he not go to Hamilton and was the guy who crippled Stack last season? (which led to the end of the fantastic five game run)

Nah that was Mark McLaughlin wasnt it?

[hibbybob]

Rab Shannon!

What a depressing thread this is!

[ancient hibee]

Has anyone mentioned Sven Mathisen or Isaac Refvik?


The wrong Mark Caughey?


Brian Marjoribanks -3 goals in 5 games.

[snooky]

Has Andy "I'm not bitter" Walker been mentioned?
