Obscure XI

[AngusHibby]

A starting XI of hibs players who have simply faded into obscurity... I'll start off with Jakub Divis in net. Joining from tartan prestov much was expected of the young Czech, partly due to his outrageous potential on football manager. He managed three appearances for hibs and was hugely disappointing, even failing to impress one Colin calderwood.

[zosohibee]

Denes Rosa

[frazeHFC]

Could make a 12 team league with the amount we've had down the years!

[West hamBERNIAN]

yannick zambernardi:confused:

[Speedway]

Mike Franks and Robin Rae as backup goalies.

[YehButNoBut]

Torben Joneleit

[Broken Gnome]

Antonio Murray - Hibs to Histon to god knows who.
Craig Rocastle -after Sheffield Wednesday, only known by supporters of one team by his ability to fill a role in a way no other than Matty Jack could.

I won't say a certain two former players who were paired up front for a few years...

[Treadstone]

Torben Joneleit

I thought JC had pulled a flanker there. German just signed a 3 year deal at Monaco and coming on loan!

[Speedway]

Super Stevie Pinau up front.

[Speedway]

With Paul 'goals' Dalglish to partner him.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Joneleit (he came he saw he went home to become a professional cross-dresser)
Trakis suit (international espionage specialising in banana republic coups)
Barney Larusfen (children's TV presenter)
Olli Gotskalksson (became basketball player)
Thorstern? Schmugge (joined the Moomins)
Lillian le French dude (satirical cartoonist for L'equipe)

[Treadstone]

Juha Riipa

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Barry? Smart (cameo roles in Canadian tv movies)
Keegan Parker (international gigolo)
Paul Fenwick (polo player)
Hurtado (jazz saxophonist)
Prenderville (Father Ted tribute show actor)
Justin skinner (standup comic in Liverpool)

Fabrice Henry. Valued at £5k in Championship Manager 2000.

[Pete]

Dean shiels. Playing in the lower leagues somewhere. Waste.

[GlenrothesHibee]

yannick zambernardi:confused:

Thought he was a good player

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Thorsten Schmugge.

[ehf]

Martin MacIntosh. McLeish paid £450K for him :grr:

[Gus Fring]

Fabian Yantorno

Joe Keenan

Abderraouf Zarabi

David Grof

Bonus Anecdote: I've met a few Hibs players in my time (I used to frequent "Why Not" when I was younger) and David Grof was by far the biggest skidmark. You would think he had shutouts against the likes of Barcelona and Chelsea rather than being a guy who played 20 minutes in a League Cup defeat to Morton.

Lyndon Andrews ?

[Topographic Hibby]

Jarkko Wiss

Now manages a team in Finland that was punted out of their league for money laundering (or suspicions, thereof).

For every Mixu, there's a Jarkko.

For every SPL rulebook on "insolvency events" or SFA inaction over sectarian supporters, there's a football league that has balls and follows its rulebook and moral compass.

Good old Finland.....

[Mr White]

Lyndon Andrews ?

Played an hour in the 6-2 win after replacing Matty Jack.

Keegan Parker (international gigolo)
Paul Fenwick (polo player)
Hurtado (jazz saxophonist)
Prenderville (Father Ted tribute show actor)
Justin skinner (standup comic in Liverpool)

This is all very good, but are all obscurities fair game no matter who they played for? I remember this one around a bit, but not at Hibs.

[Diclonius]

David Grof

Seem to remember him being a prominent member of the George Street gang despite playing something like one first team fixture!

[Hank Schrader]

Peter Guggi. (mentioned above)

Seem to remember him banging in a double on the Saturday and on the front page of Sunday rag the next morning for getting up to no good with a nurse.

[ChilliEater]

Just to clear something up, and risk starting another Suwomni brothers scenario, I think someone is getting Keigan Parker, former promising St Johnstone and Scotland u21 striker who faded into obscurity, confused with Keegan Ayres, former promising Hibs and Canada u21 midfielder who faded into obscurity.

[HFC93]

Roland Edge

Shefki Kuqi

Although he has had a glittering career in the echelons of Engurlish football.

Derek Anderson!

Believe he never played again after his "performance" in the 3-3 Ayr game!

He was tipped for the top by JC and promptly got his jotters.

[JoeTortolanoFanClub]

Roland Edge at LB, then?

:greengrin

I saw him playing for Maidstone in the Ryman League a couple of seasons ago.

[Wembley67]

Martin MacIntosh. McLeish paid £450K for him :grr:

Wasn't a bad centre half at all, unfortunately at the time the £450k was the going rate for mediocre players.

[sbell1875]

Ian Cameron.

[green.and.white]

Not sure if already said, but Valdas Trakys

[Gettin' Auld]

Morten Guilderflaps (hyldergaard)

Some of the better names i can pull out in my 19 years of being a Hibs fan:

Kevin Nicol
Damon Gray
Jay Shields
Freddy Daquin
Freddy Arpinon
Eduardo Hurtado
Janos Matyus
Lillian Martin (although i think he may have retired)

My personal favorite is Emilio Bottiglieri

[AngusHibby]

O'donovan did score an absolute screamer to be fair to him

There was something not that long ago I read online.

Pretty sure Rocastle now plays in the "US Indoor Soccer League"

What happened to Greame Smith that played for us

[Makaveli]

What happened to Greame Smith that played for us

He made the natural move to Azerbaijan.

Still not far enough away from Hibs IMO.

[SmashinGlass]

As previously stated, Lilian Martin. Made 1 appearance when Le God was in the dugout if I remember correctly

[Bayern Bru]

What happened to Greame Smith that played for us


He made the natural move to Azerbaijan.

Still not far enough away from Hibs IMO.

Played 7 games for Gabala before they released him.

Signed short-term deals with Partick (scored an OG on his debut) and most recently Ayr.

Also, Patrick Noubissie.
