2. W Miller?
3. C Milne
4. P Kane
5. Yogi
6. Hunter?
7. M Weir
8. Brebner

LG or DR are going to have to make way for KEITH KEITH KEITH.

And I reckon a few will suggest O'Rourke before all 3!

And that's not counting Lawrie Reilly.

And it's THOMSON FFS! :wink:

Cheers for that I was wracking my brain trying to think of the keeper who came through the ranks with us in the early to mid 90's, Chris Reid. :aok:

From Wiki "In 1963 Hibs battling to come out of a slump paid £7,500 for Neil Martin to play for the team he supported as a boy"

My aged father in law says that any "one of our own" side has to have Jimmy Kerr as its goalkeeper.
Proud East Lothian man and superb goalkeeper for the 1948 championship winning side as well as Hibs Director later on in life.

Johnnyboy probably saw jimmy play! (Sorry Johnny! ;-) )

My first ever game was Hibs 0 - 0 Aberdeen in 1983 and my first ever Hibs favourite was Willie 'no shinpads' Irvine

Unfortunately I can't claim to have been fortunate enough to have seen the likes of Stanton, O'Rouke and LR but no surprises whatsoever that they're in for others :thumbsup:

They weren't goalkeepers.

They were guys who stood between the posts. Like the guy in the park who couldn't play football but owned the ball. What did you do with him? Put him in goals.



Tommy Younger in goals surely.

Now you're talking. Younger and Kerr were top-class keepers - didn't see Jimmy but just caught Tommy at the end of his career and remember him well as a "statuesque" figure in the directors' box every match-day in the mid-60's.

Of the immediate post-war era you would have to include guys like them, plus Lawrie Reilly, Bobby Combe, Alec Buchanan, and Jackie Paterson. Martin, Stevenson, Wright, O'Rourke and Cropley all qualify, and Pat Stanton also HAS to be in. George Stewart's another.

I have no doubt about these guys' commitment to the club, but I do have to say I'm a wee bit suspicious of some of the later nominations - the ones who bailed at the first sniff of a cheque or the moment the team they were a part of got relegated.

Benny Brazil, anyone? :not worth:not worth:not worth
