Former Hibs Player Billy Hunter

[Tom Hart RIP]

Billy Hunter who played for us for a short spell in the late sixties is the new ambassador of the Football Memories Project. Lawrie Reilly used to have this role and Billy has just taken over. This is a fantastic charity which helps people with dementia by showing them old football photos and getting them talking about their memories. A number of clubs, including Hibs are involved in the project. Here is a link to the article which contains a photo of Billy and two team-mates from the sixties. I am of an age where I recognise both and also what they have in common, but won't name them. Well done Billy and everyone concerned in this very worthwhile cause. http://www.theedinburghreporter.co.uk/

Joe McBride and Pat Quinn?

Correct. And they all played for Motherwell at some point as well as us. Billy never played that many games because of the competition for places but he was a Scotland international. Bob Shankly signed him then left.
