After seeing threads about Matt Busby and George Best recently, I was wondering what other players or managers Hibs and Man Utd shared in common.

I'm not a Man Utd fan or anything, but I have a mate who is, and we were talking about it, so I thought I'd ask the more knowledgable folks on here for help!

I'll start us off (apart from Busby and Best) with:

Andy Goram
Grant Brebner
Michael Stuart :greengrin

Any others?

Cheers

a few more obscure ones:

Tommy Bogan - wartime international
Bob Hardisty - who later became a coach and worked with Matt Busby who he had met playing for Hibs during the war. He came out of retirement to play for Man United after the Munich air disaster.

So if we can somehow get rid of man united...
