Any players you REALLY wish had never played for Hibs?

[SkintHibby]

Obviously there are loads but to this day, the fact that Ray Wilkins played for us still makes me squirm.

His allegiance to the huns and his age when he signed for us. :-(

[Broken Gnome]

Alan O'Brien for being symbolic of an utterly wasted period of what should have been decent investment. And Zibi. Caused too much pain.

I'm going to guess Doddie will say a fat striker of the 70s era...

[Saorsa]

Zibi Malclownshoes

[SkintHibby]

Eamonn Bannon is another. :-(

[Barney McGrew]

Hartley.

Horrible wee welt that he is.

[eastterrace]

zibby as has helped to some of the worst derby defeats in our history

[Jonnyboy]

That's not a guess Richey, that's a certainty :greengrin

I'll go for Joe Ward. Supposed to be a striker - I just wish he'd gone on strike and saved us the horror of having to watch him play :agree:

[hibees 7062]

Mark Caughey , Adam Le Fondre

[3pm]

It's a bit harsh. Everyone is just going to name folk who were ***** but thought they'd be OK at the time.

Michael Stewart is going to get mentioned too.

Daft thread. But put me down for Joe Keenan.

And while he never played, that Calderwood.

[Torto7062]

Zibbi,Konte,Nish(he was a tryer)

[Mr White]

Matt doherty and mikey spewart.

[MWHIBBIES]

Garry O'Connor the second time, ruined (in my opinion) one of my favorite Hibs players with his antics and pretty poor performances for most of the season

[Spike Mandela]

Obviously there are loads but to this day, the fact that Ray Wilkins played for us still makes me squirm.

His allegiance to the huns and his age when he signed for us. :-(

Played his debut for Hibs on my wedding day and was Man of the Match. Always a player I liked watching even when he was with Oldco. Seems a gentleman.:cb

Also that day Hearts got four players sent off at Ibrox as well.

[Frazerbob]

Eamonn Bannon is another. :-(

Why? He was signed as a coach and only played one game when we were down to the bare bones. IIRC it was the final game of the season and he was MOTM.

[3pm]

The majority of the team that played in the final v the balcony brigade.

[blackpoolhibs]

Zibi obviously, Wilkins, Scott and Fyffe :rolleyes: Calderclown, Bertie ****in Auld, thats is his full name.

And many many more. :boo hoo:

IF I recall correctly he even got a mention in your speech!! Cant believe you made me miss his debut just cos you were getting married! I agree with the OP he was an embarrassment.

Joe Harper - Obnoxious little 💩

Peter Guggi

Yves Ma Kalambay

[SkintHibby]

Why? He was signed as a coach and only played one game when we were down to the bare bones. IIRC it was the final game of the season and he was MOTM.

My memory is shocking, thought he had played more than one game.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Hurtado. Murdock. Charnley. Power.

[Onceinawhile]

Ray wilkins came straight to mind. Id also agree with zibby. A three year deal ffs. Wtf was mogga thinking!!!

other than that there are very few who didn't have at least one Redeeming feature.

Edit: the miller brothers. Greg and graeme. Terrible, nepotism at its worst.

[Jonnyboy]

Why? He was signed as a coach and only played one game when we were down to the bare bones. IIRC it was the final game of the season and he was MOTM.

Only cos the sponsors wanted to meet him :greengrin

Was indeed the final match of the season and we lost 2-0 to Motherwell

[tamig]

Why? He was signed as a coach and only played one game when we were down to the bare bones. IIRC it was the final game of the season and he was MOTM.

Think he played centre half that day and was excellent. What a player he was in his pomp on the wing for McLean's United.

[SkintHibby]

Hurtado. Murdock. Charnley. Power.

Good shout - Charnley is another one I never liked seeing in Hibs colours.

[Jonnyboy]

Think he played centre half that day and was excellent. What a player he was in his pomp on the wing for McLean's United.

Agreed. I used to watch him pre United when he played for Links - was a real standout

[Viva_Palmeiras]

My memory is shocking, thought he had played more than one game.

Me too thought it was 6 but I've not googled. What with Wilkins and Bannon makes you wonder whether it was just a case of Miller mistaking identity

[Deansy]

Joe Harper - waste of money - although Eddie Turnbull will always be my favourite manager, can never understand why he bought the wee, fat barrel !!

[Bostonhibby]

Zibi obviously, Wilkins, Scott and Fyffe :rolleyes: Calderclown, Bertie ****in Auld, thats is his full name.

And many many more. :boo hoo:

:agree: Scott & Fyfe - we got them in exchange for Ian Munro, a really good player. Scott ran, and looked like a blonde Max Wall - once scored a goal from about a foot out, it hit off his knee when he fresh aired it with his other leg - against Rosenborg in Europe I think. Alan O'Brien & Ed De Graff would be my recent ones.. I didn't like Simon Brown either.

[vincipernoi]

:confused:

I'll vote for Fat Joe as well, yes he scored a barrowload but his signing broke up the Tornadoes a season too early and the wee barrel of sheidt just couldn't hide his allegiance to the sheep.

[Ringothedog]

Players like Stuart Turnbull, Duncan Lambie. They should never, ever, effin ever been near to wearing the Hibs jersey :grr:

[Peevemor]

Easy. Stuart Turnbull.

Alex Miller's laddies also deserve a mention.

[Pretty Boy]

I'll always forgive players who weren't very good but clearly tried eg Nish, Makalamby.

I reserve real dislike for players who treat is with disrespect. I'm sure it was Eddie Turnbull who said in his book that players should be made aware of just how great a history Hibs have and should appreciate playing for us. Some of us would give anything to play for Hibs and players who disrespect that chance i can't stand.

So step forward Matt Docherty. From Calling us Hearts in the interview after he signed, to laughing and saying no chance when asked if he would be back, to his 'i don't give a ****' comment after that final.

A total and utter ringpiece from the m8nute he arrived until he left.

[Hibs Class]

Didier Agathe. Would have liked it if he'd stayed but as he was here for next to no time and couldn't get to Celtc quickly enough I'd rather he hadn't bothered.

[Pretty Boy]

Yep.

Anyone who publicly admitted to mixed feelings before a derby should have been slaughtered.......... or shown the door if i was feeling generous.

[Peevemor]

Didier Agathe. Would have liked it if he'd stayed but as he was here for next to no time and couldn't get to Celtc quickly enough I'd rather he hadn't bothered.

Hibs only gave him a 3 month contract. It wasn't his fault.

Didier Agathe. Would have liked it if he'd stayed but as he was here for next to no time and couldn't get to Celtc quickly enough I'd rather he hadn't bothered.

yes if we had given him a two year contract we would have made a lot more than what these weegies gave us , thats all they do in scotland is hoover up what they can.

[Jonnyboy]

Hibs only gave him a 3 month contract. It wasn't his fault.

Not sure that's 100% the case Peeve.

Big Eck told me that he tried on numerous occasions to get Agathe on a longer contract but the player and his agent kept stalling. There was a strong suggestion that Celtic were courting him while he was contracted to Hibs.

Maybe so, but Hibs didn't have enough confidence in his ability to step up to the premier league in the first place. There was always the risk of his being offered a better deal elsewhere..

Agree with all bar Mark McGraw. That laddie was tremendous in the first part of 91/92 season, perfect foil for Keith, Keith, Keith. Got a really bad injury, and was never the same player afterwards. Gareth wouldn't have played in the Skol Cup Final if he [McGraw] hadn't been injured IMO.

[weecounty hibby]

As someone else mentioned, the Miller brothers. Both utterly useless and possibly the worst players ever to play for Hibs. Alex Miller should have been sacked for giving them contracts

Paul Hartley would be my No.1 - he has a face that you would never grow tired of slapping.

[Leishy1995]

If Kevin Thomson hadn't came back and showed how much he loved the club with performances he has turned in this season and last, and the stuff he has said since returning, it would be him.

Matt Doherty, Paul Hartley, Colin Nish, not a bad guy just a hopeless player who should never have been signed, Martin Scott. Purely for the Sean Welsh incident, ruined a young players chances at stepping up.

Kujabi for wearing gloves in May and konte for not living up to the tag of the Malian Magician, Steven Thicot, despite the fact there was a chant about him on Monday night just past.

[Fergus52]

Zibbi,Konte,Nish(he was a tryer)

Without konte we wouldn't have came third, not just for the goal at other well but also due to his performances when we beat Celtic and hearts.

And without Nish I doubt we would have gotten Europe under yogi, due to his 5 goals in the last two games which got us 4th place, as well as his assists that season.

Alan O'Brien - had more 2nd chances than Mike Tyson and then turned in the most feart performance at Tynecastle from a professional footballer that I've ever seen.
Benji (post time in Morocco/Belgium/Qatar version). Unfit, uninterested and - because of the talent we all knew he had - incredibly frustrating. That and the perma-Ramadan excuses for his lack of fitness/interest from some on here.

as i have said in earlier post he was a disaster, how mowbray thought he could do a job for us i will never know, he was poor in derby games and that lot let him know it , he use to crap himself when in goals at their end, think he tried to get subbed just before half time as he couldnt face in goals with these muppets behind him in one game at easter road. wish we had never set eyes on him

yes i was there to that night and it was a howler but never as bad as zibbys howlers ie scottish cup semi final in the 4=0 drubbing he was at fault with 3 goals , charlie adam two goals from free kicks at easter road i could go on and on the boy was a nightmare, oh forgot we are 2-0 up at easter road against them and he comes for a ball in the box just pass the penalty spot and the hearts player beats him too it , we end up drawing 2-2 and we were all over them but for that twat. oh john collins pub team game when we lost 3-2 twat features cost us the 3rd goal. hated that man

Sorry to Willie Ormond who signed him but how this guy was ever Aston Villa's youngest even player is beyond me and every other Hibbie who watched him in 14 abject performances attempting to run up the left wing with the ball without falling over.

This - remember my mate saying that McIntyre would have brought Foster down...hard (walked but none of that pussy footing nonsense). 93/96 were my main seasons as a ST holder and I've been looking back at them fondly but its scary how many players from those years have made it onto this list.

Matt Doherty for his post final comments - shocking in any professional person - gets my vote for this thread.

Was definitely Brown.

Zibi is a strange one. I remember he started off ok without being fantastic then he had a great game in the 3-0 humping of Rangers (Ivan game) then very soon after it all went wrong.

A few Polish mates of mine assure me he has been great since moving back there and is playing regularly and well in the top division.

Can only guess it was a confidence thing and his nerves just got the better off him.

Yes, indeed I do wish the Fat Yellow-Bellied Lardass had never darkened the doors of ER - and trust me, when his great fat belly loomed over the threshold closely followed by the mountainous backside and the pumpkinheid the size of a planet (and not a small planet, either) the lights indeed went out on the finest football team I've ever seen playing in the Scottish League. "Darkened" was the word for it.

Quite apart form his general personal obnoxiousness, his cowardice - very few "international" strikers hid from the ball the way Slimy Joe did whenever the boots started flying - and his unrivalled capacity for destroying team-spirit and making whatever company he was in unanimous in their opinion that The Adipose One was sorely in need of a Right Good Kicking - when I consider what Hibs might have done with the £140,000 that that idiot Turnbull wasted on "the striker who would win us the League Championship" (pause for hollow, cynical, disbelieving laugh) ...

The money squandered on Harper would have brought in three or four top-class players in those days - better players than Harper, and players who would have extended the life of the Tornadoes team rather than hastening its untimely demise.

Harper's transfer alone erased whatever respect I ever had for Eddie Turnbull. The squad he inherited had the best team-spirit of any team I've ever seen - not to mention the fact that every one of them was a footballer of the highest quality. If you take THAT team and compare it to the team he left when he retired, you can form a fair judgement of his capacity as a manager of Hibernian FC. We'd have been far far better off if Tom Hart hadn't fallen out with Willie MacFarlane. Willie Mac was a manager head and shoulders above Turnbull.

But FWIW, another player I devoutly wish had never been allowed near ER except in the colours of the poxy team he really loves is Mick Stewart A rank bad day it was when HE signed up.

]im Blair for me, he came in an era where signings were few and far between & at 45k, he was a lot of money. Since the mid to late nineties, there have been zillions of really bad signings, its hardly worth the effort of singling out any of them out.

The duffers from the past have been well documented,Martin Henderson, Fyfe, Scott, Ward, Bell, Watson & I would include Alex McGregor, although a free from Ayr United, signings back in 1973 were big news and I don't even think he got a game.

I still feel deep regret at what might have been, and unlike many on this board I don't consider either Turnbull or Hart to be "great Hibbies".

Hart took over a club in reasonably good shape and left it worse off; Turnbull inherited a superb squad of players and left a shambles. The Harper deal was symptomatic of what went wrong and the wastage of £140,000 (a huge sum in those days) a major contributory factor in triggering the subsequent decline.

It won't ever be "out of my system" - for a few brief months we were privileged to see a Hibs team capable (on its day) of beating any other team in Britain, playing football of the highest possible quality, a team with such a rapport with the supporters that truly anything seemed possible.

Some folks point to Onion's broken leg and Mickey's suspension as the factors that broke the spell, but Des Bremner had arrived just before Onion's injury (and he was serious quality, BTW), and if we needed a back-up for Mickey (and we did) Turnbull should have signed one instead of bringing in a grossly inadequate replacement for a player (Alan Gordon) who didn't need replacing.

A good friend of mine at the time (who apparently still graces the West Stand) was with me the day Alan G returned to ER with Dundee.

Harper was 'playing' - or at least he was wearing a strip and occupying an irrelevant space on the pitch while doing nothing to contribute to the game.

Dundee broke up the slope; a cross came in from their right wing and guess who rose majestically to head the ball into the Hibs net? Alan Gordon himself.

My mate turned to us and pointing to AG said, "Look at that. Athleticism personified! And what do we have in his place?"

(Points to Lardass skulking back in the Hibs half - Lardass never tracked back, it was too much hard work for the wee slimebag.)

"THAT WEE FAT TURD!"

Perhaps someone who thinks Turnbull knew what he was about can explain the logic of replacing an admittedly part-time centre-forward, who was nevertheless built like a greyhound and fit as a butcher's dug, who covered every blade of grass during a match, and who scored 25-30 goals a season, with a wee fat guy who did very little running, who hid from any threat of a tackle, who poisoned the atmosphere in the dressing-room and who simply could not fit into the structure of the team as it was when he arrived? Whose arrival signalled the destruction of the best team of footballers I ever saw?

What Turnbull inherited from Willie Mac was a strike force of Alan Gordon and Jim O'Rourke, who performed nobly for him until they were unceremoniously punted as 'not good enough', to be replaced by Lardass Harper and TONY HIGGINS who was to the forward line what Benny Brazil was to the back four.

(That's Benny who according to Turnbull was going to be 'the new Pat Stanton'. :brickwall )

Doddie, I don't think anyone can dispute that Turnbull wasn't a HIbs great. I would agree that he oversaw the break up of a wonderful team and the subsequent demise into the mediocrity of relegation.

In his book Turnbull's unhappiness with his managership of Hibs shone through. He seemed to reserve much more affection for his days at Aberdeeen.

I think Chairman Hart did have a big role in all of that. The sale of guys like Smith, Blackley, Brownlie and Bremner ensured that the foundations left to rebuild were very shaky. It does seem that Hart's heart wasn't in by then (say 1978). Seems i

I don't think anyone can explain why Turnbull signed wee fat Joe. It's an eternal mystery. Other transfer business also seems odd, the swap of Munro for Scott and Fyfe being an obvious example.

NOW I'm feeling better! :wink:

I remember Harper playing for Aberdeen and he was a great player who scored a loads of goals, 68 in 102 games in his first spell there and a ratio better than one in two in his second spell, after he had left Hibs. His last game for Hibs was a reserve match, where he scored five. In his two spells at Morton, much of which was in the top league [if not all], he scored 65 goals in 85 games, so he certainly had the ability and that's why ET would have been attracted to him.

When he played for Everton I used to often see him in the extended highlights for the North West [the big match], as I lived just outside Manchester by then & he was far and away their most productive player, often playing in a midfield role and he scored 12 in his 43 games for them and I was delighted when we signed him. It didn't work out for him at Hibs, for whatever reason, but he certainly wasn't a player without ability.

Matt Doherty may have made a few stupid comments, most of them after a lot of goading from Hibs fans, but he would walk into the current team at right back and is probably the only decent right back we have had since Whittaker.

If you don't want to read on, John, I'll understand. Older punters of a nervous disposition should not read further. I'll only mention four, but they're all prime candidates for a place in The Forward Line From Hell (along with You Know Who.)


Remember Jim Blair? First time he waddled out onto the pitch three guys behind me burst out (in unison) with "What the **** id THAT?" Their question has never been answered. The only player other than Amadou Konte to master the art of jumping downwards.

Mark Caughey. An international for Northern Ireland, believe it or not. Played 15-20 games for us (I'd really rather not remember him too clearly) and scored a big fat ZERO. never even looked liked breaking his duck. This was the guy IIRC whom Kenny Waugh pursued all the way to the USA to beat other teams for his signature. There were no other teams who wanted his signature.

Graeme Fyfe. Ex-Rangers. Part of Ned Turnbull's "Brave New World" project to replace the Tornadoes. Not so much a Tornado as a Turnip. Usually appears in my screaming nightmares alongside the only Hibs centre-forward I loathe more deeply that Lardass, namely ...

... Ally Scott. (Absolutely NOT to be confused with Alex Scott, brother of Jim and right-winger on the night we trounced Napoli. Alex was a scholar and a gentleman, who could curl in as wicked a corner kick as you would wish to see in a long long season.) ALLY SCOTT, the footballer Frankenstein manufactured and scrapped before he started working on Amadou-do-do. I initially thought he was wearing his boots on the wrong feet, but later I came to realise that he had his right boot at the end of his right leg, and his left boot at the end of his left leg; the problem was that his right foot was in his left boot at the end of his left leg, and his left foot was in his right boot at the end of his right leg. And there was no connection whatsoever between his feet and what passed for his brain.

Remember Jim Blair? First time he waddled out onto the pitch three guys behind me burst out (in unison) with "What the **** id THAT?" Their question has never been answered. The only player other than Amadou Konte to master the art of jumping downwards.

Mark Caughey. An international for Northern Ireland, believe it or not. Played 15-20 games for us (I'd really rather not remember him too clearly) and scored a big fat ZERO. never even looked liked breaking his duck. This was the guy IIRC whom Kenny Waugh pursued all the way to the USA to beat other teams for his signature. There were no other teams who wanted his signature.

Graeme Fyfe. Ex-Rangers. Part of Ned Turnbull's "Brave New World" project to replace the Tornadoes. Not so much a Tornado as a Turnip. Usually appears in my screaming nightmares alongside the only Hibs centre-forward I loathe more deeply that Lardass, namely ...

... Ally Scott. (Absolutely NOT to be confused with Alex Scott, brother of Jim and right-winger on the night we trounced Napoli. Alex was a scholar and a gentleman, who could curl in as wicked a corner kick as you would wish to see in a long long season.) ALLY SCOTT, the footballer Frankenstein manufactured and scrapped before he started working on Amadou-do-do. I initially thought he was wearing his boots on the wrong feet, but later I came to realise that he had his right boot at the end of his right leg, and his left boot at the end of his left leg; the problem was that his right foot was in his left boot at the end of his left leg, and his left foot was in his right boot at the end of his right leg. And there was no connection whatsoever between his feet and what passed for his brain.

You forgot the genius that was MARTIN HENDERSON, again an ex-Ger who was to goal scoring like an anvil was to wind surfing. Or the £80,000 priced Joe Ward whom i can't remember having a shot at goal far less scoring for us.

No, I didn't. I just thought there was enough grief in the four I mentioned to be going on with. :devil:

At least Henderson and Ward (9 and 6 respectively?) didn't play too many games for us. It seemed like bloody Scott and Fyfe were here for ever.

I could also have mentioned Alan Cousin, who figured in Dundee's Hall of Fame as Alan Gilzean's strike partner (over 100 goals in just under 300 games for them). He was actually Dundee's top scorer three years in a row 1958, 1959, qnd 1960! He came to us in 1967 (I think) and scored 4 in 84 and looked totally clueless most of the time. He was moved from one position to another as Shankly tried to find somewhere in the team he wasn't entirely horrible. He failed.

Cousin was a Classics teacher (Latin and Greek) which was more than enough reason for me to dislike him. :grr:


Note: I stand corrected - Fyfe played 10 games, scored once; Scott played 38 games (THIRTY-EIGHT GAMES?????) and scored 4 times. I knew one of them was always in the freakin team.

Was Fyfe by any chance a Sick-note?

Did Scott not score 3 goals in his first 4 or 5 games then ONE in the next thirty-odd ?

[Hibercelona]

McNeil?!?!

As in Andy McNeil?

Cup winning goalie.

Shame he didn't work out at Hibs but wishing he never played for us is way off

The error he made at Tynecastle where he simply allowed the ball to bounce over him was worse than any Zibby mistake.

He deserves to be in that lineup for that mistake alone. Never mind being quite pish in general anyway.

As for being in the cup winning squad. I don't recall him really having anything to do in that game.

And he looked like something from The Rocky Horror Picture Show......omg i think i'm in a time warp (again).

That pair, Blair and Ally Scott should never have been near Easter Road. Not forgetting Bobby Torrance!

*****. I smell *****.
No Dino Zoff, but he did his bit that day and will have more medals and Scotland youth caps in his cabinet than you, me and most probably anyone else on this esteemed board.

Three cup winning sides in the puff of pretty much 100% of everyone on here and someone out of 33 of them shouldn't have played for Hibs.
Absolute ABSOLUTE ****ing baws.

[Iggy Pope]

Doddie, I am a mere 43 and have suffered comparatively more year on year, Miller years etc- at least you saw real quality!!!
Thoroughly enjoyed your vent though, real judging good to not so good instead of not very good yo worse.

Pwrsonally- being spiteful and forgetting any decent performance- Dave Beaumont for not breaking postie foster in the centre circle- only one team in that game that meant so much.

And Stuart Turnbull, The wrong ' Mark Caughey', Jonathan Johannson & definitely Butch Wilkins.

Edit- and definitely Zibbi and that fat tube of a goalie who took the grubbing at Tynie that I can not remember his name!!!


Simon Brown :wink:

Tony Craig is the fat tube you are looking for. Well ahead of Andy McNeill in the starting line up.

It's spellcheck I'm afraid. Think it's him the poster means though.
Don't remember simon brown getting too many gubbings there.

Aye,think it was the game when Mark Dempsie was marking big De Vries with Fenwick on the bench

[jacomo]

Zibi Malclownshoes

I've said it before and I'll say it again - mentioning Zibi ahead of Simon Brown in any "worst keeper" list is just wrong. Zibi wasn't very good but at least he tried... Simon Brown was unfit and patently couldn't give a f***.
