Famous Hibees

[InterviewLoI]

So after my chance picture with Gok Wan yesterday (See my avatar) I was wondering what other celebrity Hibs fans are there? I know the obvious Proclaimers, Dougray Scott, Andy Murray, but have we any more? Pictures of them in their gear would be cool as well!

[WestEndHibee]

I've seen the front man Lewis from Admiral Fallow at a couple of games before. He had an interview recently going round the Stadium, with him singing SOL in the changing rooms. Seems to be a good hibby.

Only in the tv version. In the books it's Siobhan, his sidekick, that's a Hibee.

LOL, I'm sure I read the headline "Bob Marley was a Hibby" in the Mass Hibsteria Hibs Monthly fanzine many, many years ago. Might be wrong though!

That rings a bell. I'm sure he was photographed wearing a Hibs style top, without a badge etc. Probably a generic adidas effort of the 80's.

Malcolm Ross-formerly of Josef K and Orange Juice is a good Hibee and attends regularly at ER, eh Malcolm.

[Hibee Ryan]

Was the rumour not that Suddam Hussein used to enjoy watching hibs?

[big-mo]

Comedian, TV and Radio star Andrew Maxwell is most definitely a Hibee.

Is Sir Tom Farmer not considered to be famous? Surprised no one mentioned it.

[Fife-Hibee]

Dev Alahan from Corrie :-)

Also, as I've posted before, Dick Gaughan (folk singer)

[sadtom]

McGlashan fae Absolutely. (also the guy who actually plays the role) :-)
Did Dougray Scott not say that he and Ray Winston had agreed to adopt each others team. West Ham now being Dougray's english team and the Hibs being Ray's scottish team.
I'm sure Shirley Manson was a 'tic fan back in the day.

[Gettin' Auld]

Dougray Scott........If he hasn't already been mentioned

[Jonnyboy]

Anyone seen the ad running just now re ensuring you register to vote for next years referendum? First guy up is wearing Hibs colours :greengrin

Andrew Maxwell the Irish comuc us definitely a Hibs fan, mentioned it many times on stage

[hibbymick]

Jamie sives , actor from lochend, a very good Hibby.

I heard when he emerged from his hidey hole he said " I am saddam hussein president of iraq and I'm a hibby"

"Huv we won the cup yet?" was his next question, I believe.

[erin go bragh]

Did Dougray Scott no give Tom Cruise a Hibs top when the filmed mission impossible ?

Ggtth

[Rivers Cuomo]

Took him out to watch Hibs v Rangers (whoever they were) IIRC

[sadtom]

Russell Brand seems to have the same arrangement with Irvine Welsh.

Good to think that Dougray is doing some 'missionary' work on behalf of Hibs.
Though you'd have to say it's a tad foolhardy and downright risky taking up a 'missionary position' in the vicinity of Russell Brand. :-)

[LancashireHibby]

Bill Hicks went to see Hibs beat Rangers at ER when he performed in Edinburgh, according to Radio Forth interview that might still be online somrwhere. That makes him a Hibee.

He's changed then. He's from Cardenden so has local empathy for Pars but Hibs were team he favoured in Edinburgh. I remember him talking about his little boy, who has a horrible disease & stating, ( I paraphrase ) It breaks your heart to think you'll never see him run out at Easter Road. I've never at any time heard him say anything positive about Yams.

[Blackhall Hibby]

Jonny Maconie, the male nurse in Holby City had a Hibs badge on in one of the episodes last year. And talked about Hibs to a Liverpool supporting patient. The actor who pays him is Michael Thomson from Edinburgh, so he probably is a Hibs supporter too!:thumbsup:

[Phil D. Rolls]

Russell Brand Gok Wan:embarrass - If there are two more up their own ar5es people than these two I have yet to see or hear them. Glad they are not real Hibbies, more a pair of - ( ) fill in as you see fit.

Saw him in the Royal Oak (hardly a posers hang out) just after Katie Perry had given him the KB. He looked like a man that had been kicked in the balls with a JCB.

Speaks a lot of sense on a lot of issues, but seems like an OK bloke really.

[Phil D. Rolls]

That rings a bell. I'm sure he was photographed wearing a Hibs style top, without a badge etc. Probably a generic adidas effort of the 80's.

Malcolm Ross-formerly of Josef K and Orange Juice is a good Hibee and attends regularly at ER, eh Malcolm.

Having died in 1980, that story is maybe a tad inaccurate. We were wearing Bukta, then Umbro that year. Maybe it was Ziggy Marley with the Hibs top?

[Scott Allan Key]

:agree: Listen from 2:50


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVV8ijnU9iQ

Just listened to this and done some stat search. We beat CELTIC 2-1, but at Parkhead May 1992. My mistake. It wasnae during the festival but a UK tour. He must of been in Glasgow before Edinburgh. I was at his Queens Hall gig on May 4th. We beat Celtic on Saturday 2nd. His first 'soccer' game. Would you support the losing Lesser Greens? There is a picture of him outside Parkhead on Frankie Boyle's twitter feed. Not only did they take our players, our strip, our legacy, they try and claim Bill Hicks too. Par for the course!

[superfurryhibby]

Memory's not what it was. I think it was the Ziggster, pictured on a Hibs Monthly cover?

Somebody mentioned Dick Gaughan, the Leith songmeister. I remember reading an interview with Dick and he talked very fondly of his Leith origins and love for the Hibees. Said it was his life ambition to see us lifting the ******** ***. For anyone who hasn't heard Dick's distinctive style, try "Erin ga Bragh" from a "Handful of Earth". A powerful story which relates the kind of vibes that were around Edinburgh in the 19th century. The irony of the song is that the protagonist is not even Irish, he's a Gael from Argyll. Doesnae stop the polis from giving him it tight, although he gets payback big time.

How depressing that bill hicks has seen us win at parkhead as many times as I have! He would love watching our passing style now though. Back and to the left, back and to the left.

I also like how he says I saw y'all win amd the radio presenter says it was a great result for the Edinburgh team... as it meant hearts qualified for europe!! Bawbag!!

Having to listen them for 20 plus minutes to find out one of my heroes had to my surprise seen Hibs play, I came to that conclusion very quickly! As he said, 'You're not people, you're disc jockeys!'.

Sorry aye Will Ferrell. Sure there was a thread mentioning it

Gordon Smart interviewed him for his Biz page in the sun and chucked a Hibs scarf roond his neck and told him to say "@#$% the Hearts". Or something like that ;-)

[Phil D. Rolls]

Well it's not that big a galaxy, but better than the Yams. I remember a similar thread on KB a few years ago. About 4 posts in they were down to the CEO of HBOS.

Didn't know what was sadder, their lack of showbiz fans, or the fact that in Yam Land, the CEO of a bank counted as a celebrity. What dull and conformist suburban lives they seem to live.
