Hibs' Starting XI's by Decade

[TheFamous1875]

Just a wee fun thread away from the serious anticipation of our new manager (whoever he may be! ;) ) where we can pick and discuss our ideal starting XI's by decade. Since I'm not a pup, I'll start mines in the 90s (which I don't mind that well).

1990s:

Goram.

Sauzee. Hunter. Mitchell.

O'Neil. McGinley. Collins. McAllister.

Latapy.

Jackson. Wright.

Subs:
Leighton.
Hughes.
McLeod.
Harper.
Weir.
Mixu.
K. Miller.
W. Miller.


2000s:

Andersson.

Whittaker. Sauzee. Jones. Murphy.

Jack. Thomson.
Latapy.

Brown. Fletcher. Riordan.

Subs:
Colgan.
O'Neil.
Laursen.
O'Connor.
Stokes.
Shiels.
Zemmama.
Sproule.


I'll probably change my choices over time (part of the fun), but these are my choices when I first thought this up. All open to discuss, and I can't wait to see some older posters choices!

Knock yourself out! :agree: My mind goes blank during CC, but turns out we still had Stokes, Riordan, Ian Murray, Zemmama, and Hogg for the 2010 New Year Derby.

I think even Calderwood himself gets that.

yeah fair enough, when I thought about it i struggled.

If we're allowed to use those players it's alot easier though

1970's

Jim Herriot
John Brownlie
Erich Schaedler
Pat Stanton
Jim Black
John Blackley
Alex Edwards
Jimmy O'Rourke
Alan Gordon
Alex Cropley

I couldn't break up the best team I've ever had the pleasure of watching so it's the Tornadoes always for me. As an alternative though I wonder how we would have got on with this team? :

Gordon Marshall
Bobby Smith
Chris Shevlane
Jackie McNamara
Craig Paterson
Des Bremner
Ralph Callachan
Ally McLeod
Joe Baker
George Best
Joe McBride

The 70s team speaks for itself. If there was to be any change then it would either be at goalkeeper or centre half. I was brought up with this team and they were a pleasure to watch. I just dare anyone to mention Joe Harper :grr:

:agree: a better keeper and centre half would have seen the Tornadoes win more honours.

Harper was an odious little 💩

Get rid of Luna (liked him, but never a 'team of the decade' player and certainly not as a midfielder), put Latapy in the middle, Brown on the right and Zitelli on the left. Oh and Doumbe for Jones, Andersson for Stack.

Winner.

[TheFamous1875]

Out of interest, how did the 60s teams line up??
