Best of luck wee man. A Hibby legend :agree:

[HibbyAndy]

Shame it looks like his last game was that horror tackle.

Awra best Ivan.Hibs legend :aok:

[The Sea-gull]

It all started very well for him up there and sure I read an interview with him stating how much he and his family was enjoying it. Things can change quickly though and there may be a good reason related to him or his wife's family as to why he wants to go back to NI.

I won't be the only one wondering if it has anything to do with his recent red card on the back of disciplinary problems earlier in the season. Get the impression Derek Adams isn't the easiest to get on with and could be a grudge holder where once you fall out with him that is it. You stay fallen out. Ivan is no shrinking violet either!

Anyway, who knows why. None of my business. What I do know is Ivan seems like a gent and a good hibby to boot.

[HibbyAndy]

Pretty sure Adams said Ivan was a total dedicated pro to work with when they were both at Easter rd.

Were they at ER together?

Adams left in May 2011 IIRC and Sproule would not have started training with Hibs until June 2011.

[Persevere80]

One of the most exciting players I got to watch at hibs, electric pace and bums of there seats. Shame about the final ball sometimes but not afraid to take on his man and gave us some memorable goals. Hibs hero. Got to speak to him a few times after games. Great guy. All the best Ivan.......

[Stax]

All the best to him, some of my best memories in recent times due to the wee fella.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

He is a big enough name now to pick up a place in one of the better sides in the NI league surely?

Pretty sure they were Ivan had a season and a half before leaving ans Adams picked him up in the Jan transfer his first season back.

Defo both at ER same time.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

All the best wee man

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

All the best Ivan, Hibs legend!

5 grand well spent by mowbray, absolute bargain. I might watch the 3-0 ibrox dvd :)

[Seveno]

I hope all goes well for Ivan. One of my favourite all time Hibs players.

Great wee player! Wasn't the best, but a persistent and effective attacking threat. Modern Hibee hero!

best of luck to ivan, it didn't quite work out the 2nd time around but it won't tarnish the great memories of him pumping 3 past the huns that day

[Sir David Gray]

Love the guy to bits.

Wish him well with whatever he chooses to do in the future.

Welcome back at Easter Road any time.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Thanks for the memories Ivan the last player to get folks off their seats on a regular basis.

He took our club to his heart and we took him into ours. He got Hibs.

Legend? History will decide but that game at Ibrox was stuff of legends.

Hell be telling his grandchildren a it that one.

[Dashing Bob S]

Great player, terrific human being. Wish him nothing but all the best. Yes, a true Hibernian legend.

[Pete]

Rudi skacel can brag all he wants but one thing will never change.

He shat it from Ivan!

Legend.

You're right. They might have met when Sproule was in discussions about a contract but Ivan wasn't a Hibs player second time around until Adams has left.

[3pm]

Had a house in NI for a while now. Bought it with a view to moving back once he had finished.

[Stantons Angel]

Sorry to hear that Ivan has left for home on personal and family reasons.

Just want to wish him the best of luck in whatever way he chooses to go.

He was an absolute gem of a guy and took Hibs to his heart and never forgot us.

Im sure he will find a club in the Northern Irish League or even down in Southern Ireland. Having watched a few of this leagues games

he will stand out like a sore thumb believe me!

Thanks for the memories Ivan and keep us Hibbies close to your heart.

[Bronson]

Hope it works out for him wherever he goes, one of my favourite ever hibs players. Will never forget the great memories he gave us, especially that hat trick at Castle Greyskull:greengrin

Plus he *****ing hates the hearts:aok:

All the best Ivan.

[hibsbollah]

You bought a house in Ireland just because Ivan might move back there one day? :shocked:

Now that's a fan:clapper:

[147lothian]

It was a mistake to let him go, capable of driving the team forward, well done to Mowbray for bringing him over, thanks for the memories Ivan

[Jonnyboy]

Good luck for the future Ivan and thanks for the memories :thumbsup:

[kaimendhibs]

Wishing Ivan all the best. An absolute gent and hibs legend

It'll make the 'just back' thread a bit more interesting!

[RIP Bestie]

Hope everything is alright for the wee man. Never the best player but gave us some good times and memories. Legendary status after Ibrox. Good luck Ivan

[Ronniekirk]

Great player, terrific human being. Wish him nothing but all the best. Yes, a true Hibernian legend.
Yes that iconic photo of him being lifted up In the air at ibrox with his arms outstretched In the hat trick game will live with me forever. He was also a legend for his u tube dance after we won the cup

[maturehibby]

Bring him back for the rest of the season - we need an impact player to come off the bench - non there just now and mind Beckham played till he was 38 and Giggs still going strong at 40 - Come on Terry you know it makes sense

This, a member of the family who seen the right path.

Great idea a bit of pace is what we're crying out for and he still has that.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Ivan was a prime example of how attitude and effort can overcome limited ability ... that and a fantastic turn of pace.

Always a Hibs legend for me. Like big Franck a player who had no ties to Hibs but took the club to his heart. He will always be welcome back at ER and thats not something you can say about every player we have had.

All the very best to him.

Terry won't go for sympathy and ex player Think we will move on from that Rod Petrie mentality Wonder why K T. Isn't even on Bench

[snooky]

One of the few players in the last decade that created any real excitement at ER, IMO.
Forever a favourite of mine.

[BoltonHibee]

5K, what an investment!! Hat trick against the Rangers at Ibrox, he should never have to pay for another drink around Leith.

Good luck wee man

[hihohibby]

A wee legend in my eyes. There was a real buzz when he got his head down and made his unpredictable but exciting way up that bye line. Good luck and thank you again, Ivan. You will always be welcome at Easter Road and any pub along the way.:cheers:
