Was Vine The Worst Player Ever To Play For Hibs?

[judas]

For me, possibly the biggest wage thief and talentless 'player' I have seen in my 30 years supporting the club.

[easty]

no.

[Weststandwanab]

No.

[Richibee]

For me, possibly the biggest wage thief and talentless 'player' I have seen in my 30 years supporting the club.

nothing like the worst

[eastterrace]

probably but theres a big list to pick from.

[Dibben]

Very harsh. No.

[Winston Ingram]

For me, possibly the biggest wage thief and talentless 'player' I have seen in my 30 years supporting the club.

Did you just start watching Hibs this season?:confused:

[hibees 7062]

He left his motorbike up here :wink:

[cabbageandribs1875]

no...fact

[Hibercelona]

Kuqi was worse.

[Andy74]

For me, possibly the biggest wage thief and talentless 'player' I have seen in my 30 years supporting the club.

Behave.

[Ozyhibby]

No and I hate the term 'wage thief'.
Very Yamish.

[craigmounthibby]

Not a chance. Fenlon probably signed him because he had a blinder for st Johnstone against us last Feb, when we lost 3-1.

I can think of dozens of others for this accolade, before suggesting Vine.

[Saorsa]

For me, possibly the biggest wage thief and talentless 'player' I have seen in my 30 years supporting the club.Were you sleeping for a lot of it? I ken some of it was pretty boring.

And tae answer the question in the thread title, no!

[LancsHibs]

No it didn't work out but far from the worst!

[sixtwo]

No. Hurtado, pa kujabi, kuqi, Brian Hamilton, zibby, and Ray Wilkins were all worse in a hibs top.

[kaimendhibs]

Not for me. Didn't work for him but mibbe do a job elsewhere.

Ridiculous thread.

[dmc1875]

Not even close to the worst player to play for Hibs. The boy has talent that has been seen enough over the last 10 or so years. Desire is the biggest problem I think. He just didn't hit it off here.

[Badabing]

He'll soon be forgotten, our real nightmares live in the memory for years.

[SurferRosa]

Someone just has to mention Alan O Brien and i`ve got to reach for the Prozac.

[Onion]

No, but probably top 10. Blame those who thought there was a player in there, or couldn't motivate him to one decent performance.

[AndySOL1875]

Simon Brown

[TRC]

Matt thornhill.

[Green Reaper]

No, Wilkins for me, deplorable

[Jonnyboy]

No

[kaimendhibs]

Absolutely loads worse! Can think of many but will just throw Edwin de graff into the mix

[NAE NOOKIE]

Sorry mate ..... a totally unfair thread on a player who barely kicked a ball for us. He was a fixture at St J and seemed to do OK for them. It just didnt work out for him and I hope he goes elsewhere and gets things back on track.

Now if your thread had been 'did he have the worst beard ever at Hibs' I would be agreeing with you.

[Aldo]

Nope not by a long way.

[kaimendhibs]

Joe harpers beard caused a much bigger stink!

[Hibbyradge]

No.

Vine had 4 assists against Stranraer as was pointed out to me after I slagged him off for being pants!

Konte is the worst player I've seen who got a regular gsme.

[Amit]

Someone just has to mention Alan O Brien and i`ve got to reach for the Prozac.

Definitely. He was an imposter. Never a footballer. Worst I've ever seen.

Konte scored the goal that got us into Europe! Plus his header hit the post at Tynie and Deano smashed in the winner. The Mali Magician still contributed more than AOB.

He was a youth player who played for the 1st team, hardly bought in goods like Vine/Konte etc

Hurtardo was pants but better than Vine
Brian Hamilton worked hard and did some good unseen (don't laugh) work.
Ray Wilkins was about 60 years past his best but still had more to offer than Vine.

I can remember something good (even if one good move) that each of the above players contributed, but not with Vine.

Sorry guys. He is in my top 5 duds. Forget his performances for other clubs, he was a disgrace for us. 99% no perspiration and 1% no inspiration.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Not even close to being our worst! Not been great at all but 3/4 assists against Stranraer, a cracking assist through at Killie and he was the width of the post away from an absolute screamer away to Malmo. Best all round that he moves on as overall he has been very disappointing but worst ever?!? NAH

[Carheenlea]

Some players don't fit with certain clubs and unfortunately for Rowan Vine it just wasn't to be for him at Hibs. Sticking the boot into him when he has just been told he is surplus to requirements is just kicking the man while he is down.

Brian Hamilton worked hard and did some good unseen (don't laugh) work.

John, how can you saw Vine is/was worse than Hurtado?

[HibsNutter]

No. Hurtado, pa kujabi, kuqi, Brian Hamilton, zibby, and Ray Wilkins were all worse in a hibs top.

Thought Kujabi was half decent for us, just chose the wrong day to give the worst performance of his life and that's what people remember.

[StarMan10]

Absolute joke of a thread.

[scotiaf]

Very harsh, he's not set the heather alight but help assist a few goals.

He will go and do a decent job somewhere else

At least 20 players worse than him in the past 5 years

[Craig_in_Prague]

Right, how about the Goalie Trinity of Caig, Zibi and Brown?

Vine may have been fairly pish in most of the games he's played for us, but worst ever? Please.

Tom Soares

[jabis]

no for me,havn't read the thread,but R.V.always tried.

Played in three. One win, two draws

[tamig]

For me, possibly the biggest wage thief and talentless 'player' I have seen in my 30 years supporting the club.

Utter nonsense. A good player as he showed last season. Just didn't work out here unfortunately. There's been many a worse player than Rowan Vine at ER.

[tamig]

No. Hurtado, pa kujabi, kuqi, Brian Hamilton, zibby, and Ray Wilkins were all worse in a hibs top.

Garbage also. Kujabi has been tainted because of his antics in that game. Brian Hamilton did a tremendous job alongside Pat McGinlay for us. I'll give you the others though.

[essexhibee]

Looking at some of these players mentioned here its really depressing to think how a lot of them have come to the club during my years supporting (only 20) :greengrin:greengrin.

scored a couple of goals against killie at rugby park, he actually had a bit of skill about him imo, far FAR worse players above him in the list surely

By far the worst player ever to wear a hibs strip is Ally Brazil he should have taken up drivin buses years ago.

Absolutely. Truly honking

How bad was vine in that derby game? Didn't see the match (luckily) due to a uni away game.

How about Jarko Wiss?

Can't believe Colin Murdoch hasn't been mentioned yet....

[patch1875]

I've seen Zibi and brown mentioned.,, doesn't anyone fancy naming Ollie the goalie?

Truly awful keeper or could go for ma-kalamity... Geez our luck with keepers post Rough, Goram, Budgie (legend) and big bandy has generally been honking!!!!!

But Vine? Sorry but no. Think he'll Probo make a decent, honest living when he settles in somewhere else.

There are probably worse, but he has always stuck in my head as being one of the worst ever. He actually annoys me! haha

Glad to see someone else has a similar opinion of Brian Hamilton, thought he was very underrated.

Worst keeper I've seen in a Hibs jersey was Zibi and for an outfield player I remember Jamie McQuilken being absolutely honking.

[allezsauzee]

For me, possibly the biggest wage thief and talentless 'player' I have seen in my 30 years supporting the club.

Clearly you have missed a lot of games during those 30 years!

[portycabbage]

Konte scored the goal that got us into Europe! Plus his header hit the post at Tynie and Deano smashed in the winner. The Mali Magician still contributed more than AOB.

Konte's attempt at an overhead kick in the 7-0 Livingston game was also a hilarious surprise! I think one of the most frustrating things about players like him is they have attributes they seem clueless about how to use - like being well over 6ft and unable to head a ball, or having pace like AOB (the SPL's fastest Sh***bag!) but not being able to use it to beat anyone or find space to receive the ball.

Also think Paul Holsgrove and Graeme Smith deserve mentions.

[Seekyit]

Zarabi

Yep. He was awful. 22 caps for Algeria, who have never been brilliant I know, but even so..

[Vault Boy]

Nope, not even the worst in the last year or two, he really hasn't had much of a chance but showed enough moments of decent quality at St Johnstone to display some level of talent. (Not that I want him to stay, however.)

[Vault Boy]

Paul dalgleish

Scored a peach to win a game late on against Kilmarnock at Easter Road, the first Hibs game I went to. Leave Paul alone! :greengrin

[hibees 7062]

The Miller brothers

[Paisley Hibby]

For me, possibly the biggest wage thief and talentless 'player' I have seen in my 30 years supporting the club.

Not even close to being the worst!

[lucky]

Not even the worst player at the club just now.

[cleanyman]

He's up there anyway

Saints fans couldn't wait to get rid of him last year.

[O'Rourke3]

Opinions eh? Vine isn't the worst player this season let alone ever. There was another post somewhere where the poster was making comment about the fact that Thomson never gave the ball to Collins as he clearly didn't rate him. when Vine came on the pitch he was Thompson's most likely out ball - which must mean that he at least rated him. Just not working out for him that's all. Terrible beard though :agree:.

I'm in the Brian Hamilton got poor press camp too. The year he broke his leg McGinlay's goals all but dried up as he then had to cover for the missing Hamilton. I put that down to the fact a lot of fans were on Millers back early and Hamilton was usually about first on the team sheet and had followed him from StM. Couldn't then and can't now get my head round fans booing when the team is announced because the scapegoat is playing.

Roddy MacDonald is up there as poorest keeper at ER too......

[Paisley Hibby]

My candidate for worst has to be Lillian Martin, a French full back signed by Sauzee. He was honestly the slowest player I have ever seen. Even Kuqi would have easily run past him. I think le god signed him as a player he had known maybe 10 years earlier but it was clearly a misjudgement. Played just the once for us and was never seen again.

[Ryan91]

I can think of Players that were far worse than Rowan Vine. Alan O'Brien is one who springs to mind, I always thought he might one day actually become a player for us - sadly that day never came, although I'm sure that there have been even poorer players than even AOB that have donned the Green and White

Don't be silly. We've had MUCH worse than him in my time.

Just think of some of Jim Duffy's signings, or John Collins' signings.

Or Bertie Auld's.

At least Vine didn't play very often, so he didn't do too much harm.

[OsloHibs]

No.

For goalies Zibi is, by a mile, the worst. He even pushes for the title of worst player overall.

For 'that' semi-final performance alone (I've never been as angry with an individual player's performance before or since) he would be up there. He was almost as equally *****e in every other game though.

[MoscowHibs]

A defo no. Ye didnae see Duncan Lambie then? Christ all bloody mighty,he was Gash,wi a capital G tae.

[Smartie]

Another vote for Jamie McQuilken here. Totally pish.

A bit off-topic here but the first team I watched regularly was Miller's Jackson, Wright, McAllister, O'Neill, McGinlay, Harper et al team. I remember thinking at the time that Graeme Mitchell was a wee bit average in that team.

After Rab Shannon, Jimmy Boco, David Elliot, Jamie McQuilken and Andy Dow all toiled at left-back in a short spell after I later came to appreciate that Mitchell was actually very decent.

And bettered only by Murphy and possibly Laursen since.


I may well be the only one but I'm a wee bit disappointed that Vine isn't going to at least get a chance in the new regime. Yes he has been pretty poor, but he has shown (albeit mainly against Stranraer) that his delivery into the box can be very good, and that seems to be something that Butcher and Malpas are very keen on.

[spike220]

Vine - not even close. For me there is only Matt Doherty, I never want to see him anywhere near our club ever again.

Strange to talk about a lack of respect and wishing St Johnston all the best before saying he is glad to be at a 'proper' football club.

It hasn't worked for him at Hibs but I could see him doing ok with a fresh start somewhere else. Don't think he's close to being our worst player but probably up there with those that have had it worse from the boo boys.

Just reading through this thread and I'm amazed that McQuilken's name didn't appear until the 110th post. I've been watching Hibs since 1970 and Jamie McQuilken is the most inept player I've ever seen in a Hibs jersey and by god there's been a few!!

Mitchell was a footballer of some quality. He struggled when Miller played himn centre mid though.

Worst ever nominees for me are Andy Watson (softest pro footballer ever, surely?), Peter Welsh, Bobby Flavell, Ally Scott, Miller brothers and everyone signed by Jim Duffy.

[Steve-O]

Jarko Wiss was the worst EVER. What's worse, some on this very website rated him. Absolutely ganting.

[bigwheel]

By far the worst player ever to wear a hibs strip is Ally Brazil he should have taken up drivin buses years ago.

Agree - terrible player (apart from his hat-trick against Celtic in that friendly which was unbelievable!)

[ekhibee]

Well well, another 'worst player to play for Hibs' thread. Although he was a fine player before he came to us, I was swinging towards Wilkins who was absolutely dreadful in every game he played for us. I don't agree with people who say Brian Hamilton was underrated, to me he just wasn't very good. Not the worst though. Another name from the past that some of the older posters might remember- Jim Blair. He gets my vote.

A top 10 is easier than a number 1! :)

Come on, Vine- no way. Absolutely the worst has to be Zibi. I still have nightmares about him..

[RIP]

I thought he was a bit of a style icon personally

Bald head and a beard is a good look on a man

Yes. He certainly had the worst beard worn any any Hibs player.

Pity he was actually rubbish.

He might become the best player in the Hearts team, if gorgie scamological reasoning works on the SPFL.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Anybody including Benny Brazil in their list of honking Hibs players obviously wasnt at the 1979 Scottish Cup final where Benny was the man of the match in the first game and never let himself down in the replays either that I can remember.

Not anywhere near the best footballer ever to pull on the famous shirt .......... but a hell of a long way from being the worst either.

[davieh]

vine - no way near the worst.


but can't believe that AOB is a candidate either...? i think it was as much his fee and pre-igning hype that made him so disappointing. can't remember the match, but he also played one blinder at ER - he was cheesing when subbed with the East singing 'there's only one Alan Obrien...'

while we're on the subject of crap Hibs players, who was that guy that the chairman went over to America to sign? It might have been late 80's, think he was Irish, I don't know if he even scored a goal for us. He wasn't the worst player but he was still crap.

AOB was absolutely rank and how he ever made it on to the park as a professional footballer is a puzzle to me. Even if he had signed on a free transfer he would still have been a dud.
However he is only one of many hams who have managed to find their way into a green and white shirt.
Duncan Lambie is one who comes to mind but my vote for worst goes to Andy Watson.
As a player he was honestly hard working but absolutely rank .
My son still harks back to a day at Celtic park when Andy was working as a " coach", warming up Andy Goram in goals before kick off. If a couple of crosses reached Goram you would be lucky. They were either short, over his head, wide or duffed along the ground.
Absolutely hopeless.

Mark Caughy, been named on page 1

Come on, Vine- no way. Absolutely the worst has to be Zibi. I still have nightmares about him..

Zibi was murder. Remember when we played Livi at Almondvale (possibly about November 2004) and Livi were leading 1-0 well into the second half. Livi got a corner and Zibi ran with the ball and placed it ready for them to take the corner. They took it quickly while Zibi was running back to our goal. Luckily they didn't score. :greengrin

Fortunately we scored two late goals and won 2-1.

He was in the NI 86 World Cup squad and he was signed at their training camp. Think he was an RUC policeman at the time. Mark Caughey. He went to Hamilton after us and banged in a few goals there.

If not for one game vs Aberdeen O'Hanlon would be up there. Looked lost and seriously lightweight at all times and cost us a barrowload of goals.

I've seen Zibi and brown mentioned.,, doesn't anyone fancy naming Ollie the goalie?

Truly awful keeper or could go for ma-kalamity... Geez our luck with keepers post Rough, Goram, Budgie (legend) and big bandy has generally been honking!!!!!

But Vine? Sorry but no. Think he'll Probo make a decent, honest living when he settles in somewhere else.

I'll never forget the cock-up Gottskalsson made against DU in the cup at Tannadice, not least because it was a game we should have won comfortably. If it's purely the worst goalie we're talking about though, I'd probably go for Brown. Worst goalkeeping coach- easy- Gordon Marshall.

[allezsauzee]

Vine isn't even the worst player at ER at the moment never mind ever. He's contributed much more than Zoubir who just isn't a footballer and yet rarely have I seen or heard a word said against Zouby

[HFCLEGENDS]

Never

[One Day Soon]

naw the goalie olie gotskallson ,he was mince . never knew he got jailed as well for robbery

What with this post and your earlier one about Jim Blair and drug deals I think you have mixed up the Worst Player Ever to Play For Hibs thread with a Most Criminal Player Ever To Play For Hibs thread that no-one has started yet.

Zibi,peace out
