Just seen on twitter that he's passed away. Sad news. Hopefully hibs can put out a message sending condolences but leave any silence to hearts at their next home game.

[Capt Mainwaring]

He was a very good player. Strong running right back. A Scotland international too.

[Biggie]

Wow, that was a surprise.....decent player, RIP

[iwasthere1972]

Terrific player in his day.

R.I.P.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Sad news. I wasn't aware he had been ill. Rest in Peace.

Might be wrong, but was he not diagnosed with some kind of cancer a while back, and then he seemed to be in remission?
Still a sad day though. RIP.

Sad news

[McIntosh]

Sad news, indeed. Also nearly our manager - offered the job twice.

Rip. A minutes applause would be suitable on Sunday.

This.:agree:

Rip. A minutes applause would be suitable on Sunday.

I think that would be a very good idea.

[ALF TUPPER]

Rip. A minutes applause would be suitable on Sunday.

I would like to see this happen.

[fat freddy]

Sad to hear this...He often got on the same bus as me in the morning with John Greig. They would catch the number 26 that i travelled to school on and jump off at Haymarket to catch the train to Glasgow for training. As others have said, a true gent. R.I.P.

[Hibby70]

Gave him abuse once when he was playing Broomieknowe golf course next to the park we played football in as kids. He then proceeded to strike numerous golf balls at us at high speed!

[Biggie]

Rip. A minutes applause would be suitable on Sunday.

Matty, I'd like to think we're better than that...can we not be trusted with a minutes silence ?....let's show scottish fitba we're not like the old firm...he was an edinburgh guy.....

[Lucius Apuleius]

Sad and doleful news indeed. Respect to any person who has to fight that disease.

Sad news. Lived round the corner from me when I was growing up. John Greig had his shop in Bruntsfield place 2 mins away from Sandy's house. Both decent guys.

[heretoday]

If there is a tribute to SJ on Sunday it will be a healthy thing.

It could dampen down the furore, as it were.

It could dampen down the furore, as it were.? I still hate the gorgie mob. if any club would want to somehow claim righteousness, even in death it would be them.

[basehibby]

A great character of the Scottish game - a more than decent football player but it was his character that made him a standout and become a stalwart for two of our great rivals AND for Scotland. I'd join in a round of applause for him on Sun if it came to that - after that (and before) get stuck intae them!

[Calum68]

Well said.

I'd like to think we were better than that as well, just don't really fancy giving some tubes the chance to prove us wrong.

[Sylar]

Met him on a few occasions in the hospitality at Ibrox - he was ever-present in their Thornton lounge and a great ambassador for their club.

I had thought his treatment had been going well and he was on the mend - sadly not obviously.

RIP Sandy.

[lucky]

Met him a few times over the years,very nice guy. Arranged tickets for me for Man Utd. Sad loss hope hibs fans show their respects on Sunday

[GlenrothesHibee]

Sad news but no need for a minutes applause. He didn't represent Hibernian

[DoonTheSlope]

Dreadfully sad new the man was a football great. Remember him so well from the 1974 World Cup and beyond with Danny McGrain & Sandy the stand out full backs of the era. RIP Sandy

[jdships]

Met a Hibs contempory of SJ this morning and he passed this comment which I thought said a lot

" In all the years I knew him never ever heard him " dish the dirt" on any player "

A gentleman :thumbsup:

[heretoday]

If he had gone to Arsenal or Chelsea or whatever he would have been a big star. But they were different days. I think he once said Arthur Duncan was the toughest winger to mark because of his pace.

[Carheenlea]

Sad news but no need for a minutes applause. He didn't represent Hibernian

No, but he was a former player for our opponents, a Scotland International and an Edinburgh man.
A mark of respect before the match to Sandy Jardine would be wholly appropriate.

Your pain is over big man, R.I.P.

[maudette 11]

Only to be expected, surely, as he was a former Hearts man.

[Mikey09]

Sandy Jardine presented my first ever trophy to me in 1980. I had won player of the year for Musselburgh Windsor U11's and the things he said to me that day and advice he gave stuck with me throughout my life. Looking back on it he was a total gent and I'm sure will be sadly missed by his family, friends and everyone who had the pleasure of meeting him. Some modern day players would do well to take a leaf out his book regarding how they go about there business.... RIP Sandy...

[joe breezy]

Can't believe those who say that a mark of respect for Sandy Jardine wouldn't be appropriate.

Edinburgh man, great player who played for Scotland and Hearts and his son was a good Hibs lad.

RIP Sandy Jardine

[The Falcon]

I never met Sandy Jardine but my overriding memory of him is tarnished by the incident with Bobby Thompson when he feigned injury. Which is a pity as he was a good player and appears to be have been a decent guy from what people say.

[chrisski33]

Sad comment and not needed

[scuttle]

Neither did Tommy Burns but we did it as a club for him. Respect where its due in a footballing sense and as a decent man. R.I.P

[eastterrace]

was sandy jardine and henry smith not the reason that the passback rule was changed. :wink:

[Peevemor]

No disrespect intended, but I'm against the idea of minutes of silence/applause for ex footballers who had no link to Hibs. Why Sandy Jardine and not someone else? Who decides and where do we draw the line? In this case Hearts and The Rangers should hold tributes at their next home matches should they so wish.

With that said, RIP Sandy.

I agree. Football respects footballers

Maurice Backpass was it not. :greengrin

RIP Sandy an excellent footballer who represented all his teams including Scotland over 30 times with great athleticism and skill.
