The class of 2004

[KeithTheHibby]

Just Brown, Whittaker and Fletch to return. What's the chances of that happening in the future?


It has been pleasing that the likes of GOC, Riordan, Ian Murray, Ivan and KT never forgot the club that gave them the opportunity and returned to Hibs.
Probably unheard of to see so many of a golden generation to return. Anyway it's good to reminisce about that team.

I thing SB might return one day. No sure about the other two.

Yeah, I think he said he would like to come back in an interview (might be a false memory though).

Your correct. Said that in an interview leading up to the Hibs vs Celtic game.

Hope none return
It has been proved time and time again it mostly doesn't work
Why not just accept the pleasure we had when they were here and MOVE ON and wait for the next "crop" ? :flag:

Appreciate what you are saying and for the main you are correct. My point was perhaps the affection those players had for Hibs and why that was the main reason for returning as they all returned to a much weaker team.

Never look back. It does not work. GOC, DR &KT proved that. Just remember their legacy of a new stand and a training ground. Let us hope the class of 2014 wil be just as successful.

In all fairness though DR and GOC were top scorers when they came back, so worked in a way...

So if Hibs make an announcement today that Scott Brown is returning this season, you'll hand your Season Ticket back in disgust?


:wink:

Fair point !
However " affection" doesn't win matches .We seriously need fresh blood if we are going to be a top three SPL club :flag:

Sorry about that but at 82+ have lost my sense of humour due to supporting Hibs for 74 years :greengrin

All of the players who have returned have returned to significantly poorer teams than the ones they left which has seriously affected the way they have been able to make an impact on the park.

I thought Riordan did fine on his return, G O'C started well but tailed off, Ivan played in Calderwood's calamitous side and what could we really have expected of KT last year? Murray offered plenty, again, in several positions when he came back. So for all they weren't as good as they were first time round (and it would have been very difficult for them to have been) they have been far from the worst signings we have made in recent years.

I'd love to see the 3 mentioned come back after successful careers elsewhere - INTO A GOOD HIBS TEAM - and provide the kind of guidance to our youngsters that they need from senior players around a club and encourage them to pick up the good habits that they have done to make a career like they have.

SW would like to finish his career with us once he moves back up the road. Hopefully we are back where we belong by that point
