Have you seen more than a handful of games?

Trakys only played about 3 times and a couple of those he had brilliant all round centre forward performances.

Obviously wasnt fit and didn't play much but you statement is crazy!

I think the only thing that this thread shows is that folk see players differently, my only guess is that peoples worst 11's are a barometer of when they stopped watching Hibs.

There are IMO at least half a dozen players named from earlier on that are nowhere near worst 11 material.

IMO Gatheussi, Murdock, Wiss, Trakys, McPake, Kerr, Chisholm & Morrow are nowhere near the worst 11 hibs players I have seen.

I always had a bit of a soft spot for Konte as well, probably because by comparison to what was around him at the time he was like a fish out of water, but he still would not make my worst ever 11.

After he wasn't fighting for his contract when on loan he did **** all for us. Awful positioning. Don't understand the love in for him because otherwise he was as big a wage thief as any of the scapegoats that had the accusation aimed at them.

Glad to see the back of him in a Hibs shirt.

If it wasn't for him we'd have went down in the 2011/12 season. The guy has some demons with injuries but by no means a bad player.

At least two of the goals in the cup final should have been prevented by him. Fragile as anything, lost us the derby single handedly that saw Pat Fenlon out the door, cost us countless goals with piss poor defending - as bad as I've seen. If you're having Sean O'Hanlon in the list (who in the odd game showed what he can do - against the sheep at Pittodrie springs to mind) then he falls right into the same catagory with probably just as many if not more clangers.

Minging. Special mention to Agogo who should really be in there too. It would have been horrible to think that when he was playing for us that it was about to get even worse as we were yet to see Vine, Kuqi and James Collins.

Mullen was arguably worse for us than Hart too, but he gets away with it because he was just a kid who was horribly hung out to dry by Fenlon.

Certainly plenty to choose from.

23-11-2014, 09:56 PM
What's really scary about this thread is that apart from a few exceptions, every one of the players mentioned is deservedly in the worst XI.
How many players are there in total? 20-25?
That's one hellova total of huddies for one team to sign within 13 years.
BTW, how many exceptionally good signings were there in comparison?

wouldn't put him in the worst team 11 ever but he seemed to think that after his goal at tynie he had made it. Scored a great goal in an important game but did absolutely nothing other than that. Seemed to think he was a bit of a big shot after that.

Think we got him on a trial of sorts. Can't remember if it was his debut for us but he played against Celtc, came on as a sub I think. We lost 3-1 but it was a case of conceding two in the first first ten minutes then we went on to play tremendously, some of the best football I've seen us play in recent years. Thicot played centre midfield and was outstanding although in part we benefitted from them playing a formation that focused on getting the ball out wide to either flank, whereas Mixu had us working it through the middle via Bamba and Thicot, with Rankin doing the legwork.

Rosa had a cracking chance when he came on, peeled away from his man and shot from really far out, hit the bar or post IIRC, Boruc was nowhere. He looked sharp and technically very good, attacking midfielder kind of role, but just seemed to fade out of things at ER.

But your qualification was captaining a team to relegation gets him in. He was miles away from being our worst performer last year.

I agree with Vine but Collins definitely is not the worst CF since the turn of the millennium.

The amount of chances he missed in big games contributed significantly to us eventually being relegated. He isn't perhaps the worst technically but he definitely had one of the worst impacts.

As above, he may have scored in a friendly match but he never scored a competitive goal for the Hibs first team.

Don't see how it's unfair. What is the whole point of this thread??

Ross Campbell was so ineffectual it was untrue. I gather he was a relative youngster, but I knew he would never make it in any way, shape or form as a pro footballer. He was also given a fair few starts.

The fact he has completely dropped out the game suggests that he was not up to scratch.

And no-one mentioned ross caldwell, so stop getting your knickers in a twist about him!

Couple of mentions for Ross Chisholm so far. I didn't think he was anywhere near the worst of Hibs players. I quite liked him but prepared to acknowledge he wasn't able to make it at the level required.

Ross Chisholm stat - his win percentage for games he played in for Hibs is higher than the win percentages as managed by Terry Butcher, Pat Fenlon, Colin Calderwood, John Hughes and Mixu Paataleinen :cb

This is based mostly on their (lack of) ability I haven't used any players who were probably decent ability wise but just didn't give a jot. Players such as Soares, Haynes, Doherty etc.

Had a bit of a soft spot for big Konte too, will never forget the crowd willing him to score in the 7-0 game against Livi when he came on, his back heel that produced a wonder save from McKenzie that was then lashed in by Fletcher. Looked like the ground was gonna swallow him up afterwards.

The single worst hibs player ever is an always will be Zibi. He will never be surpassed. The man is an absolute dick.

I will never forgive him for WAVING at the merricks after he'd gifted them another goal in a derby.

No one comes close.

Nah, we've had worse. Smith, for example. At least Zibi tried, albeit he wasn't good enough.

Most of the names of the totally garbage so called players have already been quoted by previous posters, so I'm not even going to try to add to that long and frankly embarrassing list.

All I would add is that this is probably why Pat Stanton came out and asked the question... "who thought these players were ever good enough to play for Hibs"?

Maybe people running things at the club over a number of years knew most of these players weren't good enough. But they signed them anyway because they were the cheap option, or all the club was either able, or prepared, to afford?

I don't suppose we will ever know now.

Depends what your criteria is. Someone who scored 10+ plus goals for Hibs has probably contributed enough not to warrant a mention here, as does a matchwinner v Hearts. Kuqi still never did a single thing of note in a Hibs game, so goes down as a waste of time as player regardless of how good he was at training.

Vine had far more game time than Kuqi did yet managed the same amount of goals. I don't recall vine doing anything at all during his time at Hibs apart from have a massive stupid beard. Worst player to wear the famous number 9 jersey.
Collins did nothing either apart from run about like a headless chicken.
Both of these guys are ahead of Kuqi for me for those reasons.

There probably were strikers who were marginally worse and I mentioned them on my list on the No Thanks thread.

That doesn't mean that Kuqi shouldn't be considered as one of the worst players we've signed since 2000 though.

Collins was poor for us but at least he scored in a win against Hearts which is more than can be said for Kuqi.

I have no case for the defence as far as Rowan Vine's concerned. He was one of the most pointless signings we've made in my lifetime.

What's really scary about this thread is that apart from a few exceptions, every one of the players mentioned is deservedly in the worst XI.
How many players are there in total? 20-25?
That's one hellova total of huddies for one team to sign within 13 years.
BTW, how many exceptionally good signings were there in comparison?

Arguably the following have all been somewhere between good and exceptionally good:

2000 Laursen, Fenwick, John O'Neill, Gary Smith, Agathe, Zitelli
2001 De La Cruz, Paco Luna, Brewster, Doumbe
2002 Paatelainen (re-signed)
2003 Dobbie, Glass
2004 Caldwell, Beuzelin, Sheils, Murphy
2005 Hogg, Sproule
2006 Stewart, Killen, Rob Jones, Benjelloun, Zemmama
2007 Clayton Donaldson
2008 John Rankin, Riordan (re-signed)
2009 Stack, Stokes, Liam Miller, Szamotulski
2010 ?
2011 O'Connor (re-signed), Vaz-Te (loan), Griffiths (loan), Sproule (re-signed)
2012 Doyle, McPake, Williams
2013 Scott Robertson, Liam Craig
2014 Gray, El-Alagui, Fontaine, Malonga, Allan, Oxley (loan), McGeouch (loan)

Spot the periods during which our team declined. In the six year period between 2007 to summer 2013 only 13 players signed that could be described in any way as a success - and quite a few of those were on short-term deals only or effectively past it. This was during a period when our expenditure on playing staff was broadly as good as anything outside the Old Firm and Hearts.

IMO it just highlights the key to modern-day success in management is being able to spot a player. The signings that Stubbs has made give me huge encouragement - especially when the pattern above is taken into account and you look at what the likes of McInnes has been able to do at Aberdeen.

Malkowski though, he'd get my vote for worst Hibs player of the millennium

Zibi in my opinion was never the best keeper i have seen in a Hibs jersey, but he's nowhere near the worst either. He just seemed to keep his biggest howlers for them buggers, and that sways some folks minds again in my opinion towards him.

I also don't think Doherty or Kujabi were that bad but they chose to have their worst performance for Hibs at the worst possible moment. Even then, they were hung out to dry by our formation on the day. But they'd both had a few decent performances in the second part of that season and they were an improvement on who we had prior to them arriving.

And if Doherty hadn't acted like such a plum after "that" game he'd be nowhere near these lists.

The problem he had was so many of his mistakes were high profile. The SC semi final defeat to them is an example, he actually made 3 or 4 top saves in that game but the 2 horrific mistakes mean everyone forgets the saves. He also had a very good game in the first 0-3 at Ibrox. The waving at the Hearts fans after dropping that free kick in what I think was his final appearance for us was pretty much unforgivable though.

I'd say that all round Simon Brown was a poorer goalkeeper than Zibi, Graeme Smith is another who could fall into that category as well.

Zarabi was signed by Mixu in January 2008 and played eight times for us that season.

He was poor, although in fairness to him I think his departure came about due to the fact that his wife and young child were refused visas to come and stay with him in Scotland.

That situation may explain why he was so poor. He was a full internationalist for Algeria up until he signed for us so he obviously had something about him.

He didn't ever really get going. With more games and a stable home environment he might have turned it around. Scotland may have been a bit of a culture shock and it'salways a bit of a shame that players sometimes don't get time to turn it around. Mixu's team were getting a fair bit of grief at the time too (even though things would get a lot worse in the years to come).

He certainly had a decent cv and I can't imagine that he'd have got to mix in the circles shown in the picture above if he was a total huddy.

He certainly didn't show us much in his time here though, unfortunately.

Was there not a rumour at the time that Mixu had signed the wrong Zarabi? He thought it was his brother that he had previously managed in Finland or something along those lines.

That's a bit OTT, IMHO. The guy played through the pain barrier (and against medical advice, so we're led to believe), rightly or wrongly, for the team. So, to accuse him of being a "wage thief" is out of order. There was general mumping of gums amongst the support when it appeared he WAS in fact match fit and TB wasn't playing him.

Also, Hibs signed him knowing of his pre-existing injury so whose fault was it that he had a limited number of appearances?

I'd agree with this. It happened so bloody often though, and the derbies mean a lot to us so he leapfrogs a few inferior keepers as a result (Smith for one).

I also don't think Doherty or Kujabi were that bad but they chose to have their worst performance for Hibs at the worst possible moment. Even then, they were hung out to dry by our formation on the day. But they'd both had a few decent performances in the second part of that season and they were an improvement on who we had prior to them arriving.

And if Doherty hadn't acted like such a plum after "that" game he'd be nowhere near these lists.

To be fair I never really liked Doherty, always prefered Francombe (think that was his name) but he never got nearly the chance he should have. Regarding Kujabi I find it a shame to be honest. I thought him at left back was always suspect to say the least, Fenlon should have spotted that and adapted. I always thought he would have made a decent LM player. We needed a scapegoat after that final and because of that challenge he was easy pickings.

McPake should not get a mention on this page. He was amazing for us. He dipped in form but he would have got back to his best given the chance.

McPake should be nowhere near this thread. Don't think Towell should either tbh.

Matt Doherty was an ALRIGHT player, not great by any stretch of the imagination but certainly not the worst. However, what got me with him with just his sheer arrogance and "i'm far too big for this club" attitude. His comments after the 2012 final about "not giving a ****" basically sums up it. Just a billy big baws with a very over inflated ego. Another waste of space that couldn't give a ****, subjected us to one of the most humiliating results in our history, collected his wage packet and ****ed off out the door without a care in the world.

Alan O'Brien - well where do I even begin. When we signed him there was so much hype surrounding him, how he was supposidly faster and better than Sproule etc. What a complete nightmare of a signing! Definitly up there with the worst.

Rowan Vine - awful, couldn't hit a barn door, dreadful dreadful player

Malkowski - need I say more
