Deeks to livi or maybe East Fife ?

[The_Horde]

Heard he scored 2 in a bounce game last week and Burchills keen to sort him a deal.

Hope he can get back playing and scoring regularly. Except against us of course..

Can't see that being a success as he's not played regularly for too long.

If, and it's a massive if, he could get fully fit he would still do a job for lower league teams. But then we said that when he went to Bristol Rovers, and then Alloa and then Brechin City...

Hibs legend though, so I hope he proves me wrong.

[hibby6270]

OK. Who's going to be the first to suggest it?
I'm steering clear of the backlash tee-hee :greengrin

Hope he destroys the huns next season in the championship :-) LEGEND

[Wilson]

He was too good to be lost to the game so young. I hope it works out. Nobody can dispute his scoring contribution for us.

[Centre Hawf]

Would love to be able to welcome him back to Easter Road when Livi next come. As long as he doesn't score a winner or equaliser against us that is.

I hope he proves us wrong as well, but I made a right tit of myself talking him up and telling a bunch of Bristol Rovers fans I know that he would score goals for fun for them and that he was a fantastic signing..three months later..12 appearances later and no goals later I looked a bit of an idiot.

Its a shame he never had the career he should have had. A fantastic talent that wasted his potential warming the bench for celtic. Hopefully he can get himself back fit again and playing regular football.

I could watch that chip over Forster for hours on end.

I could watch that chip over Forster for hours on end.

The left footed half volley into the bottom right against Celtic a couple back from that one is such a good goal as well.

He should still be here. 😞

[superfurryhibby]

Good luck to Deek. Given the length of time he hasn't played, I doubt he will get back into football, but I hope for his sake that he can.

[Sean1875]

god I miss him.

[Jones28]

What a talented boy he was.

I wish it weren't so but I just can't see him playing football at this level again.

[rosco-hibee]

That montage gave me goosebumps, love watching Riordan doing what he does best. I was in the Celtic end for that finish over Forster, and it took all my will power not to jump about like a lunatic.

Riordan isn't finished yet, but what he needs is to get the head down, work hard on fitness, but I think most of all to get the love of the game back. Natural talent like he has doesn't just disappear...

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

What a montage. Incredible. His free kicks were a thing of beauty. Such a legend. Just a shame that at 31 he should be leading our line still and scoring for fun in this league we're in

God,THAT is an absolute joy to watch - 100% pure-class !!

And yet it's also so heart-wrenching that he never quite reached the levels his God-given talent deserved - tragic that his head could never cope with what his feet had !!. And as for Septic - yet again, they stole another young Scottish-talent and snuffed it out in case another team (and at that time, it was US !!) actually DID provide the 'competition' they constantly moan our game doesn't give them !!

Hmm, didnt have anything to do with Saint Tony of Mowbray did it?

After all, he needed time to "evaluate" our top scorer and best player, putting the contract offer on hold and the rest is history.

I wish Riordan all the best. You will struggle to find a better goalscorer who is also a Hibs fan AND who despises the yams playing today.:aok:

Mowbray was just in the door and quite rightly wanted to evaluate the squad before his budget was used.
He then decided he did want the player but said player decided against it.

But i'm only 38:wink:

Left foot , Right foot it didn't matter to Riordan..2 yards or 30 yards it was so easy for him.

One particular goal that will stand out for me apart from every other goal was against Hearts at Easter rd where he burst it from FULLY 30 yards against Hearts at the away end where 11 million goalkeeper Craig Gordon got NOWHERE near it. Pick it out!

Over 100 goals for Hibs in my lifetime? Has to go down as the best ever hibs player in MY lifetime.

After recent posite stories about how he was doing a lot better the most recent incident when he ran into the back of a Hearse with his car made me wonder how he was doing . If true there is no where else for him to go you would think , really is a waste of talent

He did, got a assist for the second goal, looked sharp and was hacked down as he was through on goal and clear red card but ref showed yellow.

Good to see them both back in the game. If they had both made better decisions they would have gone much further but what happened happened, just nice to see them back doing what they love and what they are good at. O'Conner should perhaps take up a role advising young players to stay away from drugs, using himself as an example of how getting caught up in drugs can be so damaging. If one good thing can come out of his story its that it can be used to keep another young talent from wasting his career.

Well done to Deek. Some might consider it Mickey Mouse but clearly a former internationalist and guy with more than 100 top flight goals, takes it seriously enough to have the hunger to be out there doing it. Keep it up ya legend.

Not a dig at Riordan, just Leigh is undeniably a better player/goalscorer in my eyes

One of them was signed for Hibs and played for several seasons, scoring over 100 goals. One of them had two (?) loan spells, when his career was stalling elsewhere, during which he had one good season. Both great talents and both Hibs fans, but if you're comparing who gave more to Hibs, then there's no comparison. Riordan for me. If LG ever actually signs for Hibs as a Hibs player and not on loan, then I'm sure he will have a decent crack at emulating what Riordan gave us.

The few times I've been up there on business, I've gone up the A9, just after Aviemore, take the A95. Not the greatest way in the dark though. Might be worth coming back the Aberdeen rd in the dark

He will play, East Fife striker took a knock in the last ten minutes on Saturday and looked a sore one, so good chance Deek may even start the game.

Thanks for sharing. The Mowbray era was a great time to be a hibee.

DR always had amazing ability to place the ball and the majority of his goals from distance weren't pile drivers. I also can't remember him scoring so many penalties. Hope he does well at his new club.

4 YPOTM awards in one season as well, 2004, eight seasons with the club and he finished top goal scorer in six of them and scored 17 goals from midfield when Stokes finished top goal scorer as striker that season, he got 3 in his first season, and of course 104 goals for the club he was brought up supporting, dreams do come true, stick in kids.

great to see Deeks doing what he has always done best.

[BSEJVT]

Delighted to see Deek back

I would be very surprised if I ever saw someone score as many goals for Hibs again and whilst there were some screamers, there were lots of different types of finishes amongst them. That's the mark of a true goal scorer

What's got him back into football this time after such a long break Silver?

Is it the realisation that he has got to start again somewhere or that he has lowered his sights, even if temporarily?

He looks in pretty good shape from the little you can make out of him on East Fife TV.

[hibeesboii]

Seen on twitter he's been offered a deal by east fife.

[.Sean.]

Absolutely delighted he seems to be getting some semblance if a footballing career back.

By an absolute mile my favourite ever Hibs player and I've been going regularly for 22 years, and he'll take some beating. Love the man. Pass on my best wishes P :aok:

[The_Exile]

His talent is undeniable, the power he got on the shot which went across the goalkeeper to his far post is technically the most difficult thing to do on a football pitch (yes more difficult than an overhead bicycle kick that luckily hits the top corner) and he done it countless times, it was just fantastic to watch. Long live the king!

Stunning technique, and it's something you can't really coach considering the natural judgement of the angles and the split second decisions that have to be made all at once, therefore incredibly rare that you see the sheer consistency in striking a ball like that. The goal he scored v Hearts at Tynecastle in October 2004 was another example of how to do this, there's no goalie in the world that can stop it because of the angles and the power of the hit, he hit the side netting every time!!. :not worth

Sad it didn't work out at Celtic. I remember Strachan saying that Deek was easily the best finisher at the club but he couldn't get him in the team. Strange one

I always prefer ed him as centre forward too. Playing on shoulder but could drop wide and deep and leave space for the other striker. Top class player and glad majority on here and now getting right behind him

I'm delighted it didn't work out for him at Celtic, he shouldn't have went there in the first place and made the right decision coming back. I also hope everyone who ever joins that club fails miserably.

To be fair if there wasn't a modicum of truth in what people (including myself) have been saying then he wouldn't be a trialist for a mid table league two side.

Great to see he might be able to have one final spell in the game though and might be able to add a few more goals to his tally. On yoursel' Deek.

[portycabbage]

Wasted talent according to some though!


I'm in the "Hibs legend" camp rather than the "wasted talent" one, but I think some of the people who think he could have gone further are actually just talking up his ability, and wondering where he could have got to in the game if he'd been a "24hr athlete" to coin a phrase!

I kind of wish he'd been a fixture in the Scotland team and was playing for a top team down south, so that everyone could see how good he was (actually, I'd prefer him to have stayed at Hibs and continued scoring 25 rakers a season, and "everyone" could just watch that youtube all the goals video!).

I guess I'm saying I prefer to look at it as a compliment to him that people wonder where his ability may have taken him. Great to see him back playing, and playing well.

[Haymaker]

Bring. Him. HAME.

[Northernhibee]

Two goals as a trialist for a league two side and the calls for signing him start? TBH I think the best thing to do is to look back at his time at Hibs as fondly as possible and let's not let our minds run away with themselves too much. Deek's a Hibs legend - I wouldn't want a poor final spell to ruin that for us.

Eh, the "calls" you refer to are one person and I think it was one of the whoosh moment things.

Delighted for him that he's back playing and doing what he does best, scoring goals. The clips of his Hibs 100 hundred goals made me feel very sentimental about his spells at Hibs. I doubt very much that we'll see another100+ goal scorer at ER.

Is the boy Austin good ?

Just turned 21, 'Fash' is like grease lightening. Saw a fair bit of him with Leven amateurs two seasons ago. Was a touch lightweight and didn't strike me as one for the top tier in Scotland. Not seen him this season, though.

Wouldn't surprise me if he moves on to better things in the summer, seemingly a local lad from Fife but his pace is to much for most defences in this league he plays in, he is defo worth a look.

Not being funny here, but how do you know that was Derek's ambition? He moved to China and it didn't work out so perhaps that experience highlighted to him that he was happiest staying at home..?

Can't agree that he "was a wasted talent" either. Playing for the club he supports/loves and scoring 100+ goals suggests otherwise, IMHO.

This thing about "ambition" always puzzles me.

Everybody has a different view of life, and most are valid. Some people are driven by work, some by family, some by other things, and most of us by a combination. Why should a footballer be any different?

If a guy is happy enough to earn a decent wage, which will be enough to satisfy how own needs and wants, and as a bonus gets to stay where he is comfortable..... isn't that an "ambition" that has been satisfied?

I think many of us would accept that opportunity.

Is this the Spanish lad, i would let the yams have him if i was being honest, the right back on loan from the yams looks okay but needs more confidence as when he gets forward he can get good crosses in but defence side of things need to be better, East Fife goalie has looked good in the few games i have seen him but the standout has been Austin & Riordan, Naismith still has a good football brain but the legs are going on him, really nice guy though.

[silverhibee]

Not to sure Billy but he certainly has picked his game up since Riordan started playing for East Fife, the lad has pace and Deek is good at picking him out with some decent deliveries to him.

Great to see DR back playing.
I'd love him to have gone on to do better but he still had good career and hopefully not over.
In his first spell he was most exciting player Ive seen at ER.
On left channel he continually looked like scoring when he cut in whether he was 40 or 20 yards out.
Not sure if I'll see such an exciting young team again.
Hope so.
Wish him all best.
