Even at the age of 10 when I was buying Panini stickers in 1978 I realised that some of the mughsots they used were pretty uncomplimentary…so come on let's have a bit of an internet trawl and come up with the best two unflattering posed player pics from the 70' and 80's…post one Hibs player and one non-Hibs player…and they must be posed shots..not action shots…
then I want the coolest
here is my offering
Des Bremner looking like an utter nutter

I collected panini stickers in the early 80s, I have none of them left now. I seem to remember Mo Johnstons patrick thistle photo being rather unflattering.
I agree the photo of Gilbert is a classic, I think he may have been a Peter Sellers fan, as I have a photo of him somewhere with a similar jersey and glasses too :greengrin

Yes you could put a whole Album together of classic Pettigrew stickers…not surprisingly the one he looks best in is when he ended up on a double sticker with Davie Dodds, but anyone would look normal next top him. Nice to see he saves the worst for when he was playing for Hearts.

St Johnstone used to have a left back called Coburn in the sixties.
He was so ugly that when he embarked on a run down the wing - which thankfully wasn't often - the front row of the old North Enclosure would automatically sway back.
He had - as one of the many wonderful terracing wags of the time put it - a face "only a mother could love". :wink:

Yes. Diego Costa is a bit of a throwback to the '70s footballer. Looks about 45 and likes a tear up...

This explains a lot, because there was a guy called Walter who looked exactly like him that I used to see standing at the upstairs bar in the Conan Doyle (on his todd) downing loads of pints nearly every Friday night during the late 80s.
