John Doolan talks

[RoxburghHibs]

“It’s done now and it was unbelievable living in Edinburgh amongst the fans and I’ll be a Hibee for the rest of my life now.

“Once you’ve gone in there and you see how the fans have been with us and the club including everyone that’s been with us behind the scenes, it’s a really heartbreaking decision to make.”

Love the shirt sponsors - Hodge Clemco manufacturers of "Abrasive Blasting Equipment"

[jacomo]

Love the guy.

He spoke so warmly about us after the final, you could tell it was a really emotional moment for him.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Lovely guy. Absolute gentlemen and Hibs legend.

[MrSmith]

That's very cool and good to hear :)

[GreenArmyyy!]

More gutted that he is gone than Stubbs to be honest. He really got what it mean to be one of us.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Before the Tynecastle cup game, we were waiting outside the Murrayfield Hotel, and the team bus went past. JD was sitting in the very front seat beside the driver. When he saw the Hibs fans he started thumping his chest and fist pumping, mouthing "come on". Real passion from the guy!

[TheMentalHibees]

His celebration after grays winner in the final showed what the club means to him. Much respect and no hard feelings.

Agreed. Doolan is Hibs class.

[gogsy23]

JD top guy and will be missed

[Craig_HFC]

What a man.

Sounds like he was happier to stay here than Stubbs was (if that makes any sense)

This. Had the pleasure of a train journey back south last season with him and Andy Holden. Two cracking fellas who simply 'got' Hibs. I got a text from JD on the Monday after the final simply saying "we did it". Hibs class.

No he wasn't. Stubbs' loyalty to Doolan took him back down the road. Ultimate professional though and loved the club.

[Craig_HFC]

No, what I was saying is that it seems it was harder for Doolan to leave us than it was for Stubbs to.

Don't get me wrong; Doolan was always going with Stubbs but I reckon JD would have been happier to stay here than Stubbs would have been if they both stayed.

I agree

I think

[brog]

2 years ago I was at Hoylake for The Open & met some Everton fans who were friends with JD. At that time he & AS had just signed up & were horrified at their inheritance, no goalie for a start!. They called JD up & he was just great, got the club from the start. Great guy, did a tremendous job, I wish him & AS well.

[monktonharp]

Must be spewing rae leave oot au loyalty to join a pub team eh?say what you want, or your view on things mate. If you had the pleasure to have been in John Doolan's company though , I am sure you'd have a different view. John and big Taff, along with Alan Stubbs, were great guys in the company of real Hibernian fans, and Doolan really had a passion about our club. he /they stayed very close to me and had a couple of beers in my local at times. they would talk fitba' all day to anyone and were great to meet. I am very sad at John's departure as he had told us just after we got to the final that (his words) we are not coming back from this one without the cup, and it will sit in that cabinet beside us for a couple of hours mate (again his words) in this pub. on the Sunday, I got in touch and said, we'll hold you to that. he replied, when we get the chance, it will be in your "wee" pub!. obviously that cant happen now, as he is no longer an employee of HFC, but half an hour after that message he took the trouble to come into our boozer and had to refuse a dozen offers for a drink.. even the bar manager, offered him one . for anyone to somehow have a sly dig at Doolan, I have to say get a grip. he buried his Da, a scaffolder that was still graftin' at the age of 73, only 2 weeks ago and if he wants to be much closer to his family then so be it. utter respect.

Well said. The Hibs bus passed ours on the M8 on the way home from Hampden and no one was more animated than John Doolan, giving huge big lifts of the cup to all of us. Loved it. Good luck to him and his.

Think someone is doolans close family passed away not long before final so going back closer to home might have been more appealing after this

That's a really good read, nice touch from Bruce Langham and Rod Petrie to attend the funeral.

It's great that Hibs meant so much to JD, I'm not sure if there's a steer from the club to do it, but reading about JD and Stubbs drinking with Hibs fans, and the scenes of players celebrating in 'Hibs' pubs after big wins certainly seems to have rid us of the couldn't-care-less player culture that hung around us for a few years.

Bl00dy typical, tonight's about the only time I've not been in the Club since 21/5/16 and John 'Legend' Doolan walks in :rolleyes: :greengrin Top man :not worthSuze, wish you had been there! we met him in the Ormie, then dragged him to the club (taxi) then went to the Harp & Castle on his insistence. was relatively quiet there so we progressed to the Central bar at the fit o' the walk. was bouncin' in there with a Karioki going on. I came back from the toilets,only to see him on the mike singin' Sunshine on Leith. place went mental! he then said, don't put any videos on social media etc as I aint no singer! was a brilliant night. spoke to him earlier this evening, to say a proper goodbye but he had to dash home .thought he said his wife was unwell, but he may have said his brother's wife. I did not want to intrude, so said bye' and best of luck to all of you guys. such a nice ordinary person like you and I, from a working class area, Kirby in Liverpool, and wont meet many like him again. one of the very best.
