3 Players you wish hadn't played for Hibs

[Hibernian Verse]

Shamlessly stolen from the bounce. Which 3 players do you wish hadn't played for Hibs? Conversely who should have?

Not meant as a negative thread...some of the reasoning will be quite amusing I think!

1) Matt Doherty
2) Pa Kujabi
3) Terry Butcher (honorary managers mention)

Reasons are quite self explanatory. Don't blame Kujabi for 2012 but he's included for an abysmal Roberto Carlos free kick which went out for a throw IIRC.

The absolute bare minimum you expect from a professional player/ manager is total commitment and these 3 ar5eholes fell short.

Some of the players mentioned above are really harsh. Yep, there are some players who weren't great but at least they did their best - the fact that they weren't good enough was more down to the manager who selected them.

Did Paul Hartley actually play? I thought he just warmed the bench while proper footballers like Sauzee, Latapy, O' Neill and Jack showed him how to play football.

Difficult to pick only 3 but I'd go for Pa Kujabi, Joe Keenan and Paul Tosh. I don't necessarily think that Pa Kujabi is in the worst 3 but had he not signed then maybe Lewis would have played left back in the 2012 Cup Final and Craig Thomson would have had to try a lot harder to make sure they won.

[Centre Hawf]

I'm going to go for legit players that got solid runs in the team and hampered us in someway for it rather than a few 4/5 appearance players that came and left.

1. James Collins

Need we say more about this man? £200k signings should usually be able to offer more than running around like a headless chicken and great chest control. Every time he scored, which was rarely, you thought to yourself "this is it, he's going off on a run now surely." The run never came. The run just never, ever, came.
Proceeded to piss of a balcony at the horse racing which is actually a perfecting metaphor for that 200k when you come to think about it.

2. Pa Kujabi

Got rinsed repeatedly in that 5-1 final, while the penalty was never one, he still deserved to be sent off and I could barely see that side overturning it 11v11 let alone a man down. His free kick attempt was god awful and will always remember Garry O'Connor wetting himself laughing after it.

I remember watching an U20's Edinburgh Derby with him in it the season after the 5-1 final. Even the kids were getting pissed off at him for his poor first touch, shocking defensive awareness, and soft tackles. Gambian Roberto Carlos? Gambia must have some bad TV feeds if that's the comparison that was made.

3. Danny Haynes

Bar a cracking header against Kilmarnock the only thing this man offered us was a shocking leg breaking attempt at Spoony against St Johnstone. The fact that he was booed by his own fans as well as St Johnstone's when trudging off said all you need about how his loan spell was going. "Can we appeal it?" he asks Terry Butcher upon getting on the bus, only thing we should have appealed for was someone to take him off us.

Highlight of his career though was him trying to pump up the Hibs fans away to St Mirren at 2-0 down. Instead of being greeted with the usual "CMON HIBS" when looking for a goal. He was quickly told where to go by the fans in that section. Understandable seeing as that side conceded within about 10 seconds.

[portyhibernian]

Matt Doherty - attitude stinking, unforgivable lack of effort in that cup final

Zibi - woeful goalkeeper, lots of errors, mostly in big games

Brian Kerr - best possible start to Hibs career, then proceeded to contribute absolutely nothing

He had talent but for me he was a lazy sod who would rather wait for the ball coming to him instead of making a real effort. The amount of times too he would take a difficult shot and miss rather than making the team pass to a player in a far better position. He also disappeared without a by your leave. I just didn't like Eoin Doyle's workrate or teamplay. That's my opinion and if you think I'm insane then that's entirely up to you. That's the last I'm going to say of one of my choices of player I didn't think worthy of being a Hibernian player so if anyone else wants to criticise my choice please feel free but don't expect me to reply to them.

Horrendous "Football" players.

Managers -

Butcher x3

Some of the mentions here are dubious, Doyle was consistantly played out of position to suit Griffiths, hes now went on to do decent down south in the championship. Heffernan spent most of the time injured. Nelson was a scapegoat, wasnt the best defender but tried his heart out and look decent at times. Was just in a poor team. Hes still playing now for Cambridge, Barnet or something. McGivern looked good when he was on loan, once we signed him he gave up. Had a terrible 6 months but hardly the worst player ever.

[Skyegreen]

Some of the names mentioned seem to be a tad unfair in my opinion. I think sometimes a player just doesn't fit a club or the club is maybe going through a tough period. I think this could be said for quite a few that have passed through tbf.

However ......this guy ......Zibi 😩 WTF did we do to deserve such a ****** goalie ? One of the worst I've ever seen 😁

I appreciate that forums like this are often about opinions, but some of the names being bandied about this thread are difficult to fathom. Michael Stewart? An integral part of the midfield which helped win the league cup in 2007 and shamefully treated by Collins when he replaced Mowbray. Eoin Doyle? A decent young player who combined well with Griffiths and scored valuable goals on the way to successive cup finals. Should have scored with that header v Celtic in the 2013 final though.

For what it's worth here are my nominations:
1. Zibi. A catastrophe at every turn with massive gaffes regularly. The worst keeper in living memory by a country mile.
2. Roy O'Donovan. One of a number of charlatans in that final. A complete waste of
time and money whose career highlight is being banned for 3 months for head butting an opponent in Australia.
3. James Collins. A lumbering impostor of the highest order who couldn't hit a cow's a*se with a banjo from 2 feet. Distinguished himself in the p*ss pouring episode at the Cheltenham races this year.

The OP doesn't ask you to name the 3 worst Hibs players, it just says 3 players you wished hadn't played for Hibs. Fans often take a dislike to certain players, sometimes for irrational reasons.

I have to agree with you. I paid special attention to him (Tudor Jones) at one home game and he always ran into space which is great if you are in possession but it was when we weren't.
He always seemed to run away from the man and ball. One of the biggest shyster I've seen.

Owain Tudur-Jones - quite clearly cared about golf more than he did football and it showed on the park (on the rare occasion he was fit). His performance in the 2nd leg of the play-off vs Hamilton was embarrassingly pathetic.

[G B Young]

Joe Harper
Jackie McNamara
Joe Ward

No question the first two were good players, and no question Jackie became a great Hibby, but the reason I've selected them is because in an ideal world we wouldn't have signed them. Eddie Turnbull signed Harper because he felt the classic Tornadoes line-up wasn't quite good enough, yet most of the players of that time believe he broke the side up too soon. Had we not signed Harper we might have had another couple of seasons with Gordon and O'Rourke up front and I believe we'd have won at least one more trophy. McNamara came in to replace Pat Stanton who should never have been allowed to leave ER. Joe Ward? Well, for those who don't remember he came in from Aston Villa as part of the deal which took the excellent Des Bremner south and was very much a player who symbolised the rapid decline of Hibs in the late 70s. Don't know if he actually scored for Hibs but he was a very poor striker.

Motherwell - he fired us in to Europe!! I remember he nearly scored an overhead kick against Livingston too, would have been some moment.

[Billychaotic182]

Tony Caig - he was up there as one of the worst keepers I've ever seen and the only reason he doesn't get mentioned as much as others is because how bad other keepers were.

Zibby - don't really need to mention why!

James Collins - cost is a ton of money only to be awful. Yes we have signed worse than him but the money we paid in this day and age it's hard to not wish we never had signed him!

[blaikie]

Motherwell - he fired us in to Europe!! I remember he nearly scored an overhead kick against Livingston too, would have been some moment.

So it was! Thinking back on it the forwards we had back in 2005 were pretty impressive.

Riordan
GoC
Morrow
Fletcher
Benji
Shiels
Killen

[HibsNutter]

2008 - 2014 gave us a fair few.

I'll go with the obvious three:

Doherty - Bellend.
Kujabi - More to blame than anyone for my worst day as a hibs fan.
Collins - Worst value for money of any player we've ever had.

[blackpoolhibs]

I loved the big Mali Magician haha.

He gave me my funniest moment ever watching Hibs, when he ran from centre to wide to go for a ball drilled with a little pace and it hit him smack on the back of his head. :faf:

EVERYONE around us in the top of the west knew at that moment he just would never make it as a player.

Instead of getting on his back as our crowds have done in the past, we laughed.

When the support do that even he must have known it was over.

[Scott Allan Key]

Andy Walker,
James Collins
Ryan McGivern

Either full of rancour, rubbish, unprofessional or a mixture of all three.

[cleanyman]

Rowan Vine - Wow

James Collins - Wow

Tudor Jones - Wow


TJ and Collins had effort as the majority of bad players do. Rowan Vine has to be the worst ever to play in a Hibs strip

[McD]

Paco Luna.
Simon Brown.
zibi.
Darren McCormack.
Alen Orman.
Craig Rocastle.

no particular order.

[southern hibby]

Don't ask me why but I never ever thought my pick was a football player at any level never mind good enough to make a living from it but here goes.........

Jarkko Wiss,

Every other footballer that's put the top on I've supported but that man did and still does put my neck hair up when he's mentioned. Cannot for the life of me think why but it really gripes my sh t he got
To play for Hibs.

Why Doyle ?

Got to admit I would honestly replace Doyle from my three choices with the likes of Eduardo ''Tank'' Hurtado-Jarko Wiss-Amadou Konte all far worse than Eoin Doyle. I thought Doyle was lazy and not a team player at times but having been reminded of these 'players' who I had erased from my memory I would defo replace any of the that sorry trio and others who have been mentioned with Eoin Doyle.

Got to be honest and say I was mistaken to have him in my top three.





Glory Glory

[GreenOnions]

Michael Nelson :bitchy: Got off lightly from supporters because his attitude was good but the worst and by far the slowest regular-starting centre-back I've seen at ER in 30 years

Brian Hamilton - a bit of "the kings new clothes" about him. Someone once said his work was so good it went unnoticed. He got a bit of extra time after that until the truth became too obvious

Ryan McGivern - still can't believe that he kept Lewis out of the team. Having said that Nelson kept Forster out of the team (or playing at right back) for a long while :bitchy:

Are you sure you were watching the same guy?

Zibby - cost us so many points and results against hearts.

Ray Wilkins - genuinely don't think he left the centre circle. Price.

A third name is tough due to competition....

Ryan mcgivern. Form fell off a cliff and his hair was objectionable.

I can understand zibby and Simon brown, but the other three?

Alan Orman - screamer at ibrox for a draw.
Rocky - part of mowbrays's team
Mccormack - a good hibbie, showed potential but didn't fulfil it.

[Eyrie]

Zibi Malkowski, Ray Wilkins and Matt Doherty.

All three made me appreciate Brian Hamilton's talent.

[Smartie]

I love this thread. The totally subjective nature of the choice of players is what makes it great. You don't need to justify your selections - you just need to dislike the players and regret the fact that they ever played for us.

I think we're getting close to being able to field a team from the suggestions that would not only be better than our current side but be better than any side we've had for about 30 years.

Ray Wilkins - just because
Owain Tudor Jones - just because he was total Tom Kite
Paul Tosh - purely for booting the ball of a Dundee Utd player at Tannadice in the last minute n it rebounded straight into a Utd players path & they equalised and we then went on to lose the pen kicks ps it was easier to put it anywhere other than boot it of the Utd player.

Wilkins, andy watson, konte change konte for zibbie then I agree. Mind wouldn't have seen last minute equaliser against Motherwell after being 2-0 down if konte hadn't signed and helping the winner for dean shields at the PBS

Luna - just never took to the guy, sorry chaps.

orman - that belter aside, he just frustrated me (it was a cracking goal)
rocastle - felt that he felt he was above us and would walk into a much bigger club rather than earning it
mccormack - looked a good player, but couldn't stop acting like an idiot off the field.

These players were brilliant but just raised expectations that we would always have players that good. Given some of the dross (Stuart Turnbull ffs) that followed the memory of these three only made it harder to watch.

I remember an old guy in the North Stand after Turnbull aimlessly hoofed the ball skywards while in acres of space. Put his head in his hands muttering "how the **** has it come tae this".

Paco played a major part in one the best nights at ER I can recall , If only he had tucked away that sitter.

Hey, Hey babyyy OOOH AHHH

He was slower than either Nelson or Murdock and had the skill of Rowan Vine. Apart from that a nice chap and a fine footballer.

Watching Tom Soares in that cup final almost made me cry. Very nearly dug out the old Copas after seeing him masquerading as a football player. Tragic.

We swapped a very fine footballer in Iain Munro for the 1st two mugs. Not only that but he was a part-time PE teacher at my school (Boroughmuir) and has us in raptures about PS's 5 O'clock goal. Good few of my teachers were good Hibs men. Dode Manson, Davy Griffiths & Martin O'Neil.

You must have been at Boroughmuir around the same time as me. Remember leaving the junior building and heading down for the midweek afternoon kick-off against the old Huns.

Matt Doherty - total prick and disrespected the club and the support big time after that Cup final. Genuinely would make me happy to hear that he needs to retire due to injury. I genuinely despise him.

Rowan Vine - crap and had a Billy Big-Baws attitude. Got into a Twitter argument with him once and he clearly could not give a **** about our Club while he was here. Excellent at looking & playing like a jakey though.

Owain Tudur-Jones - quite clearly cared about golf more than he did football and it showed on the park (on the rare occasion he was fit). His performance in the 2nd leg of the play-off vs Hamilton was embarrassingly pathetic.

Christ we've had some utter dross at Hibs in recent years.

I think you nailed my picks. I get that players like Zibi were atrocious and would probably be number 1 in everybodies worst ever 11 but these 3 were such utter c**ts that I can overlook the mere lack of skill from certain picks.

Good call - can't remember anything about his play BUT I'm pretty sure we kinda swapped him for Crunchie and that was unforgivable. Or was that some 'Elliot' bloke? Can't remember but Duff Jimmy broke my heart when we got rid of McAllister.

[cocteautwin]

That ar**hole with the beard that played in the team that got us relegated. I know that's only one out of my three but he's head shoulders and beard above anyone else that was useless for us.
