Forgotten players

[BS44]

Which one? We've had 2 :greengrin. If you mean the one in the 80's, have to disagree. I thought he was excellent.

Nah, he was rubbish! (Although I only saw him play a few times as I was twelve years old and playing juvenile football most Saturdays) :whistle:

[Peevemor]

Derek Rodier
Stuart turnbull
Rodier crossed for turnbull to score in a win at Tannadice, Mid 80s I think
I'll never forget Stuart Turnbull. Prior to some of the short stayed crap that we've had over the past few years, Turnbull was by far the worst player I'd seen at Hibs, and probably the worst regular starter ever.

[Peevemor]

Ricky hill he got out when he seen how cold it was over here, think he came from the Bahamas

Bermuda.

[Peevemor]

William Jamieson, scorer of the equaliser against Manchester United on a bitterly cold winter's afternoon.
Boxing day - he came off the bench and scored with almost his first touch of the ball. Hearts bought him from us IIRC.

Pretty much agree. The very late seventies and early eighties were hard times to be a hibby. i was weaned on hibs on these teams and didn't know much different so it must have been much harder for hibbys who saw Turnbulls Tornadoes then some of the dross of these days. Albeit there was some good times and plenty of laughs in the stands and on the terraces back then.

Don't think they did - think he landed at Hearts a few years later.....

OK cheers.

Not forgotten at all. We signed him from Ormiston Primrose and he had a Terry Hall style hairdo.

[Nicho87]

Lillian Martin - right back
Fabrice Henry - right winger
Alex Marinkov - centre half

[O'Rourke3]

TBF all have been remembered. Derek Rodier was at school with my mate and I remember him well too :greengrin:

[erin go bragh]

Morten Hyldgaard

Was he the giant of a keeper . Played in a pre season friendly against maybe Sunderland 2-2 . Then never played for us again .

[HarpyHibby]

Alan O'brien...

[Bishop Hibee]

Roy O'Donovan. Mentioned earlier I see. I was reminded of him while watching the Ayr v Morton game. Diving header at Somerset Park in the cup.

Don't think Lee Bailey has been mentioned.

[Forza Fred]

Joe Keenan was another impact player minus the impact.

He returned to Oz for a while, but failed to get a club I think.

When Mixu signed him, ThAT was when I really started to get worried.

[Forza Fred]

Roy O'Donovan. Mentioned earlier I see. I was reminded of him while watching the Ayr v Morton game. Diving header at Somerset Park in the cup.

Roy O'Donovan is currently playing with Central Coast Mariners in the A League.

His team ain't up to much but he has banged in a few goals for them.....in between suspensions that is!

[BSEJVT]

Brian Welsh I think. Cleared 'off the line' but linesman signalled to the ref it had gone in. I remember being in the queue about 1pm and the Hibs end was rammed by 2. Grant Brebner scored an OG.

We followed up with a 0-0 at Celtic Park then were relegated the following week at ER.

Yes I was there too, it was Welsh who I think got hurt doing so?

Hibs end was rammed, think they scored through Brebner og?

IIRC we went into that game hoping to drag Dunfermline back into it when we didn't all eyes turned to United whom we were leading 1-0 until 2 late Olafson goals, although I think only 1 was required.

There was another thread on which Gunn's merits as a goalie for Hibs were debated, I thought he was bloody awful for us, but still better that Gottskalsken!

[Allant1981]

Was truly awful for us. Could not catch a ball. Big part of why we went down.

no he wasnt

[Speedway]

Apologies if I've missed these but Gary Deegan and Kevin Nicol should be filed under the 'almost remembered' category too.

[Jamesie]

Peter Guggi

[greenlex]

Martin Mcintosh

[seven nowt]

Joe Keenan
Fabian Yantorno (could have been a great player if not for injury)
Danny Haynes

[KeithTheHibby]

Paul Lovering (although he was my favourite player that relegation season)
Graham Donald
Chris somebody, scored a screamer at Tynie and marked Paul Gasgoigne or Brian Laudrup out of a game. Was one of our own players who we brought through the ranks. I think he ended up in Iceland at one point but could be totally wrong about that.

Was at school with Chris, top lad and played in a good Hibs team.

Anyone mentioned Eammon Bannon yet....

JK brown. Bad perm

[makaveli1875]

chris jackson

barry lavety

olly gottskalkson or whatever his name was the keeper

[Hiber-nation]

JK brown. Bad perm

Worse footballer. We got the wrong guy with him I think, he couldn't have played for Villa and Pompey.

[CropleyWasGod]

Loved the team announcements in those days.... "Number 6, Jim Brown...... Number 10, James Brown....."

:greengrin

[KWJ]

Some of those mentioned like Barry Prenderville have given me a smile.

Patrick Noubissie
Earl Jean
Paul Holsgrove
Klaus Dietrich
Janos Matyus
Jarkko Wiss
Humphrey Rudge
Sean O'Hanlon (shudder)
Thierry Gathussi

Had some decent players that rarely get a mention to like Szamo tha monk, Arpinon the injured and Matty Doumbe.

Youngsters that showed some promise but fell away

Jay Shields
Jamie McCluskey
Alan Reid
Kevin Nicol
Mark Dempsie (Sare back)
Allan Dempsie (mind him playing up in St. J looked way too wee for his strip)

[StevieCowan]

Joe McGloughlan (sp)

[A Hi-Bee]

Going back a wee bit.
John Murphy, so much talent but just coudnie be arsed
John Hazel, great for a few games then never fulfilled his talent

Question for the historians:
We had a sweeper (remember them) played a good few times and one game stands out when he filled in for John Blackley against the original huns at humpden, semi final game when stand in boss Ewing said The Rangers are Rubbish (very true and the media at the time where shocked!), game ended 1-1 or 0-0 but pretty sure Jimmy O;Rourke scored for us.
Blond hair with not much of it left and even though he was only early twenties, cannot for the life o me remember his name or what happened to him.

FFs jist remembered his name was Alex Pringle (i think) what happened to him?

[Diclonius]

Denes Rosa. Turned up halfway through Mixu's final season, played better than most of our central midfield (wasn't too difficult since our midfield consisted primarily of Ross Chisholm), was persistently rumoured the whole time he was here to be signing for Hearts at the end of the season, then didn't. Assisted O'Brien's assist in a derby winner though.

[Baader]

Kevin McKee
Neil Cooper (ex St Mirren not the Aberdeen Neale..)
Sean Widera
Derek Anderson
Eric Paton

[swordin3]

Who could forget the Welsh international Ivor Biggun I think he was a big centre back from Swansea.

[Peevemor]

Kevin McKee

Did he not get smacked in the puss by a hun supporter at Ibrox (obviously protecting his players)?

John Hazel came close to legendary status but not quite. He scored with a diving header against Hearts in the cup.

Derek Spalding was another decent sub from those days.

[Diclonius]

Remember the "dream team" signings Calderwood made in the middle of season 2010-11? If I recall correctly it took about 3 weeks to make the first one - Calderwood put this down to "stumbling blocks", i.e. we were down to our 5th/6th choices because the club was obsessed with spending as little money as possible.

Akpo Sodje: Looked a half decent target man centre forward, scored a couple goals, and disappeared the following season.
Victor Palsson: Was our "best signing in years" after a couple games, faded rapidly, then joined the George St gang.
Richie Towell: Looked very good at right back and then didn't. Said Hearts fans hated him because he was a Catholic.
Ricardo Vaz Te: Scored against Hearts, probably the best of the lot.
Martin Scott: Punched Sean Welsh in the face.
Matt Thornhill: ???

Those were the days. :aok:

[Hiber-nation]

:greengrin

:greengrin

Known as "Jazzer" by a few North Enclosure-ites. That's when we weren't laughing at him. I remember John Connolly getting the biggest cheer of a dire game by actually tackling him and getting the ball off him.

Oh and Duncan Lambie...:boo hoo:

[WoreTheGreen]

Martin Henderson

[lapsedhibee]

Richie Towell: Looked very good at right back and then didn't. Said Hearts fans hated him because he was a Catholic.

Might come back to haunt us, if we ever get Brighton in the Scottish Cup draw.

Wasn't there a fan club that went under L*mb**'s name? :greengrin


Weirdly, the Tom-Tom Club are on the radio just now, with that line..."James Brown???.......... James Brown.............!!!!"

Mark Fulton. Does anyone remember this strip I certainly can't? That game will be Sevilla when Jock Wallace was there for a season

Danny Lennon

[WoreTheGreen]

Is that really Danny Lennon i will ask Danny if he agrees that Danny lennon is the real Danny Lennon

Emigrated to Canada. Was a good player, very assured but a bit too wee for central defence.



Add Viktor Pallson to this list. He started off great, had lots of dig and let Jim Goodwin know all about it.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Andy Dow

[tamig]

Not forgotten at all. We signed him from Ormiston Primrose and he had a Terry Hall style hairdo.

And a legend of the Sir Albert Kidd game.

Willie Irvine . Was brilliant season 85 . Think we knocked back a bid of 200k from the sheep , then the next season he couldn't hit a cows erse with a banjo .

Johnny died about a year and a half ago sadly.
