Thats the first time ive seen that Cathro interview. Very strange indeed. Bottom lip trembling and mumbling incoherently. A very strange young man indeed
Good to see Roughie and Sneddon together. They played in a poor Hibs side but it was the one i grew up watching

I genuinely thought he was about to start crying during that interview - he was so bad I actually felt sorry for him !!

Was sat 3 rows back from the dugout last night, he is indeed a strange person. Couldn't handle any jeering from the crowd, kept giving it back but in a weird nervous childish way.

He's not got much help, the dude McPhee looks an even bigger dumpling and Potter up in the stand is probably another boil on his bum. Lol.

I'm sure he's a nice man. However.. my memories are of a rank rotten defender. He couldn't pass water. That said, I have a weird memory of a game at Fir Park where we won 2-1 with two 20 yard Sneddon screamers. But by the next week he was back to being rank rotten...

Your memory is rank Sneddon was no genius he was a good honest trier and far from rank rotten.

He was indeed a good honest trier. He just wasn't very good at football.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanyway, doesn't matter now...

He was never rank rotten. He was a decent player and a great pro. Never less than 100% from him and considering some of the imposters that followed he was a very good servant to Hibs in what were very tough years

The match you are thinking of was at Tannadice. Both were absolute cracking strikes.

He was our Guest of Honour at the recent London Hibs Burns Night and was a true gent and was appreciative of our hospitality. I don't know what makes you think he was rank rotten. He may have had limited ability (he himself would probably admit that) but what he lacked for in skill he more than compensated by his commitment to the cause.

it wasn't Tannadice - most definitely Fir Park. Of course I may be confused with age. A quick google suggests it may have been just one goal (??): http://www.fitbastats.com/hibs/game.php?gameid=5619

And I didn't mean to offend anyone's memory of him. Everyone had (and still has - check anywhere on hibs.net any day of the week) their favourites and pet hates, and at the time he used to drive me up the wall with his crap distribution. Just one of those players who constantly annoyed me at the time.

But I'm (genuinely) quite sorry I mentioned it now....

Holy Horse - there was some **** in that team. Brazil & Turnbull were a different class of mediocrity and Callachan and Duncan were long passed their sell-by. IIRC we drew the next match at home in the SC vs East Fife and lost the replay at Methill.

Apologies for probably posting the only downbeat post on the messageboard today. I'll be having nightmares for weeks now!

BTW - Sneddon did score an absolute screamer at Tannadice and I joked about it with him only a few weeks ago. He said it was the best goal he ever scored (he didn't net many).

And bought Gordon Durie from them not long after.

Sneddon's goal (from about 35yds) put us 1-0 up. They then went ahead 3-1 and we came back to draw 3-3, with Brian Rice getting the equaliser from a volley. Remember it like it was yesterday.

A good servant to the Club over a long period of time & a good enough player to have Premier League & Scottish cup winners medals from his time at Celtic.

Popeye was often played at left back despite being a right back. Never a star but always put in a shift. Remember the League Cup game at ER where he scored both in a 2-0 win versus Alloa from that lb position.

Is my memory playing tricks but did senddon only have one eye a la dean shiels?

Anyway a true pro who always gave it his all.

Sneddon was never rank rotten. A good solid pro who served this club well. Maybe was kept on a couple of seasons longer than he should've been but that's hardly his fault. Hibs don't give out testimonials to mugs.

As an aside Popeye won TWO league championship winners medals in 1981 - a Premier League with Celtic and a First Division with Hibs due to games played for both. Not sure if anyone else will have done that...

Snoddy got a Premier League winners medal and a First Division winners medal in the same season that he joined us from Celtc. Was one of my favourite players.

He was certainty referred to as one-eye Sneddon, but I don't know if it was actually true tbh.

I recall that it was absolutely freezing cold that day and I lost the bet and had to do the tea run from the kiosks that were behind the old terrace. I had no sooner bought the teas then Hibs scored with their first attack of the 2nd half and I missed the goal.

My hands were blue with the cold and the wind swept the boiling hot teas out the paper cups over my hands and I didn't feel a thing.

We were a poor side back then.

Although he played the prerequisite of matches to qualify for a PL medal while a Celtic player, he never actually received the medal.

He's an Auchinleck Talbot supporter (useless info for the evening).

Me too. We celebrated that result as if it was a win. Almost unheard of for that great United team to be pegged back from a two goal lead. We used to take some pumpings from them around that time.

Good honest pro who gave his all. My main memory of him is him scoring with a header from a Brian Rice cross in a relegation battle with Dumbarton at Easter Road on January 19, 1985. Other goalscorers in a 3-1 win for us that day were Gordon Durie and a Brian Rice (with a penalty). I can remember the details because I was Hibs' mascot that afternoon! Weirdly, we ran out towards the Dunbar End. Roughie rolled the ball to me to put into an empty net and I put it wide, much to the amusement of the few hundred Dumbarton fans behind the goal.

We had won at Ibrox the previous week too, and gradually pulled away from Dumbarton, otherwise we would have went down. I remember Durie scoring a first half hat-trick a few weeks later in a 5-1 win over Morton. I also recall a 4-0 home defeat by St Mirren a couple of months later! Not our best team but a few decent players in there (Rough, Durie, Rice, McBride).

That would be the same season that the club laid on free transport for an away match at Dumbarton - there were 30+ LRT double deckers. We only won the match 2-0 (IIRC) but we played our best football of the season.
