Gordon Smith, obviously. :flag:


But I think the article means players who are still playing. So who would you choose?

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Malonga.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Broonie

[Andy74]

Malonga

[houstonhibbee]

Without a doubt Leigh

[Smartie]

Without a doubt Leigh

:agree:

I think we've had better players over the years, but the main things we lack right is now is someone who can play up front on his own and someone who can create and score a goal out of nothing.

Must be Leigh.

[banarc7062]

Yes, that is my selection.:flag:

[Jones28]

Riordan in his prime. A true game changer

[Bostonhibby]

This

[ehf]

Hendo.

[scooby]

If I could have two, Leigh and Malonga

[HoboHarry]

Can't believe I am the first to say Le God.......

[snooky]

:singing: (T42) "Leigh for me, and me for Leigh ...."

[Scooter]

Can't believe I am the first to say Le God.......

100% with you on this.

2nd place would go to boozy. Loved watching him play

[ian cruise]

Can't believe I am the first to say Le God.......

Op said still playing which us why he's not been mentioned yet.

I'd have to go with Leigh too. Him and Jace up top would be frightening.

[Northernhibee]

Jorge Claros.

[Bostonhibby]

Still playing. Leigh.

[heretoday]

Malonga.

[InchHibby]

Latapy, Hendo, Broony, Leigh, Malonga.

[Liam89]

Definitely James Collins...

Only joking, LEIGH! :hyper

[SirDavidsNapper]

Jorge Claros.

Could never understand why people rated him. His cowardly performance in the 2012 cup final still angers me. Wouldn't get a sniff in out current team

[Northernhibee]

Far from the worst offender and the spirit he showed the season after and his love of the club was infectious. Classy player too.

[lucky]

How anyone would choose Malonga before Leigh, Broony, Whittaker or Henderson is beyond me. The guy only played when he could be arsed. That's the reason his career has not been as successful as it should have been.

[Navids Numpties]

Sparky

[hibee-boys]

Don't get the Malonga love in, not doubting he was capable of some brilliance but all too often games passed him by. Great song though!

[MWHIBBIES]

Could never understand why people rated him. His cowardly performance in the 2012 cup final still angers me. Wouldn't get a sniff in out current teamDo his brilliant, consistent performances the next season not make up for it? Class player.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Do his brilliant, consistent performances the next season not make up for it? Class player.

Didn't rate him at all. Average player in a poor side. Wouldn't want him anywhere near Easter Road now. A lot of people rated him though which is fair enough

[Haymaker]

Obviously Leigh Griffiths for me :greengrin

[MyJo]

At this point in time it would have to be sparky.

If we could get any player, from the past at the same standard as when they played for us then I would be Riordan

[Peevemor]

Sparky.

[southsider]

Joe Baker from 1958. Colin Stein from !968 Peter Marinello from 1970. Pat from 1965-1975.

[Thecat23]

Leigh.

Hands down 10 times better than anything recent.

[hibees 7062]

Jack

[portyhibernian]

I think Griffiths would score goals for fun in our current side so I'd take him.

[jacomo]

Don't you start.

King Dom all the way.

[Roxyhibee]

Easily, Leigh from current players still playing.

And the late 50's / early 60's version of Joe Baker from past players.

[.Sean.]

Boozy

[1875STEVE]

If it's who is still playing; Leigh Griffiths all day long.

If it's not, in my lifetime: Franck Sauzee

[MWHIBBIES]

How anyone would choose Malonga before Leigh, Broony, Whittaker or Henderson is beyond me. The guy only played when he could be arsed. That's the reason his career has not been as successful as it should have been.
Henderson took 2 decent corners all season and is overrated because of it. Was always knackered by 70 mins.

See how easy it is to critisize? Dom was quality and him not running about like a knob doesnt change that.

Henderson also quality but is a little overrated on here.

[Leith's finest]

Pat Mcginlay need a scoring midfielder

[southsider]

Pat Mcginly need a scoring midfielder
McGinlay

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

How anyone would choose Malonga before Leigh, Broony, Whittaker or Henderson is beyond me. The guy only played when he could be arsed. That's the reason his career has not been as successful as it should have been.

He played at his best at the hibees, he just needed a bit TLC.

As spud says "you've just got to treat em right man".

I would have loved to see big Dom win the cup with us.

[R'Albin]

Griffiths and it isn't even close.

[CapitalGreen]

Clueless

[Captain Trips]

Pat McGinlay.

Goals from midfield are so important he knew how to do it.

[heid the baw]

Archibald

[KWJ]

Leigh is obvious, Scott Brown on current form too.

But to go a bit left field I'll say Steven Fletcher who I reckon would make a marvelous pairing up top with Jase.

[Hibbyradge]

Can't believe I am the first to say Le God.......

Unless I've missed something extraordinary, he's not still playing.

[Callyballybe]

If it's in the 'still playing' category, then surely Leigh all the way!

[Hibbyradge]

Joe Baker from 1958. Colin Stein from !968 Peter Marinello from 1970. Pat from 1965-1975.

:hilarious

[SirDavidsNapper]

Clueless

Says the man who would take back king Dom? Cult hero but was usually a liability

[surreyhibbie]

:top marks

[Iain G]

Fletcher for me :agree:

[Lago]

Alan Gordon

[HFCdeb]

At this point in time it would have to be sparky.

If we could get any player, from the past at the same standard as when they played for us then I would be Riordan

This.

[snooky]

If we could sign Sparky tomorrow we would need to build additional tiers on the stands,
So, from a logistics point of view, it's not on. :wink:

[Drumlanrig]

Jimmy O'Rourke!

hat trick man!

[snooky]

Alan Gordon

Class in the gas & class on the grass. :agree:

[Hibeewilly]

Bang on mate. His huffiness spoiled my after match beers on more than a few occassions. Pathetic attitude

[DH1875]

Surely if we are talking about players who are still playing then it has to be Leigh :agree:

[dchibs]

Latapy.

[Andy74]

Well this is total nonsense and repeating it doesn't make it any more true.

[Andy74]

Surely if we are talking about players who are still playing then it has to be Leigh :agree:

Yeah. Forgot all about him when I went for Malonga.

[fat freddy]

Junior Agogo

[stantonhibby]

Leigh.

Hands down 10 times better than anything recent.

Yep

[cloudy]

Fletcher for me.

[yonder1875]

Griffiths.

[canuckhibee]

Malonga, Griffiths.

[J-C]

Has to be Leigh, he could score a goal out of nothing just like Riordan, pure class.

[Betty Boop]

Scott Allan.

[calumhibee1]

Leigh Griffiths out of players still playing by an absolute country mile. :agree: We'd have the league tied up by now if we had him this season.

[Sir David Gray]

Leigh Griffiths by miles.

[Mixu62]

Reckon Kevin Mcallister would rip this league up. Or Mickey weir.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Gordon Smith. Back to reality Griffiths.

[Pretty Boy]

If it's players still playing then Leigh Griffiths by a country mile.

If it's being semi realistic then Malonga.

[BroxburnHibee]

Still playing - has to be Leigh.

Retired - Latapy.

[eastmainsmsh]

Mark caughey

[Is It On....]

Mark caughey

He wasn't that bad..how about Gordon Durie?

Still playing has to be LG.

[Eyrie]

Still playing would be Griffiths.

Retired would be Latapy or McGinlay.

[The Spaceman]

Amadou Konte.

Man got us into Europe :greengrin

[DavidDavidGray]

Leigh Griffiths as he was, and still is, a phenomenal striker and his love for our club is brilliant. He scored over 40 last season in the top league so would dominate this one, increase crowds and probably help develop Jason which is a great thing. Shame that it won't happen though

[JackLadd]

Griffiths of course.

[Big L]

Latapy, an unbelievable 1st touch, many great performances, especially in the 6-2 game.

[HoboHarry]

Latapy, an unbelievable 1st touch, many great performances, especially in the 6-2 game.
John O'Neil was brilliant that night as well.......

[WellingtonHibby]

Hkt

[Ray_]

Joe Baker from 1958. Colin Stein from !968 Peter Marinello from 1970. Pat from 1965-1975.

Peter Cormack 1970. Alex Cropley 1974 & John Brownlie 1972.

Manager, without question, Jock Stein 1965.

[esjorto]

Leigh now, Joe Baker then.

[Big90inOz]

Latapy, this side is crying out for someone who can take the ball surrounded by players and either beat them or make a telling pass.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Frank - absolutely class.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Alex Edwards
Alex Cropley
John Brownlie
Russell Latapy
Leigh
Liam

[hibsbollah]

Leigh is basically in the bag anyway, so I'd say Konte to play the big man to Leighs 'wee man'. Now the'bang the drum' charity work and film career are things of the past, he'll have more time to dedicate to his playing career :agree:

[Andy74]

I'd love to see where some of these names are playing currently?!

[fat freddy]

I'd love to see where some of these names are playing currently?!

your post prompted me to investigate the whereabouts of Junior Agogo, unfortunately it appears he was admitted to hospital after suffering a stroke in 2015. No info available on his current status.

[cmcd]

Willie Hamilton and Gordon Smith .No one could get the ball from them

[jacomo]

Has to be Leigh, he could score a goal out of nothing just like Riordan, pure class.

And often he had to!

[skankomcphee]

Derek Townsley when he was in his prime.

[DickieDastardly]

Amadou Konte.

Man got us into Europe :greengrin

Yip up top with Eduardo Hurtado...... :duck:

[Thecat23]

I see the express is running a story saying we want Kenny Miller in the summer! Wonder if there is anything in this?! 🤔

[ian cruise]

There's a poster on here who's pals with him, maybe he knows?

He's clueless!!

But I heard it was a done deal! I want my £10 PM money back..

Dylan McGeough :duck:

Gareth Evans ,used to get his complimentaries:agree:

[Phil MaGlass]

Three off the top of ma heid, Kenny Miller, John Collins , Leigh Griffiths

[JimBHibees]

Derek Townsley when he was in his prime.

Which minute was that. :greengrin

[Phil MaGlass]

Gareth Evans ,used to get his complimentaries:agree:
Ah complimentaries, confession time, many moons ago (30 odd yrs) during a visit to Tannadice, I acgually blagged 2 tickets from the ticket office saying Jackie Mac had left them for me, please bear in mind I was about 12 at the time , my mum and dad were unemployed and I used to sell my school dinner tickets and go hungry
so I could get to the games. Insert sad smiley
