It always feels fight when we have at least one in the squad. Could anyone name a decent starting XI of past red heads for hibs.

Wright and Doyle up front for me.

John Blackley had a bit of ginger in there. Chris Jackson.

Good to see Hibs fully signed up to a policy of diversity and equality of opportunity for the ginger community.

I am not sure. Hopefully one of the hibs net moderators can clarify if Jim would be acceptable choice for GK in our ginger XI. I really feel uncomfortable including him until we get some guidance on this matter.

If you go for a more adventurous 3-4-3 you can stick Simon Murray up front alongside Doyle and Wright which just leaves a keeper to find.

Lennon and McLeish as joint managers.

This is the worst example of hair-colourism I've ever come across. This thread should be closed.

:wink:

Btw, I see Murray has been dropped already. Can't even get a start in the Ginge team.

I think Lennon deserves to manage the team. He is more ginger. I would consider McLeish as a DoF though.

Does GOC not count as ginger?

He's been a few things IIRC.....

G B Young
30-05-2017, 09:50 AM
Martin Boyle is also a contender. We've probably got enough for a subs bench now.

As for a goalkeeper did Simon Brown have a reddish tinge to his hair? I'm also thinking Tommy Younger but not sure about that either.

If he is ginger he would push Doyle on to the bench IMHO. But Keith is safe.

Christ what is it with some fans...

Yes he didn't have the best of times here but he still made a pretty decent contribution once we got rid of Butcher

He played very very well in the 4-0 against Rangers

Simon Brown is borderline. I don't think Lennon would consider him committed enough to the cause. He could easily pass as strawberry blonde, and I think Lennon expects more than that. But I am happy to be corrected on this.

Simon Brown? GOALKEEPER?

Was he supposed to be a goalkeeper? :confused:



And PLEASE do NOT mention him in the same breath (so to speak) as the late, great Tommy Y.

I have it in my mind that Gordon Marshall may have been a bit gingery ....

He was a decent keeper.

Jim McArthur was a ginger before he became a graveyard blonde.

Jason gardner was ginger IIRC - pretty sure he was our 3rd choice keeper behind leighton and reid...not sure if he ever got a game.

There's some pictures of the late and very great Joe Baker on the Internet and in his earlier days I think he'd just meet the ginger standard? For this one anyway.

I'll never forget his game when he had dado prso completely in his back pocket. Was a shame he left.

Good shout on Gardiner. Definitely a reddish hair colour. Decent young keeper too...although apparently stabbed by an angry husband after being caught in an embrace with a married woman (just come across that story while trying to find out if he ever made a first team appearance!).

what other games did he play very very well in? Against part time Dumbarton when we won 6-3 and part time Stranraer when we won 5-3.

He was another who wasn't ginger though. Did a lot of folk used to wear orange sunglasses at games?

I'd definitely prefer playing with 10 than having Simon Brown between the sticks.

Or just give Liam Craig a pair of gloves and stick him in there.
