A really good article I can relate to.

only correction would be is he signed a pca with celtc in May as his contract ended December so left instead of being frozen out until then.

[I'm Spartacus]

He's done not too bad, but his potential was unbelievable. He has a monster house in Airth and other properties that provide him with an income. He still talks fondly of his crowd, the 'Pilton Derry'.

[GaryOsCheerios]

Am I remembering correctly that his Uncle used to post on here?

Or was that a wind up?

Pretty sure that was genuine.

Glad to hear that he is doing well him and Latapy are probably my two favourite Hibs players.

No arguments with anything written here !


Just one teeny-weeny, tiny, flaw - just a particular pet hate of mine.

Not him. I’ll let him reveal himself later, if he wants too😄
His cousin used to post years ago as well

[Northernhibee]

If we had a striker with the ability of Deek in his prime in this team we would be challenging for the league.

[Haymaker]

He'd still do a job for us.

[HibbyAndy]

Really enjoyed that :aok:

I had been wondering what he’s been doing with hinself. Not that it’s any of my business mind you but good to hear he’s not *****ed it all away.

Roundabout Tours.

You think?

[iwasthere1972]

He'd still do a job for us.

What job would that be?

[Haymaker]

You think?

100% :agree:

[Haymaker]

What job would that be?

Scoring goals.

[Billy Whizz]

What job would that be?

He coached Jason 2 summers ago, and did a great job I’d heard

A good read thanks for posting

[Irish_Steve]

Here here.

[Is It On....]

Could he still do a job for us 😎😎

[Hibrandenburg]

Athcsdajfu

I see what you did there.

[Haymaker]

Could he still do a job for us 😎😎

Yes.

[southsider]

Could he still do a job for us 😎😎

Yes, have him in 2 or 3 afternoons a week coaching our young strikers.

[GaryOsCheerios]

Thanks for reading and the feedback guys:hibees

[pacorosssco]

Really enjoyed article. Think finances at time made Hibs stall on making Deeks an offer and then a poor one when they did. Cost us a decent fee but was no money to spend, would also have seen demands for similar hikes from a squad flying high in league . We would have been in a bigger mess if golden generation hadnt come along and provide club with needed resource. He was a joy to watch but against the grain I dont think he had the tools to play at a higher level. You need supreme fitness strength and speed to play top level now. He didnt have these. Sitting bench at Celtic regressed him but it was a move and contract he couldnt refuse. I dont think its a coincidence Scott Brown looks a differnt player under Rodgers. Strachan turned a dynamic midfielder who created chances into half the player he was at Hibs. Riorden may have had a much differeant career if hed had a Rodgers type. We will never know. Wonder if story about Strachans daughter were true

On social side Riorden was also hounded unfairly by being a known face in a two team small city. Once press jumped on stories he had no chance.Was being reported by bitter Jambos everywhere he went. Gary Locke behaved like a grade A prick in town yet never made the press or got treatmeant Riorden got.

Your headline gets it right.

Scotland doesn’t produce enough good players. Being a talented prospect is not enough. Becoming a top player requires dedication and graft - for whatever reason, not enough Scottish players grasp this.

[I'm Spartacus]

One thing we are terrible at in Scottish football is producing goal scorers. We should have a SFA Striker School - specific to developing world class strikers, studying what has made the best, the best.

[3pm]

He coached Jason 2 summers ago, and did a great job I’d heard

Did Donald Park not get interviewed last year say he thought Derek would make a very good coach?

Bang on - look at Jordan Rhodes, he should have been Scotland's Shearer.

Anyway, Deek was class. O'Connor, Leigh & Deek. If these 3 had been a little bit more 'sensible' they could have been unplayable.

[Wilson]

Leigh is unplayable. Brendan Rodgers doesn't play him.

Love this article and Riordan was my favourite player in the early 2000's. Still have my hibs tops with his name on the back GGTTH

[Is It On....]

Yes, have him in 2 or 3 afternoons a week coaching our young strikers.

I agree actually...and one the most natural strikers I have ever seen at Hibs.

[KWJ]

Am I having a total blank here but who the **** was Darren Thomson? In the line up for the Partick game. Bit too early for Kevin was it not?

[The_Exile]

I think he only played 1 or 2 games for us before heading to Inverness.

[Sauzee16]

He wasn't a good prospect that I'm sure works as a plumber now. Nice guy. Was that Lambies last game as a manager?

[One Day]

I agree. Just watched his goals on utube

Wtf?

:confused:

[LithgaeHibby]

Wtf?

:confused:

1st: Anyone think he could still do a job for us?
2nd: Bring him home Lennon

These are time-honoured classics rolled out so often that there are now abbreviations for them!
