Fantastic news, legend

[.Sean.]

It’s not inconceivable he could end up being at the top of the appearances list by the time he retires, he’s already near the top 10.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Delighted with that. If he sees out that contract he’ll have been involved in 16 seasons with the first team [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

Great news.

Was just thinking that.

Who currently tops the list with the highest number of appearances?

Should probably know that but I’m guessing Joe Baker or Lawrie Reilly?

Gordon Smith with 636. He’d need to play nearly every game until he’s 34/35 to reach that. He’s 12 games away from knocking Erich Schaedler out the top 10 and by the end of next season he could be in the top 5.

off the top of my head Arthur Duncan.

Don't think Joe Baker played that many.

Gordon Smith with 636. He’d need to play nearly every game until he’s 34/35 to reach that.

Really, I’m surprised at that as he played for Dundee and Hearts as well didn’t he? (If I’m wrong and he never played for Hearts I’ll need to hang my head in shame)

I would have thought Stanton as well but again his time at Celtic I would have thought may have pushed him down the list.

Would Gordon Rae be up there too or am I imagining that?

Anywhere I can see the top 10?

Just edited my post to include the list 👍🏼 Although I’m not sure how reliable it is. Gordon Smith apparently made 300 odd league appearances but 600 overall...

[Sir David Gray]

It’s not inconceivable he could end up being at the top of the appearances list by the time he retires, he’s already near the top 10.

He'll certainly come close but he needs over 200 more appearances to be at the top. With him being 31 in January, he might be pushing it a bit.

Still delighted with this news.

[Sean1875]

My hero.

[Bostonhibby]

Good news. Another Mr Hibs, great professional and an example to any kids coming through.

Fantastic 💚

[McIntosh]

It is amazing to think that Lewis is the most successful Hibs player as a Hibs player in winning honours in the last 60 years. 2 major and one minor and hopefully more to come.

[My_Wife_Camille]

Absolutely brilliant news. One of the most underrated and under appreciated players in the country.

[matty_f]

Very happy with this news, Lewis is a great guy and a cracking player.

[Northernhibee]

An all time great of the club.

Though it was Arthur, could be wrong.

Check out this website. The Hibs info is very good.

Lewis has had a fantastic career at Hibs and I think he’s had the best years these past few seasons. He’s the epitome of hard work, skill and dedication.

I’ve never met the man, but by all accounts he is a thoroughly decent guy. I’m delighted that he has signed up again, no one deserves it more than Lewis.

[bigwheel]

Has signed an extension until 2021. Great news [emoji106][emoji2533]

Great news. Love the guy !

[wookie70]

Hope he sees out his football career at Hibs and continues on in a coaching role. He is playing consistently at a high level and clearly looks after himself. If Strachan etc can play a high energy game well into their 30s then no reason Lewis can't. Some good news after a poor week last week.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Well done to him; a true Hibs man :agree:

[J-C]

Superb news, so rare to get a 1 club player and his attitude and professionalism epitomises what we want from a club legend, very happy with this. Also good to see the club getting signings like this and some youngsters done nice and early instead of late on in their contracts.

[Souter96Mac]

Assuming he plays the majority of the games for the next couple of seasons, this will surely put him up there maybe top 5 appearances for the club! What a legend, fully deserved of his contact.

[Allant1981]

what was the minor?

[IWasThere2016]

I think what also is forgotten is how many managers have given him new deals... I doubt he has ever had more than a 2-year deal (maybe his first?!?)

[Weegreenman]

I’ve been a critic of Lewis in years gone by. He’s always been a solid reliable player but in terms of adding to his game in the way of an attacking threat, I always thought we could have brought in a more forward thinking type to give him competition. I’m not saying I ever wanted shot of him, far from the case. I’ve always appreciated the job he does and as he’s matured I’m happy to admit he’s only got better and he’s even added to that part of his game that I thought was lacking. He does seem to be an ever present though and hasn’t had much in the the way of competition for a place over all those years, we’ll thats the way it seems anyway. Very happy he’s signed an extension, absolute legend and such a nice guy. ��

[G15 Hibs]

what was the minor?

I imagine McIntosh means the 2016/17 SPFL Championship

[Ozyhibby]

Great news. Extremely consistent players and I don’t think he has even had a runny nose in his career.

[Sir David Gray]

Are players allowed a double testimonial if they reach 20 years of service?

[G15 Hibs]

He really has been through it all, hasn't he? If he was to write the story of his career it would encompass all the highs and lows of being involved with Hibs. There probably isn't a period that is quite an indicative of the rollercoaster of following our club.

[scoopyboy]

Could even go a wee bit further, played in three Scottish Cup finals and two League Cup finals.

I don't think anyone can grump at his new deal, his service to the club has been exemplary and is a role model for any young professional to follow. He gets warmed up for training long before others even turn up and is a great guy.

However, I would have to say that I hope Hibs sign another quality player to take over from Lewis. This isn't knocking him it's merely saying it's a position we need strengthening.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Well deserved. Great servant.

[The 90+2]

Well deserved, Mr Hibernian.

We've kicked every ball with him. Great career at Hibs. Long may it continue.

[CMurdoch]

Pleased for him more than anything else.
Makes the best of his talent by working as hard as possible and is never injured.
Phenomenal.

[Stantons Angel]

So pleased for my Bairn and well done Hibs.!

[Northernhibee]

His eventual send off should be mega. Sold out stadium, name the training centre after him so every player who trains with us know what’s expected of a model professional.

In terms of club legend status for me he’s up with Stanton, Reilly, Turnbull etc.

[04Sauzee]

I bump into him quite often in Dunfermline, and when i'm with my boy on a Sunday playing football as he coaches his Kids team. A nicer guy you could never meet and he takes an interest in my boy. Plus he's a model professional and a fantastic footballer.

[The 90+2]

So pleased for my Bairn and well done Hibs.!

I love your son Mrs Stevenson 😀

[007]

Great news, delighted for Lewis. Plenty of time for him to win another couple of trophies.

[Blaster]

Could even go a wee bit further, played in three Scottish Cup finals and two League Cup finals.

Agree with that last part too J

[Seveno]

Brilliant news. Lewis has always given his best for the club and works hard to improve his game. His consistency is quite incredible and level fitness unsurpassed.

The term legend can be a bit overused but Lewis qualifies on every count.

[Stantons Angel]

I love your son Mrs Stevenson 😀

Ha Ha, not as much as i love him!

[Keith_M]

That's fantastic.

Lewis and PH are the mainstays of our squad and we're lucky to have them.

[Keith_M]

Ha Ha, not as much as i love him!


I bet a few of us could give you a real run for your money, though, Mrs Stevenson :wink:

I have met him and chatted with him on the street and can confirm that he is indeed a thoroughly decent guy and modest to boot.

[Hi Heid Yin]

The epitomy of a professional footballer and a joy to witness.
The guy is without question a legend and I'm so pleased to see him being rewarded for his 100% effort, fight, consistency and commitment to the Hibs cause.
He is a minimum default 7 every game.
:flag::flag:

He's had plenty of competition, just over the last 6-7 years, no one has been able to best him over an extended period of time.

He needs 618 to break into the top 3 of all time appearances (P. Stanton on 617) a further 195 appearances - unless we go deep into both cup competitions and European competition, I can't see that happening.

I hope he is here as long as he wants though and fingers crossed he manages to add another medal or two before he retires.:thumbsup:

[The Harp Awakes]

Well deserved. Mr dependable.

[Here’s Lucy!]

Love Mr Hibs :flag:

When was the last time hibs went abroad and it didn't end up in a poor run afterwards or something kicking off behind closed doors?

An all time great of the club.

[Ronniekirk]

Excellent News Fully deserved and Lennon giving him a huge vote of confidence

[KDY Hibs]

Has signed an extension until 2021. Great news 👍🏼

Hibernian legend, achievements won't fully be recognised until he is in retirement.....

[Eyrie]

Well deserved.

Yet another manager recognises how good a player Stevenson is.

[.Sean.]

When the time comes and he calls time on his playing career I hope he gets the recognition he deserves. I think naming the training centre after him would be fitting, as his dedication, application and attitude is something every youngster who walks through the door there should aspire to.

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

:agree: The laddie has a tremendous character. Saw the lows, silenced the critics and reaped the rewards.

A true Hibernian legend. Hope he stays on at the club after finishes his playing career.

[SquashedFrogg]

:confused: On a Lewis signs new contract thread??

Why?

Because he is an attention seeking end bell. Every post is the same. Scary to think these people exist in amongst normal humans.

Back on thread. Stevenson epitomises the result of hard work, talent and an all around great attitude to life. Love him.

Well deserved, Mr Hibernian.

A reward for hard work and dedication

Absolutely. He's the only Hibs player in the club's history to have won both the League Cup and the Scottish Cup.

That alone gives him legendary status.

[worcesterhibby]

Interestingly, he has played considerably more matches against hearts than any other opponent. 37 matches against hearts...next most is Rangers at 25.

Ha Ha, not as much as i love him!

Here’s to you Mrs Stevenson, your boy Lewy plays the hibee way, hey hey hey 💚

[The 90+2]

A reward for hard work and dedication

Yep. And of having a good footballing brain and never letting anyone down ever.

He surely must be Kirkcaldys greatest export? What a guy.

Good call mate. I really hope he continues picking up his coaching badges too - he could make it to the very top.

2021 is a weird way to spell “For life”

Honest question which may have been answered before, who did he support growing up? Makes absolutely no difference to my opinion of him just interested

Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he supported his local team and didn’t hitch on some glory hunting band wagon. Not that it matters, even if he supported Hearts. God, the boy is just a total legend. Love him to bits.
