[The 90+2]

Shameful 😂😂😂😂😂 everyone should vote the Polar Bear.

[Keith_M]

Voted Alan Rough.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Goram for me.

[overdrive]

The photo collage they had on the Facebook post about it was hilarious. The only keeper they showed that would be anywhere near a shout for this was Budgie. Oxley, Makalambay, etc. :faf:

[AltheHibby]

I went for Conrad Logan because his impact was out of all proportion to the number of games he played. Otherwise, it would have been Jim Herriot.

[Diclonius]

I see the Hertz have hijacked the poll.

[Gloucester Hibs]

I see the Hertz have hijacked the poll.

Aye Zibi was sitting at 15%! :rolleyes:

Goram was winning it last I looked.

[BroxburnHibee]

Goram for me.

[Larry Burns]

Jim Leighton

[blaikie]

Logan purely for that semi final! We were well off the mark that day and he kept us in that game!

[DaveF]

Easy choice - Andy Goram.

[Michael]

Logan easily.

[danhibees1875]

Logan achieved the most and made the biggest impact in a short number of games. I'm not sure that equates to being the best though. But it's hard to ever not vote for Logan if he's an option. :greengrin

[cabbageandribs1875]

i think Andy Goram is possibly the best shot-stopper in my time, both Alan Rough and Jim Leighton were at the wrong end of their careers when they were here, neither let us down though, moreso Leighton, i can only just remember the likes of Jim McArthur/Jim Herriot/Thomson Allan/Mike McDonald(sp)



after actually looking at the list, was it graeme smith that ermm 'let us down' in the 6-6 game at fir park a few years back, i'm still convinced he chucked at least one in even though he accidently saved a penalty :cb

[AltheHibby]

Aye Zibi was sitting at 15%! :rolleyes:

How do you see the current position?

[hibbycraig]

Jim McArthur for that tache

A really tough choice but went for roughie for his incredible heroics in keeping us up with crap teams. Leighton was magnificent for us and Goram was so consistent. Only budgie and Daniel Andersson come close to those three IMHO.

Logan is a legend for his cup heroics. However, folk seem to gloss over his bad mistakes in the Falkirk play-off game at ER. He could have cost us promotion that season. Nowhere near our best keeper for me.

[Galahibby]

Goram's the best, by a mile. Conrad is my favourite though, for obvious reasons.

[BILLYHIBS]

The Goalie! :greengrin

I see the Hertz have hijacked the poll.No surprise there, the EEN will have set it up to give them the chance.

Maybe we should set up a separate poll.

He could have let in 10 goals a match in his other games as far as I am concerned. Scottish Cup hero! :)

In what way? Goram played almost 150 games for us.

Goram was exceptional for us in a piss-poor side, and had already earned Scotland caps before he left for Rangers?

Should've been Scotland's number 1 for Italia 90 but we went with a confidence-shot Jim Leighton instead.

[BILLYHIBS]

How do you get that? He played 138 games for us AND scored a goal!!

Goram for me and then Budgie for just being a character.

"James" SandisonThey certainly didn't care who they crapped on, anyway back to the favourite Hibs related goalkeeper thread, I can't believe the EEN missed Ken Garland off.

Logan wasn't the best, but he was the most important.

Think it was his competitive debut as well

[BILLYHIBS]

Peter Cormack played a few games in goals :greengrin

[hibby6270]

They've missed out Roy Baines.

Yeah strange that, considering they’ve included Thomson Allan and Gordon Marshall, who were a year or two before Roy Baines. All 3 just on the cusp of the 50 year period.

Other possible(?) “notable” omissions - Cammy Bell, Ross Laidlaw, Tony Caig, Bryan Gunn, Chris Reid, Robin Rae and finally the Jekyll & Hyde of recent keepers - Scottish Cup legend who made his debut in the QF Replay and also the guy who effectively ‘lost’ us the Brondby Europa League tie - I give you ..............Otso Virtanen

Also a keeper who has a “100% record” with us but was nevertheless pivotal in getting ScottAllan back to the club. No goals against but then again no games played either but likely to win a Premiership Medal this season - Scott Bain. Don’t think he counts though, does he? :confused:

[PaulSmith]

Its not really, Goram was outstanding for Hibs for nigh on 3 years. Some of the best saves and performances I’ve ever seen were watching him playing for Hibs.

sadly his memory at Hibs is tainted by moving to Rangers and becoming a Loyalist ****bag.. the guy had the potential to be the best keeper in the world (some would argue that he did achieve this over a short period whilst at Ibrox)

Agree with this

I went to Italia 90 and was under no doubt Andy Goram was world class and could not believe it when Jim Leighton was selected ahead of him particularly as at that time Leightons club form was not that great

Leighton was Gorams nemesis when it came to the Scotland goalkeeping position

Goram got the gloves for Euro 96 and performed admirably but walked out on Scotland 15 days before the opening game of France 98 when told Leighton would be first choice :confused:

Morten Hyldegaard. For a keeper the width of him he didn’t half let shots go right through him...

How many games did he actually play - if any? I can’t remember much about him at all tbh.

[jaf]

Another vote for Goram, he was unbelievable at times and wasnt big for a keeper.

Was at his debut against dunfermline (4-0) and the game against morton where he scored.

[Crammond Hibee]

Andy GORAM for me

[Dunbar Hibee]

I really liked Nick Colgan for some reason.

Must be Romanov bounce a cheque?

Took on 35 million pound of original outstanding hearts debt before transferring it into his care that would have liquidated them and turned it into something near 100 million that was later written off by the just wow Lithuianian Government when his whole crooked empire went tits up.

Jackanory/Teatime Tales couldn't have written a better one.

Didn't he officially try to claim at the time he didn't want to take the chance of getting injured at the World Cup 1990 as he was trying to get a new club as his contract with the old Rangers had expired.

Unofficially stories were swirling about that he had a serious drinking problem (which he had), was involved with terrorist organisations (which he was) as well as the usual kiss and tell tittle tattle (which he did) hence Leighton got the nod even though on the field Goram shades it.

There was a quote at the time that "he wasn't in right frame of mind" which gave rise to the "Two Andy Goram's" song.

A horrible man anyway who was quoted in his autobiography saying he hated Hibs fans as
"the worst fans" and even Zibi deserves a vote ahead of that dreadful creature.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

It would be frightening how good he would be without a drink problem.

What a keeper.

:aok:

Agree with all of this

It all sounds vaguely familiar

Remember at the time stories of old co paying off his gambling debts cash blah blah blah!

Regardless of the fact that he turned into a Hun Bassa overnight based on goalkeeping ability alone he is still the finest goalkeeper I have seen at Easter Road in over fifty years of watching HIBS

Yes I agree perhaps not the ideal role model

I found his attitude towards HIBS strange especially after all we had done to boost his career and increase his profile and also the fact that his father played for HIBS in goal

His Hun love in only surpassed by Jason Cummings

:sick:

Aye. A cock-up by Leighton v Brazil ultimately put us out? A draw would’ve been good enough I think?

If 400,000 people are voting him, then no surprise he will win it

The EEN website is always vastly filled with yams anyways, therefore not surprised that they’ve apparently hijacked this Hibs poll

[BILLYHIBS]

Keekback running a Zibi thread they reckon they got him up to 16%

A couple of sensible votes for Budgie and Goram :confused:

Other threads are Comedy Central

They reckon they do not play hoofball

The number of passes they make along their own 18 yard line eliminates that stat

I have never heard of half of the fringe players they are wittering on about

They are over the moon that they cost us fourth place yesterday probably correct

They're just gutted that Hibs goalkeeping mistakes in derbies have mysteriously disappeared since they stopped being financially doped.

[Wilson]

Darren Jackson went in goal when Leighton got injured against Celtic. Jackson is a better goalie than Zibi.

We actually played for a spell with no goalkeeper in that game. Jackson went in goals whilst Leighton went to get stitches, Leighton came back to the touchline and Jackson gave him his top and gloves back. The ref then restarted the game but didn't wave Leighton back on so he was standing at the side of the park, Jackson was back up front and we had no goalkeeper.

I think the no goalkeeper may have been better than Zibi when it came to derbies.
