Cheers, Marvin and all the best.

A wholehearted player, not the greatest technically but he always put in a shift for the Hibees! :flag:

[Blaster]

Best wishes Marvin

[Diclonius]

Thanks for four great years Marvin, especially for those derby performances. You'll be missed.

The big question going forward: is it the Matty Jack role or the Marvin Bartley role? :dunno:

[Bostonhibby]

A guy who really got the club and the fans, owned the hearts physically and that's saying something.

I'm kind of gutted he's going but it's understandable if he wants game time.

Nothing but great memories of the guy. All the best Marvin.

And thus departs another hero from that day in May... :boo hoo:

His mere presence on the bench struck the fear of God into those weegie savages....

McGregor, Gray, Stevenson, Hanlon and Boyle are all that remain. The new famous five, enjoy them while they are here.

[Northernhibee]

Thank you Marvin.

[Pretty Boy]

A huge part in changing the mentality at the club. Hearts fans hated him because he stood up to them and bullied them in derbies.

He solved a problem that had existed for us for a long while and he did it with genuine enthusiasm and passion for the club. He goes with my best wishes and thanks.

[Vini1875]

Always loved Marvin, maybe not the most technically gifted, but the heart of a lion and every team needs that. He'll always be a Hibby. :flag:

[Mainstandman]

if we get a penalty against Aberdeen he has to take it.

[Stuart93]

Surely will get a bit of time on Sunday? A hibs legend, sad to see him go!

[CentreLine]

Look forward to his getting a great send off on Sunday.

[Vault Boy]

Thanks Marv, an absolute warrior for us. 💚

[Hibernianinc]

if we get a penalty against Aberdeen he has to take it.

Absolutely!

Hibs hero. Bossed herts like far too few in green have done.

[Sir David Gray]

Genuine thanks go to him for being a big part of the club being reborn. He is forever a legend and as others have said his performances in the derby were outstanding and something we had missed against them for a very long time.

I'm currently on holiday and will miss the game on Sunday but I'm gutted I won't be there for his final appearance.

Good luck for the future Marvin.

[J-C]

Not the most gifted but knew what beating Hearts was all about, thanks for your efforts.

[The 90+2]

Thank you Marv. Top guy who gave us brilliant service.

Welcome back anytime mate and good luck.

[sauzee=legend]

Thank you Marv,
You’re so much better than that ****** Paul Hartley!!!!

[weecounty hibby]

I do not have a single negative word to say about Marv. Loved him playing for us, effort, commitment, enthusiasm, and affection for the club never ever in doubt. All the best big man for whatever happens in your future

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Tremendous contributor to the club, best wishes Marv!

[Slavers]

Thanks big Marv all the best with your new adventure.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Love big Marv, Livvie have got themselves a great player. Thanks for all the memories big man.

[Seveno]

Goodbye and thanks, Marvin. You have been a great servant to the club and you will always be in our hearts.

[Since452]

Genuinely sad to hear that but probably for the best, for both parties. He can forever call himself a Hibs legend and will always be welcomed back to Easter Road. We run this city.

[Carheenlea]

More than played his part during what was a great few years at Hibs, and it wasn’t just his physical presence and midfield spoiler style of play that endeared him to the fans, it was more the fact he totally got Hibs.
A solid professional and one who will always be welcomed at Easter Road for the rest of his days.

[matty_f]

Gutted to see him go, absolutely love the guy. I don't have a single bad word to say about him, never let us down and was utterly fearless.

Best of luck, Marvin.

[kevo1875]

Thank you big man been a pleasure watching u in a hibs jersey...cheers for everything ..we run this city ggtth

[Onion]

Great servant to Hibs and will forever be associated with the squad of players that did the impossible.

Wish Marvin all the best.

[Scouse Hibee]

His farewell video shows how much the club means to him and how much support he received through some difficult times. Best wishes to him, always welcome back to ER.

[lord bunberry]

Genuinely gutted to see him go. I hope we get a penalty on Sunday and he takes it. Thanks for everything big man.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Best wishes for the future big man. Great memories.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Hibs scottish cup winning legend ... will be sorely missed

[B.H.F.C]

The right time for him to move on. A three year deal at premiership level, at his age, is good for him as well.

Been a big part of the club. All the best Marv.

[hibsbollah]

I dont think ive ever seen a more heartfelt Hibs farewell interview than that. There has been the occasional player that for some reason has just 'got' us as a club. For every Matt Docherty there's a guy like Fonts or Marv, who gave his all for us as well as finding some sort of emotional connection with the club. Its like Benji's tears on his last day. They just connected.

And he never, EVER, let his opponent get the better of him in a derby.

[HIGHLANDLEITHER]

Loved watching Marv covering a lot of ground and “easing” the opposition off the ball. Did a huge amount of work in midfield. Hope he does well at Livi, just not against us.

[kentao]

Big Marv was a great servant to the club and knew his limitations. I will always remember him for breaking up a 3 on 1 attack from Alloa. Alloa were attacking down the right towards the FF end with 2 players splitting through the middle and somehow Marv managed to win the ball. the game finished 3 - 0 and my first goal scorer and scoreline came up that day so THANK YOU :)

[kaimendhibs]

Good luck Marvin. All the best

Marvin Bartley, Hibernian Scottish Cup winner and legend.

Wishing him the very best of luck, health and happiness.

GGTTH

[Saint Hibee]

Big Marv owns the Jambos!

[Smartie]

Love the guy and I think we'll miss him in several ways.

We were under the cosh at times in the 2 derbies on the way to the Scottish Cup win, and his battling qualities helped drag us through both of those games and for that I will be eternally grateful.

Best of luck big man.

[EskbankHibby]

Love the big man, one of my favourite players of recent times.

All the best Marv.

[HappyAsHellas]

Sad to see him go but wish him all the best for the future.

[Dublin07]

All the best Marv. Gave your all and owned the jambos. Was outstanding in the semi against Dundee UTD which is forgotten a bit because of how good the polar bear was that day. Cup winning legend.

[Lago]

Thanks for four great years Marvin, especially for those derby performances. You'll be missed.

The big question going forward: is it the Matty Jack role or the Marvin Bartley role? :dunno:
Oh it's Matty for me, !oved the guy, his performance against Rangers in a game at ER was outstanding.!!

[iwasthere1972]

Thanks for the memories Marv. Hope you do well at Livi.

[Zazu62]

Cracking signing by Livi btw

[Smartie]

Cracking signing by Livi btw

He's very good at what he does and has years in him yet.

A brilliant signing for Livi.

[DaveF]

An all round good bloke. Good luck with Livi and you can be absolutely certain that the green half of Edinburgh will always be on your side.

[O'Rourke3]

Loved the guy and sorry to see him go. Excellent farewell video too. Going to be tough seeing him turn out against us next year too but in all other respects good luck for the future Bartman. It's been a blast.

[hibby67]

Always a sad day when one of your favourites leave the club .. but he goes with my best wishes for the future
thanks for the memories

[HibeesLittleHel]

This definately needs a rousing rendition of
the “Marvin Bartley” song by all of us on Sunday!

Marvin Bartley
Marvin Bartley
So much better than that chap* Paul Hartley!
Marvin Bartley

* = the wee man will be with me so no swearies from me 😇

[Jonnyboy]

Players come and players go. Some make their mark and others don’t. Marv certainly made his mark and he’ll always be a legend in my eyes

[J-C]

Just watched the 2 videos, he really got Hibs and again is shows that as a club we seem to get under the players skin and they have this affection and affinity to us, looks like he'll be a big loss in the dressing room too but playing for Livi, his friendships are not over.

[My_Wife_Camille]

A Hibernian legend in every sense of the word

[BurghHibby]

All the best big man, hope you have a ‘niggling injury” whenever Livvie are due to play the Hibs!

[jax67]

Thanks for the memories Bartman, best wishes to you.💚👌

[cabbageandribs1875]

missing you already Marv:boo hoo:

[Diclonius]

So... Are we all agreed that Porteous gets #6 next season?

[One Day]

Good Luck Big man

[Mr Grieves]

Gutted he's leaving but it's probably for the best

[jakedance]

Best of luck to him. Very much has the right attitude towards what needs doing when playing against Hearts. I like him.

[HoboHarry]

So... Are we all agreed that Porteous gets #6 next season?
Aye, but at a Championship in exchange for 3 million hopefully :greengrin

[Hibbyradge]

:boo hoo:

[Tarrahib]

Aye, but at a Championship in exchange for 3 million hopefully :greengrin
No club will want to buy Porteous until he proves he is fit and can replicate his performances prior to his injury.

[Malthibby]

Legend. Good luck Marv.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

Hope his body holds up to playing on that pitch every other week.

[beensaidbefore]

Genuinely sad to hear that but probably for the best, for both parties. He can forever call himself a Hibs legend and will always be welcomed back to Easter Road. We run this city.

Couldn't put it better. Sad to see him leave. Hopefully we see him back one day, maybe in a coaching role.

[Marvellous]

Helped install some swagger, steel and pride in our club when we were at rock bottom, a colossus.

Good luck, and thank you, you absolute legend.

Thanks Marvin - your skill, professionalism and commitment to Hibernian FC has been exemplary.


:not worth :not worth :not worth

[hfc rd]

Gutted to see him leave but I guess it is best for all parties.

Will always be a Hibs legend!

All the best Marvin!

[MSK]

Aw the best cup legend 👍

[Ryan91]

I'll miss the big "powerhorse" that is Big Marv.

[The_Horde]

Legend.

Always felt we missed a trick not using 'the hustle' as his sing though.

Do the Bartman do do do do do do do do

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Will it be ok for a grown man to greet his eyes out on Sunday?

All the very best big man, Hibs legend.

[Roxyhibee]

Been supporting Hibs for 55 years and Marvin Bartley is one of the most popular players I’ve witnessed with our fans - for all the right reasons. Great reader of the game, created space for others and always gave 100%. Must have been great playing alongside him in charged games like derbies.

Classy player and classy person.

Thanks Marvin. All the very best.

[Hibs90]

What a guy.

Forever known as the Marvin Bartley role now. Don't care what anyone says.

[Cabbage East]

What a player he has been for us. I’ll genuinlely miss the guy as he’s also sound as ****. Hope it goes well for him at Livi.

[GreenCastle]

Gutted he’s leaving.

Even if he didn’t start you knew you had a winner coming on.

He played the Matty Jack role and made it his own - we basically need a new Bartley type player.

I wish him all the best - what a guy and professional and he loved beating the Hearts / plus part of 2016 will always be a legend.

Will get a massive send off on Sunday!

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

All the best Marv, absolute legend.

[Greencore]

Legend and gave his all to Hibernian.

Hope to see him back here again one day as a coach.

[Deansy]

Sad but honoured that he played for us - many, many, thanks for that day in May 2016 ! Extra special thanks for the derby-games - you hit your target in every game !

[Sammy7nil]

A huge part in changing the mentality at the club. Hearts fans hated him because he stood up to them and bullied them in derbies.

He solved a problem that had existed for us for a long while and he did it with genuine enthusiasm and passion for the club. He goes with my best wishes and thanks.

Hear Here :aok:

[Since452]

Never felt choked up on hearing a player was leaving before until today. Says it all about Marv really. Don't need to say any more.

[Hibernia&Alba]

All the very best to him with Livi. A top class guy to have around.

[Bishop Hibee]

Always gave 100% and appreciated playing in the green jersey. Cup winning hero. Thanks for the memories Marv :hibees

[Kaff]

Good luck Marv.
Right man for us at the time he joined, part of the reason club started believing in itself again

[Power]

One of the biggest (and best) personalities we’ve had at Easter Road.

He has captained Hibs at Tynecastle and won in the other this season. His record against them is nearly Sauzee-esq.

The roof would lift off if he managed to depart with a goal.

[Waxy]

Thanks Marvin and all the best at Livi.

[mutley]

All the best Marv, the derby will not be the same without you

All good things come to an end.

He leaves with my thanks and best wishes.

[Stantons Angel]

So sad to see him go a true professional and great ambassador for the club. He really got Hibs and never let them down.

Thanks Marvin for all the great memories and moments in that Hibs jersey you wore so proudly.

Good luck for the future, you will always be welcome at Easter Road and known as a Hibs Legend.

Keep smiling !

[Bobby's Cinema]

Will always be remembered.

One of my favourite players over the last few years all the best :aok:

[The Spaceman]

Absolute legend who will always hold the love and affection of us Hibs supporters.

He "got" the club and was integral in rebuilding us from the depths we were in.

Thank you Marv and all the best at Livi - great news for him getting a 3 year deal that hopefully sets him up nicely for the future.

Always welcome back at Easter Road with open arms :not worth

[neil7908]

Really gutted to see him go but it's best for both of parties.

He'll be welcome at Easter Road any time.

[erin-go-bragh87]

Gutted. What’s the odds his first goal at Easter road is for Livingston?

[calamitus]

A great player to have for the games that needed a bit of steel. Marv could be a hard man to replace.

[gazzag70]

So sad to see Marv go. He really gave us a solid steel backbone when we absolutely needed it most, his performances and attitude against the ****bos will long be remembered. A cup winning LEGEND! Welcome forever!

[Criswell]

Hearts supporters hated him; for good reason. Put in some awesome performances against them. Really sad to hear he's going. A class act!

[1875STEVE]

An absolute legend.

A machine in the middle of the park, he let the more gifted players play.

He squeezed one hell of a lot into 4 years

Scottish Cup Winner
Championship Title Winner
League Cup Final
Numerous Semi Finals
Europe
Derby giant :flag:

Love you big man, gutted youre going, only good thing is we will see you back. :aok:

[Hibeewilly]

All the best Marv.....a great servant to the Hibees and a great bloke. Good luck

[Shrekko]

Couldn’t have dreamt what he would be to the club when he signed. Presence, passion and personality as well as being pretty under rated as a player at times. Almost universally popular with Hibs fans which is very difficult to achieve.

Sunday could be a bit of a choker.

[Squealing pig]

Good luck Marv , classy interview

[ajf]

Marvin Bartley , pure class .

[NAE NOOKIE]

All the very best to him, a genuine cup legend and did as much as anybody to restore the club's dignity after the debacle that got us relegated. Love the big guy, he'll always be welcome at Easter Road :not worth

PS … Lots of folk hoping we get a penalty on Sunday an Marv takes it, me included …. he'll probably miss :greengrin

[Since452]

Could be the difference to them staying up. Terrific signing for them.

Marvin Bartley derby record:

Played: 10
Won: 5
Drawn: 4
Lost: 1

And the winning goal in his only loss was scored after he had been substituted.
