:not worth that’s brilliant

That is class

[The 90+2]

Tears again :greengrin

[Captain Trips]

He goes down as one of the all time greats and we saw him.

[Moulin Yarns]

Tears again :greengrin

Me too. Not sure if I can use the excuse of chopping onions.

[Jim44]

....... and I’m sure he’ll still prefer it to the eventual photo of him lifting the FA Cup for one of the big English clubs.

[McIntosh]

He goes down as one of the all time greats and we saw him. Quoted for truth. A true, true legend, in the Pantheon 🏛 of Hibs greats.

[surreyhibbie]

superb!

got something in my eye now...

again :thumbsup:

[Gloucester Hibs]

Surely a future inductee to the Hibernian Hall of Fame? Greatest Hibs player I've seen in my lifetime.

[The 90+2]

....... and I’m sure he’ll still prefer it to the eventual photo of him lifting the Champions League trophy for one of the big English clubs.

Fixed 😉

[NAE NOOKIE]

Brilliant, if for nothing else it will remind folk all over the UK that Hibs and Scottish football in general actually exists.

As for SJM himself ... A legend pure and simple who quite clearly will never forget where he came from, be that St Mirren or Hibs no matter how far he goes in the game.

[Since452]

Something in my eye

[Sir David Gray]

One of my favourite ever players.

[Pilrig_Sauzee]

The man is proof that it’s possible to be a modern football player and a decent human being. Used to sing the McGinn song to get my daughter to sleep in her cot.

[murray26]

I love this man end off 💚💚

[Oscar T Grouch]

I'm not crying, you're crying
#awkwardworkmoments

[Pretty Boy]

McGinn just seems like a really nice, decent guy. Even if he hadn't played for Hibs I still think he's the type of player I'd want to see doing well down in England.

[HoboHarry]

Idiots at the BBC won't allow it to be played outwith the UK. Honestly, to stop what?

[midfield_maestro]

I saw him walking down the road with a pal in Bearsden, not long after the cup win. I had to be restrained by my wife from running out of the restaurant we we were in to go and fangirl him.

[ben johnson]

Sunshine on Leith belting out at Hampden
Imagine being a Rangers player listening to
that belting out as you lay on a stretcher in the battlefield clearing station in the bowels of Hampden
All wishing their ambulance would hurry up and get them
away from that din.

There is a clip of the cup final..they probably don't have the rights to show it outside UK

[jeffers]

I've seen more talented players in a Hibs jersey (very few mind) but in terms of ability, work ethic and drive I'm struggling to think of any better. Added to that he's a genuinely nice, down to earth guy. We were lucky to have him, a true Hibs legend who deserves everything he is getting.

[The Harp]

The legend that is John McGinn. What a man! So grateful he graced the Easter Road turf for the length of time he did. Deserves all the success that's coming his way.

[HoboHarry]

There is a clip of the cup final..they probably don't have the rights to show it outside UK
I get that but they need to get that nonsense sorted in these social media days. It was three years ago and the cup final can be found on YouTube any time someone wants to watch it again. It's absurd.....

[Alex Trager]

Superb.

Will give the cup final/club some exposure down there when it is aired

[hughio]

Manlove:boo hoo:

British tv license?

:not worth"Watch the full interview on Football Focus, Saturday at 12.00 GMT on BBC One and BBC iPlayer"

To paraphrase, Jimmy Cricket...there's more!!!

[HoboHarry]

British tv license?
I can read the news on the BBC every day.....

[Liam89]

The player that could singlehandedly turn the flow of a game around just by using his arse. What a player he is. The way he'd make surging runs with the ball just when we needed him to.

Best arse* since Kenny Dalglish?

That’s allowed. You’re not allowed to watch bbc iPlayer or tv without a tv license.

Me too 😭

Indeed, and the BBC aren't allowed to advertise. Allegedly.

[weecounty hibby]

I miss him. My favourite player in 46 years of attending ER. Disclaimer, too young to really remember Pat Stanton playing.

👍 fair point, can’t you just VPN in from Britain?

[660]

God I miss him. That cup win, that goal at Ibrox, that goal in Greece. A true legend who deserves everything that is going to inevitably come his way.

[TrapperJohn]

:not worth
Legend. Wonder where that ball went?

[Glory Lurker]

It’s the goal in Greece that gets me. He was away, but he gave that game as much as any other. A complete professional. He will just go higher and higher, and we helped set him up for that*. Boundless pride!

* - So did St Mirren. Fair’s fair. :greengrin

[Cardinal G]

Same here, older fans talk of Stanton with a reverence that I'm sure we will continue to hold SJM in for decades to come. Very pleased that he spent time with us, was a pleasure to watch, genuine living legend who gave all for the shirt,Not sure we will see his like again.

Feel like a proud dad seeing him progress in England, beleive that he can get better still and will play at a higher level yet, be it with Arsenal Man United or even Liverpool, he has all the attributes to be that good.

[kaimendhibs]

Utter legend. My fave Hibs player after Pat Stanton [emoji172][emoji172][emoji122][emoji122]

I wonder where he'll go next.

[theonlywayisup]

Great video to watch. Legend and such a nice guy.

[BILLYHIBS]

On Football Focus today

[HendoDelivered]

Miss you 😭

[Scottiedog007]

Interview on at 1230

[Jones28]

Coming on next!

[hibee-boys]

If there was ever a modern day player for any up and coming professional footballer to model themself on it is this man. A credit to his family and a fantastic ambassador for every club he has respresented. I'll continue to follow his career like a proud father and be extremely thankful that he was on our side on my greatest day as a Hibs fan.

[tanfield]

That was very pleasant viewing! 😀

[thegaffer12]

Took every opportunity to talk very well about his time at Hibs. Says he often sees fans in the crowd down south wearing Hibs tops

[we are hibs]

Good bit with mcginn. Shame about that Richards. "You only ever see celtic and rangers. Sometimes aberdeen" :rolleyes:

[Mcpakeisgod]

One bloody thing I hate about living in Melbourne is missing things like this !! Missed the Lewis Stevenson one a few weeks back as well

[Hibee Mac]

And Andy Murray talking up Hibs a bit at the end, a good showing for the club today! Predicts a 2-0 win for Hibs today 👌

[Jones28]

It’s not his fault that’s all you see as an English tv viewer.

[Iggy Pope]

Richards also remarked that he thought SJM was a 40 or 50 million pound player......

[Since452]

Even the most die hard Jambo would struggle not to like McGinn. One of the good guys in football

[Sir David Gray]

It’s not his fault that’s all you see as an English tv viewer.

They surely see the same Scottish football as we do. Apart from Sportscene, they have the same Sky and BT subscriptions in England as we do in Scotland.

[hibee_girl]

Just watched the full interview.

It says a lot for his feelings for us when he picks the Scottish Cup win over scoring the winner in the play off final 💚

he is just a top bloke as well as a cracking player. Hopefully he is nowhere near peak SJM yet.
