Gary Mackay-Steven

[ManlyOz]

Listening to Si ferry on Open Goal, GMS says he supported Hibs growing up in Thurso and his email still has Hibees in it 👍, didn’t really like him now I do!!😁

[Hibeesmad]

One of the players I would have loved to have seen play for us. If he supported us why did he always score against us! 😤

I’m so glad that’s been confirmed! I had a very vague recollection of this story from years ago and couldn’t find the article.

[Hibee Mac]

He's a player, always scored against us too 😂

[Pretty Boy]

Always thought he was cheating wee fud. Might have to reassess my opinion now.

[Diclonius]

What's the story behind him supporting us when he grew up in Thurso?

[StevesFamau5]

Always thought he was cheating wee fud. Might have to reassess my opinion now.Less of an opinion, more of a fact. Might change personal opinion but he's still a diving wee fud [emoji23]

There was quite a lively Hibs support in Thurso in the 80s IIRC. One of the pubs had Hibs posters up.

:agree: it’s been said a few times on here over the years. No wonder he always raises his game against us.

He says in this interview that he saw a Hibs score on Teletext that was 6-2 against Stenhousemuir(?) and he thought Hibs must be some team.

Wasn't Stuart Crowther based up in Wick back in the day?

He produced a fanzine called TANESH (or something similar?).

Not unusual. Keith Wright scored against us regularly.

Yep. The Absolutely Non Essential Hibernian Supporters’ Handbook.

Add him to the list of players who supported us, and couldn't help score against us.

If I recall correctly, Stuart Crowther was the founder of Hibs Net. He later had to sever connections when he was employed by Hibernian when they were establishing the club's online presence.

[BILLYHIBS]

Pretty sure he played a trial for us on the recommendation of Derek Adams and Colin Calderwood rejected him for being too wee

Might be talking pish!

As did Robbo & Nade. Hibbys? Surely not.

Ach is water under the bridge now.............

[Gaffer1875]

Good interview, he’s got some stories! Always like him as a player, can you imagine GMS on the left and Boyle on the right...

Nope, not pish, Billy. You're spot on.

Calderwood was and remains a fud :greengrin

Couple of them regularly traveled down & on our bus in 80/90s, & always maintained a guid few mair where they came from!

I mentioned GMS was a Hibee on here a few years ago. Was told by a good few I was talking p1sh and he was a wee runt, etc. I rest my case.

Did he explain how he ended up in the Clyde?

I remember reading that he added the “-Stevens” bit to his surname as he didn’t want to be known as Gary McKay.

I suppose there’s not much distance wise between both Bathgate and Thurso to ER right enough 🤔

Correct. His father is McKay, mother Stevens and they added the "-Stevens" to avoid the Yam similarity.

Did he ever celebrate against hibs(scoring)

[The 90+2]

All the time. I always thought he was out to prove us wrong when playing against us. We had the chance for him when he was at Airdrie.

Celebrated big style when he scored against Hibs - remember a couple he got at ER where he made a point of noising up the Hibs fans in the FF stand as well!

Thank you Sir :not worth

Was always hoping he would? Is he stil at New York City?

[BILLYHIBS]

:agree:

So much so that he went down to Liverpool and was immediately offered a professional contract :confused:

[I'm Spartacus]

Then he sat in hospital convinced he was on a golf course!

Ahaha I was told the same a few years back but not many believed me when I passed on the info, good to get confirmation now

Shame we never signed him as he's some player, especially when playing at Easter Road!
