Players names you can't remember

[Irish_Steve]

On the back of my home team, Coleraine putting Maribor out of Europe tonight, a friend posted the report of that game and there was quite a few I don't even recall playing for Hibs. - here's the report - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/europe/8864977.stm?fbclid=IwAR2RTgmehN8rMlFiiaAU6Hhln_tF4 WqvNJJlI7M0Uqadvef7Q01SyGN_Jw0


However, the thing that is really bugging me is, who was the player who replaced Ivan Sproule. Was supposed to be faster and better than Ivan but was absolute horse dung - I only remember his first name started with an A and he possibly came from Newcastle - wasn't that Phil Airey bloke either

Alan O'Brien. Paid a decent fee for him too iirc

[Irish_Steve]

Alan Obrien

Thank you - it was doing my head in!!

Full Irish International player too

[brianmc]

He looked fantastic in a pre season game away at Stirling Albion. Really thought we'd signed a potential star - sadly that turned out to be his best ever Hibs performance!

[The 90+2]

Gordon Petric **** the hearts

[1875godsgift]

Alan O'Brien. Paid a decent fee for him too iirc

Like Ivan Sproule on a motorbike.

Unfortunately, like a motorbike, he couldn't tackle, pass, cross or score, but he was fast.

[Pretty Boy]

I remember O'Brien had an assist against Celtic in the squiggler game and it was a glimpse of what might have been.

He was pretty fast tbf, the problem was he couldn't run and control the ball at the same time.

[The_Exile]

**** me, Stokes and Riordan on the bench with Nish up top on his own, still haunts me that!

Riordan and Stokes on the bench. Big Nishy on his own up front. Baffling

[CloudSquall]

I remember Alan O'Brien having a few good pre season performances after a sub standard first season and everyone ripping the tap aff it about how he could be counted as a new signing, cringetastic.

I remember talking my other half into coming to one of those friendlies up at Broadwood - and enthusing that at last he looked like the player we thought we were going to sign.

He was pretty fast tbf, the problem was he couldn't run and control the ball at the same time.

O'Brien actually set up Fletcher's goal in a 1-0 derby win at ER too.

Otherwise... he just looked terrified most of the time. I recall a great chance he had at Tynie in the first game of the season when Lewis played him in and he just seemed to panic and totally fluffed the shot. Luckily it didn't matter as we won through Brian Kerr's goal, but even that early in his Hibs career I remember alarm bells ringing.

[Mibbes Aye]

I think we all had high hopes for Alan O’Brien. I recall seeing him in one of his early games, and being struck by his pace, maybe against one of the OF. He was genuinely quick, no doubting that.

Over the course of his time with us we didn’t get all he may have had to offer, no doubting that. Whether that was him or the coaching I do not know. I think that his time with us was one of middling results- we probably won, drew and lost in equal measure. Funny to think we were infuriated by scraping top-half and then we would be relegated but come back up and win the Cup. The joy of being a Hibee.........

they really needed two tv cameras when he was in possession... one for him and one for the ball he was ‘controlling’

According to Wiki - he only played 192 games in 14 years - seems to be a common thread of contracts being cancelled. His stint with us was the second longest in his career (47 games), he only played more games for Hungerford Town (73).

Maybe he should have been a sprinter as there was no doubt he was exceedingly fast

AOB was decent In that derby tbf. It was the only game for us he got pass marks from what I can remember.

There was one game - can't recall who against now - let's just call it the Alan O'Brien game - where was unplayable. He set up about 6 chances for strikers who were continually missing them.

I had high hopes for him and probably backed him a bit longer than was merited. His career has certainly been disappointing from being at Newcastle and in Ireland squads.

[lyonhibs]

His performance in a later derby at Tynecastle which didn't have such a happy ending was amongst the most mouse hearted I've ever witnessed. He just didn't fancy it at all

A home game against Falkirk saw him subbed with about five minutes to go, he got a standing ovation when he came off. That might be the game you are thinking about.

This rings a bell. Would it maybe have been around the start of his second season with us? I think I can remember having conversations along the lines of "that's O'Brien turned the corner" after an early season game, like he'd be a new player for us. Shows how wrong you can be.

I mind that Guardiola picked him out as being decent after the Murrayfield game, but it felt likely he was just taking pity and picked a name at random. Most of the time he didn't seem to have a clue what to do once he'd run with the ball a bit.

[Andy74]

That must be it, can't have been two of them!

[Broken Gnome]

That's the one I was thinking of, he went on a hell of a run up the East Terrace side and set up Rankin who missed a sitter.

Always thought if he'd had a few assists early on he'd have kicked on, but never happened for him. Came with a better pedigree than Ivan, but no point having pace if you're utterly timid with it.

[Killiehibbie]

Every so often a name comes up and I get some kind of PTSD. You think the alcohol therapy has worked but back to square 1.

[Prof. Shaggy]

Wasn't there a suggestion he tried to win a penalty for Celtic at ER? They needed a win to have a chance of winning the league but couldn't break us down. Ended 0-0.

[Hibernia&Alba]

[erin go bragh]

The Newcastle fans didn’t help either . They were gutted he had left and wanted Damian Duff to go to us instead.

Yeah who was the guy that used to play for Hearts that played like a jambo wearing a HIBS strip and was slower than a week in the jail and I lost count of the guys who had played in the Champions League with Feyenoord or was it Ajax?

Looked like the Agents were having a field day with Lenny!

Dearie me!

Daquin was a forward. You're thinking of Faycal Rherras.

[StevieC]

Not this Newcastle fan, I'd said at the time he was a poor player. Agree with the sentiments about Duff. He ended up getting us relegated and then jumped ship!

[jakedance]

I can’t remember a player having as much good will as Alan O’Brien. He must have been great in training because there can’t be any other explanation for how many games he played. I remember a game where he sprinted back and made a tackle and he got a great cheer. Shan footballer.

[CMurdoch]

O'Brien retired from football 2 years ago at the age of 33.
Played 3 seasons in the 3rd tier of English football after leaving Hibs in the summer of 2009 before dropping into the English non league scene were he remained until knocking it on the heid due to injuries in July 2018.

He definitely played in that 3-0 defeat away to Killie when we started with about seven defenders on the pitch.

[Scott Allan Key]

I've completely forgotten what I was about to say. Who made up our midfield when we won the Skol Cup in 91?

I only remember Murdo because in a bizarre bit of kids TV on CBeebies where he was looking after, playing football with his grandkids, he showed photographs of him with the Skol Cup and his Hibs kit. Would've thought his Celtic career would have been more successful?

Didn’t he have an outstanding game against Dundee United? Then got injured in the first few minutes with his first touch against hearts? Maybe just made that up but sure that’s what happened, great first touch, left the wing back, crossed in, injures.

Worked out well in that game for us though the injury, because his replacement was Shinnie who had his finest game for Hibs: tremendous assist for Cummings goal and then his thunderbolt goal through lurpack Jack's hands:aok:

He signed towards the end of the 2018-19 season. Was on the bench a few times, but only came on once for the last 15 minutes or so when we won 2-1 at Tynecastle.

[Pretty Boy]

He was briefly mentioned earlier in this thread but one guy I can't recall at Hibs at all was Freddie Daquin. I have absolutely no memory of him at all, a look at Wiki suggests he signed for us twice as well.

Fabrice Henry is another guy I had completely forgotten about who just popped into my head. I had it in my head he was a youngster but it seems we were actually his last club before retirement.

I often wondered if that ever impacted negatively on potential future signings. Petrie splashed the cash big time to get these two...only for Hughes to bench them for a really important game. 150K (fact) for Griffiths just for some manager to bench him might have played on the mind of the 'Tache...

Szamatoulski is the keeper who was at United. He was the mad monk.

The midfielder you are thinking of may have been Denes Rosa who was signed around the same time. He was also bald. He was a very good player.

Now, how can I remember that we had 81% of possession that day but can't remember who the player Martis was? Haven't a clue what his first name was

Shelton. Centre half who was comfortable on the ball, but had a big mistake in him every now and then!

I was having a bit of bother with Jason Doig earlier this w.......ach ****.

Earl Jean?

I never grasped the pronunciation, how would you have said it?
Jean like Jean Jacques-Burnel or Jean like yer Auntie Jean?

Yip, came on in the final against Killie too - there must be a book in this, Forgotten Hibernian Players (or ones you wish you could forget!)

IIRC, Shelton Martis was the only player Tony Mowbray signed from Hibs after he moved to West Brom. When you think of the players we had then, he’d have been one of the last I expected to go there.

I remember him and seen him play as many as you. I only asked how to pronounce his surname not his I-stats.
None the wiser.:aok:

He likes to be called The Flea!

Saves you worrying about Jean, Genie, Jeannie, Juan or whatever?

Check his Wiki 😃

[BILLYHIBS]

Christ’s sake I wish I’d never asked.

Cool!

[BILLYHIBS]

I’ll just keep calling him Jean.

Carry on

Remember Humphrey Rudge? Seemed a great Mowbray fit at centre half, played very well in a derby win and then just sort of disappeared.

No one has looked more out of place on a pitch than Hakim Sar. Looked like an Ali Dia type scam.

Loved Humphrey.

Gave a towering performance in a rare away victory at Aberdeen. Then disappeared in a cloud of smoke
