Least favourite former Hibs player

[Paul1642]

Some of the comments on the international threads about Matt Doherty have got me thinking, who is everyone’s least favourite Hibs player and why?

Other than Doherty a few others that spring to mind for me are Zibi for causing so much pain in Derby’s, although that one is nothing personal and purely performance based. There was a lot of hate for Kevin Thomson when he left but he put in a decent shift for us when he returned. For me it would be Paul Hartley however that all comes from his time at hearts and has nothing to do with his time at Hibs at all.

If we include managers, Caldwood was pretty hard to like and Butcher would top my list for sure.

This is purely a bit of fun, it’s just a game at the end of the day and it’s great to look at our current side and realise that regardless of ability there’s not a player is there I dislike or who’s attitude I would question.

Agreed.

No real reason just thought he was poor and very strongly linked to that game.

[HoboHarry]

Andy Walker is up there with Butch Wilkins

[Pretty Boy]

There was a whole load of players between about 2011 and finally getting relegated that seemed to pitch up at Hibs, not really give a toss and then walk away. I can accept a player not being good enough but lack of heart and effort is difficult to stomach as a fan.

Owain Tudur Jones is mentioned above and I think he typifies that period quite well. His attempt at a tackle in the lead up to Hamiltons equaliser in the play off defeat summed up his contribution quite well. He may well have been a great guy but he seemed to be around, semi permanently injured, boasting about his golf on social media then crap when he did appear.

What sealed it for me PB was apart from the fact he was gash was the fact he admitted on a podcast that he signed for us knowing his legs were gone

:dunno:

[Vault Boy]

Kamberi is certainly up there for me.

Former players I get the impression that I'd actively dislike were they my teammates include: Islam Feruz, Martin Scott, and Rowan Vine.

Worst/least favourite player means different things to me. Was Zibi a joke, course he was. Is he my least favourite player, not even close. Take Brian Hamilton for example. Good player for us but a total bell end and his comments about rather licking stamps than play for us will live with me forever. Ray Wilkins, might be a hun barsteward but lets not forget, Emmon Bannon played a game for us.
As much as I hate Butcher, he was my choice to be manager at the time. Can't believe we actually employed Billy Brown FFS.

Alan O’Brien 😱

An imposter.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Are we talking about their time at hibs or once they’ve left the club

Andy Walker wasn’t with us long, did little wrong, didn’t get a contract and now hates us with every fibre of his bitter wee soul

Paul Hartley.... well enough said

And there’s a difference between crap and hatred for a player

But I sadly did enjoy Matt Docherty missing his spot kick last night, despite what it means to my grandads homeland

[Hiber-nation]

Danny Haynes is one that always sticks in my mind. Was hardly trying a leg in a game at St Mirren when we were in relegation freeefall , goes to take a corner and gives it a pretty aggressive "come on eh?" to the fans, to be met with a resounding chorus of "nah, you f****** come on!"

Hartley by a distance

[scoopyboy]

Can't remember disliking too many whilst at the club.

Often get irked at ones who slag the club off after they've left.

Hartley by a distance

Hartley was good with us. Scored some good goals - notably one cracker v Dunfermline.

[Logie Green]

Liam Craig. Appointed captain but often couldn’t get in the team. Left St Johnstone after a few years to sign for Hibs. They won the Scottish Cup and we got relegated, went back to St Johnstone and we won the Scottish Cup. An imposter during our relegation season.

Danny Haynes can almost be forgiven for inadvertently introducing his girlfriend to Scoopyboy and I. 😍

Obviously this. The thread should be titled ‘Other than Dave Beaumont who is your least favourite former Hibs player’.

Rowan VineFor some reason mine too. Lived near me when he first arrived, a bigger poseur would be hard to find. Bet he spent more time perfecting that beard than he did his football skills.

McQuilken was absolutely honking. Can't say I remember particularly disliking him, but I'd have him up there as one of the worst players I've seen play for the club. Slow, with very little football ability to go with his lack of pace.

I do remember him appearing to be permanently angry. Possibly due to his constant inability to pick a pass or catch an opposition player.

I was once watching a Scotland game in the company of a lady. She asked why one of the players (Gary Mcallister it was) had an armband on. I told her he was a first aider. If anyone got injured during the game he had to give them assistance. Oh I see she said. I told her it was worse if someone in the crowd needed help as they then had to stop the game. :greengrin

Got to be a potential winner if there is a category for the player who slid the most in the popularity stakes during his time at Hibs - from high up the list early doors to beyond rock bottom in the end.

I’m the same and while I don’t like this thread of negativity Kamberi is the only player who still been with us that I’ve detested.

[Mon Dieu4]

Gary Caldwell, even before the obvious I never liked him, I felt that he never took responsibility and it always seemed to be someone else's fault when he ****ed up one of his 3,274 yard diagonal passes or hailing a taxi when trying to claim an offside, the way it ended just added to it all for me

I know he went on to have a pretty sterling career but I just never liked or rated the guy in the slightest

Matt Doherty

[Auckland Hibs]

Hartley the little rat faced prick.

[The 90+2]

Andy Goram.

I can't say that I disliked Wilkins as a person although he did deliver the single worst performance I've ever seen by anyone in a Hibs jersey, and I am including fat granddads on Portobello beach. (Killie at ER when he was subbed off at half-time to avoid further embarrassment).

Hartley flattered to deceive as a Hibs player and went on to be really good at Hearts. But he was a cheating, whingeing wee ratbag. Two incidents I remember in particular: fouling a Hibs player in the box and being awarded a penalty for it; moaning to the press about how a Hibs player should have been sent off for tripping him when all the telly footage showed that he tripped over his own feet with no Hibby near him, something he never retracted or apologised for as far as I am aware.

Andy Walker is just terrible at his job.

[hibsbollah]

Gary Caldwell, Liam Craig.

I also had an irrational dislike of John Rankin.

He annoys me when we play Celtic but other than that I like him, especially when I watch old videos of him when he was at Hibs.

Irrational I know but there you go

I know he is a big mad hibby goes to all the games and would be pleased to be on the SFA Committee to hand over the Scottish Cup on that day of day’s especially after having been a member of the failed 1979 Cup Final squad

Not a hatred as such he is a likeable big fellah I just never fancied him as a player :wink:

You beat me to it! He was a horrific player for us.

I remember going through to Parkhead just before Christmas and we got skelped 5-0. McQuilken had an absolute nightmare that day and I wondered how he ever became a professional footballer. What Hibs saw in him is a mystery to me and thankfully he only appeared 10 times for us before he was punted to Falkirk.

He was a (sort of) lovable character but looked out of place when put next the elegance of the Tornadoes. Would have been a hero if had scored one of his chances at Elland Road.

Remember the cracker he scored against the stickies from G Best assist?

Not a hate figure in any way but I get where your coming from given the team he was brought into.

Funnily enough the Elland Road miss was the first to spring to mind

As you say we were spoiled by the quality of player we were used to seeing

Now, what about Ally Scott?

My brothers all time favourite hibs player ( seriously)

[Smartie]

I never took to Caldwell.

He always had that pompous air about him that he was better than us and then I just didn't ever see a player in him that merited it.

Had a cracking career, earned a fortune and I'll never manage to work out how he managed it, given there's probably at least 20 Hibs CH's I've seen in my near 30 years watching the club that I'd take over him.

In general, whilst I get frustrated with the current incumbents as much as the next person, I don't really like to beat down on anyone who has managed to achieve what so many of us would have given our right arm to be able to do - just to play for Hibs. I guess anyone who has ever disrespected that privilege would be near the top of my list, and the players who manage to make hundreds of appearances will always hold a special place in my affections.

[overdrive]

I didn’t mind him but someone who seemed to get a lot of hate from the crowd was Jarko Rhyming Slang Wiss.

I never minded him either. His isn't a name that has aged well and he's one of those who is remembered as being worse than he actually was.

In fairness, not long after he left we did end up with a few top midfielders who showed him up a bit for not being all that great, relatively speaking.

No real reason just thought he was poor and very strongly linked to that game.

I think he gets a lot of the blame for that game unfairly because what he did to the hearts player was barely a foul for a start, and it was miles outside the box. He ends up sent off and they go 3-1 with a penalty that on every replay should be a free kick.

I certainly took the thread as being about irrational dislike, not lack of ability. If you’re perceived to have disrespected the support or shown a lack of effort or desire on the pitch, that’s going to count against you far more than anything else.

It was a terrible day when Colin Stein left us for the Huns in 1968. I remember it well. I am old enough to remember Joe Baker leaving for Italy and many other fine Hibs players to English clubs over the years. If I recall correctly Hibs had agreed to sell Stein to Everton but he held out for Ibrox.

What made matters worse was being at Ibrox a few days later watching him score a hat trick in a 6-1 defeat.

The only consolation was the arrival of Joe McBride to replace Stein. He was a fine player who scored many goals for us.

Obviously I can't speak for the OP, but I attended a sponsors evening just before that cup final, and I took along my 2001 hibs strip. The classic, 6-2 strip. I wanted to get it signed by the players in the hope that they were 'the chosen ones' that would finally deliver the holy grail. Anyway, when I presented it to TS, he made a comment to Roy O'Donovan about how bad a strip it was. It left a sour taste in my mouth. Made me realise he didn't really know hibs, and he didn't really care about the fans, taking the mick while I was standing right there.

Those two and one other who I can't remember now sat together in the corner, like they didn't really want to be there.

[Ray_]

Scored a diving header at ‘Tiny’ back in 1971 in the Scottish Cup IIRC

ET seemed to like him but you are correct there were better options Wee Jimmy being the obvious one :greengrin

John Hazel had what was probably his best game playing the number nine in the 1972 2-0 semi replay win against Rangers, he was brilliant that night.

[Ray_]

It was a terrible day when Colin Stein left us for the Huns in 1968. I remember it well. I am old enough to remember Joe Baker leaving for Italy and many other fine Hibs players to English clubs over the years. If I recall correctly Hibs had agreed to sell Stein to Everton but he held out for Ibrox.

What made matters worse was being at Ibrox a few days later watching him score a hat trick in a 6-1 defeat.

The only consolation was the arrival of Joe McBride to replace Stein. He was a fine player who scored many goals for us.

Yeah, he was going to Everton for 90K, he wanted rangers, they came in with 100K, three months after the hat trick he was scoring the only goal to put us out the Scottish cup.

One of the biggest joys as a Hibs fan of that era was in 1972 when Hibs beat them in three Semi finals and Onion taking the mick out of Stein with the ball at his feet when Stein went out to try and challenge him out on Hibs right and Stein went sliding past almost hitting the dugout in Hibs 3-0 Drybrough cup win.

:agree:

[Tambo]

I grew up idolising Darren Jackson and was a bit annoyed he left for Celtic but wouldn't say I hate him.

[cmcd]

1. He played for the sh*te (2x)
2. He supported the sh*te
3. He's always talking about the sh*te.

Of all the players that have played for both clubs, he is the sc**miest.

OK I understand you don't like him but to say he is a hearts supporter is not true. Yes he talks about them but not in a positive way

[Nicho87]

Docherty. Purely for twitter feed the day after that game.

[Orchard_Hibs]

Garry Caldwell, I remember him doing an interview saying when he was at hibs he would have a drink on a Saturday night or during the week but once he moved to Celtic you would never think of doing anything like that. Cretin.

Paul Hartley, Tom soars

[Shrekko]

One good match v Celtic at ER. Archie and Evans scored in a 3-1 win.

Fellinger didn't play in that game.

i didn't hate him but he was definitely one of the worst players I've seen at any level. pretty sure he was playing junior a couple of years after he left.

Goram is my most hated. Watched him being interviewed recently and apart from anything he's just an absolute liar.

[Peevemor]

If it was based on ability (or lack thereof), Stuart Turnbull would win hands down.

However, I tend not to dislike people for being a crap footballer.

I'm not very keen on Paul Kane. I met him when he was a young player at ER and he was a total dick. Given the crap he's spouted about Hibs over the past few years, it doesn't look like he's improved much.

Hard hat on!

[Topographic Hibby]

Brian ****ing HamiltonWhat was about Hamilton? I used to quite like him. Did he not rattle the post from a free kick in the League Cup final against Dunfermline? Could have scored the winner in a final for Hibs.

Anyway, I could never get how Benny Brazil stayed as long as he did. Just sayin' :rolleyes:

[Sheffhibee]

Never liked Andy Walker at our club and can't stand listening to him as a pundit. Recent times ratboy Kamberi topping the charts

[18Craig75]

This is a strangely cathartic thread!

I’ll throw Admiral Nelson in to the ring. A truly horrendous footballer who was instrumental in us going down. I remember in the second play off match against Hamilton he just constantly kept putting the ball in to row z.

[maturehibby]

Derek Townsley .
As soon as he came on Hibs lost goals

[Willis1875]

Couldn't take to Tim Clancy at all

[Hibs1969]

There seem to be 2 different strands to this thread namely, players whose were disliked whilst they were Hibs players and players who were disliked for their antics after they left Hibs.

As far as the former goes, I’ve never forgiven Colin Stein for breaking my young heart and moving to the Huns. Very traumatic for an 8 year old. Honourable mentions too for most of the duds signed by Pat Fenlon during the Cup Final season. As for the latter, Gordon Durie did a double whammy by signing for both the Huns and Hearts after leaving us which surely grants him a place in the hall of shame.

Matt docherty is certainly up there for me. The sheer lack of respect he showed the club was a disgrace. I always give him abuse when hes up playing Newcastle.

Ryan McGivern

Scott brown definitely up there.

Why Scott Brown?

He played his final match for Hibs against Celtic at Easter Road when he had already agreed to join Celtic.

Brown scored the equalising goal before Ivan Sproule got the winner.

He was cheered by both sets of supporters.

I don’t normally hold a grudge but almost 40 years on Mike Conroy still tops my list. Absolute non trier.

Yes I do remember that ,was stunning,,well I was stunned anyway.

Apart from that he really should never have been near the Hibs team.

Not saying he was a bad lad just very,very,poor for Hibs.

[Iggy Pope]

What’s Jarko Wiss done to anyone? Paul Wright seemed to score more against us than he ever did for us. Stuart Lovell was a **** for Livingston every time he played us and got a job on the telly to do likewise. Goram settled in to being a card carrying Hun very quickly and Gary Caldwell was already guilty of ****ting on us once before we criminally let it happen a second time. Jarko Wiss?

Looking back after 30 years pretty poor form to tell an ex player he wasn’t welcome at a supporters bash regardless of whether he was a Hun or not
Bear in mind we had probably just knocked him out of the Skol Cup at Hampden
The Goalie would have just seen it as an excuse for another night out and a catch up

Was thinking the same as I wrote it. Saying that it was probably still a fresh wound. The white heat of these things throws up all sorts of emotions. Turned out he was a complete dick anyway. The reason he would turn up at all those watp bashes was purely for cash for his gambling habit, he never had the power of his convictions either way.

Back on topic I might be in the minority in believing Roughie was the best out the Gorams, him and Leighton. Probably saved us from being relegated in half the seasons he was here. Stanton reckoned he was worth 20-25 points a season. All three (4) were outstanding though.

[A Hi-Bee]

One for the oldies but the one player I could never take to even although he scored loads of goals for us and I suppose it was because of what went before player wise but ....Tony Higgins

Big, awkward, gangly, hulk like, legs like tree trunks.

He was deceptive he was slower than he looked

Irrational I know but there you go

I know he is a big mad hibby goes to all the games and would be pleased to be on the SFA Committee to hand over the Scottish Cup on that day of day’s especially after having been a member of the failed 1979 Cup Final squad

Not a hatred as such he is a likeable big fellah I just never fancied him as a player :wink:


Big Tony, never even looked like a fitba player, although he was slightly better for us than Jim Blair a big money signing from St Mirren back in the day and apart from scoring 2 against the hun one night he was hopeless. I think we sold him back to Saints the next year for half of what we paid.

I went to a few Charity Events at ER in the company of The Goalie and it invariably ended up back at the Dean Hotel to the wee sma oors Little was said about his Hun allegiance he was just recognised for what he was The Goalie
Anyway, aye Roughie was good probably kept Pat Stanton in a job and he would be the first to admit that.
We were good for Jim Leighton and he was good for us
My all time favourite was Andy Goram totally focused not the tallest but always had all his angles covered unbeatable
HIBS defences were comfortable playing in front of Roughie Leighton and Goram
I do not think there have been many keepers in the last 20 years you can say that about

[supersauzee]

Filipe Morais. Guy was an utter w**k stain

[vercol36]

What am I missing with McGivern? He was p*sh, but I quite liked the guy. Did he take a dump on us when he left?

[Fergos]

Obviously I can't speak for the OP, but I attended a sponsors evening just before that cup final, and I took along my 2001 hibs strip. The classic, 6-2 strip. I wanted to get it signed by the players in the hope that they were 'the chosen ones' that would finally deliver the holy grail. Anyway, when I presented it to TS, he made a comment to Roy O'Donovan about how bad a strip it was. It left a sour taste in my mouth. Made me realise he didn't really know hibs, and he didn't really care about the fans, taking the mick while I was standing right there.

Number 1 for me now confirmed. Was on my list but this sorry tale nails it for the bammer.

He was instrumental in the second leg play off.

I think it was even more annoying because a) he had a reasonably good loan spell with us before signing permanently and b) he was keeping Lewis Stevenson out of the left back slot.

Hibs had just banked £4.5m and Scott put some of his own cash back into the development team. He left on good terms no question about it.

[jacomo]

To answer the question, Simon Brown. We had some poor keepers then but he just looked like he didn’t give a ****. Ever.

If any Hibs player is proven to bet against us in a match they played in though, they go to the top of the list.

[BILLYHIBS]

Goram. Not just a raving bigot but a total waster to boot. Guy had a brilliant career and should be set for life considering the money he must've been on at rangers at that time (or at least just doing wee punditry jobs on the side a la McCoist), instead he's banned from doing hospitality gigs at Ibrox cos he makes an arse of himself after a few drinks. Also **** Kamberi.

Brown was brilliant for Hibs. Won a cup and made us a lot of money as well.

It can be infuriating watching him get away with murder when you watch him play against us for Celtic. But there aren’t many players who’ve won medals playing for Hibs. So those that have couldn’t be any further away from being my most hated former Hibs player.

Ah yes, I remember you questioning his bottle for not going down south, even though a reasonable person would concede that he had very good personal reasons for staying in Scotland.

Some Hibs fans take a weird dislike to our most successful managers too, so you are not alone in that.

I do find it very strange though. Scott Brown won a cup with us and earned the club a lot of money. He also clearly still has a soft spot for us.

I’ll not hear a word said against him.

Jimmy Bocco. Irrational I know but I still blame him for our relegation when Duffy was manager. Through on goal when we were 3-1 up against Rangers at ER and he bottled taking the shot. Before you know it they have scored and are back in the game. Pretty sure he played someone onside for one of their goals that followed as well and they go on to win. We went downhill and down a division from there.

And you don’t need to post your opinion if you don’t like being corrected. An opinion is worthless when not based on some semblance of reality or fact.

Such as Colin Nish is one of the top ten SPL/Scottish Premiership goalscorers of all time so he’s clearly of a decent level. Drey Wright is not a former player neither has he had time to settle in, and he’s chipped in with a lovely goal against Rangers, at the time the only goal they’d conceded all season. That’s 0/2 so far, congratulations.

[The Modfather]

Dean Shiels, more so one so one specific aspect as think he was a decent player for us overall. He could be anonymous in a game and not contributing much. Then he’d have a 15 minute spell in the second half in front of the old East stand where he would chase everything and go at 100mph, much to the adulation of the east. I always thought that was as much about his ego as anything else and annoyed me that the fans would then remember that 15 minutes rather than the other 75.

Nish could be frustrating for the reasons mentioned, but in the right team, in the right position, with the right players around him he could be a cracking player and he had some excellent games for us.

His problem was the expectation his height brought - we expected him to be able to do much more with balls lumped up to him, whereas he was miles better when we were playing it to feet with players buzzing around him.

He did have one of the worst afternoons I’ve ever seen a Hibs player have when he was up front on his tod on that freezing day with the Maltese ref (when he was our only fit striker) but he has absolutely no business being mentioned here.

[Since452]

Danny Swanson. Could never take to him. Think he got an easy ride on here because of the team he supported. Claiming to be a Hearts fan was just plain odd for a supposed Hibs fan.

His best period for Hibs was up top with Fletcher with Deano in the hole.

I remember he played amazing against Motherwell one night running off Fletcher's layoffs.

You’re always sooo abrasive. Really no need.


When people say "I won't hear a word against him" it's not meant literally. It's a figure of speech. You love to be confrontational for some reason.

I'm not being confrontational or abrasive. I've given my reasons for not liking the guy, they wont change.

Scott Brown, in my opinion, is a tosser. Others don't mind him. I'm not getting at them or trying to change their mind.

There is 8 pages of posts, many giving far less reasoning than I did for disliking players. Go reply to them.

[MrRobot]

Nish could be frustrating for the reasons mentioned, but in the right team, in the right position, with the right players around him he could be a cracking player and he had some excellent games for us.

His problem was the expectation his height brought - we expected him to be able to do much more with balls lumped up to him, whereas he was miles better when we were playing it to feet with players buzzing around him.

He did have one of the worst afternoons I’ve ever seen a Hibs player have when he was up front on his tod on that freezing day with the Maltese ref (when he was our only fit striker) but he has absolutely no business being mentioned here.

Agree completely.

[matty_f]

Colin Murdoch worst player I've ever seen.

That was the one I thought of. I struggle with the idea of not looking Hibs players, kind of goes against the grain a bit, but Murdoch was honking.

And you don’t need to post your opinion if you don’t like being corrected. An opinion is worthless when not based on some semblance of reality or fact.

Such as Colin Nish is one of the top ten SPL/Scottish Premiership goalscorers of all time so he’s clearly of a decent level. Drey Wright is not a former player neither has he had time to settle in, and he’s chipped in with a lovely goal against Rangers, at the time the only goal they’d conceded all season. That’s 0/2 so far, congratulations.


There’s having an informed opinion and there’s being wrong. Guess which one you are?

Sorry I thought it was my least fav hibs player so your right, drey Wright isn’t a former player, I wish he was and I know Nish scored a few goals but the thread was least fav player.... and you’ve guessed it, Nish is one of mine... you don’t have to reply, might save you getting corrected

[Northernhibee]

Can we be entirely honest then and say that it’s a baseless opinion then?

Nish just hasn’t scored a “few” goals, in fact very few people have scored more than him in the history of the SPL/Scottish Premiership.

I don’t know what your after.... I just didn’t like him and that’s what the thread is all about.... I don’t need a reason

[The Modfather]

You honestly can't think of any former player you dislike more than Dean Shiels?

I probably could, yes. I commented on an example of one aspect of a former player that really annoyed me rather than disliking the actual player. Don’t think it’s particularly irrelevant on this thread.

[Northernhibee]

That’s fine. You don’t like them even though you don’t have a reason to do so. At least we’ve broken down why that is - just completely irrational.

Enjoy your weekend 🙂

I am enjoying my weekend, hibs won even though we were mince... much better after halftime, I wonder why ... just a wee reminder, thread says least favourite former hibs player.... nowhere does it say, and give your reasons....

Have a great day

[thebausburst]

Latest favourite former player, easy, Paul Hartley by a mile.

He annoys me when we play Celtic but other than that I like him, especially when I watch old videos of him when he was at Hibs.

I think a lot of Hibs fans might take to him once he finishes with Celtic. He still likes Hibs a lot.


Hes a boyhood hibs supporter and his family are hibs supporters

[hibbysam]

Don’t think Brown was ever a ‘boyhood’ hibs fan. May be a supporter now due to playing for us but I was always under the impression he was a Rangers fan as a boy.

I agree with this , especially the bit in bold. Some of the abuse he took from fans towards the end of his time playing with us was shocking.

It was a daft thread from the start.

Really difficult for me to see anybody else once Kamberi came into my head. Pwick.

Totally. Can't ever remember any other player being so disrespectful to their parent employer club when going out on loan to another. 100% knob end.

[Ricky Bobby]

Precisely the reason this thread is a car crash - a good Hibby in Nish and a current player who had a bad game whilst playing through an injury and has barely unpacked his bags here.

Tragic negativity.

As someone who has sponsored several players over the years, i can honestly say i have been really dissappointed with the attitude of some of them. None more so than Colin Nish. Sponsored him on my kids behalf and when it came to the Sponsers evening, it was very obvious from the start he would have rather been anywhere else at that time. Other than hand over a signed top, never even spoke to the kids.
That particular night Pa Kujabi was particulary great company.Regardless of ability its things like this, that stick in my mind.

Zibby, basically gave hearts a goal head start every time we played them 2 in the 2006 semi final

[21.05.2016]

Never like Michael Stewart when he was with us. Bad tempered and took the huff rather than celebrate with his team after the LC final win in 2007.

This will be a controversial one but I struggle to like Stokes as a person. Absolute hero for what he did in the final and for that i'll be forever grateful to the man but he had a bad attitude and disrespected the club on many occassions with his Billy Big Baws act. Turning up late to training, breaking rules and getting pissed and mucking about on team training camps abroad, squaring up to the manager on the traiing ground etc. I'm sorry but SC hero or not that is no way to behave. A lot of the time on the park he looked like he couldn't be arsed either unless it was against the huns. As i said, absolutely so grateful to him for bringing us so much joy on that day but just feel he let himself and the club down so badly at the end and comes across as someone whos pretty arrogant and immature.

Agree with your second one mate... As for MS I'm ambivalent rather like/dislike him

Why would Kubjabi and Nish be at the same sponsors night you sponsored Nish?

[Wilson]

Isn't it a get together with tables for each sponsor? I.e. lots if sponsors and lots of players in one place?

It's not like the player turns up at your house...

Yep, he's a quiet dude from what I know of him. Some people really don't like a room with lots of people you've never met before and indeed, some people just have an off day that if you meet them on that day then they won't get the best impression of you.

I think he means that Kujabi and Nish wouldn’t be at the club at the same time to be at the same sponsors night together..

I get that mate but they players played for Hibs years apart. And if Nish was being sponsored and Kubjabi was there was he being sponsored for being retired?
