Original game had been abandoned at HT because of snow. Really was reduced price to get in. Big Hibs support went up.

Joe McLaughlin’s most notable contribution in a Hibs jersey was to get Chic Charnley booked for a bit of green on green hand bags if I remember correctly.

I think he got sent off in the last game of the 1999-2000 season at Tynie, and therefore missed the first game of the next one, again away at Hearts. Paul Fenwick took his position and he never got back in. Smith was also excellent but played right side in that back three.

I only remember him playing one game at ER and he was OK. Not great but not terrible. I remember Graeme Mathie being challenged about him (among others) at the last AGM and saying he was brought in for a specific purpose and he served that before moving on with a mutual agreement. He accepted some others had been bad signings so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and say it wasn't waffle.

He had a pretty decent career before Hibs and has played regularly for the Cypriot champions since leaving.

Was it not Phil Airey?
Might well have been, can mind him playing one game away at Kilmarnock and he was hopeless. Don’t think he played again

Did Jamie Insall ever play a 1st team game?

He must have loads of pictures and videos from Cup Final day, and the aftermath in the days after

Nah.

Came on as a sub in a preseason game v Birmingham at Easter Rd

[Percy Vere]

Not quite the same but we nearly signed David Platt, before he became an England International. Story goes Alex Millar had the choice of Platt or Gareth Evans. He went Evans.

That's not true.

Hibs had agreed a fee with Crewe. Aston Villa came in with a higher bid and gazumped us.

Platt never had any intentiion of coming to Scotland.

[Allez Hibs]

The Steve Archibald signing must be one of the most amazing opportune signing stories. To sign Archibald from a good Barcelona team ahead of a good Liverpool team is unbelievable.

[The 90+2]

Paul Dalglish

Set up Benji in a derby win.

[The 90+2]

McGivern was genuinely good during his first 18 months here. Definitely had a disaster under Butcher, though. He must've played more games than those guys combined, they were only gap fillers.

Nah for me he was pap. His floated throw ins done my nut in and Kevin McHattie roasted him on numerous derbies.

[MWHIBBIES]

Wasn't mchattie a left back? Definitely do not remember him roasting anyone.

McGivern wasn't genuinely decent on loan. There's a reason he joined permanently.

Only thing I remember of Mchattie in a Derby was being roasted by Alex Harris.

Got roasted by Wotherspoon in the cup tie as well.

Set up Farid’s goal in the derby in the Championship I’m sure?

Scored a great header Vs livi in the last minute too. Actually thought he was alright.

[weecounty hibby]

I can place every one of these names except one from the mid 70s on. Phil Airey!??! I have absolutely no recollection him at all. He must have had some impact when I can remember the others but not him

[Hiber-nation]

Not McHattie, you're thinking of someone else.

Think he played one game during the Fenlon era.

I seem to recall that he went back to Newcastle early because he couldn't settle?

[Billy Whizz]

Kilmarnock away, then went back to Newcastle for the weekend, and never came back

[The 90+2]

Not McHattie, you're thinking of someone else.

Yeah probably some other young pup that ended up at East Fife or the likes.

I would take Scotty Rob from Livi and give him his go here though. Hibee growing up.

Didn’t look too bad iirc...career went nowhere afterwards...was homesick was he not ??

That’s all I can think of

Ta for the replies. Was he just a young lad from Newcastle youth/reserve teams? It's ringing a very faint bell

Yep. That’s the fella

Wee guy from dumydikes Celtic fan if I recall

[MKHIBEE]

Didn’t we have some unfit overweight keeper make 2 appearances about 5 years ago?

[The Modfather]

Damon Gray

[ekhibee]

Lee Power and Ally Donaldson I think. Paul Power was the Man City captain with a tache to rival Rod’s. Never with us though as a player.

I was quite enjoying this thread until you mentioned Lee Power, dreadful player, and another one from around that time, Stuart Turnbull, 2 of the worst players I ever saw in a Hibs jersey. On the subject of players that only played 1 or 2 games, what about Tony Caig, the 'goalkeeper'? He was rank as well.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Caig chucked a few in against Dunfermline in a rainy midweek match. We were awful that night

[TheGog]

Jermain Pennant

Craig Rocastle


He was decent and I wish we'd managed to keep hold of him, think he went back to Sheffield Wednesday.

[Scouse Hibee]

Was on loan from Chelsea, they released him and signed for Shef Wed on a free.

[Stevie Reid]

Kilmarnock away, then went back to Newcastle for the weekend, and never came back

It was because of Airey's short term stay that we ended up getting Griffiths on loan, so it worked out well in the end.

[Northernhibee]

Think he played one game during the Fenlon era.

He was a Colin Calderwood signing. He rated him more highly than Leigh.

[Since452]

Peter Guggi

Craig Rocastle

Thought he was very good. Remember a game at Tannadice he strolled. Can't remember why his stay was so short.

*just saw earlier post on this

[Peevemor]

I think it was just a short term loan and we couldn't afford to keep him at the end of it.

[Since452]

Marc Libbra. Outstanding talent.

[Since452]

Ricardo Vaz Te

[.Sean.]

He was in the papers about leaving to break into the Chelsea first team and the day later signed for Sheff Wed

[Hibs1969]

Gael Bigirimana. Short term deal from Motherwell, one appearance (from the bench iirc) and never seen again.

[heidtheba]

Nah he was in trial before going back to Killie as we couldn’t afford him.

I think Bobby Williamson (who had worked with him before) paid Maclaren's triallist 'wages' out of his own pocket?

[heidtheba]

McGivern was genuinely good during his first 18 months here. Definitely had a disaster under Butcher, though. He must've played more games than those guys combined, they were only gap fillers.

I seem to remember him being one of those loan signings that lots of people had down as a 'must get him signed up on a perm as he is a declaration of intent' kinda player. And he wasn't bad...until we stumped up the cash.
Who was the really young guy who made a debut at 16. Jamie someone I think?

[heidtheba]

Antonio Murray? Early Mowbray era I think.

[Casey1875]

Jamie mcclusky, think he made his debut at East End Park.

[HoboHarry]

Marc Libbra. Outstanding talent.
Was in the Celtic end at Parkhead when we drew 1-1 and Libbra scored. It was hard to stay quiet 😁

[Onceinawhile]

Rugby Park. Came on as a sub.

[Jones28]

Gael Bigirimana. Short term deal from Motherwell, one appearance (from the bench iirc) and never seen again.

I'm sure it was a game against Aberdeen when Oli Shaw scored for us.

He was solid, but another one of these baffling signings where we just chucked money at a player for one appearance.

[IanM]

Good account to follow on Twitter @TheHibsAreHere for some nostalgia goals from the 90’s.. a few memories just like this thread

[Jumbo]

Terry Wilson signed him from Arbroath 1980, remember him scoring at Ayr in a League Cup tie

[Onceinawhile]

I mind watching that game with my mum whilst doing the ironing.
