Think you’ll find that a guy called MacKay and one called Young did ok.

Cameron a success?

Back in the day Bobby Johnstone. Scored in two cup finals for City. Just what would he have earned playing for City in this day and age. #Hibslegend

[h1bs4life]

Des Bremner Aston Villa European Cup Winner

[andudare2]

Cameron a success?aye,seemingly Wolves fans thought he was a very good player, won a fair few Scotland caps while there.

[andudare2]

After the recent Marinello thread made me think us compared to hearts we’ve had Cormack Baker crops Brebner McGinn Brownlie Blackley ( not so much) wee Robbo the same but struggling to think of any hearts successesTake it you mean Bremner and not Brebner as Grant was a young player at Man united when on loan to us,then a full signing,where as Des was a League and European cup winner at Vila.

[04Sauzee]

Fletcher hasn't had a bad career down south

[WoreTheGreen]

Yeah Des sorry wrong spelling came from Highlands football if I recall

[gbhibby]

Neil Martin. Matt Doherty

[BILLYHIBS]

Jimmy Dunn ( Wembley Wizard) won the FA Cup with Everton

His son also went on to win the FA Cup one of the few father and son winners

With regard to Hearts :

I remember ‘Ernie was a milkman ‘ ( older posters only) :greengrin

[Lancs Harp]

Stephen Dobbie did all right for himself

[CropleyWasGod]

in regards to Hearts players Alex Young,Dave McKay, Arthur Mann,Colin Cameron come to mind.

Gary Naysmith.

Davie Weir

[Iggy Pope]

Rolf Harris has held his own down there too, must have at least as many appearances as Blackley or Brownlie did with Newcastle. What a ***** downer this one is, wish I hadn’t looked.

[Killiehibbie]

Gary Naysmith.

Davie Weir

Niemi done ok

[Hiber-nation]

Cameron a success?

Cameron was excellent for Wolves, definitely a success.

Anyway back to Hibs. Kevin Harper did well with Portsmouth in particular.

[O'Rourke3]

Brian Rice about 100 games for Cloughie's Forest.

He was a terrific young striker. Wish we could have held on to him longer. Never the same after injury but still did well for Rangers when he moved back north.

John Collins had a spell at Everton IIRC.

[G B Young]

Goram at Man U? Or am I imagining that? Think it might have been a loan deal.

Yep, played twice for Man U and was subbed off both games so their injured 2nd choice keeper could get a league winners medal 😂

I believe John McGinn's doing ok :flag:

Garry O’Connor at Birmingham and Barnsley

Four best you mean 😉

[The 90+2]

Nick Colgan played in a final for Barnsley.

Tony Caig kicked about the bench for Newcastle.

The most random has to be Shelton Martiis in the EPL under Mowbray at West Brom. It’s as believable as Derek Townsley turning up on love island.

[Chuck Rhoades]

See what you done there 🤣

Peter Cormack at Liverpool.

Apologies if mentioned earlier

[eezyrider]

Kevin Harper did okay. 119 appearances for Portsmouth and also playing for Derby, Norwich, Leicester and Stoke.

EZ

[brog]

Here's 2 teams of Hibs players who played at the top level in England. All post war, all UK, all went directly from Hibs to England, with exception of the great Joe & Lawrie L. Great majority (17) are internationalists & at least 4 won European trophies in England. Not sure our lesser neebors can match this. 4 2 4

Tommy Younger/Lawrie Leslie

Brownlie/Bremner
Blackley/Plenderleith
McNamee/Parke
Murphy/B Smith

Johnstone/Gibson

Harper/Durie

Sub, Marinello, who inspired the thread!!

John McNamee and Jim Scott in Newcastle’s Fairs Cup winning squad.Scott played in both legs of the final.

Your post got me thinking about the player links between Hibs and Newcastle.

The following players collectively made 2258 appearances for Hibs between them and scored 299 goals in the process. They all also played for Newcastle at some point with 999 appearances and 74 goals between them.

Ronnie Simpson

John Brownlie
John McNamee
John Blackley
Gary Caldwell

Ralph Callaghan
Darren Jackson
Tommy Craig
Michael O'Neil

John Connolly
Jim Scott

What other teams could you make a Hibs 11 out of ... Villa possibly?

Clayton Donaldson one of John Collins signings.

[Allez Hibs]

Kevin Harper
David Murphy

[Lancs Harp]

Lawrie Reilly frequently made it at Wembley :wink:

[KeithTheHibby]

Stephen Dobbie did really well down south.

[brog]

Jim Scott Newcastle United UEFA Cup 1969

Big Bad John McNamee wisnae too shabby either

Jim actually scored in the final. Bobby Moncur, who latterly managed Hearts, scored 3 over the 2 legs.

[gbhibby]

There is also Harry Hibbs didn't play for us but has a superb name. So Hibbs have played in the FA Cup final.

[stu in nottingham]

Clayton Donaldson has had a decent career in England.

Colin Stein for Coventry via a Glasgow club.

[HoboHarry]

Joe Harper had a spell at Everton....

[jgl07]

in regards to Hearts players Alex Young, Dave McKay, Arthur Mann, Colin Cameron come to mind.

Sorry but Arthur Mann didn't really make it in England unless you count Notts County and Mansfield.

Manchester City paid big money for Mann but he never really established himself making only 40 appearances in three years.

[Biggie]

Kenny Dalglish did ok down south.....😉
Ray Wilkins ?....does he count?

Had a look through this thread to see if Nicker was mentioned.-)

Yes ,Bobby was revered at Man City and also Oldham Athletic.


Some players from us over the years went down South and didn't set the heather on fire.


Bobby Johnstone certainly did !!




Edit


This below is an indication on the popularity of Bobby ,from an Oldham Athletic perspective

Either had a bar or one named after him in the main stand at Maine Road in the 80s

If you remember back to when Bobby Johnstone passed the Man City fans who came onto Hibs forums to pay condolences were top class, some cracking stories. Ditto when Joe Baker died. Their legends are indelible.

Have you seen the U Tube clip of the Scotland Hungary 1954 match.? Bobby scores of course.Another good one featuring Lawrie Reilly is the 1949 England/Scotland game.

[BILLYHIBS]

Jimmy O’Rourke told the story at St Pat’s 2014 that he was down at the old Maine Road Ground Manchester City with the other HIBS players and they were on a tour of the Stadium and they were shown a couple of trophies and busts of their great players Joe Mercer and Don Revie

Wee Jimmy collared the Commissionaire and said “ Excuse me but where is your best ever player?”
The Commissionaire twigged the accent and said “ Ah you’ll mean Nicker follow me.” They walked around the corner into a big grand entrance area with a huge marble staircase and there half way up the staircase was a huge portrait of Bobby Johnstone

[stu in nottingham]

Manchester City paid big money for Mann but he never really established himself making only 40 appearances in three years.

I'm not sure about 'made it' either (depending on the criteria) but he had a very good career in England, especially with Notts County who he played over 250 times for, many times alongside Don Masson. Saw him many, many times and he normally impressed. He was well loved and respected by Notts fans, whether playing midfield, left back or sweeper. The latter which I thought he was quite briliant at. A lovely guy, Arthur sadly died quite young in an industrial accident.

He scored for City in successive FA Cup Finals in 1955 and 1956. He was the first player to do that.

I went to a match at Maine Road in April 1997 for a match against Bolton Wanderers. Bobby Johnstone was introduced to the crowd to mark his departure from Manchester as he was returning to retire to the Scottish Borders.

Incidentally Mixu scored the equaliser for Bolton after Kinkladze had the opened for City. Bolton went on to win 2-1 and were promoted to the Premier League. Top marks to the Bolton fans for that match. They sang continually "We only hate Man United".

I once had a pint of Boddingtons in the ‘Bobby Johnstone’ kiosk at Maine Road. Half time v Gillingham. Made me feel so good that we had a stamp there, certainly a bit better than the pint did.
