I’ve always had a lot of time for Liam, can’t explain why as he was never used in interviews (from what I remember) but maybe when he did speak it was rare so I paid attention.

He was really good with us (as were everyone that we’ve had on), a genuinely nice guy who has had a really good career in football.

[Leitherhibs]

Looking forward to this immensely, seemed like a great character when he was with us, someone who really 'got it'.

Was delighted to have a guy of this quality as a person at our club.

Hope he goes on to have a good life after football.

Legend!

[sleeping giant]

What a guy.

[B.H.F.C]

Legend and an underrated player for me.

Driving to the Dundee game a few weeks ago and he was walking down Queen Street with his shopping bags. He still lives in Edinburgh and there’s only one place he should be on a Saturday afternoon. Should have guys like him in and about hospitality or whatever.

[The Spaceman]

Brilliant player for us and immortalised as a rock in the team that finally won us the Scottish Cup. Happy retirement Liam 👍

[Hiber-nation]

Loved Fonts. All the best for whatever you do next big man 👍

[Jim44]

Enjoy your retirement, Liam. Great servant of our club.

[The Harp]

That is some announcement from Liam - great guy. Hope he manages along to Easter Road whenever he can, he'll be assured of a warm welcome.
A' the best big man.

[Glory Lurker]

Legend.

[Carheenlea]

A real classy announcement from a great professional.

Enjoyed watching his time with us during that special cup winning spell and there will always be a seat for him in Easter Road.

[tonyrougier123]

Big fonts was as reliable a centre back as you’ll find,never hiding giving his all for the club. We were blessed with good defenders during his time at hibs,and he was a favourite of mine for his sheer commitment to the jersey and the club. Totally bought into what Hibernian was all about from the start of his time with us. Probably the worst time I could remember to come in to as well. Enjoy your new adventures fonts the worlds your oyster big man! GGTTH!!

[Bridge hibs]

Loved big Fonts and his Font of knowledge

[JimBHibees]

Always seemed a brilliant character which you can't get too many of. Represented the club magnificently and always seemed to appreciate the importance of the bond between players and fans. Happy retirement Liam.

[BILLYHIBS]

Absolute legend

Thanks for the memories big man

Always gave 100%

[Billy McKirdy]

I look forward to his first album coming out, not just a great player but a talented musician too.

What a ****ing dafty I am, Ive been searching for this interview thinking it was recent, until I checked the date 🤣

I listened to it again though and enjoyed it 😁👍

[O'Rourke3]

All the best Liam and thanks for the memories. I've probably not got over us letting him go. A very decent left sided centre back but seemed to be a big part of getting the team bonding. Legend.

[Murphys Touch]

Great post from the big guy - makes you a bit proud that guys come up the road from a completely different background and become one of “us” so quickly and how big an impact the club/team/support can impact their life.

On Fonts….really solid defender, comfortable on the ball but I think above all he was a real leader on and off the park.

Defo someone who should be around HTC helping the youths

[Ryan91]

Always liked big Fonts, though I'll always remember seeing him play for Hibs for the first time away at Alloa, thought he looked a bit of a huddy that day and wrote him off. Glad I was proven very wrong.
