Peter Cormack
Corky was on the books as a schoolboy at Tynecastle but was given his senior chance by Hibs and took full advantage of that opportunity by breaking into the first team at just 16 years of age. At just 17 he scored in the famous win over Spanish giants Real Madrid and the following Saturday got two more at Ibrox in a 4-2 win. In 1970 he left to join Nottingham Forest where he scored 15 goals in 72 appearances before being transferred to Liverpool in 1972 where he bagged 21 goals in 125 appearances along with a hatful of medals. From there it was on to Bristol City and then back to Hibs before taking up coaching at Partick, Cowdenbeath and Hibs.
Peter Cormack won nine Scottish caps

Stevie Crawford
Stevie Crawford was born in Dunfermline in January 1974 and began his career at Raith Rovers before moving to Millwall in July 1996. London life didn’t seem to suit him and a year later he joined Hibs where he stayed for three years before moving to his home town club Dunfermline. From there he tried his luck in the south again when he joined Plymouth but again he didn’t settle and returned north to Dundee United in January 2005 before moving on to Aberdeen in August of that year and then back to Dunfermline in August 2006.
Stevie Crawford won 25 Scottish caps
Alex Cropley
Alex Cropley was born in January 1951 in Aldershot of Scottish parents and earned the nickname ‘Sodjer’ due to his birth place. A slight but wiry frame ensured he would never shirk a tackle and his bravery was ‘rewarded’ with a broken leg whilst at Easter Road, Hibs being his first senior club. A member of the celebrated early 70’s side nicknamed Turnbull’s Tornadoes, he was famously amongst the goalscorers on 1 January 1973 when Hearts were humbled 7-0 at Tynecastle. Cropley left Hibs for Arsenal in 1974 before joining Aston Villa in 1976 and subsequently played for Portsmouth and had a spell in Canada.
Alex Cropley won two Scottish caps
Arthur Duncan
Arthur Duncan was brought to Easter Road from Partick Thistle by Willie MacFarlane and was a magnificent servant to Hibs in amassing 446 League appearances, a club record. ‘Nijinsky’ as he was to known was a flying winger who played in the Turnbull’s Tornadoes side of the early seventies and remained in the fold until the early eighties, moving to the left back slot to great effect. After 14 years of sterling service he left to join Meadowbank Thistle and remains there to this day (now Livingston FC) as a fitness coach
Arthur Duncan won six Scottish caps
Gordon Durie
Born in Paisley in 1965 Durie began his long playing career with East Fife where he soon caught the eye of bigger clubs and was transferred to Hibs where he formed a formidable strike force with Steve Cowan. Left Hibs for Chelsea in 1985 and had six seasons at Stamford Bridge before making the short journey across London to join Tottenham Hotspur in August 1991 before heading north to Ibrox and Rangers in November 1993. Had seven seasons at Ibrox before traveling east in September 2000 and joining Hearts where he remained until his retirement from playing
Gordon Durie won forty three Scottish caps
Stephen Glass
Stephen Glass was born in Dundee in May 1976 and started his professional career at Aberdeen in October 1994. Four years later the graceful and talented left sided midfield player was transferred to Newcastle United for a fee reported as £650,000 but injuries and bad luck restricted his chances and he was freed to join Watford in June 2001. Two years on he departed Vicarage Road and joined Hibs where he remains a valued first team squad player.
Stephen Glass won a single Scottish cap
Andy Goram
Andy Goram was born in Bury, Lancashire in April 1964 of Scottish parents. His Dad, Lew Goram had once played in goal for Hibs and it was a feat young Andy would emulate during a very colourful career which began with Oldham Athletic in August 1981 before moving north to join Hibs for a reported £350,000 in October 1987. After more than 150 appearances for Hibs Goram was transferred to Rangers in June 1991 for a staggering £1m and in almost seven years at Ibrox he won many major honours. When Rangers released him in May 1998 he went on to play for numerous clubs including Motherwell, Manchester United, Coventry and Queen of the South before taking the position of goalkeeping coach at Airdrie United
Andy Goram won 43 Scottish caps
