Coo! He was on Soccer AM once chatting fitba and he's never mentioned Hibs. Think he said he started following Liverpool as he studied in Norway where they have a big following.

He went to Libby High. He was head boy when I was in 1st or 2nd year.

[BILLYHIBS]

Ha Ha!

Was in a boozer behind the Rangers end at the 2007 League Cup Final and Lloyd Quinan SNP came sauntering in with his entourage

“Billyhibs how’s it gaun?”

I was in his class at School

[BILLYHIBS]

Dick Gaughan. Great Scottish folk singer. Oh and Begbie!

[Oscar T Grouch]

Didn't know Malcolm Ross had changed his name to jk.jpg.

Standard for the EEN, terrible article they reprint every so often. Surprised there isn't more mistakes apart from jk.jpg and the actual number of fans they highlight 10 not 12. The EEN is a chronically bad newspaper.

[hibsbollah]

Dick Gaughan. Great Scottish folk singer. Oh and Begbie!

Dick Gaughan is? Fantastic. I assumed he'd be a Lesser.

They do include both proclaimers and the two Murray brothers, so technically it's 12 :greengrin

Dev Alahan from Coronation Street has mentioned Hibs a couple of times. Jimmi Harkishin, who plays him has been seen at Easter Road.

Given the writers could have chosen any club and Wetherfield Rovers play in green I think there must be a bit Hibbiness about The Street!

[hibsbollah]

Inspector John Rebus (but not Ken Stott)

[Gloucester Hibs]

Inspector John Rebus (but not Ken Stott)

I'm sure in the books it's Siobhan Clarke who is the Hibs fan but you're right in the TV series it's Rebus

[itslegaltender]

Blackford used to travel on the Capital bus so not allegedly.

he also had plenty Hibs stuff in the background at his home during Covid. Good pal of Simon Pia.

[Fanforlife]

Davie Johnston, Guitarist for Elton John for donkey's years, Carrick Knowe Hibby

Ross Wilson, of the excellent Blue Rose Code. Fond of a wee Hibs reference now and again[emoji16]

Logan Roy of Succession fame is a big hibs fan.

I wonder what the background to that piece was. Brian Cox would have control over the club choice I'd have thought? Very enjoyable it was though!

"Go Hearts!"!

[cabbageandribs1875]

and a few names from our last famous hibby list

Irvine Welsh
John Leslie
Grant stott
Russell Brand ?
Bernard Gallagher
Dougray Scott
Alex Arthur
John Peel ?
Judy Murray
Chris Small
Gary Anderson
Jack Docherty
Finlay Quaye

You beautiful barstewards! :greengrin

Sure EEN did this article about 3 months ago.

And again, how has it taken this many posts to get a mention of our biggest worldwide fan - E.T.!

Inspector John Rebus (but not Ken Stott)

In the books he a supporter of the Blue Brazil if I remember correctly.

Siobhan is the hibby!

[Colr]

Catherine Zeta Jones

Arthur Conan Doyle must have been a hibby!

[Oscar T Grouch]

He did an interview recently, it was the writers choice. The writer originally said he was Canadian (Quebec) but then changed Roy's birthplace to Dundee, Cox's actual place of birth. The storyline of Logan's son buying hearts when Logan is actually a Hibee has no connection to Cox, it came from Jesse Armstrong's mind but given Logan's sons name who bought half of hearts is Roman, he musta done a bit of research on Scottish football :greengrin Brian Cox has never admitted supporting any team and has said he went to watch both Dundee teams growing up.

Ian was interviewed at home just a few weeks back and Lugton's Trilogy was on prominent display! He also recently raised an early day motion in memory of Jim O.

[basehibby]

Liverpool fan I think?
No - Stirling is a confirmed Hibby from yonks ago. Liverpool would be the ubiquitous 2nd team.

This daft comment about a fellow Hibby says a lot about you BB

He's really that famous!

[London Hibs FC]

The journalist who put the list together is a Hibs fan.

[Bobo]

Robert De Niro after pinning his colours to our mast during Alex McLeish's time in charge. He sent Alex a good luck message prior to the 2001 scottish cup final.

The attached article, about David Beckham, from 2004, lists De Niro as a fan.

He is a big Hibby. I met him at a gig here in Liverpool a few years ago and we chatted Hibs for ages. It was when Yogi was boss and struggling a bit and Gaughan wasn’t impressed!

Why no John Leslie alongside Grant Stott? Has he been "cancelled"? 🤔

And after against us being the 1st time he wore no. 10 for Barcelona.

My parents were big fans and grew up with his music, saw him live a few times too.

Isn’t the bassist from 5 Seconds of Summer not a Hibby? I’m sure he wore a Hibs top in one of their videos.

I watched quite a bit of him tearing into Boris Johnson at times and when I found out he was a hibby it made it all the sweeter 😂. Seems a good guy.
