Saw his home debut. Fat, probably hung-over and hadn’t trained. He was still the best player on the park - which maybe why we were relagated to following season.
He's here!

We were relegated the season Best was signed. Great box office move by Tom Hart but he was never going to keep us up single handed.

Great times though, I remember him and Angie opening a tyre centre at Piershill, crazy.

£2,000 a game? That must have been massive money back then and I wonder what would be the equivalent of that nowadays for us ?

It wasn't exactly the WC I'd have thought he would be in 😂

I was at Easter Road when we played the San Hose Earthquakes. 50p to get in but my Dad still lifted me and 3 cousins over.

It's the only room allowed to be so adorned, the good lady affectionately calls it the Hibs room, and she's a Hibby[emoji23]
