Players you forgot played for Hibs

[Donegal Hibby]

I found a couple that I forgot played for us and one I don't remember at all
Janos matyus .
Charalampos Mavrias .
Allan smart :dunno:

[Onceinawhile]

Janis matyus was a Hungarian left back, who was here for a season early 00s?

Mavrias came in under lennon for 6 months. Greek left sided player.

Allan smart was on loan from Watford, maybe about 98,99, turn of the millennium.

[Since452]

Fabian Yantorno. Someone mentioned him the other day. Had completely forgotten about him. Was excited when we signed him as well.

Think Mavrias was at Sunderland and had moved for big money though I might be wrong on that , Allan smart is the one I don't remember being at us at all .

We signed Matyus and Zambernardi in the same window I think?

[WhileTheChief..]

There's been loads in the last 10 years that are instantly forgettable.

I'd list them, but I don't remember who they are.

Guessing this will be a short thread :wink:

[Pretty Boy]

Freddie Daquin is one I can never really remember being at Hibs. Worse still he was here twice.

I can remember him at Dunfermline but can't really recall a thing about his time at Hibs.

[Hiber-nation]

Keith Watson. 9 games as well. Another of these solid but unspectacular defensive cover loans.

[Donegal Hibby]

Craig Rocastle played 13 times for Hibs and wasn't a bad player if I remember correctly, think he was around the mowbray era which was a time we were playing really good football.

Always remember Allan Smart as he’s still on loan at us when you start the greatest computer game of all time.

I don't think I have forgot any players that played for Hibs. I actually think I have the opposite problem. I think I have a false memory of reading somewhere that Stanley Matthews made some guest appearances for Hibernian during the war years. However I may have made a complete fool of myself, as I have argued the toss about this on a few platforms, and when I went racing to get the links, the links no longer existed. I was sure I also read this in Gordon Smith's book written by his son, but I am beginning to suspect I might have just dreamt this up, as his Wikipedia page only mentions Airdrieonians, Morton and Rangers.

It is hard to say where this false memory comes from. But I don't think it is getting mixed up with Matt Busby, as I have been aware of Matt Busby's appearances for Hibs ever since I read it in the Wee Red Book in my late teens.

I suspect someone else on the internet has discovered that Stanley Matthews once played for Hibernians, and not realising that it was actually Hibernians of Malta, wrongfully assumed that it must have been during the war years, and included this in their Stanley Matthews wartime article, before realising their error and removing it. But I am almost 100% certain that I read this in a rather reputable looking article.

Meant Boozy had to drop back a bit and get involved in the churn of midfield whereas Rocastle relished that position.

From what I remember the Hibs fans liked him and thought he was a good player , he ended up injured at us and signed for Sheffield Wednesday on a free i think . Didn't know he was back at us a second time for a trial but Mixu didn't offer him a contract , he also had one at Aberdeen were he played one game for them also.

There is a way of downloading and playing about with your settings/downloading something that acts as a pretend cd rom or something. There’s YouTube explanations.. I also had to download something to make it so it would think I had enough space to save games properly. Bit of a faff and frustrating until it works 😁

Fortunately I found a copy online for a fair price last year and gave up on the dodgy downloads 👍

He went to Ferencvaros after leaving us. I was at an Ujpest Ferencvaros derby a few months after he left and he was playing. Ujpest won 6-0. That game was mental. One of the best football games I've ever been to.

[Winston Ingram]

He was. 3 month loan iirc under Mowbray. He was excellent

[ian cruise]

Phil Airey, loan from Newcastle. Can’t remember if he actually played but remember him signing.

I was sure he never kicked a ball for us, was the story not that he was too far away from his mum age couldn't settle as he still lived at home or am I making that up?


Regarding some of the other names raised, I thought Rosa was class, gutted he never made a big impact. Same with Grzegorz Szamotulski when he signed.

Watson I thought did absolutely fine and would have had no problem had he stayed, seek to remember it was when we had a few players who played the position though so wasn't a top requirement.

I'm fairly certain Ryan Gauld will feature on this list in a few years time. Still think he could have been a good player for us.

We were lucky he got homesick (and so close to home as well). Leigh Griffiths was his replacement.

Didn't know he was back at us a second time for a trial but Mixu didn't offer him a contract , he also had one at Aberdeen were he played one game for them also.

Was interested to see that he seems to have settled in Kansas and is coaching - some sort of career developer and also associated with Borussia Dortmund.

I wonder if he regrets not joining us permanently? He was ideally suited to Scottish football and looked the part. 2 or 3 seasons playing for us regularly might have been a great springboard for a career, a career that looks a wee bit disappointing written down relative to the careers some of the players he played with had?

[Carheenlea]

When it was announced that Demetri Mitchell had returned to the squad a month or so back I`d actually forgot he was still with us. With the squad as bloated as it was he wasn't the only one if truth be told.

Which is quite the thing as I'm sure he said he didn't actually like football and it was just a job to him. I would imagine it would be quite difficult to be an engaging pundit if you don't actually like football. Saying that, Steven Thompson hasn't been held back not liking football either.

I think that was the reason he gave when asked why he always looked so miserable, especially after scoring.

[Roxyhibee]

Rab Kilgour - stayed opposite me as a kid. Good player but not even the best player in the street or when playing knock out.!

Only played a few games for us, was he brought in as short term cover for Bobby Smith going.? I cannot recall that time very well as I missed a few games back then - just started drinking, girls and punk had arrived and Hibs were getting poor to watch.

Alex McGregor, joined Hibs in the summer of 1973, following a free transfer from Ayr United, around the same time as Iain Munro joined from St Mirren.

Iain's time at Hibs was clearly far more successful, as Alex left Hibs a year later without playing a first team game.

This was in an era when transfers were few and far between and any deals done, brought even greater interest from the fans, than today, due to their infrequent manner.

In the same summer, Johnny Hamilton, the usual substitute in the TT's famous 1972/3 season, wasn't offered a new deal by Hibs and he moved to rangers on a free transfer, where he won a league title medal, a couple of years later.

Paul McGlinchey 1980 and free scoring centre forward Jim McKay from Brora that we couldn’t agree a fee on

There used to be lots of spare goalies around Scott Gallagher and Cammy Bell spring to mind as does Darnell Johnston who might as well have been a goalie for all the use he was.

I remember Tam Stevens debut, he was highlighted in the Friday edition of the evening news, with a picture displaying long flowing hair, as was the rage in 1973. It was a bit of a shock when the teams came out the following afternoon.

Paterson, yip, a really good start for him personally, although the draw wasn't regarded as a good result in the seventies, he made around 14 appearances, including a used sub.

Far more high profile, but with a combined total of just 10 appearances, Isak Refvik & Svein Mathisen, with the former being refused a work permit. Isak made a storming start, against, then, high flying, Morton, scoring the 2 goals in the return leg, that overturned Moron's narrow 1st leg lead. This put us in the semi against Aberdeen. Isak made 7 appearances, but I'm sure his brace was the only goals he scored for Hibs and Svein only played three times, one of them was where he starred in the 2-2 draw with Celtic, a few days after the Morton game, Isak didn't play in that game because of the work permit dispute, that ended with Tom Hart being rebuked by the home office [we know who's side the hibs fans were on].

I was at Tam’s only game for HIBS versus Motherwell a 0-1 loss

I thought he played well

He was a good player but he never really got a chance at Hibs even although he was on the books from 1971-1974

He went on to become a Head Coach at Cowdenbeath and Edinburgh City

It was difficult for him, with Onion, just 19 in 1971 and already a full internationalist & then Des Bremner coming in towards the end of 1972, just in time to take the right back position, following JB's horrific injury. Shame his debut was during the slump in the second half of the 72/3 season, the final game, the 0-3 loss, against Celtic, there was a number of young lads that had been brought in. Bobby Smith & Tony Higgins were amongst the ones that made an impact on the first team.

Grzegorz Szamotulski. Good keeper actually.

Szamotulski was a good keeper at a time when we seemed only capable of signing terrible Keepers

[Donegal Hibby]

Don't know if he was mentioned earlier though didn't we have a guy called Roland Edge at one time ? No absolutely nothing about him btw

[overdrive]

As I posted on another thread a few weeks ago, I don't get why Darnell Johnson gets stuck in the pish English young centre back category. He signed when we were managerless. He came on as a sub in the 65th minute at Celtic Park at 2-0 down. Did OK (we didn't concede) and was unluckily retrospectively sent off. Heckingbottom came in, did well initially so stuck with the players that were getting him results, meaning he didn't get another game. So 25 mins + injury time of game time after which the team were performing well, so he didn't get a chance.

He was a fine hard sweeper (he may have left Scotland) stepped in for Sloop and remember him having a great game against the hun at Hampdump in the cup, may have been the game when whatshisname said Rankers are rubbish.

Good player he played in both semi ties I was at both

Remember his blonde thinning locks

Think he ended up stateside after a spell with Dundee

Had the wanderlust as he was off to SA at one point then changed his mind

Kenny Davidson was going to be the next Peter Marinello great winger think he got a bad injury. Alex McGee as well good wee centre moved on to Dundee.
Colin Grant as well, never really made it as well as expected.

Noticed on Livescores we had a player called Tikito that played for a couple of seasons. Had to look him up 🤣

I think that was my first ever away game on a Wednesday night and it was 0-0 , unfortunately after Dave Ewing calling Rangers rubbish in true Hibs fashion we got pumped in the replay .
On the plus side it was the first hibs game I heard the Hibs supporters singing the Jimmy, jimmy O’rourke everyone knows his name song.

Always felt for Dagnall at Hibs. Worked his backside off and sure there was a spell where he seemed to have shots cleared off the line, off the post or ruled out every week. Just couldn't get a goal for some reason
Don't think he was ever as bad as some said, his overall play was always decent, just horrible luck in front of goal

Apologies wasn't meaning you were, just most of the take I see him mentioned it's in a bad light and always thought he was decent just criminally unlucky .

Was brutally unlucky in the semi at PBS vs St Johnstone, could’ve had a hat trick but didn’t get any of them
