Most disliked Hibs players

[Edina Street]

I have been a member of Hibs.net long enough to gather that Gary Caldwell and Kevin Thomson are disliked by many. Even one of my boyhood idols Andy Goram came in for a lot of criticism in the Andy Goram thread. I personally can't say I dislike any of them.

I did for a while have reservations regarding Derek Riordan and his almost public spat with John Hughes, which I believed was detrimental to team performance, and I chose to take John Hughes's side. I had similar reservations with the invincible Rob Jones when he allegedly lead a player revolt against another of my boyhood idols John Collins. I even temporarily had reservations with undisputed Hibs legend Pat Stanton when I learned that he did not get on with Eddie Turnbull whom I hold in even greater esteem. So it seems if there is ever a fall out between a player and a manager I will usually side with the manager. But, I still can't say I dislike any of the above mentioned.

I was even at Ibrox for the Ivan Sproule hat-trick and personally witnessed Ian Murray give us the one finger salute at the end of the game. I still can't say that made me dislike him.

If there was a Hibs player I did dislike, then it would have to be Martin Scott for seriously assaulting Sean Welsh, and leaving the lad on the sidelines for eight weeks with a fractured cheekbone.

However it would be interesting to hear which Hibs players you actually "dislike" and your reasoning for it.

[WeeRussell]

Have you heard Kevin Thomson co-commentating? That sealed the deal for me.

[Pretty Boy]

Owain Tudur Jones.

That 'tackle' in the Hamilton play off still makes me angry.

[Donegal Hibby]

Florian Kamberi for me with his rotten attitude and comments about sevco which was quite sickening at the time . I was glad we got shot of him.

[marinello59]

Andy Walker.

Yes. I should have mentioned him in my OP along with Derek Riordan, Rob Jones and Pat Stanton.

I have reservations with Florian for slightly different reasons, with my reasons being his part in Neil Lennon leaving Hibs.

Matt Doherty

Good call.

Zibi Malkowski is bar none the worst player I have ever seen for us but wouldn't say I dislike him, he just could not cope under pressure which isn't really his fault.

[Irish_Steve]

Michael Nelson - a true huddy of a player

[Mibbes Aye]

I took a real dislike to Stevie Crawford, more than could be justified.

Scott Allan in his first spell used to annoy the hell out of me for costing us possession trying to hit a sublime pass that went astray, when there was an equally effectve simpler pass. He seemed to cut that side out when he returned, still made the sublime passes but with a higher completion rate and also played the simpler ones. I reckon Lewis Stevenson had probably took him aside and had a quiet word.

[Edina Street]

I could never take to Garry O’Connor, I’ve no idea why I just did not like him.

Garry O'Connor broke my heart when he left for Lokomotiv Moscow. I was proud of him though when he donated his signing on fee to Hibernian. However my heart was broken again when it was pointed out to me that this was a tax scam. I refused to believe it at first, just like I once refused to believe that Puff the Magic Dragon was anything other than a friendly dragon that lived by the sea, but slowly I began to accept it. Then we resigned him and allegedly he was bragging that he was away to Rangers at the end of the season, he could not even out run a police officer, but I was hardened to him by now. Funnily enough though, I still can't say I dislike him. I just wish Hibernian were able to keep players like him.

[EricM]

Paul Hartley

Remember him being a nobody when he played for us then being frustratingly good when he was at Hearts and Celtic

I’ve also just remembered him goading the hibs away support when he scored a penalty for Aberdeen, that’s just sealed it for me

[LewysGot2]

Some obvious ones - Doherty being right up there and Kevin Broken Glass M8 likewise who, if he were chocolate, would eat himself.

Poor Rankin, Nish and Craig getting it from folk for probably no reason other than their mediocrity :greengrin

Hartley was a weasel at us but sadly went on to a pretty decent career, to be fair.

Derek Rodier anyone. :confused::greengrin

[Since452]

Actually quite liked Paul Harley at Hibs. Just struggled to get in to a really good side.

He scored a cracker against Dunfermline. He was a bit lightweight.

Rowan Vine - never a footballer

[GRA]

When we got rid of two decent defensive midfielders and signed Josh Vela... Closely followed by Fraser Mullen.

[Edina Street]

Rowan Vine - never a footballer

I felt the same about both Rowan Vine and James Collins. I actually believe that it was James Collins whom ultimately lead to Pat Fenlon resigning. Had Leigh Griffiths been playing when the Aberdeen goalkeeper fell on his backside at Easter Road on 26/10/2013 and passed the ball straight to him he would simply pass the ball into the empty net with his left foot for 1-1, but not James Collins. He first had to control the ball with his left foot, then switch it to his right foot, and then try and curl the ball around the keeper from an impossible position. Instead, we went on to lose 2-0 and I am pretty sure Pat Fenlon pretty much resigned straight after that game.

However as people I still can't say I disliked them.

[Bishop Hibee]

Tudor Jones was the worst. Poundland Bale more interested in golf than football.

[EdinMike]

Surprised no one has mentioned Pa Kujabi yet…

[J-C]

Hate is a strong word, dislike maybe.

Thomson for his broken glass comments and latterly his Hun love in when commentating.

Kamberi for all the bloody step overs thinking he was Ronaldo and his comments when he went to the Hun.

Craig for all the pointing instead of just being a better player

Rowan Vine and Tudor Jones for basically just being ***** players.

Whilst I don’t hate him Derek Riordan frustrates the hell out of me. He had more natural talent in one bone than most SPL footballers have in their whole body and done nothing with it.

He should have been the best Scottish player for a generation IMO but unfortunately didn’t have the professionalism or work effort to match his ability and ended up with one SPL winners medal / Scottish cup medal as a Celtic benchwarmer and 3 Scotland caps to show for his career.

Lee Griffiths didn’t also didn’t make as much of hiscareer as he could have but gave it a much better shot than Riordan did.

[basehibby]

Brian Hamilton. Useless prick.
This - while he was part of the 91 cup winning side, he besmirched that honour by defecting to the Jambos and coming out with some pish in the press about rather being a postie than play for Hibs. I remember tearing his image out of the Hibs calendar and ceremonially burning it in the ashtray such was my ire at the prick!

[The_Exile]

Ray Wilkins

This is the only Hibs player I've actively disliked. The rest can't help being pash, Wilkins was just a total welt.

[heretoday]

I don't hate anyone who played for Hibs. That's a strong word which has lost its force down the years due to overuse.
I didn't much like the players who took us down in that ghastly match against Hamilton. Butcher got the blame but they really were a feckless bunch.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Paul Tosh.

[Wilson]

This is the only Hibs player I've actively disliked. The rest can't help being pash, Wilkins was just a total welt.

He was too old when he came to us. Played 16 times for us but didn't play many games after that. If our current recruitment team signed such a player it would be carnage on here.

I have some sympathy for players like Wilkins or Kuqi or Johansson. They don't want to stop but their time has come - at least at our level. We shouldn't sign them.

Anyway, Wilkins holds legendary status at some big clubs and his passing was well respected. He wasn't the player for us but may he rest peace all the same.

7 SPL titles, 3 Scottish Cup Winners medals and 4 League Cup winners medals would kind of suggest Leigh's career was more of a different stratosphere to Riordans.��

Where did it all go wrong.?

Wilkins was supposedly a really nice guy, I heard from a few players at the time that he couldn't do enough to assist the younger guys in the dressing room. When he left ER he gave them all his mobile and said that he'd always be on the end of the line if they needed any help on or off the field.

It wasn't his fault his legs had gone when we brought him to ER.

Hamilton was my number one thought when I read this thread.

On a side note, I'm trying to think the last player our filthy neighbours signed that (previously or directly) played for us. We've certainly signed a few in the past few years that have had history with them, including the current manager.

Hamilton was before Darren Jackson, surely must be one more recent.

Can't blame Wilkins for being too old, though I think it was inappropriate that he went over and applauded the Rangers fans at the end of a 0-7 thrashing at Ibrox, but I am sure he still tried his hardest for Hibs during the game.

P.S

I was not at Ibrox for the 0-7, thank goodness, so apologies if Ray Wilkins did not applaud the Rangers fans after the final whistle. It is second hand information.

[Since452]

I really dislike Glenn Middleton for some reason.

Same.

[MWHIBBIES]

Thirded. Wee weirdo. Absolutely gash for us. Plays against us like it's the world cup final.

[Edina Street]

Going back a bit, struggled with Joe Harper.

I was still dead during Joe Harper's days, so don't know much about it. But I did read in a Hibs book that Eddie Turnbull's decision to sign Joe Harper puzzled many Hibs fans that were already in love with Jimmy O'Rourke, whom got relegated to the bench, with many Hibs fans arguing that Jimmy O'Rourke was the more prolific goalscorer.

[Bridge hibs]

Kris Commons, delighted when we signed him but like Andy Walker, just seemed to have a dislike for us when he left, pricks

[Scorrie]

Brian Hamilton. Hopeless player and when he left, worked in a post office and said he’d rather lick stamps than play for Hibs IIRC. Never forgotten that after nearly 40 years. Good job I don’t bear grudges…

[May21/05/216]

Joe Harper nothing personal against him but ned made a massive mistake in replacing jimmy o'Rourke with Joe as it changed the mood in the dressing room I'm not blaming Joe for signing as he did score some great goals for us
But jimmy was a far better player for hibs

Legs like tree trunks slower than a week in the jail twinkle toed and strangely nimble on the ball

I guess I was spoilt by the class that went before

Scored a barrow load for us and always comes across as a funny guy

Was pleased he was part of the SFA party that handed over the holy grail to us

[KeithTheHibby]

Ryan McGovern. Looked great when he came up from Man City on loan. Once he had a permanent deal he was utter ****.
His dreadful pass in the play off game against Hamilton which led to their first goal was typical of his performances. He never played for Hibs again thank ****.

[kentao]

Always had a dislike for Brian Hamilton, although i would only be aged 10 when he left Hibs i always remember being pissed off when hearing on the radio he had just scored on his Hearts debut.

Liam Craig is another I couldn`t stand, looked a no bad player at Saints then came to Hibs and felt he was an imposter, never captain material and a heart of a mouse. Bumped into him and his family at the Falkirk Wheel before the week of the play off clash with Rangers and he was actually a really nice guy.

[hibbybob]

Can’t say I dislike any Hibs player as long as they give 100% when playing. Unfair to boo any player due to a lack of skill - that’s the fault of whoever signed or chose to play them.

That said Mike Conroy was a lazy bar steward that I dislike to this day and Billy Broon is a disgrace of a man who can GTF. His attitude and comments in 2012 were disgraceful.

It is always disappointing when a player leaves, but at least he signed a new contract and pocketed us £2m.

It is not Kevin Thomson's fault that Hibernian attendances are not 40,000 per week, thus not big enough to pay his wages.

Edit: the thread title is "dislike" not hate which waters it down a bit. Still I'll keep these emotions for those who negatively impact my life.

Where did it all go wrong.?It didn't. He was brilliant for Hibs. I couldn't give a flying what tin pot two horse race medals, players pad their stats with.

Browns got loads but they were 'won' with celtic so they're worth next to nothing.

Riordan smashed the ball in the net for Hibs from pretty much anywhere in the other teams half and was part of one of the best Hibs teams I've seen. He's also one of us.

Aye it's a bit weird. Thought he was a class player though. In my opinion the best of that lads that broke through and if it wasn't for injury would have gone further. He's very much a hun now though.

I’ve never grudged any Hibs player moving on to better their career. Regardless of who they sign for.

There’s a way to go about it though, and as far as I’m concerned he went about it like a wee gimp.

He’s Rangers as **** nowadays tae. Probably cried when the queen died, sitting beside his picture of her on his bedside table.

[badabing67]

I don't think hate is the right word, but I do think that there have been players at the club that to me seemed to draw really vitriolic emotions from the support while playing for us. I mean players like Ally Brazil, Joe Tortolano and at times even Steven Whittaker in his second spell. I always thought those guys got treated really poorly by sections of the support. Genuinely felt sorry for them, some of the abuse they had to put up with was shocking. imo.

[HarpOnHibee]

Matt Doherty. No other player comes close.

[Edina Street]

Matt Doherty. No other player comes close.

It is actually a shame that he made the comments he did after the 2012 Scottish Cup Final, because he would have actually been a terrific signing for us and pocketed us a fair amount.

Had Matt Doherty been at right-back against Malmo we probably would never have suffered that 0-7 mauling caused by ex Jambo Fraser Mullen. We also would never have had to replace Mullen with Lewis Stevenson at right-back.

I liked Brian Hamilton

Very much a water carrier that did much of the unseen work

All Hibs players that played with him speak highly of him including Lexo

Met him once in Hospitality seemed a decent bloke as well

[Halmyre Hibee]

Never really disliked any Hibs player even though many moved to other clubs. Of course a few engineered moves away but that’s life. Even my favourites like Pat Stanton & Jimmy O’Rourke left but given the chance they would have stayed put.

[Since452]

I thought Hamilton was a good player and liked him at Hibs. Only started to dislike him when he moved to Hearts, obviously. Was young at the time but remember being really pissed off at him!

[overdrive]

Another vote for Matt Doherty, closely followed by Kevin Thomson.

Doherty, though a decent player was a welt for his comments throughout his time with us. I don't just mean the Cup Final comments either. In his interview when he first signed, it was clear he had no idea who he had just signed for. I'm sure he said something in it as well which implied he thought we were Hearts.

My dislike of Thomson is more for his post-playing career as a Rangers fan boy.

Should really distinguish between duff players whose skill level/performance you thought was not good enough for Hibs (it was Ally Brazil for me back then) and those you did not take to while playing for Hibs, even if they were half decent. Kamberi for me me me, although I did like him at first.

Gary Caldwell.

I thought Gary Caldwell was a very good defender for Hibs. My only regret is that we never got to see the Caldwell brothers in central defence. Though It was frustrating when he left Hibernian on a free transfer.

Guy was a class act

A joke he came right into the 2012 Cup Final side after a lengthy spell out injured but that was more down to Fenlon

[big gogs]

I thought Hamilton was a good player and liked him at Hibs. Only started to dislike him when he moved to Hearts, obviously. Was young at the time but remember being really pissed off at him!
If I remember correctly,hearts paid us £300,000,I forgave him immediately.

Picked up a knock in the 4-0 home win versus Dunfermline

Missed Caley away 0-2 but Hibs rested a few anyway

Hooked in the final after only 42 minutes obviously not fit should never have started

Arpinon was scuppered by injury, also by there being a fairly high bar set by the likes of Latapy around that time.

Excellent player though, who we never saw the best of. I knew a French guy around that time who said he was a superb player in France and was in no doubt he’d have done better for us if he hadn’t been injured so much. Seemingly he was on whopping wages so we shelled out a fair whack for little footballing return though and pound for pound he was a bit of a disaster.

[leith lynx]

Always disliked Tony Higgins aka The Hulk for some weird reason as a Hibs player

Legs like tree trunks slower than a week in the jail twinkle toed and strangely nimble on the ball

I guess I was spoilt by the class that went before

Scored a barrow load for us and always comes across as a funny guy

Was pleased he was part of the SFA party that handed over the holy grail to us
Big Tony Higgins is a great guy, always sticks up for us and was proud to play for the jersey, despite him being a Glaswegian!

[leith lynx]

Rowan Vine - never a footballer

Couldn't agree more, did he ever score a goal for us?

[leith lynx]

Brian Hamilton. Hopeless player and when he left, worked in a post office and said he’d rather lick stamps than play for Hibs IIRC. Never forgotten that after nearly 40 years. Good job I don’t bear grudges…

Stuart Turnbull, he was a player that made Brian Hamilton look like Lionel Messi.

[Mibbes Aye]

Alan Maybury
Van Zanten

Who was the other RB we got from Killmarnock, I think, Clancy? I remember him being dire whenever he wasn’t injured.

I think there's a relationship between expectation and performance that leads us to dislike. Certainly with Maybury I think there was an expectation of him being a fairly solid back-up player, with a wealth of experience. He actually played more often than I care to remember but didn't live up to our hopes and expectations.

David Van Zanten I think is too easily dismissed. Firstly, he has the sort of name you could associate with a globally-successful 80s American rock guitarist - I'm thinking big hair, stadium sell-outs, dry ice, lasers the lot. You don't get players like that very often.

Secondly, when he was at Hibs I reckon the two best wingers in the league were probably McGeady and Andy Driver. My memory is that Van Zanten always looked comfortable with either of them, to the extent that at least once McGeady had to change wings. I do recall a game from then when McGeady had scored twice but I don't think he was matched up against DVZ.

[pepe]

He never caught the eye when playing but when he was injured or suspended he was missed IMO.

he told Graham Speirs "hibs fans don’t understand Brian Hamilton" and I think we do not understand a defensive midfielder

Pa-Kujabi for me for being utterly crap, the 'Gambian Roberto Carlos' wouldn't even make the starting 11 for a Sunday league team. His part in the 5-1 result. Also his comically bad attempts at free kicks.
Also noticeable mentions for the rogues gallery of rubbish Hibs keepers over the years. Simon Brown, Zibi Malkowski and Oli Gotskalksson in particular.

I recall him scoring a cracker at Tannadice, I was with my xgf at the game at the time, she was more amused at some balloon blowing up the line (an actual balloon, not a former player, lino etc..😜) than the game it self!

I think he came with a bit of fanfare but injury prevented him kicking on at us.

Subbed because he was injured, when we were winning the match. What a dreadful example. He and Hibs were playing well before that. Something like 9 players missed that game injured. Really a bit ridiculous to imply he just didn't fancy it.

Aye he took the huff once or twice but that was far outweighed by scoring in a Derby and these goals against the sheep and Raith. Plus plenty other magic moments.

Compare that to the likes of Vine and Tudur Jones who basically disgraced the jersey.

Remember that game vividly as it was the first game of the season and the Huns were sniffing around Scott Allan and were up for it

‘ He’s one of our own etc’

King Dom’s body language was off from the start not helped by the fact that he had missed an early open goal when he ballooned the ball over the crossbar from close range when it looked easier to score and just did not look in the mood and could not wait to come off

I agree with the OP King Dom could be petulant and had to be in the mood and not too cold

His attitude was not the best

Brilliant never the less

I remember he lined up on the right wing that day maybe he wanted to play on the left or through the middle?

We weren't up for that game at all. We had 9 players injured. Rangers had a new manager and new team and were actually up for it. We started well but got well pumped with a reserve side really. Malonga was injured. That is why he came off.

Anthony Stokes is a very controversial character. He was one of my favourites from the Yogi Hughes 2009/10 season, and I was gutted when he left for Celtic. Became a hero with his two goals in the Scottish Cup Final against Rangers. But as a firm believer in "the Golden Rule" of do unto others, I simply can't condone his assault conviction, and the horrific nature of it. His stalking conviction sounds bad as well. The witness not turning up at court for his headbutting case is also a bit suspect. Very sad indeed.

We had a barren squad

It was early into the season

We had injuries and missing players down to the bare bones

Maybe he started with a niggle ?

As I said he did not look comfortable from the off

I do not remember him sustaining any injury as a result of a heavy or bad tackle during the match so maybe a pull

Looking at the footage he looks heavy legged and uncomfortable throughout

King Dom will be the first to tell you he would have hoped to have started more games at Hibernian FC

Other players probably preferred

Probably saw himself as a starter

Only Cummings played more of the forwards. When you consider he joined on deadline day and missed 5/6 games with injury in his first season, he actually played almost every week when he was fit.

Both were starters in my eyes but any player that is not likely to start 20% of the games is clearly not a starter

I would expect a starter to be 90-100 % first pick

Personally I think there’s enough player slagging on this forum without further encouragement by starting a thread about Hibs players you dislike.
