Yes it’s King Kenny playing in Alan Sneddon’s testimonial

Never left the centre circle but, he still managed to run the show. Set up all Keith, Keith, Keith's goals that night IIRC 🤔

Apparently his 'fee' was a fish supper and a bottle of cream soda!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Joe Jordan.

[Roxyhibee]

A non football mate of mine did some genealogy during Covid and said he discovered his grandad played for Hibs straight after WW1 but just for one or two games. Adam Fleming.? I checked all my books but info and pictures are difficult to find, mainly because hardly any were taken at that time.

[Donegal Hibby]

Knew the year by the Hibs shirt though couldn't remember king Kenny playing in sneddons testimonial . Alan Sneddon signed for us in 1980 I think and in 1981 something unusual happened to him that year , anyone remember what it was ?

A bit on Adam Fleming here though am guessing that you may have already seen this. Also played for Dundee and Bathgate.

According to this, Celtic never gave Alan Sneddon the medal he was due.

Joe Jordan.

I was not sure if Joe turned up for that game, or may be getting mixed with King Pats testimonial.
Was at the game and just remember Kenny D stayed in the centre circle spraying passes around to willing runners and Keith got his 4 goals from his passes, true to say that class is permanent.

Joe Jordan was Pat Stanton's game.

No surprise there is there?

Eamonn Bannon

Great player in his day

I remember that game too although it was more noteable for the refereeing performance. Ronnie Rosenthal played for us once im a bounce match.

I remember him growing up , had 2 spells at hertz and one at Dundee United , Sadly we got him to late at maybe 35 or 36 year old . Good player though

Patrick Viera. :greengrin
Wouldn’t get a game ahead of Jimmy Jeggo.

Yes thanks for that 👍 I do think due to that fraught period straight after WW1 and lots of players coming and going between clubs (apparently), there’ll be absolutely no chance of a photo of him in our strip. Cheers though

[h1bs4life]

Maybe my old memory playing tricks on me but seem to remember an away game against Berwick Rangers a long time ago where we had a left sided player who broke his leg on his debut. All the buses were met by the English polis and we were escorted into the ground.

Sadly, you’re probably right, but you just never know so keep searching!

Found a bit more now that someone mentioned his name.
It was Iain Hendry broke his leg in the 1st minute of his debut away to Berwick 31/01/81.
Can’t remember if he was a trialist or on a short contract but the club either gave him a contract or extended his contract to cover his recovery.
He came on as a sub on 06/03/82 in cup game against Patrick Thistle and then headed back down south

Thorten Schmuggee ?
That one's a beauty - played in a win at Pittodrie IIRC? But we couldn't sign him due to something to do with a dug?! :confused:

Otso Virtanen - only played in the home leg against Brondby I think?

[BILLYHIBS]

Dermot McCaffrey sent off on his debut versus The Sheep at Pittodrie

Doesn’t make him a bad person :greengrin

I think that was his only start, but he came on for Oxley in the cup replay in Inverness after the contact lens incident. If he's notable then it's for this cameo role in the magnificent Conrad Logan saga.

Not ‘one game’ game players but certainly in recent years, the two most influential ‘short term’ players were The Polar Bear (for obvious reasons) but imho and even more so, the 4 week loan spell of Kris Commons in Dec ‘16/Jan ‘17 was the boost we needed to kick on and get promotion. 5 games but importantly 2 game winning goals. The winner against Falkirk would still be travelling in orbit had the net not got in the way!! LOL

[eastmainsmsh]

Stuart McCaffrey made his Debut midweek at parkhead left for Aberdeen at end of season

He's gone on to have a good career in Finland.
