World Cup Winners at Easter Road

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Emiliano Martínez will become the latest one to play a competitive fixture at Easter Road on Wed, there can't be many of them.

Dino Zoff for starters.

[easty]

Juninho for Celtc

Patrick Viera

Patrick Viera

Not competitive.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Gennaro Gattuso and Jack Charlton are another two.

[Scouse Hibee]

Robert Pires

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Robert Pires

Again not competitive!

[easty]

Gennaro Gattuso and Jack Charlton are another two.

Gattuso never played at Easter Road as a world cup winner.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Stéphane Guivarc'h was at Rangers but doesn't appear to have played against Hibs.

[007]

Gennaro Gattuso and Jack Charlton are another two.

Thought Gattuso too but he'd left Rangers before he'd won the WC. Does that still count?

[BILLYHIBS]

Jose Altafini

Came on for Juve second half 1974 and tore us a new one

Brazil 1958

Edit

Played group games in Sweden then got injured

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Jurgen Klinsmann

[Scouse Hibee]

Ian Callaghan

Edit: scrap that he was in66 squad but didn’t get a medal

[BILLYHIBS]

Jose Altafini

Came on for Juve second half 1974 and tore us a new one

Brazil 1958

Claudio Gentile and Geatano Scirea both Italy 1982 same game

[Seekyit]

Going back a while but didn’t Rott Weiss Essen have a couple of WC winners from the W Germany team in 1954?

[He's here!]

Not a Hibs game, but Jurgen Klinsmann and Oliver Khan played against Raith at ER in the Uefa Cup. Franz Beckenbauer and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge were watching in the old centre stand.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Don't think Kahn has won it.

[NYHibby]

Ian Callaghan

Edit: scrap that he was in66 squad but didn’t get a medal

He was awarded a medal retrospectively since he played in an earlier game in the tournament but just not the final.

Substitutions weren’t allowed at the world cup until some point in the 70s right?

[Frazerbob]

Claudio Caniggia

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Claudio Caniggia

Not a world cup winner.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Gattuso never played at Easter Road as a world cup winner.

True, was pre-world cup win.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Ian Callaghan

Edit: scrap that he was in66 squad but didn’t get a medal

Norman Hunter also in that squad but didn't play.

[wookie70]

Gennaro Gattuso and Jack Charlton are another two. I think Bobby Charlton was in the British Army team that played in the 60s at ER but not a competitive fixture

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Lionel Charbonnier may have played for the Huns at Easter Road, not sure? Again was in a world cup winning squad without featuring.

[Scouse Hibee]

Norman Hunter also in that squad but didn't play.

Callaghan did play a group game and was awarded medal 41 years later!

[The Baldmans Comb]

Jurgen Klinsmann

That's a brilliant one and will be lost on many.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Going back a while but didn’t Rott Weiss Essen have a couple of WC winners from the W Germany team in 1954?

I believe so, Helmut Rahn scored 2 goals including the winner in the final, but appears to have missed the game at Easter Rd.

[gbhibby]

Gattuso never played at Easter Road as a world cup winner.
Neither did Dino Zoff

[gbhibby]

Gordon Banks for Stoke. Friendly match.

[leith lynx]

I'm sure Nobby Styles played for Middlesbrough in a friendly against us at ER.

[Kato]

Some of the Vasco de Gama players who played against Hibs in 1956 won the WC with Brazil in 1958. Someone on here claimed 4 but I haven't looked into that.

Didn't play in the first leg either. None of the players who played for RWE against Hibs home or away were even in the West German squad in 1954 from what I can see.

[Silversand]

Not a Hibs game, but Jurgen Klinsmann and Oliver Khan played against Raith at ER in the Uefa Cup. Franz Beckenbauer and Karl-Heinz Rummenigge were watching in the old centre stand.Klinsmann also played for (W) Germany u21s v Scotland u21s at ER, I have the program somewhere.

Perhaps a few other future World Cup winners played.

Messi has played against Hibs of course, but not at Easter road.

[GreenCastle]

Several of that Barca side that played Hibs have won the World Cup over time..

Messi
Busquets
Pedro
Henry
Valdes

[Up-the-slope]

Gennaro Gattuso and Jack Charlton are another two.

Was he not a winner AFTER playing at ER?

[DH1875]

Was he not a winner AFTER playing at ER?

So are a few other names mentioned in the thread.

[GreenCastle]

Also worth noting Villa just signed a player for 51 / 52 million.

Most expensive transfer fee to ever play at ER ? (If he plays?).

Joelinton played for Newcastle v Hibs in 2019 - he was bought for 40 million.

[007]

Joelinton played for Newcastle recently - he was bought for 40 million.

Based on the Transfermarkt values their squad is worth about 50 times ours. We've got a small chance, best odds on a win on Wednesday is 10/1 (was 6/1 a day or 2 ago).

[eastmainsmsh]

Bernard lama West Ham prescseason ?

[Baader]

Lionel Charbonnier may have played for the Huns at Easter Road, not sure? Again was in a world cup winning squad without featuring.

Was third choice keeper in France 98 squad. Played at ER I think as sure I remember him in a game. Signed for Huns just after France won it.

[hibsdaft]

I've only skimmed the thread but it strikes me that unless Stephanie Guivarche played at ER in his spell with the Huns, then the Villa keeper will be the first World Cup holder to play at ER? Is that right?

[nonshinyfinish]

Assuming the rules are that they have to have won the WC before they played us and it has to be a competitive game vs Hibs, I think this one counts…


Jose Altafini

Came on for Juve second half 1974 and tore us a new one

Brazil 1958

Edit

Played group games in Sweden then got injured

…unless he's excluded for not playing in the final.

Wiki have him as a World Cup winner in 1958 under the name Mazzola but he did not play in the final scoring in the earlier rounds

He also played for Italy after securing citizenship but sadly no cigar

[nonshinyfinish]

You didn't mention it being against Hibs in your OP.

Wasn't my OP…

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Wasn't my OP…

Aye, just realised that, sorry.

[nonshinyfinish]

Aye, just realised that, sorry.

No worries. Obviously whatever 'rules' are put on it are arbitrary anyway.

[hibby rae]

Was third choice keeper in France 98 squad. Played at ER I think as sure I remember him in a game. Signed for Huns just after France won it.

There was a game at ER which the Huns won 1-0.
Hibs were all over them and Sauzee in particular was giving Charbonnier a torrid time but he pulled off some world class saves.

[worcesterhibby]

what about Gazza for Rangers against us...surely them English must have won the World Cup with Him in the side, Gary Walkers Crisps up front and Terry "conceding the first goal, removes the fear...." Butcher at the back ????

[PatHead]

I've only skimmed the thread but it strikes me that unless Stephanie Guivarche played at ER in his spell with the Huns, then the Villa keeper will be the first World Cup holder to play at ER? Is that right?

Jack Charlton played for Leeds against us in the Fairs Cup in 1968.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Uwe Seeler Hamburg?

[Baader]

That's the one I was thinking of. Definitely did play at ER I have since seen. So was a World Cup winner playing against us. Didn't actually play all that many games for Huns but more than he did for France in 98!

[Seekyit]

Uwe Seeler Hamburg?

Wondered that myself but he wasn’t in the West Germany squad 1974. Did score at ER though.

[CropleyWasGod]

Uwe Seeler Hamburg?

Looked him up myself. Retired from international football after the 70 WC.

[tamig]

Will Martinez be the first World Cup holder who actually played in the final to play at ER?

Edit - not quite. Jack Charlton in 1968.

[GRA]

Lionel Charbonnier won the WC with France in 1998 (though never played a game) and played at ER in 1999 with Rangers. Guivarc'h had already left Rangers by that point.

Actually there is another World Cup winner who has played at Easter Road this century.

Juninho won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 and played against us with Celtic in a 2-2 draw in 2004:

https://www.thecelticwiki.com/2004-09-19-hibernian-2-2-celtic-spl/

Unlike Charbonnier, he played a few minutes I'm the final.

Joelinton played for Newcastle v Hibs in 2019 - he was bought for 40 million.

Arsenal paid a reported £72m for Nicolas Pepe who came off the bench against us. They also paid a reported £55m for Aubameyang plus a £45m for Partey.

[gbhibby]

There is a lot of people not looking at the whole thread and repeating things.So players who have played against Hibs and played in the world cup final and won it.


So we have
Juninho
Gordon Banks
Nobby Stiles
Jack Charlton

Please feel free to add others

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Lol, that's not what the OP asked.

[007]

They have the Sweden national keeper Olsen as the back up to Martinez. Not totally out of the question they'd start Olsen though I imagine it's unlikely. He's played more international games in the last 3 years than club games.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

So I think this is the definitive list of World Cup Winners to play a competitive match at Easter Road -

Juninho, Jack Charlton (played in WC Final & a current WC holders at the time).

Lionel Charbonnier, Norman Hunter (unused WC squad players & current WC holders at the time).

Jose Altafini (Mazzola), Ian Callaghan (didnt play in WC Final & not current WC holders at the time).

Dino Zoff, Gennaro Gattuso, Claudio Gentile , Geatano Scirea (all won WC later in career after playing at Easter Road).

(Also, Klinsmann, winner of a previous WC, and ER fixture not against Hibs).

What about that guy Arsenal had at ER the others season did they not pay £78M for one of there players

[badabing67]

Dietmar Hamann also played for Bayern against Raith Rovers at ER if not already mentioned.
The thing about that we should take heart from is Bayern only beat Raith 2-0. Gives me hope for tomorrow anyway

[Baader]

Played in a WC final but lost.

I'll be amazed if he plays though

[worcesterhibby]

Just dredging up this thread again as I was looking through some old programmes and I think I've found another World Cup winner who has played at ER. Admittedly it was in a Friendly.. but still an interesting one .

Karl Mai - Left Midfielder who I think played in the 1960 Friendly at ER for Bayern Munich. He played for West Germany in their 1954 Winning World Cup Team. In the programme from the match he is listed as one of their key players, but I can't find confirmation of the line-ups. (yes I'm bored)

I beleive Hibs won the Friendly 3-0 and I think the scorers were Baker, Preston and McLeod

[Gettin' Auld]

I'm sure Nobby Styles played for Middlesbrough in a friendly against us at ER.
He did, then got carried off after being introduced to a Bertie Auld tackle.

[BILLYHIBS]

He did, then got carried off after being introduced to a Bertie Auld tackle.

Hee! Hee!

Was at that game

Bertie and Nobby were at it all game

Bertie saw his over the ball challenge coming rode the tackle but landed awkwardly on the hard surface breaking his collar bone

Tam McNiven was quickly on the scene to make the diagnosis

‘ Give me five minutes’ says the Bold Bertie

5 minutes later Nobby is getting carried off on a stretcher

‘Ref sub! ‘

Middlesbrough scored two late goals to win the game

Class act was Bertie silky smooth but hard as nails must have been some player in his prime

RIP

I didn't realise Altafini's nickname was Mazzola. He, Altafini, was the fastest player I have ever seen in the flesh, at Easter Road.

Quicker than Arthur Duncan believe it or not !

[ancient hibee]

I wonder if any played in the Vasco da Gama team.

[MWHIBBIES]

Pepe absolutely pony

Decent player, but never worth that money. Although that deal was very dodgy. Lille never saw anything like 72 million.

He was also far better for Arsenal than guys like Anthony and Sancho were for United.

Napoli left him at home after the first leg with a minor knock

Big mistake

I was there too, with my old man.

Not a great game from memory, apart from that one incident that was burned into my memory for ever more. As you say, Bertie was as hard as they come on the pitch and Styles had chosen the wrong guy to tangle with.

Saw the Lisbon Lions at Tiny and you could see why they were Champions of Europe they were quick slick every man a cracking player all born within 20 miles of Glasgow and played as a unit It was like watching a one touch training session
Guys like Bertie and Bobby Murdoch in midfield with their precision passing the sheer pace of Bobby Lennox the trickery of Jimmy Johnstone feeding deadly strikers who didn’t need to be asked twice My hero Joe McBride couldn’t even get a game due to injury Should have been Hibs Rant over :greengrin

[Ray_]

Plus Nobby Styles

Does it count if you get carried off?

Pre-match was all about the Nobby & Bertie Auld match up, not Eddie Turnbull's first match as Hibs manager. Sure enough, Nobby went in over the top, Bertie read it & Nobby came of much worse.

Sorry Billy & Auld Hibs, this is what you get when you post before reaching the end of the thread.
