Jimmy O’Rourke

[Forza Fred]

Exactly a year since Jimmy passed away.

It will be a hard day for Michael, and especially for Anne, Jimmy’s wife, and my thoughts are with them and the rest of the family.

Jimmy was my favourite Hibs player of all time, and a good friend.

I was fortunate to be one of many here in Oz who helped arrange for Jimmy and Anne to travel down under for functions in his honour in Perth, Melbourne and Sydney, back in 2007.

Jimmy was a wonderful player for Hibs, but he was also a wonderful ambassador for the club during his visit.

Too many memories of Jimmy to relate here, but his memory marches on.

What a headed goal in the league cup final!
Cross was inch perfect and a bulleted header from Jimmy.
One of my best ever memories.

One of my heroes growing up. Great player and, although i never had the pleasure of meeting him, it is obvious from comments he was a great man as well...

RIP Jimmy

It's hard as they quietly slip away and leave you behind. 😥
