Christian Doidge

[Since452]

Probably deserves it's own thread. Cheers big man. Always gave everything for our club. Wish him well.

[Blaster]

Agree, hope he does well down there

[USA_Hibee]

Great guy! Hope the rest of his career is great. Thank you Christian 😁

[H18 SFR]

Always wondered what would have happened if he didn’t do his Achilles like he did. Was in such good form. Good memories.

[Vault Boy]

Aye, goes with everyone’s best wishes. Really good guy. Thanks for all your efforts, Christian.

[Bostonhibby]

Yep, we've done much, much worse than Christian Doidge, wasn't a fan when he arrived, am one now. All down to how he applied himself.

All the best.

Good luck for the future, Christian.

Always gave it his all and weighed in with a good few goals too.

What a pity he didn't bury that header near the end at Killie, would have been a great parting gift.

[JohnM1875]

Lovely guy, honest pro and scored some important goals for us. Glad to see him looking back to his old self after the injury and hope he smashes it back at FGR.

[Ray Donovan]

Really liked Doidge. Worked hard and had a few runs where they would just bounce in off him! Not the same after his injury but good luck to him.

[hibbydog]

Best wishes to a big honest trier

[SHODAN]

The closest I've seen at the club to a guy that played as if he had the technical ability of someone plucked from the stand but through sheer will and determination made it work. His sclaffed goals were a thing of beauty.

If he hadn't had that awful injury I'm confident he'd still be our #9.

[Stuarty1875]

Wish him all the best.

Nice guy who gave his best for the club.

[GloryGlory]

Probably deserves it's own thread. Cheers big man. Always gave everything for our club. Wish him well.

Wish him nothing but the best. Definitely a 100%er!

[Jones28]

Agree 100%, good luck to the big man.

[Trinity Hibee]

All the best to him. Always gave 100% and his first 2 seasons he was fantastic.

[MKHIBEE]

I wish nothing but the best for the big fella, gave his all for the team. Good luck Christian.

[yerauldda]

Loved him. Time for all parties to move on but sad to see him go.

[HibsGW]

Give the ball to Christian Doidginhoooooo

[Northernhibee]

Love the lad to bits, been a very good player for us and an absolutely superb human being.

All the best Doidgey.

[Stevie Reid]

Absolutely love him, and he obviously loved being here - wish him nothing but the best 💚

[hibee_girl]

He got what it meant playing for us.

Gutted he's gone, you couldn't help but like him.

[Jakhog1]

Great to see that he leaves with the warmest of wishes from us Hibees, great guy and attitude.

[marinello59]

Best of luck to him , one of the good guys.

[PatHead]

Never hid. Will always remember his hat-trick at St Johnstone to end his goal drought. Really missed him defensively when he got injured.
All the best to him.

There's one thing that the Hibs want you to know

[BILLYHIBS]

Goodbye Big Man

Welcome back anytime

Absolute Legend

Always tried your best for the cause

Good luck for the future

All the best Doidgy. You did a good job with us and I hope it works out well at Forrest Green

If he hadn't had that awful injury I'm confident he'd still be our #9.

Looking back at a news article when we signed him, it revealed that the previous season he had scored 14 goals, earned a lon move to Bolton who then agreed a £1M fee for a permanent deal with Forest Green Rovers. When Bolton hit financial strife the deal was off and Heckingbottom secured him for £350,000.

He had a lot more technical ability than I think we gave him credit for!

[delaCalz]

Good luck Doidgy. Gave your all for the club

[Lago]

Probably deserves it's own thread. Cheers big man. Always gave everything for our club. Wish him well.
A good honest pro, best wishes to him at his new club.

[The Spaceman]

Always gave his all for Hibs and really appreciate his efforts. The right move for both parties and goes with my very best wishes.

[ElginHibbie]

Love the guy, didn't always work out for him but always gave it his all and could tell how much passion he had for club

All the best to him

[Hibee Mac]

Great guy and servant of the club. Had a few close call moments with us in the cup but it wasn't meant to be.

All the best for the rest of your career!

Circus through to next round of Scottish Cuo He had a knack of getting important goals and was a good option to have Yes a missed his fair share of chances but he gave his all for the side
He clearly wants to play more regular football and that wasn’t guaranteed with us Wish him all the best

[Tambo]

All the best Doidge and will keep my eye out to see how you get on for the rest of the season.

Did have a remarkable spell of form at Hibs with talks of should he be called up for Wales.

A few injuries at the end didn't help him but you can't say he gave it his all and another who will love the club forever.

[hibsbollah]

Van Doidgedonk scored some important goals for us, but my favourite moment was his unexpected hattrick (killie was it?) after months of not scoring and getting roundly slagged really unprofessionally on sportsound for weeks by that dullard Richard Gordon.

In fact he had a great intelligence and his positional play was faultless, probably due yo his basketball background. And a class guy off the pitch by all accounts.

Good luck in the future Jean Pierre Papoidge.

Probably one of my favourite players in the current squad so I will miss him.

When he started or came on, you were never quite sure what would happen.

Good luck, Christian

[7Hero]

Previous posters stating he is a legend and a "a very good player for us".

Behave .. He tried his best and if everyone in the team tried as hard as him we'd be doing far better for sure.

His miss at the weekend unfortunately sums him up as a striker.

All the best Christian and thanks for the EFFORT..

[J-C]

Wasn't his biggest fan but I give him credit for his commitment to Hibs while he was here, seemed like a really nice guy, all the best.

[HendoDelivered]

Aw the best big felly. Welcome back at ER anytime. Underrated a little, but that covid/injury robbed us and him a little I feel.

Good luck Doidgey, smash it.

[hibsbollah]

It was:agree:

[Greenbeard]

Wish everyone tried as hard as he did. A good honest player with integrity. Getting rarer by the year. If he sees out his career with FGR successfully, he and his family can look back on his career with great pride.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Good guy that put an honest shift in and could play a bit. I hope he does well there. I’ll be watching out for their results.

Mixed feelings on this because he was a good option at times but hopefully signals we’re after players that are a step above.

[e2los]

Best wishes to Doidge, hope he does well for Forrest Green again.

He will be missed.

Wore the jersey with pride, great attitude and should be welcomed back anytime, best wishes Christian!

Absolutely agree, well said.

[Crutch]

Nothing that hasn’t been said before, but if we had 11 players out there every Saturday with Doidge’s effort, work rate and commitment to being a Hibs player, we’d be more than alright…

Never threw his toys out the pram when he was out of favour. He wanted to be here and he gave it everything while he was.

Top man and deserves nothing but the best. Good luck & thank you, Doidgey.

If Le Fondre stays fit i think he’ll be our option off the bench or to cover for injury. I think one of Doidge or McKirdy had to make way at this point.

[eastterrace]

All the best doidgey hope goes well and keep up drinking the champers

[Bobby's Cinema]

Great refreshing thread. Always gave his all - and a good player for us within a good third placed Hibs side.

A bit sad to see him go even if it was probably time - loaning him out was certainly a strange one.

Hope he does well in his future career :aok:

[Heisenberg]

I never thought he’d score a goal for us after he missed about four 1v1s up at Pittodrie in the one game. Thankfully he came good, was pivotal in the season we finished 3rd. Shame the injury he had and Covid took it out of him so much.

[MrRobot]

Going to miss the big guy. Absolutely got Hibs and loved being here. A horrific injury robbed him of his Hibs career.

[Juice-Terry]

All the best big man. You were a credit to Hibernian FC, and to yourself.

[weecounty hibby]

All the best to Christian. As pretty much everyone has said 100% effort every time he pulled on a Hibs Jersey. Sadly something that can't always be said. Hope he does well down there and will always get a decent welcome at ER when he cones back

[Sheffhibee]

Good servant for the club, always 100% committed on the pitch and a really nice guy. Good luck back at Forest Green big guy 🇳🇬💚🇳🇬

[GreenCastle]

Thanks for all the memories ! Some important goals and we will need someone to replace him as otherwise we will become too predictable.

Always gave for the club and wish him well in his new move.

Joe Newell will miss his good / best mate too!

[The Harp]

Sorry to see the big man is on his way. Great servant of the club and responsible for us remaining in the Cup.

I saw Joe put a nice post on Twitter about him leaving, seemed like a nice guy which is rare. Like most said was a shame about his injury and COVID. Can already see a day in the distant future were he’s back for a Half Time wave or a cheeky commentary shift !

I’ve not got anything to add really, except that me and a few pals know Doidge as Diego, probably in some sort of loose reference to Maradona (I know).

The game never went the way we wanted but when he scored in the semi vs Hearts we were all on our feet chanting ‘Dieeggoo, Dieeggoo’.

Just a wee story there.

I don’t know what it was about him but I really liked him. I like people who score goals I suppose (who doesn’t?) and Doidge had a weird way of scoring them, outside a few screamers mind you.

I’m not sure that we have anyone with his ability to mix it up now mind you.

I wish the big guy nothing but the best.

[cabbageandribs1875]

best of luck Christian Doidgealdo

[McGruber]

Gutted Doidge is away, loved the big man. Probably the right decision for all but will need replaced. We have about 7 or 8 technical/pacey forwards but feel you need the option in this league of a Doidge type. Such a pity with the injury coming when it did and never seemed to get completely over it but absolutely not for the want of trying. Gave us his all and all you can ask. Thanks Christian and good luck

[Bushwoof]

Will miss you, Doidgekov, never quite hit the heights but never stopped trying. An example for all to follow. Hope you tear it up at FGR.

[HibbyAndy]

Good luck CD :aok:

[scm70nyd1973]

Some lovely posts here - just brilliant and I hope he is reading them - superb servant and ambassador for our great Club - I’m sad tonight but hope he does well at FGR - haste ye back Christian - you will always be welcomed back to ER 👍

[tonyrougier123]

It’s that doidge guy that’s away! aw ffss man!😂🤦*♂️
Unconventional at times but effective,his desire deserved more bang for his graft. I still feel he had something to offer,but I understand big decisions need made to help Montgomery mould the team. I’d like to see a cb and now another striker in the fold because we don’t seem to have a striker at the moment. I feel doidge offered us something of the bench recently was missing in the starting 11. All the best doidgey. Discodoidge will need another name change??

Actually sad to see him go! Wish him all the best in the future career and beyond.

Made me wonder what his best goal for Hibs was. I really enjoyed his winner at Aberdeen in a 1-0 win.

I would also love to see a compilation of all the goals he scored off his ar*e, shins, shoulder and such [emoji23] there was a point in his first scoring spree where it almost felt like everything he touched in the box went in but half of them were unintentional [emoji23]

The city also Helps with falling in love with the club I think for players, obviously it's the fans etc.

I wonder what a new player does in his first week in the City, obviously you got the castle and a walk up Arthur Seat.

Plenty more things to do like spit on the heart of Midlothian.

[GRA]

After a tricky first few months once he broke his duck he was one of our main men. Him, Boyle & Nisbet formed a great partnership during the 20/21 season. His defensive game was underrated too.

Never quite the same after his achilles injury though. But clearly loved the club and I've got a lot of time for him. All the best Doidgey!

[Pagan Hibernia]

43 goals in 148 apps is actually pretty decent when you consider how many of them were as substitute and also the dire hibs teams he has played in. Often looked our most dangerous player when brought on to try to rescue a game

Good point about his defensive game. Probably our best defender of corners in fact, always seemed to get his head on it.

Very, very close to leaving a legend with two runners up medals. Sure he'll be happy leaving as a bit of a cult hero with everyone's best wishes. One of the good guys.

He needs to! Forest Green are in a bit of bother at the bottom of League 2. Due to them being only 3 miles from me I watch their midweek home games (local football at the weekend). FGR had Dylan last season, and really miss him this season, it will be great to see Christian back at the New Lawn - next midweek is 27th Feb v Wrexham, can't wait to see him bang a couple in

Two really good guys and a great example of players that come in and appreciate where they are. Despite Doidge's limitations I never worried when I saw his name on the team sheet, you knew you'd get 110% and nothing less, and possibly a goal that came off a defender, skelped big Christian on the back of the head, and rolled into the net. Top guy, and same goes for Joe. You need guys like these at a club.

Too good to sit on our bench imo. Best for his career if he's on the pitch. The guy will always hit the back of the net given a run of games. Wish him nothing but the best. Conducted himself with class while he was here. Good egg.

He’s playing for a team at the bottom of League 2, the same level where Harry McKirdy was one of the best players in the league.

I loved Doidge the guy, the player however was not cut out to be leading the line for us in all but the worst case scenarios, and even then I think we can and will end up with better for the wages he was on.

I hope he does well at FGR but low end League 2 is probably where his standard is now.

He wouldn’t be close to getting any significant minutes in our team now. It’s a good thing for both us and him that he’s moved on, and hope he continues to do well and enjoy his football.
