Stokes

[Gaffer1875]

Not looking good for him, will always be a hero but Christ he needs a shake.

He's been an absolute tool his whole life.
He just happened to have a talent for football.
He'll always be remembered for his contribution to the Cup win - but he's still a knob.

Yet another maverick with huge talent in a hibs Jersey...finest game he ever played was in 2016.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

What a waste of his life/talent after 21.05.16. Always grateful for what he gave us that day, but my god, how his life has gone since then, its sad.

[Haymaker]

Was hoping we'd signed him again.

No Anthony Stokes no Scottish cup. Legend.

[Pretty Boy]

35 year old, out the game at any serious level for years and looking at jail time in both Scotland and Ireland.

Will forever be a Hibs legend but further proof that the days of still being able to be 'one of the boys' and a professional athlete with any kind of career longevity are long gone.

[Trinity Hibee]

What is it with news websites nowadays? Can barely read an article due to the page constantly jumping around because of adverts. Gave up reading this

[Crunchie]

We'd still be waiting on a Scottish Cup win had it not been for Stokesy , he could commit a murder and it wouldn't change my opinion of the man. Good luck in changing your life around my man :aok:

They’re running out of money

[Jones28]

Part time legend, full time tit.

[joe breezy]

He still has charges in Ireland to answer too I think
- I'm not sure if this is 100% but I think I read he was caught in posession of a chunky bag of cocaine after trying to escape the police who were stopping him for speeding

If he has addiction problems he should go to rehab - might help with more lenient sentencing too maybe

[hibee-boys]

The guy clearly has mental health issues, makes you wonder who around him is any positive influence. I suppose if he won’t be helped he can’t🤷🏼

[heretoday]

What a shame. He always seemed like such a nice guy.

Like every Hibs fan, I'll always be grateful for his contribution to us winning the cup but he doesn't come across as a very nice guy or role model for youngsters.

[eastmainsmsh]

Undoubted Ability was up for it in final shame he didn’t do that more often

Hibernian legend , nothing more needs said. 🏆

It wouldn't change mine either.

I'll always be grateful for that performance, possibly the best individual performance I've seen, but I can very easily separate Stokes the cup winner from Stokes the unpleasant person.

[Carheenlea]

Very sad to hear of this.

While blessed with a footballing talent, it doesn’t sound like has been blessed with family or mentors to help steer him on a path out of trouble and to a life where football could have made that a prosperous and comfortable one.

If there’s anything Hibs can do to help Anthony Stokes I’d like to think we would.

[overdrive]

I guess this is confirmation that the reports on social media a few weeks ago about his untimely demise were indeed false. Unless it was a zombie version of him that rocked up to the police station.

[Jpdhfc]

Undoubted Ability was up for it in final shame he didn’t do that more often
the story goes after the cup final phoned his dad who said very good son why don't you play like that every week

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Yet another maverick with huge talent in a hibs Jersey...finest game he ever played was in 2016.

I wonder through non-Hibs tinted specs if this still proved to be his finest hour? Cant recall if he was actually benched for many of the key Celtic games?

[scoopyboy]

I will always be grateful to him for the Scottish Cup Final. He was unlucky not to score five or six that day and I will never witness a better performance in a cup final than that.

It has to be said however I fear for the guy.

He has done a lot wrong and in some cases indefensible but the guy really needs help, thing is I don't think he would pay any heed.

[Tyler Durden]

I wonder through non-Hibs tinted specs if this still proved to be his finest hour? Cant recall if he was actually benched for many of the key Celtic games?

He was MOTM in the 2013 final against us aswell

[Col2]

After 21.05.16 he was interviewed about getting back in favour with Celtic with Brendon Rodgers just appointed (first time), and he seemed optimistic about that.

Gave us some of our greatest memories and will always be a legend for that.

[Torto7]

Stokes off the pitch is and always has been an utter fanny. Most of his mates are a who's who of ****** "gangsters" here and over the Irish Sea. Jails the best place for him.

[A Hi-Bee]

Legend , its a football forum no a gossip column.
:thumbsup:

[Sloop67]

Football , sport and life in general is littered with people like this. It always seems to me that some of the people blessed with great talent are the ones who are least well equipped to deal with it , I'm not entirely sure that a spell inside will help him or not , I guess that would depend on what happens when he's released, if he is jailed that is

[lyonhibs]

Part time legend, full time tit.

In a nutshell. It's not like he's on charges of pissing up a close when drunk or something.

Sounds like an absolute walloper but one can't forget 21.05.2016 entirely

I think its commendable to want to rehabilitate people. But the whole domestic violence, coercive control thing just makes me think he's a ****.

[Carheenlea]

I must admit to not being fully aware of the ins and outs or magnitude of the charges he’s facing in UK.

The Irish offences must be sailing close to a custodial sentence over there as well.

[ScottB]

Yes, he was an important part of winning the cup, but a legend? For me that has to fully encompass the man, not just his feet.

He’s not worthy of consideration alongside our actual legends. He’s an idiot on his 8th chance, born with talents many would kill for and he wasted them.

[VoltaireHibs]

Is, always has been, and always will be an absolute ****bag. Always felt his performance in the final had nothing to do with wanting Hibs to win and everything to do with stopping Rangers. If we'd been playing Aberdeen I'd lay money he'd have been a shiftless showpony and barely tried a leg as per usual. Cannot stand the guy.

Folk on here calling him a legend and would forgive him anything for that day, have a word with yourselves and grow the ****** up, the guys a domestic abuser, amongst other things. Pat Stanton is a legend, Franck Sauzee is a legend, Jimmy o Rourke is a legend. And every one of them absolute gentlemen. Stokes couldn't lace their boots and doesn't deserve to be named in their company.

And for those saying he has mental health problems, no he doesn't, he's a d**khead wanna be gangster.

Agree. He appears to be a complete ****bag. To mention him alongside Stanton, the famous 5, David Gray and other legends of our club doesn’t sit well with me. He is a Celtic man, always was, always will be - no surprise he is a complete ned.

Some of the revisionism on here is mental.

He’s handed himself in, he’ll face the law and rehabilitate at a later date. Good luck to him. I hope he finds peace.

Quite hard to argue with any this. Would he be a legend if he was terrorising your sister or daughter?

[VoltaireHibs]

Each to our own opinion. We all have our thoughts on players motivations. 👍

[VoltaireHibs]

Exactly, some folk need to give themselves a shake. The cup final was incredible, and yes he played out of his skin, but I'd happily not have won the cup if it meant he'd never played for us. This is just a game, his ex girlfriend went through hell. People saying they can separate the player from the performance? Yeah, I get that for minor misdemeanours, but domestic violence over a prolonged period? Absolutely terrorising a young woman? Nah.

[BoomtownHibees]

[neil7908]

This. Football is just a game. Lots of hero's when we won the cup and I'll reserve the word legend for a guy like David Gray.

Can't believe the number of people happy to look the other way on what he's done. He's not a daft laddie that had one too many beers and made a mistake - there is a pattern of behaviour here and he seems like a nasty piece of work.

But he gets a pass and beers bought for him cause he played a good game of football for us. He also doesn't give a **** about Hibs.

If wonder if folk would be so generous if he'd treated their sister or daughter like this?

for him to be remanded, a threshold has been met - especially for domestic. Wolloper.

[LewysGot2]

for him to be remanded, a threshold has been met - especially for domestic. Wolloper.

Been remanded as he's gone on the run several times in the last year, not keeping to bail conditions and going on social media to taunt the police and others about him having gone on the run. Came back last October to hand himself in, attended SDGs dinner (though left early after another wee drama) and left Scotland again against his release conditions...meaning he didn't show for the SDG testimonial he'd signed up to a few weeks later.

He's not complied with conditions on several occasions and left the country each time. They arrested him last summer in NI when there was intelligence reported he was in Belfast. UK police were able to intervene and he was arrested and brought back to Scotland

This isn't a one off.

[MelbourneHibees]

Legend? Would he get a spot in the Hall of Fame? I certainly hope not.

Why don’t you just forget he was in the team that wonderful day?

I realise that his ‘crimes’ are well out of order, and that he is obviously troubled and/or a ****bag, but he helped us lift the SC, and for that alone, we should be eternally grateful.

Bail being granted / refused isn’t just about the seriousness of the offence but rather about the risk of re offending or failing to appear at court. It’s an alternative to being held in remand, not a free for all to stick two fingers up to the court / victim. Breach bail conditions enough times or fail to appear at court a few times, especially from a foreign county where he can’t be arrested on a UK warrant, and you really want a sheriff to release him again?

You say justice system is broken and then suggest the sheriff take a course of action which could in theory see him never sit trial and the victim(s) never get their shot at justice.

I'll never forget watching Stokes score his goals against the currants at Hampden. That's all that matters to me. I don't want to know about what he's done in his life since then, or care. He won the holy grail for Hibernian, and that's all that matters to me. If he's done wrong, the law will deal with it, and he'll have to face up to it. Why do you care so much of what he's done in his private life, except to tell us Hibernian supporters that its now 'vomit inducing' that he's considered a cup winning legend, which he is and always will be.

Of course I celebrated, but I think he's far from a legend and find his subsequent behaviour to be something I really wouldn't want associated with Hibs. Anyway, enough said.

You seem to have already found him guilty and vomit inducing. That's your opinion. I watched him as a Hibernian player scoring two goals against the currants that went a huge way to breaking the 'hoodoo', and for that he will be a Hibernian footballing legend. I'll leave it at that too.

Have they? My mistake mate. But still don't want to know what he's done in his private life post his time at Hibernian. I'll remember his time on the park at Hampden on 21st May 2016 with great fondness. His first goal was a thing of beauty with the smoke bombs in the currant's end highlighting how good a goal it was. Let the law take its course, and hope lessons are learned, and he does what he has to do to change behaviour.

You seem to have already found him guilty and vomit inducing. That's your opinion. I watched him as a Hibernian player scoring two goals against the currants that went a huge way to breaking the 'hoodoo', and for that he will be a Hibernian footballing legend. I'll leave it at that too.

You sir, are beyond belief.

Yes, we were all delighted with that Cup Final performance. Why wouldn’t we have been?

The things ‘Tony’ has done though, are out-with human decency.

I’m chuffed for you that this sort of human being is a legend in your eyes.

You hope he turns his behaviour around ?

Will it then help the wee girl that the legend is better?

I bet it doesn’t.

I've no idea what you're talking about, and don't want to know frankly. We won the Scottish Cup with Stokes scoring two goals. That's as much as I want to know okay. The law will decide Stokes future, and he'll have to face up to it. None of which happened in 2016? I'm not a judge or jury, but you seem to be, crack on.

I hope that your ‘hero’ gets away with all his ‘mistakes’ because of a football match.

And, by the way, you crack on too. :thumbsup:

I'll take that Sparrow. Been called a lot worse :greengrin. Normally by those on the dark side jambos mainly. They were all heroes that day. I was very lucky to be there with my now late brother. One of the best days of my life, and I'm certain it was for many others on here. Historic great day in the sunshine at Hampden.

Sorry to hear about your brother. I sincerely mean that.

I was there too, brilliant day, brilliant result, brilliant weather.

Stokes is still a ****bag.

We only got tickets that day due to Hibs net. He was a member on here, and managed to get two on a waiting list on here. It was actually thanks to Hibs.net that we attended that glorious day. Glad to hear that you were there too bud. :aok:

[Carheenlea]

Stokes features on a latest episode of an Irish crime podcast. Sunday World is an old school gutter tabloid from what I can gather, but some more Stokes content and family connections nonetheless.

(Hibs are not mentioned once which is a good example of the complete disinterest of Scottish Football outwith the Old Firm over there!)

As you say, good for us we aren’t mentioned but how can you exclude what was probably the best performance of his career?

[MWHIBBIES]

Guy is a total prick. No doubt about that.

Much bigger legends than him from 2016 team.

No Lewis no cup

They all contributed.

Maybe another striker scores 3 goals in the final? We've no idea. It's not like we weren't beating that Rangers side before stokes.

He is undoubtedly a prick and imo, not anywhere near the biggest Hibs legend from that side.

[Greensunshine]

Such a shame. I would imagine that 2016 Cup winning squad will be invited to attend a game sometime in the future.
Unfortunately for him, he’ll probably be in the tin pale.

However there’s nothing he can do that can taint that cup victory. Although he was a major part of us winning the cup that day and he really was outstanding, the lad has always come with a warning.

Agreed. The idea that he single handedly won us the cup is disrespectful the remainder of that team.

Lewis is 10x the Hibs legend Stokes is imo.

And he is a nice human being, which is far more important.

I don't think anyone is saying that but he doesn't play that day then we don't win the cup imo. He's a massive reason we won that day as is, of course the performances of others.

That is unbelievable to say that. Lewis has won two Cup medals, something that no othe Hibernian has ever done!! I'd suggest when you google cup winning legend Lewis Stevenson is the first thing to come up

In terms of his overall contribution to Hibernian including winning two trophies of course Lewis Stevenson is the biggest Hibernian legend of this generation.

Stokes performance that day was legendary was more of what I meant. Trying to downplay that is baffling just because he's a tosser.

[He's here!]

Agreed. The idea that he single handedly won us the cup is disrespectful the remainder of that team.

Don't think anyone's suggesting that. He was phenomenal that day tho, turning in one of the best individual performances I've seen from a Hibs player. I think it's fair to say that while the whole team were terrific it was Stokes who gave us the edge.

Not wanting to acknowledge that because he's an eejit doesn't stack up.

[Bobby's Cinema]

His performance that day was a performance for all time. When you watch the highlights back it was an incredible contribution in a cup final.

I prefer to just ignore anything related to him post that day.

It's easy for me to separate Stokes being a bell end and him having a bigger contribution than anyone else to winning that final. An absolute hibs legend and that doesn’t disrespect the rest of the legends in that squad.

I did correct what I meant on the post afterwards. Lewis Stevenson is the biggest Hibernian legend in modern day history, Stokesys performance that day in when we won the cup was legendary.
The whole post that I posted was a disaster and of course it's wrong to suggest Lewy isn't a Cup Winning legend. If that was my opinion then it would be 100% wrong.

[Carheenlea]

The podcast was less about actual football but more about some of the goings on in his fathers pub in Dublin’s North Inner City and the organised crime and gangland characters who intertwine with the general theme of the podcast series.

Football should have given Stokes the opportunity to escape from a life surrounded by such people for whom troubles just follow them around.

[shetlandhibee]

Undoubted Ability was up for it in final shame he didn’t do that more often

He did it when it really mattered,,, Legend most folk could be not dream of having a career like he’s had , ✔️👌👍

[The Baldmans Comb]

Stokes and Barclay are two rather despicable peas in a pod as far as women are concerned.

Neither are legends but both leave fine football memories with Stokes contribution historical.

Drugs charges in Ireland were also on the cards but some technical issue in the Irish courts system saw them "time out" due to drugs testing not being able to get done quickly enough. Suggestion is he was caught with amounts of cocaine that were for sale oŕ supply

[neil7908]

He's a prick and pretty disappointed to see Hibs fans continue to label him a legend after everything that's come out.

He isn't a laddie that's made a daft mistake - he's a adult man that's subjected his ex to a disgusting and prolonged campaign of abuse and stalking.

Not to mention all the drugs found in his car, the previous assaults etc.

His contribution to win us the cup is in the history books but there are loads of other hero's that day that we should be focusing on. But a chunk of our fans seem to want to buy 'Stokesy' a pint but sack David Gray.

[Carheenlea]

A cup winning hero no doubt, but when you contrast Stokes’ downward spiral leading to imprisonment with another cup winning hero Liam Fontaine and his dignified retirement announcement, you know which one you’d prefer to enjoy a pint with.

[Sloop67]

Maybe his time behind bars will give him the opportunity to reflect on his life choices in the future, but somehow I doubt it , I get the feeling that unless he distances him self from the individuals he's been associating with he's going to continue to be in trouble for years to come Sad to see but he's not the first player to walk this path and I'm sure he won't be the last

It’s not just the folk he associates with, even when he was at Hibs the first time he was borrowing money from players, including youth players, and not giving it back until another senior player basically forced him to (and not gently). He’s an ********, and has been behaving as such for a very long time
