Hibs cult 11

[PatHead]

At the game the other day we tried to lighten things up by coming up with a "cult" first team. These were players that the fans took to but were not necessarily what you would call an all time great.(SJM being an exception)

Can't remember who we finished with but it included Conrad Logan in goals, Budgie being his main competitor.
Other team members included Benny Brazil,
Mattie Jack, Dirk Lehman, SJM, Joe Tortalano, Erick Schaedler and Mixu.

Anyone missing and is someone able to make up a team?

[He's here!]

Chic Charnley and Jimmy Boco.

[PatHead]

Chic Charnley and Jimmy Boco.

Sproule and Jimmy Boco were definitely mentioned. Big Bad John Macnamee who was before my time was suggested. Any thoughts?

[Hibs90]

Zambernardi?

[KeithTheHibby]

Conrad Logan, Joe T, Benny Brazil and Dirk Lehman would make my 11. Need to think about the remainder.

[PatHead]

Team shaping up as 442

Goalie Conrad

Midfield SJM, Matty Jack, Chic Charnley, ?
Forwards Ivan Sproule, Dirk Lehman

Why is Shades in there? He is widely acknowledged as one of our best ever left backs. The only one that comes close in my 55 years of going to watch Hibs is David Murphy.

Funnily enough I met him a year ago or so at a do. Very unassuming, he was shocked I recognised him. Clearly doesn't realise the esteem he's held in with fans of my era.

[HibbyAndy]

Danny Lennon ?

Dave Fellinger ?

He was never a favourite of Alex Miller, that and injury held him back at Hibs. Then came the emergence of Willie Miller. Both were hard as **** on the field.

I'd agree Schaedler was a good few levels above merely 'cult' but I guess you can be both cult and class?

[BILLYHIBS]

Absolute legend Hibs through and through and a real gentleman

Never made mistakes just cleared his lines no messing the perfect foil for Jackie Mac

Both legends

[Jones28]

Jay Shields gets in for me. Hardest tackler we've had in 25 years.

[CapitalGreen]

Some people clearly don’t know the meaning of cult hero going by a number of the suggestions on this thread.

[He's here!]

Yes, both cracking 100% players. Geebsie was another who came through the ranks during those years.

[AgentDaleCooper]

whilst accepting that he's not really a 'cult' hero as such, i'd still pay to watch jay shields own dado prso for 90 mins again...

[GlesgaeHibby]

Efe Ambrose

[Nicho87]

Jarko Wiss

I always remember Williamson going on a rant that jarko was two footed just Lubo Moravick but wiss didn’t get the same limelight as a Celtic player

The streets know!

Or smash Hartley in the build up to a derby goal

[Souter96Mac]

Harvie McCreadie.

I put him in because of his tackles, long throw which as a wee primary school boy made him a hero to me and my pals at our long throw competitions.

I also had SJM in the team as a cult hero. He would also be in my best ever Hibs players team but that can be a thread for a later international break.

[marleyhib]

Barry Lavety
Tony Rougier
Micky Weir

[Keith_M]

Tony Higgins.

My hero at High School.

[ELHibernian]

Right in front of me in the west, 10/10.

A guy that used to sit behind me would regularly announce that he was "away for a Jarko" :greengrin

[Bushwoof]

Ally McLeod and Crunchie. Maybe Gary Smith. Keith Houchen just for the song Houchy Houchy Houchy Houchy tralalalalala

[Bushwoof]

I should maybe have put in a shout for 'Cyclops' Sneddon, for the nickname alone.

[chunk1875]

Paco luna

[Monts]

Darren Macgregor

Darren Macgregor

Was thinking what about his challenge on Peter Haring at Tiny and the time he sat on the Asteris Tripolis guy at the half way line ……quality :greengrin

[one day maybe...]

Barry Lavety 😁

[LancsHibs]

George Best has to in there, in the twilight of his career when played for us and arguably hungover for large periods of it but could still light up a game and what a thrill to see him wear our beautiful shirt.

[snedzuk]

Going by post no 1, Isak Refvik.

Neil Orr ...gotta have a tache' in the team 👀😂

Isn’t the current team one full of total cults?

Bobby Thompson. Those who know. Know.

[wookie70]

George Stewart. What I'd give to see him cementing a few opposition forwards.

I always thought Gordon Rae mastered that. He would always delay his tackle slightly so he got man and ball. He would be a red card every week these days

[Smartie]

Jay Shields had an utterly bizarre Hibs career.

A very small number of very good performances containing some true highlights, no black marks whatsoever then disappeared?

What was all that about?

Totally deserves a mention here btw.

[heretoday]

Dom Malonga would be a decent shout

I agree. One bright spark in a dark Hibs period.

Fantastic memories of ‘Stevie’ all sideburns and shirt tucked inside his shorts hugging the downhill Stand side touch line teasing his full back twisting turning dummying nutmegging before suddenly darting inside dribbling his way into the box inviting desperate tackles from behind or to the side from sleeping defenders too late to spot the danger and send him crashing to the deck usually when we most needed a goal

Jock Wallace once told him ‘ You should be playing tonight ‘ on their way through to Hampden to watch Scotland

Runs like Max Wall, he runs like Max Wall, Ally Scott, he runs like Max Wall. Back in the day my mate was in a crowd of one who used to sing that song.

My favourite player in that team, and that’s saying a lot considering some of the guys we had that year. Went about his work quietly, dependable and composed. Shame that injuries took their toll on his career because he was a very good servant to Hibs imo.

Might not matter as I think he got dropped for the FA cup final replay so might not have got a winners medal?

May have missed it but Sir David Gray needs to be in our first 11. And Alex Cropley.

No chance SDG is a cult hero. He's loved by the majority of Hibs fans surely?

Paco Luna for me, I had the purple top with Luna on the back and even though I wasn’t the tallest guy i had a decent spring on me so would go unnoticed at corners and scored a fair few with my head at school games.

To the point I was called Luna for a little while !

[Mike Berry]

Surely Stokesy gets inIt's "cult" not c#*t.
