Tallest ranked Hibs keepers

[Viva_Palmeiras]

So at 6’5” where does “The Iceman” Salinger rank?

Whos the tallest - Macey, Big Ben or Makalamby?

How do they rank from tallest to Andy McNeil :) - or was “Lofty” deceptively small?

ok my self-imposed nae googling rule I’m guessing

Macey Makalamby, Ben. I don’t really know!

Makalamby was about 4ft when he jumped!

Oli golksaksken?? Must be up there

ChatGtp is pish but gives a flavour.
Laidlaw is literally “up there” according to Wiki (6’7”?)

Rocky didn’t seem to be that tall at all in my opinion.

I’m 6’4” and I thought I was a fair bit bigger than him.

[BILLYHIBS]

Macey without googling

Used to kick the ball 100 yards but all vertical up in the air used to travel about 40 yards

Best goalie imo Goram wasn’t that tall

[EHZERO7]

Morten Hydlgaard was 6’6”

[at last 61]

Definitely matey, but will never forgive him for not going up, when we had a last minute corner, even if the manager didn't want him to go up for it, he should have went up, yes,I'm still raging about it 🤣

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Morten Hydlgaard was 6’6”
And about 2 feet wide - Schmeichel Snr - esque. And yet confusingly would let the ball go through him!

Did he even play a game for us? I don't remember ever seeing him play for Hibs.

[Thatdayinmay16]

Andy McNeil must have been taller than all of them.

[DaveF]

Presume Goram must have been out smallest modern day keeper? Or maybe Burridge?

Andy McNeil.

Twas Goram.

[Hibees1973]

Twas Goram.
And yet the best goalie in a Hibs jersey I've seen in over 50 years.

[Billy Whizz]

Morten Hydlgaard was 6’6”

Is that the lad from A-ha

[Thatdayinmay16]

Twas Goram.

Goram was 5ft11.
McNeil was 5ft9.

[eastmainsmsh]

Loved Goram but Leighton the way he resurrected his career was brilliant

[BILLYHIBS]

Loved Goram but Leighton the way he resurrected his career was brilliant

Both were brilliant thought Goram had the edge with the ball at his feet the pass back rule didn’t help Leighton but you are correct don’t think Leighton got enough credit after Dundee and Man United going on to win his Scotland place back with Hibs and being capped 23 times as a Hibernian player

Welcome back any time

[Speedy]

He played in the festival cup or whatever it was called at the time.

Glorified pre-season friendlies. I thought he was good but I was pretty young at the time so what do I know.

[HoboHarry]

How tall was Jim McArthur? Not quite modern day I suppose but I recall him being small for a goalie?

[Donegal Hibby]

Tommy younger was the same height as Smudge .. 6’1 .

[gbhibby]

Mike McDonald was a tall lad as well something like 6 2. Made sure he got the balls when he came off his line.

[sadtom]

Conrad Logan was 6’10” tall…lying on his back. :greengrin

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Goram was 5ft11.
McNeil was 5ft9.

further (Wikipedia - never wrong for long) checks do point to that. Further adding to the pish that AI promotes.

Memories scored my first senior goal against him lob from the edge of the box he was tall.

Was that against Hibs or Clydebank.

He’s never 6:4. Nowhere near. Some of these height stats are fantasy.

Ross Laidlaw? You’re having a laugh bud.

[Ribs1875]

Makalambay was 6ft 6 and useless.

[BILLYHIBS]

Refusing to believe Rocky was 6’4”

Anyone can put anything in Wiki

Sofascore have him as 6’1”

Think I will go with that

35 now btw

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Just goes to show the pish that’s out there on the interweb - Abe Lincoln was tweeting of the dangers of not believing everything you read in the internet the other day…

6 4 when he had shellys 👠 on

[zitelli62]

Neither it was an east senior game he was manager of pebbles rovers at the time for a raw 17 year old to score against a guy you paid money to watch was a great feeling.
