Love that! Class from Hibernian.

That is absolutely superb, well done Hibs.

More good news. It’s quite a spell in the history of our great club. Keep it up Hibs

[Captain Emerald]

OutSTANDing! Love Pat. Love my club. :flag:

[Trinity Hibee]

No one more deserving of this. Glad they’ve done this whilst he’s still around. Too many of these honours take place after someone has passed away

Hibs will rename Easter Road's East Stand after Pat Stanton

Fantastic. So well deserved. My Dad will be up there with the angels smiling. He loved Pat 💚🇳🇬🥬

[USA_Hibee]

Excellent!

Genuine question... Are my eyes going funny or is the camera lens on the video of Pat reading his letter possibly dirty? Or some filter placed over the video? Sorry for this - it's driving me mad and I can't tell if it's just me!

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Splendid!

[Pretty Boy]

A great touch by Hibs and a fitting year to do it.

[04Sauzee]

Fantastic video 💚🥬

[DaveF]

Brilliant.

I never saw him play as I only started going in the early 80's but there is noore deserving person to have this honour bestowed on them.

[DarlingtonHibee]

Absolutely brilliant news.

No one deserves it more.

My hero for 50 years 🙌

[blackpoolhibs]

My favorite ever player rightly rewarded while alive to see it. :top marks:top marks:top marks:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Absolutely fantastic. Can tell he was properly taken aback by it, too. A wonderful way to mark such a massive landmark.

What a brilliant video that is. The fact his first thought was to wonder what his dad would have made of it got me. You can see the emotion and pride. There is no better recognition that being honored by your own people.

Hopefully the sales for the game on 9th July pick up a bit so he gets the recognition he deserves on the day.

[NC1875]

Different Class 💚

Don’t know but think there was something in my eye watching that. Got quite emotional listening to him talk about how pleased his family would be. What a man.

It looks like a few spots of rain were blown on to the camera.

Anyway, congratulations to Pat. Richly deserved honour! :thumbsup:

[JimBHibees]

Brilliant great to see his reaction and his first thought is about his dad not himself. Beautiful to see

He was my hero back then and that still stands today, what a gentleman on and off the park, well done Hibernian F C.

Given his relation to a key founder of the club it is also more than fitting timing.

[tonyrougier123]

Grew up on stories of how Pat Stanton was mr hibs, I’ve managed to say hello passing him a few times and although I didn’t see him play my Grandad used to tell me how good a player he was(he also used to tell me he was at his wedding everytime the whiskey was out🤷🏼*♂️😂). Tremendous stuff from the club a great honour for a great ambassador. Congratulations 👏🏻I look forward to sitting in your stand next season GGTTH!!

[The Harp]

It should have been done a while ago, but at least it will happen while the great man is still with us.
It's a great honour, and one that Pat rightly deserves
Congratulations Pat.

[BSEJVT]

My hero for over 50 years

Watching that brought tears to my eyes

Well done Hibs and congratulations Pat

[hibee_girl]

That’s just lovely, really made me quite emotional 🥹

He was my Grandad’s favourite, he’d be made up we sat in the stand named after him 💚

Well that was an emotional watch.

[HibeeSince85]

Man that video gets you. The emotion on his face.

I was too young to see Pat play but any Hibee growing up in the years since he graced the pitch knee who he was and what he meant to Hibs. Now he is immortalised.

[Since452]

Sir Tom Farmer stand to follow hopefully

[worcesterhibby]

Great stuff. We need to keep at least one stand un-named so that we can call it the Sir David Gray stand in a few years time after the League and Cup double 😉

[wookie70]

A lovely bit of footage. A great man and a fitting tribute.

[hibeerealist]

A class act by a class football club to a class player!!

Paddy deserves this and I am so happy for him.

Such a humble gent, had the privilege to have been in his company many times and sitting into the wee hours in his Seahaven hotel listening to his fantastic stories and his humour.

Also had the displeasure of playing against him many years ago 🫣

[Eyrie]

Richly deserved.

Very few have given as much to Hibs on or off the pitch, and no-one else has done so in both categories.

Great news!

And, well played The Gordon's. They get Hibs! We're lucky to have them.

This sums up where our club is just now ,this should have done a while ago in my opinion but well done to the present board for getting it done ,so proud of my club just now and cannot wait for next Wednesday will be quite emotional for a Turnbulls Tornadoe fan like myself :flag::flag:

[Halmyre Hibee]

A great honour to a great player and my all time favourite. Had a wee tear in my eye when watching him reading out the letter.

[Hibbyradge]

:not worth

[He's here!]

That really is wonderful. I was blinking back tears at the way his immediate reaction was to think of his dad.

The club is doing so much right these days.

[lugz]

Just bought tickets in the Pat Stanton Stand for the game on Wednesday, would be no greater tribute for him to come out to a packed stand.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Was lucky to see Pat play at the very end of his time as a Hibs player, what I remember most is the anger around Easter Road when he was allowed to leave for Celtic.

I can't think of a more deserving recipient of an honour like this and even more fitting in our 150th year that he is a direct descendent of the club's first captain and was himself club captain in our 100th year.

Hopefully we will see a few more folk buy tickets for the RWE game on the back of this, coincidentally bought mine this morning.

Congratulations Mr Stanton :flag:

[Up-the-slope]

That will bump Wednesdays crowd - smart ;)

Well deserved

[Donegal Hibby]

Absolutely throughly deserved for everything you’ve done for Hibs Pat Stanton :applause::not worth

[hibbie02]

Was my hero growing up. Watching him play with the Tornadoes was my introduction to football. Met him many times in Edinburgh and London. Bumped into him whilst having a wazz before the League Cup final in 2007 and introduced him to a few members of this group. A true gentleman!

[Forza Fred]

We may not have had the internet back in the 70’s but we had Pat Stanton!

I consider myself very fortunate to belong to a generation who watched him play.

A humble bloke too.

[Hibs1969]

Those of us old enough and lucky enough to have seen Pat play saw a Rolls Royce of a player who led our club by example on and off the field. He was and remains my favourite Hibs player of all time and couldn’t be more deserving of this accolade. Well done Hibs on recognising and rewarding a true Hibernian legend.

[Bridge hibs]

Tell us more!

Nothing exciting really but Pat pulled on the Seahaven hotel top in a friendly when I represented a local team Joppa hibs, even in his 50s he was fitter than me, he was playing in a left midfield role and I was right back, he schooled me for 45 mins before he was taken off to save me anymore embarrassment.

We won the game though.

I played alongside Pats Nephew Mark Stanton for a while and he was a very useful midfielder too, Marks Dad, Pats Brother coached us for a spell too. They are a very talented footballing family and Pat was the cream that rised to the top.

[Cooshed Kid]

I love the way they gave the news to Mr. Hibs. It was really moving. It was a beautiful decision by the club. Contrast it with his exit to Celtic!

I was devastated when he was sold to Celtic. As was he. Of course, like the rest of the support, I had no idea he hadn't asked for the transfer and that he was as shocked as I that Stein and Turnbull had done a deal sending him to Parkhead. Ah well, at least he got some silverware he wouldn't otherwise have had. No Hibs fan could have begrudged him that. It does make me wonder, though, if Eddie Turnbull had any concept of man-management skills. It was no way to treat any player, never mind a club legend.

[J-C]

A class player, a class gentleman and a class act by the club.

[Ribs1875]

[ieastherein1973]

My boyhood hero , no player has ever came close , was a privilege to see him play for our famous club. Thank you Hibernian for doing the right thing at the right time.

Eddie was what is euphemistically known as "old school" in his concept of management. And in that era players were little more than the property of the clubs, bought and sold at the owners' whims.

[Since452]

Good the club have recognised our greats with the Famous Five and Pat Stanton stands. Surely the West will be next for STF.

[Pagan Hibernia]

It was a long time coming, and over the past few years as the tornadoes have sadly started to leave us, I was worried the club would leave it too late to give him the recognition and appreciation he so richly deserves. This really is wonderful, heartwarming stuff, and I couldn't be more excited and proud going into the season. It's been a few summers since I felt like that

[FilipinoHibs]

Very emotional when I saw the video of him opening his letter. He is Mr Hibernian, lucky to have seen him play.

I heard Pat talking about the move a couple of years ago and he said he had no ill feeling about it now even if it hurt him at the time. He wasn't getting on with Eddie and he enjoyed his time at Celtic and the chance to bag a few trophies.

Incidentally I used to work with an older Celtic fan who lamented they never signed Pat earlier. Said he was a standout in the deeper role he played when they did sign him and he was convinced they'd have won another European Cup if they had got him a few years earlier. Said he would have been the missing piece of the puzzle.

[superfurryhibby]

A fitting tribute to my favourite ever player.

Well done to Hibs for getting this right.

Congratulations to Pat, he'll be remembered forever at Easter Road and rightly so.

Can't think of a better decision from my time watching Hibs, very fortunate to have seen him play, a lot, true leader on the pitch and one of the greatest Hibernians.

[Jock O]

Its a great video, and he is genuinely overwhelmed, thinking about his Dad.

It was thank to Pat Stanton, mostly, and a Hibs supporting uncle that worked in Peacock Inn where Pat seemed to be a lot that I followed Hibs rather than my Fathers choice, and 10 of his 13 brothers, of Celtic. It was always a bone of contention between us, and I think he thought I would switch as I hit my teens and Celtic had whacked us quite a few times. I like to think he secretly admired I stuck to my guns and didn't.

[GreenPJ]

Brilliant news and he comes across as such a humble man as well.

Full credit to the Gordon's for doing this.

[Garymcl]

First of all full credit to the Gordon Family for this ,like many fellow hibbys I thought this would never happen ,Alec Cropley was my favourite player but Pat is a legend at this brilliant club watched the video yesterday my wife and I were very emotional watching him reading out the message on the letter ,the best way for anyone to show there appreciation for the great man himself is to turn up next Wednesday at Easter Road against Rott Weiss Essen for the ceremony ,gonna have to take a few tissue with me as again gonna be quite emotional :flag:

I doubt anyone can take offence at this, but out of interest why not? Do you prefer the names just being east, west, south etc?

What about the Famous Five Stand, would you prefer it to be the north?

Hibs should be doing more signage for FF stand and a large Hibernian FC signage on side of all sides of stadium for passing fans. Ideally that lights up at night.

Hopefully rename the south stand and West stand too in future.

Not before time, fortunate to see Pat play for Hibs from a young age to leaving for a stint with the smellies out west.
For younger ones who never seen him play, think it was Tommy Docherty manager of Scotland at the time said, Pat was a better Player than Bobby Moore (Moore was regarded as the best defender in Britain at the time with only Beckenbauer above him, in world rankings)
That is how good this real Hibs Legend was.

Hibs should be doing more signage for FF stand and a large Hibernian FC signage on side of all sides of stadium for passing fans. Ideally that lights up at night.

Hopefully rename the south stand and West stand too in future.

Always though they were missing a trick by not lighting up signage on the roof of the stands, so you can see from aircraft landing at Edinburgh. (Then also open a Hibs shop in the Airport)

I've just picked up his book off the shelf and read a couple of chapters. Pat is still banned from the touchline, will he be allowed to have his name on the stand ? He was banned for a year by the SFA while Hibs manager but resigned before serving the ban. He never paid the $500 fine either. "The Quiet Man" by Simon Pia.

Well deserved, great tribute from the club.

Well deserved, great tribute from the club.The stand has absolutely nothing to do with Pat Stantons historical SFA issues and there would be no reason for him to be on the touchline pre and post match either, even as club ambassador I dont think the SFA could do a jot.

He can only serve the ban if he registers for a new club according to the SFA disciplinary rules

I hope he's not opening a sparsely populated stand - ticket sales very poor so far.
