Aye he did. The Showunmi you're thinking of is his brother Tam, who had a brief spell at Falkirk.

Easily done, mate.

Believe it or not, there are quite a few people who get confused between Enoch Showunmi and his close namesake Thomas Sowunmi.

Of course no one with any intelligence would make that mistake once it had been pointed out to them.

Unless they were being deliberately irritating... :devil:

Can remember when we brought in Paul Wright from Dundee. I was absolutely delighted about that. Real shame that we couldn't have held onto Keith Wright at the same time, who'd had a good season for us all things considered.

Went on to do alright for Aberdeen and Kilmarnock.

We didn't sign Paul Wright from Dundee.

We signed KEITH Wright from Dundee.

PAUL Wright came to us from QPR. Moved on to St Johnstone, then Killie. he was at Aberdeen before he was at QPR.

Poor lad ended up at Larkhall Thistle, where he played no games and (unsurprisingly) scored no goals, giving himself a 100% scoring record (or possibly a 0% scoring record, depending on how you want to look at it.)

He was also quite ugly.

And we've not had many better right backs at the club since his son, also Willie, left (to become a gardener, I believe). Only other manager/player combination we had from a single family that I can think of was Jock Stein and his son Colin, but there may be more.

It was exciting times. The following season we signed Chris Jackson and they formed a JAW partnership.

Then the following season John O'Neil and some wee winger indirectly from chelsea nicknamed mars bar arrived that gave us real attacking zonal threat...

It was quite an exciting team built by Willie Miller despite having to shaft his assistant Kevin McCloud.

Sounds as bad as when our manager Patrick Duffy signed Chic Young to play in the middle of the park, even though he was a bit past it at that stage, and paid 400k for Joan Crawford, then added Paddy Power to the line up, you'd have put money on him to do well too...

colin grant - alive and well and living in Ellon. met him a few times through local golf. still speaks fondly of his time at easter road. I remember him scoring winner in East Germany against Lokomotiv Leipzig in the Fairs cup around 1968-ish (at least I think I do !)

I'd forgotten about Johnny Grant-I remember he destroyed Falkirk at Brockville one New Year-he was smaller than the corner flag.

Fox scored a great goal at Tynie-surprised he didn't do more in the game.

A real disappointment was John Brogan who was a great goal scorer everywhere but us.

One that I remember having high hopes for was Pat Carroll who made his debut for us when aged c. 16/17 in the mid 70's.

I recall that just before he joined us he was a stand out in midfield for a Scottish Schoolboys team that beat their English counterparts at Wembley in a match that was televised live on a Saturday afternoon.

All the pundits were raving about his performance (including Jackie Charlton iirc).

Unfortunately when he made his first team debut he appeared to take stage fright, though he we was not helped by a vociferous mob of morons on the home terracing slagging him off, including catcalls that he needed his nappy changed :fuming:

IMO that destroyed any self confidence he had and he eventually moved on to Raith and then Falkirk.

I knew Pat quite well around that time, IMHO it was all the numpties he ran around with from Tullibody which didn't help to further his career. Last time I met him he was in a pub in Falkirk years ago after a game at Brockville, I think he still tried to get to the occasional Hibs game then. Pat was a decent lad shame he never made it.

Since the Transfer thread got hi-jacked the other day with talk of Greg and Graeme Miller and of Paul Riley, I thought that this one could be brought back up as there must be others since 2011 that could be added to the thread?

I reckon it’s far too early to add any of this seasons new signings yet but, Joe Newell doesn’t exactly look like he’s going to set the heather on fire, from what I’ve seen so far.

Away from Hibs.

Kevin Thomson and Boozy should have had well better careers for the talent they both had. Both unlucky with injury.

At Hibs, Freddie Arpinon - again major unlucky with injuries.

Paul Riley really deserved more of a chance than he got. Not the best player ever, but definitely not the worst.

Not sure if already mentioned but I remember seeing a young lad David Crawford a few years back in a preseason game and thought he looked quite good, but never came through.

Gary Lineker very famously didn’t make it and went on the pitch at a World Cup

Jonathan Bailie was very unlucky not to establish himself.

Kevin McBride for me - looked like a great holding midfielder until he started being perpetually injured. Also partly wanted him to succeed because he had gotten pelters at Falkirk for sticking up for our then manager.

Joe Keenan was a massive success - two derby appearances, two wins!

Eric Paton loads of natural skill

Willie Paterson signed from Burnley glorious diving header versus Hearts

Graham Donald is the one that annoys me. I always thought he looked good up front so what does Alex Miller do? Plays him at centre half!

Surprised Alan Reid hasn’t been mentioned. Our best player in the 2004 LC Final v Livi in my opinion.

Another great shout. Played a blinder in a cup win over Celtic.
