:agree:

English born Nigerian striker..

Allan Smart

Alan O'brien, Steven Pinau, Yantorno, Zerabi, Grounds

Paul tosh
Lee power
Jamie mcquilken

Wait a mo. These guys were just gash anyway

So many folk not getting the point and once again it going down the dull Sowumni way. BOOO NETTERS BOOO!

I'd have Fabrice Henry & Paul Lovering on my list, maybe Paul Hartley too :wink:

Paul Hartley :fuming:

Darren Dods ? :confused: played 60 odd games for Hibs

Donaldson

Brebner played 123 games but was always decent - Thornhill reminds me of him now.

Stuart Lovell got better the longer he stayed then he was booted out due to the signing of De La Cruz and went onto win the cup for Livi.

Paul Wright - class forward who always scored against us.

:agree: I was going to mention Henry.
First time I saw him I thought we had a player.
He then managed to become totally anonymous in the remainder of the games he played for us - go figure.

Lyndon Andrews kinda looked the part too, but it didn't happen for him either.

On the other side of the coin, my first thoughts on Thicot and De La Cruz were "oh dear".

Billy Kirkwood, his pal Stuart Beedie, Andy Watson and arguably Tam McManus

He didn't play that many for us and seemed to either come off at half time or be brought on. Wore his collar up like Cantona :aok:

Lillian Martin Zambarnardi (sp)

I suppose after MOM in a winning cup final team, the natural progression would be to take over the duties once held by Mother Theresa!

There was a nice guy played CH in the mid to late 70s who left us and IIRC went to Canada, with his Canadian girlfriend to become a policeman, the Mounties, over there. Canny mind his name though.

Kevin Harper made it then lost it! (IMO)

Stevie crawford. Barry lavety, chic charnley, jimmy boco, Marc libbra. Tony Rougier. On the flipside, we looked like we had a player in the shape of Rocastle then he left and barely heard of him again. Would didier agathe count?

Goalkeepers Robin Rae and Jason Gardiner

Andy dow? Dave beaumont?

Paul Lovering :agree:

dont know why he didnt have a longer spell at hibs.

i thought he was brilliant when we were in the 1st division.... never stopped running.


how about Edwin De Graaf??

Then you have the Tynie Heros, Andy Dow & Brian Kerr.

Aye. Robin Rae became a prolific striker in the juniors.

Also Chris Reid on the keeper front.

And some good young hopes who never made it with us;

Coco McDonald
Graham Donald

Jim Scott and Graham Fyffe.:rolleyes: Joe Ward.

Was he not quite a prolific forward until Miller put him to right back for some reason?

I seem to remember Paul Riley being in and around the hibs squad until he was relatively old without ever seeming to play, no idea if he was any good or not though

Billy Findlay, IIRC he got a 5 year contract which was the longest Hibs had ever given to one of their own youngsters at that time. He never looked all that good a player to me and never really made the grade.

Graham Donald scored a few in his first few games when he was only 17 or something and big things were expected of him. It just never happened though. Paul Riley only played a handful of times and think he was released when he was about 20. Went on to play for a few lower league teams - with most of his games being played at Brechin I think.

Was the boy Dempsey not meant to be a decent promising centre half then got injured.

Has anyone mentioned Mark McGraw?


ME!!! I won the Hibs Kids Skills competition when I was 14, infront of about 7k fans, last day of the season, we beat Partick Thistle 1-0. I showed promise there but never got the call about a contract!!

PETRIE!!! :grr::grr::grr:
