Still amazes me we had him and sauzee in the same team

Same here. Was just an absolute genius who always had an assist or goal in him. Also scored my favourite ever derby goal

Derek Riordan. But i loved David Zitelli as well.

Franck Sauzee
John O’Neil
and for some reason Willie Miller from my youth.

I'm old enough to have watched the Tornadoes.

Anthony Stokes for me.

John Madsen !

Definitely, loved the enthusiasm and joy when they played, that both Mickey Weir and Keith Wright showed. If you are too young, watch some old videos on you tube. Loved Hibs through and through.

Darren McGregor too. These boys all lived our childhood dreams, you could see it on their faces. Also got to mention Riordan. He scored some great goals, and against them. Imagine scoring one of Riordan's screamers against them, then running over to your mates in the terracing to celebrate.

John McGinn.

Had loads of good players around him but he was the absolute heartbeat of that team for me.

Sauzee and Latapy very close behind. They were incredible players.

Strange one but Chick Charnley was a huge favourite. Ability was frightening. Just wonder how good he could have been if he'd screwed then nut in his younger days. Remember him scoring from the half way line.

PG Stanton. Special mention to Jimmy O & SDG

Got too many ! FAMOUS FIVE,MICKY WEIR,ALAN GORDAN,CONRAD LOGAN ,STANTON, WRIGHT More than that ! Isn't it great we have had such class players! O TO BE A:flag::flag::flag:

Pat Stanton

Top 5 over the years:
Kevin Harper
Franck Sauzee
Sir David Gray
John McGinn
Efe Ambrose (was a baller for us)

King Paddy Stanton

My season ticket years were 93-97, which explains my choices.

1 - Crunchie - always loved to see him in the team and on the wing and always felt he gave his all.
2 - Kevin Harper - ditto
3 - Leighton - safest pair of hands in goal in my Hibs years.

Special mentions to;

4 - David Farrell, just felt he had a 'never give up' approach.
5 - Danny Lennon - watched him v Aberdeen once and thought we'd unearthed another Crunchie.

I really liked Michael O’Neill. A really classy player who I loved watching play

Yeah I was at that game , no cameras saw it either if I recall . Alloa in the cup wasn’t it

Pat Stanton will always be a legend to me but the player I idolised as a teenager in the mid 60s was " The Rebel" Eric Stevenson.

Stevie was a wonderful player brilliant winger more tricks than a bag full of monkeys would hug the touchline always beat his full back and nine times out of ten ended up getting hauled down inside the box for the Penalty King Joe Davis to convert the award

Took an unofficial day off from Ayr United to nip away and watch Hibs win the League Cup in 1972

A Hibee through and through

Pat Stanton head and shoulders above the rest.
Peter Cormack whose mannerisms we all copied in the playground.

Along with Gerry Baker,the Rebel was my hero as well.
When Ian Brennan ran the Bonnyrigg Hibs bus,they use to pick up some of us Clerry boys at the Rainbow pub for away games.
I sat beside Eric on the bus one time.
Now i can talk a glass eye to sleep, but i was speechless with Eric.:lips seal

Gerry Baker would sometimes give Jimmy O a lift home after training.
So that was me, a 10/11 yr old offering Gerry a bourbon biscuit to go with his cuppa our ma poured for him:greengrin
Gerry of course arrived at Hibs after having won a Scottish Cup medal with St Mirren.
Now Turnbull was Hibs trainer then.
He must have been jealous of Gerry's medal !!

A pal in Clerry back then was a very good artist/drawer. Ran in the family
We made a banner and he painted a big Bumble Bee on the cloth.
Our Gerry Bee Flag !!

Alex Cropley. The best pound for pound tackler in the business.
