Has signed an extension until 2021. Great news 👍🏼
Fantastic news, legend
It’s not inconceivable he could end up being at the top of the appearances list by the time he retires, he’s already near the top 10.
Delighted with that. If he sees out that contract he’ll have been involved in 16 seasons with the first team [emoji122][emoji122][emoji122]

Great news.
Was just thinking that.Quote:

Gordon Smith with 636. He’d need to play nearly every game until he’s 34/35 to reach that. He’s 12 games away from knocking Erich Schaedler out the top 10 and by the end of next season he could be in the top 5.Quote:

Really, I’m surprised at that as he played for Dundee and Hearts as well didn’t he? (If I’m wrong and he never played for Hearts I’ll need to hang my head in shame)Quote:

Would Gordon Rae be up there too or am I imagining that?
Anywhere I can see the top 10?
Just edited my post to include the list 👍🏼 Although I’m not sure how reliable it is. Gordon Smith apparently made 300 odd league appearances but 600 overall...Quote:

Good news. Another Mr Hibs, great professional and an example to any kids coming through.

Fantastic 💚
It is amazing to think that Lewis is the most successful Hibs player as a Hibs player in winning honours in the last 60 years. 2 major and one minor and hopefully more to come.
Absolutely brilliant news. One of the most underrated and under appreciated players in the country.
Very happy with this news, Lewis is a great guy and a cracking player.
An all time great of the club.
Though it was Arthur, could be wrong.Quote:

Check out this website. The Hibs info is very good.
Lewis has had a fantastic career at Hibs and I think he’s had the best years these past few seasons. He’s the epitome of hard work, skill and dedication.
I’ve never met the man, but by all accounts he is a thoroughly decent guy. I’m delighted that he has signed up again, no one deserves it more than Lewis.
Great news. Love the guy !Quote:

Well done to him; a true Hibs man :agree:
Superb news, so rare to get a 1 club player and his attitude and professionalism epitomises what we want from a club legend, very happy with this. Also good to see the club getting signings like this and some youngsters done nice and early instead of late on in their contracts.
Assuming he plays the majority of the games for the next couple of seasons, this will surely put him up there maybe top 5 appearances for the club! What a legend, fully deserved of his contact.
what was the minor?Quote:

I’m not saying I ever wanted shot of him, far from the case. I’ve always appreciated the job he does and as he’s matured I’m happy to admit he’s only got better and he’s even added to that part of his game that I thought was lacking. He does seem to be an ever present though and hasn’t had much in the the way of competition for a place over all those years, we’ll thats the way it seems anyway. Very happy he’s signed an extension, absolute legend and such a nice guy. ��
I imagine McIntosh means the 2016/17 SPFL ChampionshipQuote:

Are players allowed a double testimonial if they reach 20 years of service?
He really has been through it all, hasn't he? If he was to write the story of his career it would encompass all the highs and lows of being involved with Hibs. There probably isn't a period that is quite an indicative of the rollercoaster of following our club.
Could even go a wee bit further, played in three Scottish Cup finals and two League Cup finals.Quote:

However, I would have to say that I hope Hibs sign another quality player to take over from Lewis. This isn't knocking him it's merely saying it's a position we need strengthening.
Well deserved. Great servant.
Well deserved, Mr Hibernian.
We've kicked every ball with him. Great career at Hibs. Long may it continue.Quote:

Phenomenal.
So pleased for my Bairn and well done Hibs.!
His eventual send off should be mega. Sold out stadium, name the training centre after him so every player who trains with us know what’s expected of a model professional.Quote:

I bump into him quite often in Dunfermline, and when i'm with my boy on a Sunday playing football as he coaches his Kids team. A nicer guy you could never meet and he takes an interest in my boy. Plus he's a model professional and a fantastic footballer.
I love your son Mrs Stevenson 😀Quote:

Agree with that last part too JQuote:

The term legend can be a bit overused but Lewis qualifies on every count.
Ha Ha, not as much as i love him!Quote:

Mr Hibs
I have met him and chatted with him on the street and can confirm that he is indeed a thoroughly decent guy and modest to boot.Quote:

He is a minimum default 7 every game.
:flag::flag:
He's had plenty of competition, just over the last 6-7 years, no one has been able to best him over an extended period of time.Quote:

I hope he is here as long as he wants though and fingers crossed he manages to add another medal or two before he retires.:thumbsup:
Well deserved. Mr dependable.
Love Mr Hibs :flag:
When was the last time hibs went abroad and it didn't end up in a poor run afterwards or something kicking off behind closed doors?
:confused: On a Lewis signs new contract thread??Quote:

When the time comes and he calls time on his playing career I hope he gets the recognition he deserves. I think naming the training centre after him would be fitting, as his dedication, application and attitude is something every youngster who walks through the door there should aspire to.

A true Hibernian legend. Hope he stays on at the club after finishes his playing career.
Because he is an attention seeking end bell. Every post is the same. Scary to think these people exist in amongst normal humans.Quote:

Interestingly, he has played considerably more matches against hearts than any other opponent. 37 matches against hearts...next most is Rangers at 25.

Honest question which may have been answered before, who did he support growing up? Makes absolutely no difference to my opinion of him just interested
Raith Rovers I believe.Quote:
