Joe Jordan.

A non football mate of mine did some genealogy during Covid and said he discovered his grandad played for Hibs straight after WW1 but just for one or two games. Adam Fleming.? I checked all my books but info and pictures are difficult to find, mainly because hardly any were taken at that time.
Knew the year by the Hibs shirt though couldn't remember king Kenny playing in sneddons testimonial . Alan Sneddon signed for us in 1980 I think and in 1981 something unusual happened to him that year , anyone remember what it was ?
2 league winner's medals? 🤔Quote:

I was not sure if Joe turned up for that game, or may be getting mixed with King Pats testimonial.Quote:

Joe Jordan was Pat Stanton's game.Quote:

Sadly, you’re probably right, but you just never know so keep searching!Quote:

Was trying to remember the facts of this one too. Mine is the keeper on the day only played that game too. Maybe Billyhibs has the facts. Can't find it via Google.....Quote:

Can’t remember if he was a trialist or on a short contract but the club either gave him a contract or extended his contract to cover his recovery.
He came on as a sub on 06/03/82 in cup game against Patrick Thistle and then headed back down south
Brian Kerr. Scored the winner at Tynie first game of the season then never seen again

There's a lot of names on here that would struggle to be called notable.

Dermot McCaffrey sent off on his debut versus The Sheep at Pittodrie
Doesn’t make him a bad person :greengrin
I think that was his only start, but he came on for Oxley in the cup replay in Inverness after the contact lens incident. If he's notable then it's for this cameo role in the magnificent Conrad Logan saga.Quote:

The winner against Falkirk would still be travelling in orbit had the net not got in the way!! LOLQuote:
