My mate and I were discussing players at Hibs we just couldn’t take to and this was the XI we came up with
Maxwell
Docherty
Nelson
Forster
McGivern
Tudor Jones
Haalberg
Drey Wright
Kamberi
Soares
Collins
(Limited myself to only a couple of the 5-1 team while all could be valid)
I liked Hallberg.
I’d chuck in Demetri Mitchell and Islam Feruz.
Really surprised about a couple of those!
Forster I liked when he initially broke through (clearly recent news completely changes my mind on him)
Docherty I liked because I thought he was a good player, it was his antics after that made me think less of him
Hallberg just seemed a good guy and player imo
Kamberi I absolutely loved during that first loan and thought we’d won a watch getting him permanently.
Agree about Maxwell, Nelson, Tudor Jones and Soares. I’d add;
Scott Robertson
Paul Heffernan
Rowan Vine
Gary Deegan
Matt Done
Sean O’Hanlon
Roy Odonovan
Never disliked any of them, just never took to them or wasn’t bothered about them. Most from a certain era which says it all
Middleton deserves a starting spot.

Tom James and Josh Vela were 2 abysmal signings.
Vela was just miles off the pace with everything and James refused to tackle anyone.
Shefki Kuqi could barely move by the time he arrived at Hibs. I remember up at pittodrie he must've had a 10 yard head start on an Aberdeen player who caught up with him with ease

Who was the wee Portuguese player? Pretty handy on his day. Liked to give the fans stick in the press. Didn't like him.

Danny Swanson.
Just couldn't take to him. Pretending to be a Hearts fan. Just weird.
Jake Doyle-Hayes. Never really took to him at the time he was with us. Can't say the passing of time or recent events have changed that.
Ian Murray, the attendance at his testimonial said it all 🤣
Fraser Mullen would be in there for me.
Graeme Smith
Michael Hart
Michael Nelson
Ryan McGivern
Demi Mitchell
Josh Vela
Jake Doyle Hayes
Owain Tudor-Jones
Sylvester Jasper
James Scott
Matt Done
Manager probably has to be Terry Butcher but an un-honourable mention for Nick Montgomery who can be his assistant with Billy Brown.
If it's when they played for us, it's harsh. If it's based on crimes that may have been allegedly committed (may actually have been convicted, but I don't remember),then he definitely gets in.Quote:

Aiden mgeady forgot all about him. Hated him when he was here. Showed us no respect even in interviews when he played here.
Agree, he's a wee gimp.Quote:

Same for Jamie Murphy tbh
Paul Hartley = ****
Simon Brown
Matt Doherty
Jordon Forster
Michael Nelson
Ryan McGivern
Pa Kujabi
Owain Tudur Jones
Josh Vela
Tom Soares
Rowan Vine
Danny Haynes
Management team - Terry Butcher assisted by Derek Adams
He is probably up there with the biggest disappointment. A really good player who for whatever reason just didn't really get going for us. Seems a really nice guy as well.Quote:

Bursik
Murdoch
McGivern
McPake
Done
Kerr
Tudor-Jones
Ewan Henderson
Alan O'Brien
Danny Haynes
Heffernan
Some of them have been so bad I can't even remember their names but remember the moments that made me dislike them!
Who started right back in the 4-3 Falkirk game at Hampden? Match fixing levels of performance! Also whoever absolutely sh*t the bed pulling out of a tackle at the very end of the Hamilton play off game? That might have been Tudor Jones the more I think about it?
Tim Clancy I think. Another that's worthy of anyone's team.Quote:

Never seen so many people just up and leave in sheer anger.
Atrocious footballer.
It was Tudor Jones, in front of the east,if he doesn't bottle the tackle, we stayed up.Quote:

Nelson
Looked up Wage Thief in the Urban Dictionary and the name Tudur-Jones appeared
Boasting on his podcast that he knew his legs were gone when he signed for us
Should be ashamed of himself
Said he was half way to Carlisle as soon as the final whistle went against Hamilton didn’t hang about
I'd have to stick Ray Wilkins in there
Why do so many dislike the Gambian Roberto Carlos? Wasn't very memorable other than his free kick attempt
Absolutely your opinion but Will Fish is a niche dislike.Quote:

This lot beat some stiff opposition.
Tudor Jones was more interested in golf than football. Roaster.
Brian Hamilton, James Collins and Kevin Nesbit would all find a starting spot in my team.
Jorge Carlos
That roaster Alan O'Brien, total bottle merchant and a complete shanbag. Woeful, could have played better myself.
Can only really think of Doherty, Wilkins, Mueller and McGivern, Kamberi of course. Not including ***** players, only legitimate ********s. Gary Caldwell can take the remaining places on the team.
We played St Johnstone away first game of the season a couple of years ago
There was a picture of Nisbet McGeady and 3 others drinking in the Market Glasgow
I always felt they should have been at the game
Never took to mcgeady cos of that and Nisbet to an extent
Brian Hamilton does not merit being bracketed alongside some of the here today gone tomorrow dreadful signings included. Gave very good service to Hibs, but was a boo boy target very much like Joe Tortolano and Paul Kane.

Will probably get slaughtered for this but Anthony Stokes.
Forever grateful for that unreal display on 21.05.2016, he was unstoppable that day and won us the cup. But a dislikable character and towards the end treated the club with no respect, turnign up late all the time to training, fights on the training ground with management etc. Acted like Billy big baws, never grew up and thought he could do whatever the hell he liked. I can't imagine someone like that would be well liked in the dressing room either.
As I say, legend for his heroics in the final but can't say I think much of him as a person and he left the club under a cloud. Shame because with his experience he could have been such an asset to have around the club if he just had a better attitude.
Some of the names on this thread still give me nightmares! Billy Brown, arrogant hearts ******* should never have been anywhere near Hibs. An absolute bellend of the highest order.
The irony of your username isn’t lost :greengrinQuote:

have to agree but he did take us to consecutive cup finals and was honest and said he wasn’t man to take club forward mad times and Butcher signed some belters as well

Likeable guy though.
Remember hearing that our scouting back then was a shambles too.Quote:

Yup. Was great to see Pat in the Hibs end at Hampden when we won the cup. He had some honking results which he'll unfortunately be remembered for but I just couldn't dislike the guy.Quote:

Eduardo Hurtado. Sure he was meant to be a replacement for Latapy.
Hurtado was a striker. More likely to fill the Mixu role. Didn't find him particularly dislikable, just crap!Quote:

Mind Tanks Debut maybe at home to Motherwell ? And Donald park was firing crosses in Zitelli was Overhead and scissor kicking them in while Hurtado the ball was just hitting off him lolQuote:

This. Couldn’t stand him. He thought he was Glenn Hoddle. Loved to attempt a long pass but nearly always duck-hooked it 30 yards away from its target. Then after the ‘squiggler ‘ attempted to shoot every time he got a sight of goal no matter how far out he was.Quote:

I'd struggle to pick just 11, however Demetri Mitchell would be the first name on it.
Think that was Liam Miller?Quote:

That is certainly an opinionQuote:

So I'd like him to find his way into the team please, even allowing for the fact that he never played for us.
Tom Soares was quality just played in a sh#t team
A blast from the past Zibi
That semi against the Hearts was a sackable offence the goals he threw in
Zibi gets the number 1 shirt for me by an absolute mile. Still think he must've been on the Romanov payroll.Quote:
