In some ways, he is unlucky as he was simply one star in a team of stars and probably doesn't get the recognition or the remembrance he deserves.
If he had played in any other era he would have been far better recognised for his own abilities.
In many ways, he was Like Pat Stanton, cool and unflappable and oozed class.
He was a tremendous finisher and a great link-up player.
One of the pictures I see in my mind's eye when I think back on those glory days is of him arm aloft in the best Hibs strip there has ever been, probably after scoring the goal in extra time in the 1-0 Dryborough Cup Final win over Celtic.
Great great days
