Budgie come home............

[green marine]

hibs keepers have taken some ammount of stick over the years so it's easy to see why a quality goalie would want to come to hibs these days, we need a character like john burridge between the sticks, not because he was our best ever but because he united players and fans, the thought of him running the length of the terracin after a home win still gives me goosebumps. legend crazy keeper

The players loved him. He used to do handstands and stuff in the dressing room before games to wind them up.

Budgie was a bit of a comic book character in the style of Alf Tupper. He used to travel from Workington to ER for training every day by train, and IIRC completed the last part of the journey (Waverley to ER) on a moped supplied by Hibs.

Stack appears to be slightly filling in with his on camera naked star jumps and joining the celtic cuddle. Give him a couple of years and he'll be there... Although i don't think there'll be anyone quite like budge

Wouldn't it be great if the board invited old Budgie up for a game and brought him out on the park so that we could show our appreciation?

Indeed it would Alan but I think Budgie is coaching in Oman just now (happy to be corrected if I'm wrong)

Yes i think you are right John. Moray bumped into him at a Bolton game last season, or early this season. And he mentioned something about coaching in the Oman,i think he also mentioned something about being an agent, and one of his keepers was playing that night. Maybe Boltons 2nd choice? He also said he loved his time at Hibs.
