One of the first players that I realised was truly pish. Easter Road was his bogey ground.

Left back and pretty steady as I recall. He scored such a screamer at Fir Park once that I got all excited and pie grease ran right up my arm.
Philly McGuinness, Leitrim GAA, died playing in a club match for Mohill. He epitomised all that is best about sport, making a 6 hour round trip to training three times a week from his workplace in Mayo, and was never late. His motto was 'Give it all, or give nothing'. One for all sportsmen to consider.

I say right back. Played left back occasionally but mostly on the right. I remember his debut in a defeat at Starks Park in the 1st division. Not the most talented but a great lad and a good servant to Hibs who always gave 100%.

Right back is correct - Rough, Sneddon, Mitchell.........
Should have realised cos I was sitting in the main stand at Fir Park and he shot down the touchline in front of us before lashing it into the goal at what is now the visitors' end.

i thought he played left back ? Remember my mate telling me in the game against Hearts at Tynie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luB0aej4_rE he had the ball and my mate's dad shouted "Sneddon you couldnae cross a f'n road" , and he duly sent in a perfect cross for Kano to head in. Who could forget Archie's goal in the second half "we're singing in the rain" !!!!!

Isn't there a pub quiz question about Snoddy because he got two league winners medals in one season? Played enough games for us and Celtic?

Right back for heavens sake. And he played there for Celtic too. He was a powerful player going forward.
Not so good in defence.

alan sneddon
He played mostly right back for Hibs and was not a "great" player but agree he gave 100% and was a good servant to Hibs..
His testimonial saw dalgleish feed keith wright to score four goals that night.

Seem to remember him scoring a double in a cup game at ER - think it might have been against Alloa.
Anyone confirm?

After the game their "Spy" commented that Snoddy was our danger man and would be the player they would have to look out for.

I too am in the right back camp... I would have said our defence in those days was most frequently Rough, Sneddon, Mitchell, Rae & Hunter.

I am sure he was right footed and his position was right back but may have played left back sometimes. Last I heard, he had a pub somewhere in the borders (source Jackie MacNamara circa ten years ago).

Although he sometimes played left back, he mainly played right back. He was a solid defender, great tackler, but made Van Zanten look silky coming forward......ok maybe a bit harsh but poor distributor of the ball .
