allan sneddon?

[andudare2]

could anyone help settle an argument re. which postion allan sneddon played in most for hibs?

[Barney McGrew]

Left back IIRC

[3pm]

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

[Aubenas]

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.

He also scored a ripper on the volley at Tannadice in the mid 80s.

Ah Cyclops!

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%.

Did he not get sent off in that game, which we then went on to lose?

i seem to recall him as a left back, but may be wrong.

i had the same epiphany about Stuart Turnbull, and he truly was pish. made sneddon look like roberto carlos

[Aubenas]

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. Maybe my memories are coming in mirror form now

Lost it 2-0 and Cyclops gave away a pen but I can't remember if he was sent off

[hibernian36]

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" !!!!!

[Winston Ingram]

He played alot of games in both full back positions

[blackpoolhibs]

I'd say more right than left.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

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?

Yup, I remember mainly on the right too. Was decent as a defender but a nightmare with the ball at his feet (not alone as a hibs defender on that count though).

[greenlex]

Defo full back.

That's right NH - Celtic in the Premier and Hibs in the First

[eastmainsmsh]

was at Alans testimonial back in the day versus villa kenny dalglish played up front villa had dwight yorke and cyrille regis was a cracking game

[heretoday]

Right back for heavens sake. And he played there for Celtic too. He was a powerful player going forward.

Not so good in defence.

[Stantons Angel]

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.

[Edina Erin]

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

August 15th 1989 in a midweek League Cup game at ER

Sure this was just before a euro tie and hibs were being watched by our forthcoming opponents.
After the game their "Spy" commented that Snoddy was our danger man and would be the player they would have to look out for.

It was a cracking game but it was not Dwight Yorke, it was Tony Daley.

[MontrealHibs]

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.

[ronaldo7]

I'm in the Wing back camp, left or right

[ahibby]

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).

[allezsauzee]

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 .
