Looking through the nominee's for the Hall of Fame and whilst there are some very worthy names, I could not help but notice our founder is missing. Am I missing something? am I the only one who thinks the man deserves a place?

Oregonhibby would be the best person to add some clarity to this given the research he has done for the historical trust.

St Patrick's - Home of the Hibs
Hibernian football club owes its existence to Canon Edward Hannan, who, in 1869, founded a branch of the Catholic Young Men's Society (CYMS) as a focus for and support for young Irish immigrants.
As a result of the activities of the CYMS, and responding to a request by a young member, Michael Whelahan, Fr Hannon decided to establish a football team. He hoped that this would help to integrate the Catholic community of the South Side into the wider Edinburgh community.

Back to the point. I haven't looked at the nominees but I kind of thought this sort of thing was for players rather than anyone connected to the club. If it was for anyone then obviously Cannon Hannon and Micheal Whelehan should be the first names on the list.

On a side note Peter Lawell might get a mention for spending £4.4M on Scott Brown.

Ah, the Cannon. It was his thunderous shots from 25 yards that earned him the soubriquet.
