    Who signed Ray Wilkins?

    Anyone able to settle a bet between a mate and me please....

    Which Hibs manager signed Ray Wilkins as a player (in 1997 I think)?

    I reckon it's Duff Jimmy, my mate says Lex Miller.

    Cheers
    Jim

    Cheers Lad. I guess my mate's got to be right on something just once in his life...clearly he's a big Wilkins/Miller fan ;-)

    No surprised it was Miller's last signing....it's a sackable offence alone! Desperate measure.

    I remember a 4-0 League Cup defeat at Ibrox where Wilkins applauded the huns while being substituted, completely ignoring the Miller Must Go chants from the small band of Hibs fans!

    I thought it was Jim Duffy also am going have to find out now. Still not really sure who signed him but guess it was maybe Duffy who got rid of him which is my I am thinking it was Duffy who signed him. In another note I see Alex Miller was manger in Sweden this year for a whole four mouths at AIK he must of done a great job!

    Im pretty sure it was miller

    Infact i'm sure a few weeks before he signed he was quoted saying

    " we could do with a ray wilkins style player "

    roll forward a few weeks and wilkins was sporting his dads calor sponsored hibs top with the stripey sleeves in the evening news

    Definitely Alex Miller.

    Wilkins made his debut on my Wedding day and got man of the match. Hearts got beat at Ibrox same day and had 4 men sent off, both these things got mentioned in wedding speech especially for my Jambo best man

    I honestly couldn't see what Wilkins brought to Hibs certainly not as a player, perhaps if we'd signed him 20 years earlier than we did. Pretty obvious he still considered himself a Hun too could never forgive him for that applause.

    As an aside apart from Andy Millen would Wilkins have been the oldest outfield player to play in the Scottish Premier League?

    100% sure it was Auld Lexo - don't think Wilkins even played under Duffy IIRC.

    Definately Miller.

    Terrible signing too - he was woeful.

    Wee bald overweight 40 year old playing for Hibs - embarressing!

    This should clear it up, if you can read the text it says Miller.

    Did he not applaud them in what (I think) was his last game for us against Rangers at ER?

    Absolutely correct. We were all going daft at Wilkins for that. Joke of a signing from Mogadon who was a busted flush by then.

    miller. I mind we lost the week before or something and Miller was in the paper quoted as saying we need an old head in midfield "like Ray Wilkins was". All of a sudden it was announced a few days later that the geriatric ex hun had actually signed!!! It was the last act of a desperate man who knew his time at Hibs was coming to an end, I was still absolutely raging at the time mind.

    I'm with you. Was definitely Ibrox. We beat them at ER a couple of weeks later IIRC. He might have done it then as well though.
