Spanish Player
I worked there for many years and Pepe Hernanz owned the Queensway hotel Tom Hart did hold board meetings there in the Parador Restaurant. The hotel was sold to an Investment company and demolished. I was not aware that pepe was still with us as would be 80+ by now.Pablo was his Pepe's Ex Partner in the Casa Espaniola on Rose St before the Queensway hotel.......Pepe also bought Tom Harts house in Ravelston!!!

He told me the thing he missed most about Easter Road was a pie and Bovril at half time. The conversation turned to Pepe and he had died quite recently. This was in 2005.

I remember those days fondly when Tom Hart and the other Board members used to come to the hotel for meetings and socialising. At one point the team used to come for pre-match lunch too. The highlight for me was when George Best played for us and he came to the hotel all the time and became quite pally with my Dad. When he was leaving the club he came down to the Hotel one Sunday afternoon to get some photos with us which he then signed. He was a brilliant guy.

It's nice to read a thread like this recalling so many diverse folks great affection for our club. It's a pleasant change from much of the doom & gloom. It's good to know some of the guys from Rose St & Queensway are still going strong. My dad was a great friend of Tom Hart & at 92 years young is still in hope of us achieving the holy grail!!

My brother is a top chef in Madrid and he mentioned tonight that he is in touch with another Spanish player who played at Raith Rovers but also said he played for us - Jorge Zoco. I can't place then name but the lad apparently still talks about Hibs with great affection.
Anyone remember him?

Knowing nothing of the subject, this is a very refreshing read compared to some of the stuff on the board these days.

Spanish
pepe had a lot of contacts at Hibs...Dougie Crombe etused to eat there every Saturday night....also Players that were on Trial or just signed used to stay there (Mark Caughey ) and more. Many a good night and used to have the hotel Xmas party in the 50 Club. I believe that he had a major fall out with Pascqual aqnd never really spoke about it. He was with Trisha for years and had a son called Paul.
I worked there for many years and still remember my time there with fondness
Tom Farmer was also a Regular in the Restaurant
