    I can see how that could happen. It was apparently a marketing ploy to give it that title as Fergie only signed 3 outfield player twice in his while career. Dougie had that confirmed as a fact at the same time as he spoke to Sir Alex about providing the foreword.

    The fellah doing the 90s book has a great Twitter page where he puts up a lot of long lost Hibs 90s goal action amongst other things.

    Pretty sure I read somewhere that someone was working on a new book from Best 2 Beastie but seems to have gone quiet and under the radar?

    A good centre half-considered to be a good footballer in those days.Like a lot of Hibs players of the 1950s/60s didn't get much international recognition. Must be well into his 80s.

    should be interesting and I probably will try and get a copy. I wonder how much responsibility Duff will take for the precarious financial position the club was in around that time.

    *just read the synopsis on the Waterstones website, apparently Duff “led the charge against the takeover”

    I recall Jackie Plenderleith from his time at Manchester City.

    He signed for City in 1960 and moved on to South Africa, three years later, after falling to establish himself in the first team as a regular.

    The 'quiet and under the radar' part was me getting the book written, but all is good...

    "Bestie to Beastie to Belgium: Hibs' green and white knuckle ride through the 80s" has been completed and is currently going through final edits and type-setting in the hope it will be printed and on sale by early December. It will be hard-back only initially with an e-version planned in 2022. A launch and a couple of book signings, featuring ex-players, are in the pipeline. It includes more than 100,000 words, 64 pages of pictures and 40+ interviews with players, managers, directors, journalists and fans.

    The ex-players/managers I have interviewed, and who have shared some brilliant stories from the decade, include: Bertie Auld, John Blackley, Ally Brazil, Ralph Callachan, John Collins, Steve Cowan, David Duff, Gareth Evans, Alan Hart, Keith Houchen, Ricky Hill, Jim McArthur, Jackie McNamara, Eddie May, Alex Miller, Callum Milne, Graham Mitchell, Neil Orr, Craig Paterson, Brian Rice, Alan Sneddon, Pat Stanton, George Stewart, Joe Tortolano, Steven Tweed and Mickey Weir.

    I'll be back with an update soon, and you can also follow me/the book on Twitter @Hibs80s, but the book - priced £18.75 - will defo be on sale online and in the Hibs Shop, plus GPfootball.com in West Lothian, and a few other local outlets.
