    If you mean this Ally McLeod then sorry to be the bearer of bad news, he passed away a few years ago.

    No I mean the other Ally McLeod who played for you in the 70's I think. He was on loan at Huddersfield in the early 70's, I think he also played for Southampton.

    I thought Ally was a genius but he was another player whom the fans had divided opinions over his abilities.

    Scored what I regard as the best Hibs goal I've seen. With his free kick into top right corner. Ref made him take it again he put it in the top left. I think it was against Dundee.

    Sure was against Dundee, cracking goal. He was one of my early Hibs heroes.

    An infuriating player at times, I used to give him dogs abuse cos I just didn't like him but compared to nowadays I wished I'd kept my big gob shut!

    Ally joined Hibs in December 1974 from Southampton who had signed him from St Mirren after he scored all four goals for his side when they won 4-1 at Ibrox. Played over 200 league games for Hibs and scored seventy odd goals. As mentioned above he was a burly guy who was often accused of being a lazy player but what is not in doubt is that he had tremendous footballing ability. Unfortunately I can't offer any info on his current whereabouts
    This is how it feels

    Nice understatement considering he was a fat bassa.

    Ally was a class footballer and not a very fit one once he past his mid twenties. He had that knack of knowing all the angles on the park, where his opponents and team-mates were and could pick out a pass in an Alex Edwards style (no quite as good though). Also a had a really huffy attitude which obviously pissed off a lot of hibbies but it usually pissed off his opponents as well as he could make them look pretty silly at times. I remember him running after a ball once and you could see he wasn't going to get there so 20 yards short he just stopped stone dead, saying "f*** that" and turning round. Guys around us went doolally as wasn't showing "desire". I just thought he knew he had so little puff he was just saving it for something he knew was going to get. When he had Des Bremner doing the graft for him and Ralph Callachan making space, he was hugely entertaining.

    He was present at the Turnbull Tribute game v Aberdeen at the end of last season, I think.

    I thought it was one of each! But it was one of the best pieces of skill I've ever seen. McLeod was also the only person who had the football intelligence to understand George Best. I remember the SC semi final at Hampden in 80/81(?) in a/the year we got relegated v Celtc - Best played for half an hour and gave up as no-one on either side could work out what he was going to do. I don't think McLeod played that day - but if he had we might not have got beat 5-0. We would of course have got beat.

    Bottom left, top right - first one was a bit of a scoop over the wall. Second was a belter onto the top corner.

    My first ever derby game .. Tynecastle 78ish? .. Ally McLeod scored in the last minute to earn a 1-1 draw .. didn't go down well with the home support and sparked one of the most violent ends to a football match I've ever witnessed.
    But you know it ain't all about wealth,
    as long as you make a note to .. EXPRESS YOURSELF!

    In my mind's eye, both free kicks were low.

    But i'd be delighted to se them again and be proved wrong.
