Now and again Hibs fans tag onto rubbish players who turn into cult heros for whatever reason.

Jimmy Boco is that man.

One man's legend is another man's dumpling.

If Mainboy wants to think of JB as a legend then he has every right to do so

My first game was a Joe McBride double at Swiney in 84? so he will forever be a legend to me (even if he was pish too lol).

Indeed.

Jeezo, some folk even rated Paul Tosh

[stoneyburn hibs]

He was a cult figure at Hibs but when i think of Jimmy all i can think of is that 4-3 defeat against Rangers at Easter Road , we should never have lost that game.

Pinhead , nuff said.

[KeithTheHibby]

Not the best player in the world by any means but he loves the Hibs.
Came over for Ian Murrays testimonial despite now even knowing the guy and was responsible for Pires and Vierra playing.
Was also life and soul of the party up the town after.

Top bloke is JB.

My Hibs hero growing up was Gordon Rae, loved the guy, my all time hero is Franck, one gave 100% every time he played, one gave 100% every time he played, but was a European cup winner, is there a difference? Your hero is who makes the impression on you surely???

Same with me mate. No idea but he must have done something right at the Hibs Kids things for us to like him (not the Craig Thomson(Player) kind of right)

Despite getting dissed from many on here as a player, it's a pity more of the Cup Final team didn't have that attitude so maybe not a legend as a player but your ok by me Jimmy

[joe breezy]

My pal works in sports marketing & community football projects so he must be still involved in the game, meeting my pal next week so will find out next week properly

At times like these whether as a player someone was a top performer it's good to have characters

Just saying the guy seems a top bloke

This was the last message he sent

"I have very good memories of my time at Easter road. I miss Scotland so much. ANd it's always a pleasure to come back to Edinburgh.

Take care

Jimmy ( a Hibee for the rest of my life....)"

[HibbyAndy]

He really was pish lol, But very likeable.

I think, to be fair to Jimmy, his career was at it's end when he came to Hibs. He served RC Lens in the top Tier of French football for many years, and came with a decent pedigree. Just don't think he had the legs to be the flying fullback anymore. That said, he managed to produce some of the best runs in Ian Murray's testimonial, in the 15ish minutes he managed!
