Funny memories of Hibs players?

[hibby rae]

I'll get the ball rolling. At fir park about 2006/7 Ivan was stretching off in front of the away end when he got the other player to hold his leg for him. The stand starts wolf whistling etc and does a 'cheeky' look back bent over with finger over his mouth and the other hand on his arse!

[Golden Bear]

John Burridge - cult hero, mad as a hatter but a great keeper all the same.

His pre match warm up routines were legendary.

I enjoyed Tam McManus's goal celebration against utd when he started poll dancing

Konte ducking under the ball when it would have been easier to score!

[Jack]

Alex Edwards hiding the ball in the back of his jersey then holding his hand out, palms upwards, shaking his head as if to say 'I've not got it'. The towering opponent leaned over and AE flicked it over his head without him seeing it then pointed to it. Of course the guy didn't believe him.

European game, you had to be there :-)

Yogi streaking during an interview...Alex McLeish?

Pa Kujabi free kick last season against Well. Never seen the whole of ER laugh so much. Fenlon's face was absolutely priceless after that attempt.

Being sick over Willie Murray's head in a night club somewhere like Brora or Inverness around 1977/8.

Chic charnley booting the balls from the warm up into the east stand and encouraging us to nick them.

Tony Mowbray and Mark Venus scouring the boozers of Daugavpils looking for Hibs players and then Mr Venus in particular enjoying himself in one of said establishments later on that night!

Thought it was oldco?

Mine was Dave Beaumont running back to cover a hoof into our box from a Falkirk kick-off. He took is eye off the ball which bounced off the back off his head into the path of one of the attackers. Said forward was instantly flattened. Pen - 2-2.

Midweek Rangers match in the late 70's. Horrid drizzly winter's night with about 10,000 in the ground.

Hibs attack up the slope; Onion loses his boot, and he's too lazy to go off the field. He just settles down to put it back on right on the Rangers 6-yard line while the Rangers goalkeeper Peter McCloy clears his lines downfield - straight to Alan Rough, who gathers it and punts it straight back upfield.

Now I know that those who remember him will find this hard to believe, but Ally McLeod set off like a rocket after that ball, closely followed by Derek Johnstone and Colin Jackson intent on doing him serious injury. Ally times his run perfectly, the ball drops right in front of him, and he hits it with a toe-poke first time and raps a screamer off the Rangers cross-bar (dang!).

McCloy, Johnstone, and Jackson are all three going ape. (Not a hard thing for Rangers players to do, of course - they're halfway there already.)

Because all this time Onion's been kneeling right in front of the Rangers goal, tying his laces and trying to make like a shadow. He's so far offside that none of the officials can see him.

The referee calls Jackson and Johnstone over, takes out his notebook, and starts to book them.

John B finishes tying his laces and very quietly and surreptitiously sneaks back down the pitch behind the referee who's totally oblivious, dealing with two dangerously apoplectic Huns.

Finally Johnstone gets the ref's attention and points up the park at the Rangers goal, obviously telling the ref that there was a Hibs player 45 yards offside when Rough cleared the ball upfield.

Referee stops writing in his book, looks upfield - nobody there. Shakes his head, tells DJ not to tell porkies. Books DJ, books CJ, gives Peter McCloy a stern warning as to his future conduct and gives us a free-kick in the Rangers half of the centre-circle.

The only blot on the landscape was that the ball didn't go in the net.

John McLelland v St Johnstone ,loved it.

[Steve-O]

Sproule rounding the keeper v Arbroath at ER in about 2006 and blasting the ball wide of the empty net from 6 yards was quite a cracker. Mass laughter all round.

Patiently waiting for DirtyDirk's Derek Townsley story....!

Lapaty's penalty in Ian Murray's Testimonial match

[Miguel]

John McNamee cannoned a shot off my head as I was sitting on the wall of 'the cave' in the mid-60s. Came over, ruffled the hair on my dazed head and said: 'Aw right wee man'! Mass of Cave-dwellers pissing themselves.

[Jack]

Arthur Duncan signing autographs and chatting with fans in the East just before kick off. Still there doing the same minutes into the game oblivious to the game having started.

Hibs players going mad then shaking their heads as he apologies to them.

Happened quite often.

A young guy from the Bellshill area was on trial at ER. The lad was a centre-forward, so he was directly up against BBJ. Right at the start of the match his winger sent a corner into the Hibs goalmouth, and the boy beat BBJ to the ball and put a header just over the bar. BBJ helped the lad back to hius feet, a broad smile on his face, clapped him on the back, and clearly said something to the boy. The boy's dad thought that this was nice - the seasoned professional encouraging his laddie, maybe congratulating him on the header. At HT he asked the boy what BBJ had said.

"He told me that if I did that again, he'd break both my effing legs."

Who was the ref?
Normally, against the Weege a ref would sent Onion off for ...... well, they would find something in the rule book to adapt to the situation I'm sure (whether they saw what happened or not.)

[Carheenlea]

Think it was Love Street, back in early 90's, and Gordon Hunter gathered ball in his own half and then embarked on an impressively mazy dribble down the right flank, right go the bye-line before suffering the classic ball dinking off the left toe and making a fresh air swipe at an attempted cross with the right, ball dribbling out for a goal kick.
Geebsie could only laugh along with everyone else in ground, with possible exception of Lexo.

Many moments from Best ... tho there's been a recent topic all of its own for him. My personal favourite was best pretending to stick the flag up mcgrain's erchie.

k
That tackle wasn´t very funny in my book, totally uncalled for.

I remember liking Yogi ramming his shorts up his crack and bending over to stretch whilst the Hearts fans were singing about Hibs being gay.
