Good luck to the wee man.

***Jones28*** · 17-12-2013 03:57 PM

Best of luck to him

***Keith_M*** · 17-12-2013 03:59 PM

Just had a look at the photos. Do they really have Five Stars above their badge?

Are they trying to pay homage to their Big Brothers across the water?

Good luck Ivan a Hibee hero! Did he go back to NI for family reasons? Seem to recall hearing something about it?

**~~BOB MARLEYS DUG~~** · 17-12-2013 04:12 PM

Good luck Ivan, absolute legend.

He did mate.

**Dashing Bob S** · 17-12-2013 04:14 PM

The man's a god. I love him.

**marinello59** · 17-12-2013 04:18 PM

Good luck to him, one of my all time favourite players.

**jdships** · 17-12-2013 04:27 PM

Got to know him quite well when he played at ER and he was great to be with
Good luck at Linfield

***Hibernia&Alba*** · 17-12-2013 05:59 PM

His hat-trick at Ibrox was magic. The mini-Rangers that are Linfield are a disgusting club, though.

**Sir David Gray** · 17-12-2013 06:01 PM

All the best to him.

One of my favourite ever Hibs players.

Didn't he first want to go back home for family reasons in, ooh, 2006? He's got there at last.

Don't know much about Linfield, but while he left NI a Hun he returns as a Hibby.

***Bostonhibby*** · 17-12-2013 06:19 PM

A proper Hibby and a great servant to the club, all the best Ivan.

**21.05.2016** · 17-12-2013 07:23 PM

All the best Ivan. Loved you as a hibs player, always played for the jersey!

True hibee, wish him every success!

***tamig*** · 17-12-2013 07:33 PM

Dont forget wee Pat also played for Linfield.

Good luck to Ivan in the next chapter of his career Linfield are the top club in the N. Irish League and he will be a breath of fresh air there.

I have been over there a few times in the last few years to see a young friend of mine play for them at Windsor Park and other grounds in their league.

Walking into their stadium is like walking into the "cauldron of hate" that i call Ibrox. Red white and blue everywhere.

The boys themselves are great lads which is more that i can say of their manager, put it like this he is the most awful person i have had the displeasure of knowing!!!

I really hope Ivan does well but also hope he is wary of people like him.

**weonlywon6-2** · 17-12-2013 09:02 PM

Great memories of Ivan.All the best wee man

**Swedish hibee** · 17-12-2013 09:04 PM

All the best Ivan

Cracking man, cracking player & a Hibee too. Hope it goes well for him.

***Jonnyboy*** · 17-12-2013 09:36 PM

Good luck Ivan and thanks for the memories

***blackpoolhibs*** · 17-12-2013 09:43 PM

Not the best player i have seen in a Hibs shirt, but he's been a big part of some of the best memories i have had in recent years.

Good luck for the future.

**FranckSuzy** · 17-12-2013 10:56 PM

Ivan was one the Hibs players who just 'got it' when playing for us. He seemed to love us as much as we loved him. "He's here. he's there...." All the best Ivan, you are a true gentleman

***The Harp*** · 17-12-2013 11:01 PM

Best of luck Ivan, hope things work out well for you. You've left us with some wonderful memories.
Hope to see you back at ER as a fan.

**kaimendhibs** · 17-12-2013 11:18 PM

Love Ivan, a hibs legend for me. Wish him all the best for the future. A real gent.

The ultimate definition of a cult hero, all the best

**~~My_Wife_Camille~~** · 18-12-2013 12:33 AM

Hibernian Legend in my eyes. A player that I will remember fondly for many years to come!

**Squealing pig** · 18-12-2013 03:41 AM

He will rip people a new 1 at that level. Gd luck thanks for the memories :)

Agree. Worse than Rangers.

I didn't realise he was a bluenose. I remember him saying after the Rangers hat trick game that it was difficult because some family and friends were in the Rangers support. Even so, he certainly had some sense knocked into him as he was a true servant of the club at ER.
