    Full backs

    Who, in your opinion, was/is the best fullback pairing you have watched playing for Hibs.

    For me it is Murphy and Whittaker.

    I wish I was full back for Hibs tomorrow. Fact.

    Sorry for the delay, I was making my Horlicks

    Brownlie and Shades followed closely by Whitty and Murphy

    Brownlie and Shades by a distance. Whittaker and Murphy were good but not in the same class as these two.

    I started posting on here around two years after I first started viewing. Back then one of the commonplace threads was an ongoing raging debate about whether Whitty could cut it at RB or should be a midfielder . Many, many posters on here didn't rate him as a fullback. I'm not saying it was anyone posting above this but the passing of time has certainly cemented his reputation

    I was always intrigued as to why he didn't get used in the middle of defence - as the more comfortable on the ball CH in a pairing. He's got enough height and he has good technique. Having seen the pen he gave away this weekend that maybe explains it though.......

    For the avoidance of doubt I am definitely a Whitty fan. There are many, many moments that are in the frame for my favourites watching Hibs but one that will always rank very highly was his penalty box dribble in Dnipro. Just beautiful

    There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

    I'm not trying to undermine the recent demise of Sandy Jardine. He was a fine footballer and by all accounts a first class human being. He was kept away from the Scotland RB spot by Danny McGrain so had to play at LB. Both Brownlie and Shaedler were better, man for man and Erich was an actual LB.

    Murphy was one of the best left backs only lacked a little pace.

    I liked laursen and lovell . Wingbacks I guess but was great when both were on form de la cruz for a wee bit too . Also murphy and whitt were superb

    In terms of attacking threat I'd have to put De La Cruz up there. However, he couldn't defend a packet of Rolo's.

    Brownlie & Shades. No other pairing even comes remotely close.
