Watched him on the day he got the train up to Edinburgh to play as a trialist. Outstanding, said to my friend we have to sign that boy.

Yeah, spoiled watching him as a teenager. Had pleasure to train a couple of times with hibs and his ability is frightening.
He could play anywhere on the park with a touch like that. Always had time

That goal against Celtic at Easter road when he played a one two from half way line and smashed it in. Also the header at ibrox

Immense.
If he was that good without pace, can you imagine how good he'd have been if he was quick?
Loved him.

Excellent player. Great first touch, could pass a ball accurately short or long, strong in the tackle, good in the air for his hight and a great striker of the ball from open play or a dead ball.
His goal v St Johnstone in the LC semi at Tiny will stay in my memory. Can't find any footage online. Only thing he lacked was a bit of pace.

Tremendous player. If we had 11 players with that attitude and class we'd be some side.

I saw Shades, great great player, different from Murphy but, in hibs team that he was part of, fabulous. Originally Posted by Yuillsy

Certainly the best full back we've had in my 20 or so years of watching Hibs,it's shame he had to retire.

In my top 3 Hibs players I who's talent I could really appreciate (I saw Latapy and Sauzee but was young) alongside Riordan and Boozy.
At a push, he'd edge it before them. Class, sublime, so consistent, he just eased himself through games.
He'd have England caps if he had a bit more pace as he certainly had the technique for it.''It's always been just part of the culture. Growing up, for most working-class kids, is all about football, music or clothes. You might not have much money, but whatever you have got, you're going to look good.'' - Paul Weller

Can you teach pace? Just, if we did that, we could've added an extra zero on to his transfer fee

Time does funny things to your perception of a past players abilities and performances, but in Davids case, my memories are of holding my breath when he had the ball, expecting something sublime to result from his possession....and my old bones cherish those memories.
One of the best to pull on a Hibs jersey. I'm disappointed we didn't arrange a pre-season with Birmingham as a testimonial

Well worthy of the recognition, never have replaced him.

Different players, Murphy was the best of the last couple of Decades but Shades was the best in the position I have seen he brought an extra dimension when the going got tough. Loved the club, never voluntarily left and couldn't wait to get back. Originally Posted by Lago
