To think he could have replaced Steve Archibald
I remember picking up the paper and the headline was that Hibs were in for Rosenthal and Mark McGraw.
I'm sure there was talk of him wanting a 50k signing on fee.
Can anyone remember anything about that possible deal?
Did it nearly happen ?

I had a photo of RR in a Hibs strip playing in what I assume was a reserve game for us so it must have been close. Remember we were linked with David platt about the same time.

Ronnie joined Liverpool instead and scored 9 in 8 games I think.
Heard the Platt thing too. Not too sure how certain that deal was either.No Eternal Reward Shall Forgive Us Now For Wasting The Dawn

I believe he played one "trial" game for Hibs reserve side. The game was at Jordanhill College in Glasgow - midweek afternoon. Think it was against Rangers but might have been Partick Thistle. Just remember the legendary wee Mick McGhee (sadly no longer with us) telling me the sory a few years back. Needless to say he was at the game!

Amazing the level of detail they had about the contract negotiations and what the players were after!!

I remember we went to watch a player and Gareth stood out for the opposing team but I don't think it was Rosenthal.No Eternal Reward Shall Forgive Us Now For Wasting The Dawn

I think that's true but don't believe David Platt had committed to join us at any time...think I heard him in an early interview saying that he had reservations about moving to Scotland at the time...

Rosenthal didn't sign because he wanted too much money on a short term deal. I was told the figures at the time, but can't remember them. I got the impression it was way more than anyone else at the club though.
Hibs bid for Platt, Crewe asked for more, Hibs matched the new price, Crewe asked for more, Hibs matched the second new price........ after this happened a few times Hibs got fed up of Crewe messing them around and pulled out. Platt has said in his autobiography that he wouldn't have signed anyway as he didn't want to play in Scotland.

He was brilliant and I thought we had discovered a genius. To be fair he had a decent Hibs career but never lived up to the expectation after his debut . Always gave 100% and a nice guy.

I recall a certain game against Rangers where Evans ran a Basil Boli everytime he got the ball, Boli was sent off as he couldn't cope with the pace and Hibs went on to win 2-1.

Funny you refer to him as an "honest" player because that's how I often refer to him and think of him, mainly because he was an honest grafter. He was ahead of his time in his ability to "win" free-kicks and penalties, inviting contact and going down theatrically when it inevitably came. So not really that honest after all but I know what you mean.

My vague memory was of him being introduced as "Garet EEEEEvans" at Anderlecht when he came on as a sub, everyone cheered and fell about laughing
