Derek Riordan: "Nah, she's blonde"

Blobby Williamson: If hibs fans expect entertainment on a Saturday, then they should go to the cinema"

John Collins: "The ball is round and it is meant to roll. You start at the back and play through the midfield, with lots of movements and other attributes like aggression, passion and commitment. Without those you don't become a good player and you don't have a good team."

Colin Calderwood: "‘If someone offers you two bags of sweets, you look in both before you choose’"

Terry Buther: "Sometimes maybe it's a good thing if you lose an early goal because it takes away the threat of conceding because you have conceded - and then we lose a second goal."

Pat Stanton: "When I was a lad aged 14, I went to train with Hibs. They were keen to sign me and after training one evening I was sent up to the boardroom to see the manager, Hugh Shaw, who had managed the Famous Five team. Mr Shaw said to me, 'did you enjoy training, Pat?' and I said, 'yes, I did.' He then said 'here' and handed me a 10 shilling note. I got the bus back home to Craigmillar and handed that note to my mother, who showed it to my dad, a proud Hibee. I thought nothing more of it.

"Many years later, when my father passed away, my mum handed me a folder of some of his collections – letters, football cards, other wee items – and then she said to me, 'do you know what this is?' Tucked away at the back was an old 10 shilling note. 'This is the same 10 shilling note you handed to us after you first trained with Hibs,' she said. 'That's what it meant to your dad.'
Hibs are my club.
