Living near Hibs players, past and present

[Iceman1875]

Just a bit of fun, don't expect you to post your address

As the title says, anyone ever lived near a Hibs player? Any stories to share?

As a late teen, Nick Colgan lived in my hometown and would pick up KT for training in his Audi TT, loved that car at the time.

Not a Hibs player but I did stay next door to Tam McCòurt when we were wee laddies. I also lived opposite the Krankies when I lived in Guernsey. Fandabbydozey.

In my early teens Brian Welsh's mother was my next door neighbour until she passed away. Used to see him fairly regular and he gave some signed photos and things when he found out I was ST holder at ER.

[Franck Stanton]

Calum Milne lived near me in Mid Calder, often had a wee chat when bumped into him whilst I was walking the dog. Always had a good natter - good guy.

Decent player, He was massive as well, couldn't believe how tall he was. Then again I didn't hit 6ft until I was about 16.

[matty_f]

Willie Miller used to stay in my street.

I own a flat in Lochend, where the Sunblest bakery stood. When I lived there, Hibs owned a couple of flats in my stair. Various players lived there including Torben Joneleit and Danny Galbraith. Torben in particular was a great guy.

Not sure if the club still own the flats.

[hibee_girl]

Zemmama, Benji and Claros lived near me when they were here as did Ryan Mcgivern

There must be players around here just now as often seen Forster waiting in his car in the morning

Is that your way of saying Galbraith was a bit of a *unt? Or that they were both good guys, but Torben just had that extra sociable edge?

Dirk Lehman used to live just round the corner from me when he was at Hibs. Always had his living room curtains closed, wonder what he was up to?

Kevin Thomson was, and may still be, a regular in a sunbed place round the corner from my parents.

[Mark79]

I stayed in a certain council estate for a short time where Willie millers folks stayed a few doors away. He used to often visit them and have a kick about with us kids.

Where I live now is a semi detached house and I believe pat Stanton stayed in the house next door when they were new. Talk of many a party with Eric Stevens on and Co in attendance I believe.

[Iceman1875]

Would love to hear about Best, Sauzee, Latapy if anyone has got anything to share!

You must have lived near me, he was two doors down. Unfortunately he often partied a bit hard at the weekend for the rest of us in the block. Nice guy though.

[Mr White]

Ulrik Laursen rented a house a few doors down from me for a while after he first moved to hibs. Saw mixu going in to visit him a couple of times.

[grammyb111]

Andy Watson lived on my street and came to the odd party my folks threw, was a decent bloke. At the same time Alex McLeish lived round the corner while he was manager, after the 6-2 game we went to his house and laid a scarf outside, like a one scarf memorial to a dead player or something! Around that time Grant Brebner bought a house in the area too, though sold it really quickly, could've been about the time he was doing all the gambling so I guess it makes sense...

[Allant1981]

My aunt stays 2 doors away from liam fontaine

[MKHIBEE]

I lived in the same street as Eric Schaedler over 40 years ago, used to see him training on his own at the local junior club ground and he invited me to join him once.

I lived in Ochiltree Cresc at the time, he lived nearby in, I think Bishops park ? however walked dog along footpath rear Ochiltree, and down towards Peoples Garage area.

Edit - May not have been Bishops Park, but think it was close to Lizzie Brice garage - street on right as you go down hill towards Ochiltree.

[thebakerboy]

Andy Goram used to live nearby and used to drink in the same pub. My daughter couldnt believe it when one day walking along the street and a big hand landed on my shoulder and her then football hero said hello mate how you doing.
