First post for a while on here, but I had a friend over here in Auckland (a local football journalist) ask me for some help. Apparently Arthur Duncan moved here a few years ago to be with family and my mate would love to interview him about his time at Hibs and about the derbies he's played in. End of the day if he would prefer his privacy that's fine, but if anybody could help it would be nice to hear from a bit of a Hibs legend in our local press!

Kiaora Hibs NZ ! I just moved over here (Mairangi Bay) from Melbourne (come to think of it I will need to change my details !) hopefully for good. I was brought up in Glasgow in the 60s and 70s (not easy when you were a Hibby and a big one at that) but thankfully my old man was a Hibby and he took me to see the TTs for many years until he got bored - I never did and became more than a fanatic. I don't really have any heroes or favourites from the TTs in the early 70s - they were all my heroes and favourites but AD had something in his personality that made you feel as if he was a real decent guy and someone you would like to know (hasten to add I will not be a stalker of his over here !!). If you can trace him and he would be willing to meet up with more than one Hibby - a Weegie at that - then I would be chuffed to bits but more honoured than anything else ! Just knowing that he is in this wonderful country of ours makes me feel good ! Originally Posted by HibsNZ

This must have been relatively recently, i.e. in the last couple of years. He used to live along from my parents in Breich, West Lothian. He was a chiropodist as well after he left football.

26-01-2016 09:24 AM #8I think he moved a while ago. I was at the inaugural Hibs Hall of Fame dinner in 2010 IIRC & Arthur couldn't attend as he had already moved away. Originally Posted by ekhibee

I am secretary of the HFPA ( Hibernian Former Players Association) and we lost contact with Flyer after his move to NZ. We still have his Hall of Fame trophy and would love to get it to him. If anyone can find his details please let me know. Not sure if he is still working as a chiropodist.

I am actually one of Arthur's Grandkids here in New Zealand. I'm really close with him. I'm sure he'd be happy to take part in an interview - he's such a humble guy!

He was a fantastic player who always played with a big smile on his face, and was one of my favourite players when I was a nipper watching our great Turnbull's Tornadoes.
A great player in a great team 👍🇳🇬

Best wishes to Arthur, he was a schoolboy hero of mine, great player in that fantastic tornadoes team. A thing I always remember at Easter Road, at half time in games, Arthur always had a shower, would come out early before the other players and happily chat with the Hibs fans on the terracing, hair soaking wet!..should have had more caps for Scotland, a great servant for Hibs, but we won't mention his cup winning goal in a hibs jersey!

Such a great player. Was so pleased when he signed from Partick Thistle. What a great servant he proved to be. Wonderful player and who can forget that great strike from the left that emptied hahahahahearts from the cup at Tynecastle Originally Posted by bod
