Pat McGinlay

[bigwheel]

Apparently it's Pat's 49th birthday today ...made me think about how top quality a player he was for us

As good a box to box goal scoring midfielder as I can think of for us ...

Anyone agree?

Happy birthday Pat !

Imagine Hibs buying Celtic's top scorer, cause that's what happened when we bought Pat back.

Pat Mark 1 was ace. The one that came back from Celtc just wasn't the same. Having said that, I think if his shot that clipped the post at Ibrox just after Leighton had saved Andy ****er's penalty had gone in it would've shaved 21 years off THE WAIT.

[KeithTheHibby]

Never seen his likes since he left. A regular goal-scoring midfielder.

[pennyhibee]

All the best Pat .Remember you hammering the ball out the park in Skol cup final ,that's how I realised it was full time .Top guy ,bit like the Liam Henderson story ,happier at Hibs

[SkintHibby]

Pat coaches my son in the wild west but I've not seen him for a few months now. I asked one of the other coaches on the team where he's been and he said his mum is not well.

Spoke to Pat a few times and he said he loved his playing days at the Hibs.

Without doing any checking its probably the only time a midfield player has achieved that feat. (Never came through the ranks and was seemingly never really accepted as one of them).

They were a poor team at the time Celtic however doesn't overshadow Pat's goals that season.

[Stevie Reid]

Scored over 100 goals in his career, some feat for a midfielder who spent the vast majority of his time in the top league.

[Cabbage East]

One of my favourite ever Hibs players.

I think he did all right for them (and was a big Celtc fan) but he didn't get on with Tommy Burns.

[The Harp]

Pat is/was one of my all-time favourite Hibs players and a tremendous servant of the club.
Hope life's treating you well Pat. Thanks for the memories. If it is your birthday, have a good one

[Peevemor]

He was greeting his eyes out at the end of the match at Tynie (last game of the season) which was his last game for Hibs. He seemed far more emotional than Yogi who was in the same boat.

[Smartie]

He'd get about 20 goals a season in the current team.

Rather than a striker, it's his late arrivals that would treble the number of assists that Lewis gets.

Great player. Mainly remembered for his goalscoring but he was a superb all-rounder who could win a header and do the ugly stuff as well.

I don't think anyones arguing otherwise.

Here's Pat scoring from the centre circle (I think the week after Chic Charnley had scored from even further back in a non-televised game). Amazing how good that team looked for about 3 weeks.

Bizarre video, mixing Hibs from the TTs to Paul Tosh, sublime and ridiculous all in there!

Slightly against the trend here. I always thought McGinlay was a good player, and he scored some good goals as well (particularly the one from behind the half way line), but he was also lazy. I remember watching a game when I was standing on the east terracing and this woman who was standing about 3 steps down from me was shouting at McGinlay- " Mcginlay, Get yer arse in gear!". She was really good-looking as well. Later on one of my mates pointed out that it was his wife!

Hahahaha, he coaches my nephew there!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Lazy? I think you'll be in a tiny minority with that viewpoint.

O dear! I'll tell you what I wouldn't mind a MF player as lazy as Pat McG one that scores 20 goals a season!!

[makaveli1875]

Chico scored the week before against Alloa in the League Cup. He hit it from the Hibs half, near the centre circle.

Hahaha, I knew there could only be one moaning-faced Hibee in Bathgate!

[southern hibby]

Spoke to Pat's wife at Dundee Utd when he came back to us. She was absoloutrly down to earth and a good laugh. She said why Pat came back and not going to go into it except that it was Pat that asked Celtic to allow him to leave and they reluctantly said yes and all because of a packet of peanuts.


GGTTH

If he was playing now he'd be in the Scotland team.

He's a Scottish Lampard I'd say and I only really watched him regularly in his 2nd spell at Hibs. He was also the main focal point for the boo boys once Michael Renwick left which I found absurd.

Great player with a smile like a Murrayfield Racer :D

[Captain Trips]

One of the best IMO.

[gogsy23]

My fav player growing up. I mind just after he re-signed we played them at hampden as darkheid was being developed we were in the purple and green striped top and he scored a double on the way to a 3-2 victory. Great player and would walk into evrey team since then.
