Iconic player in that iconic strip, great memories from my earlier years at ER.

That move leading to that volley against Motherwell is my lasting memory of him in a Hibs shirt, classy player with fabulous technique.

**Glory Lurker** · 12-06-2016 01:38 PM

Loved him. Couldn't always be sure what you'd get, but when he was alight he was great to watch. Good luck to him in France.

**Pretty Boy** · 12-06-2016 01:48 PM

When he was on song and in the mood he was close to unplayable.

Do I remember correctly that he got sent off in a derby at Tynecastle once?

**Billie Jo** · 12-06-2016 01:48 PM

Good luck to Michael O'Neill, always loved that guy

**Lago** · 12-06-2016 01:50 PM

Loved him as a player for Hibs, elegance personified.

He got sent off against them then booted the fire extinguisher in the tunnel, can't remember if it was at Easter Road or bus shelter though

Good luck Micheal. One of my favourite Hibs players and a decent bloke as well

***judas*** · 12-06-2016 02:05 PM

Liked oneil.

But hope NI get pumped - and their fans get the early train home.

***easty*** · 12-06-2016 02:28 PM

He is one of my favourite Hibs players.

I'm firmly in the anyone but England camp. Don't really care who wins the tournament, but I'd like Michael O'Neill to do well.

When I first read this i thought " What the f***", then the penny dropped. Duh how slow am I. Have to agree with your sentiment though.

Loved Mikey at Hibs. Sure he set up two goals against Hearts when the behind the goals stands where getting made.

**Big_Franck** · 12-06-2016 02:38 PM

He was one of my favourite players when I was at Primary school. I hope he does well with Northern Ireland. I think they might get a point today.

He scored one that game. Harper with the winner.

Did Barry Lavety not get the first?

I might be wrong because I think Kevin Harper scored a winner in another derby.

I remember Harper scoring 3 brilliant goals against Hearts, same against Celtc and 2, I think, against the old huns. Don't think he got too many goals in his Hibs career (mostly from right wing) but seemed to save them for the bigger games.

Had a touch of the Ivan Sproule about him. Total scenes when he got the winner against the rover drivers...

**Glory Lurker** · 12-06-2016 03:21 PM

I think you're talking about the 3-1 game at the end of the 94/95 season? Still can't believe I managed to miss that game.

**jodjam** · 12-06-2016 03:30 PM

Done my early touches SFA badge with him. Now in a pub getting drunk whilst his coaching career moves a bit faster than mine

The one that got away mate

***J-C*** · 12-06-2016 05:06 PM

Top player and a really nice guy too, he was a regular at my gym when he was working in the financial industry, used to tell me he was thinking about getting back into football and I kept hinting about doing it at Hibs, seemingly close to getting the job before Fenlon was appointed, personally think we got the wrong Irishman.

***cabbageandribs1875*** · 12-06-2016 08:09 PM

was listening to a very good interview with him on sportsound yesterday, then came the part about his attempt to get the hibs job when PF got it, they couldn't name names but apparently a 'friend' of PF's had 'tipped' hibs off about him(MO'n) having a problem with the bevy, and also someone in this country saying the same, both turned out wrong, sounds a bit slanderous

***Mr White*** · 12-06-2016 08:15 PM

He got the NI job a month after Fenlon arrived at easter road. You've got to wonder how things might have panned out...

That was mentioned on here.

Left field boy, if I'm not mistaken.

Probably nonsense but story I heard was that Levein put in a "bad word" about MoN to the Hibs board

think it was indeed mentioned on the PM forum here

**NAE NOOKIE** · 12-06-2016 10:05 PM

Saw an interview with him today on ITV? BBC? cant remember ...... anyway, he was talking about playing at Newcastle with Gazza and said that after that his career went downhill .... sorry, but anybody who can add playing for the mighty Hibees as being part of a downhill career path loses several notches on the old respectometer.

Sorry Mike but

**JOD** · 13-06-2016 12:44 AM

Wish him all the best. He obviously forgot the words to NI national anthem. Good Man lol

***Baader*** · 13-06-2016 01:11 AM

Chatted to him once when he was playing for us. In Finnegans on Victoria St. A real gent. Hope he gets NI through. A decent job awaits regardless.

He has spoken about the drink problem nonsense someone branded around ER when he was in contention for the Hibs job. Well out of order whoever that was. Couldn't have Hibs as a concern as he'd have been a great appointment.
