Used to love the way he juggled the ball in the warm up. Those were good days standing at the centre line on the east terrace. Trays full of sweets and juice brought roundctge track. Big crowds and every song started in the stand opposite.

If I'm not much mistaken him (plus 1 other whose name I'm shamefully forgotten) were the guests of honour at a London Hibs Burns night I once attended a few years back.
I'd done some reading up on him beforehand and was absolutely astonished to hear of the games he'd played in so ended up gawping like a fool when I got the chance to meet him. Signed my t-shirt from the night which I've still got at home.
And then met Mickey Weir. And I had a coupon come up earlier that day.
What a day that was

Loved story about how he didn't turn up for Ayr game but went to Hampden to watch Hibs beat Celtic 2-1 in League cup final. Jock Stein spotted him and told Ally McLeod who fined him 2 weeks wages but Stoc says it was worth every penny.

Eric seemed to have such perfect balance that even a defender breathing on him seemed to make him fall over in the penalty box !

Brilliant player
Always a bit nervous opening threads named after past players

Very skilful player who was effective in almost every match such was the level of his consistency. Wingers tend to be prone to spells of inconsistency but not Eric he was a great player and a real fans favourite.

Just a few years before my time attending ER when Eric put away his boots. Believe he was a great servant to us according to those who seen him and I hope his book is a good seller. A good Christmas present.

I remember us playing the Dons in the old league cup (sections) in August 1970. We were 4-0 to the good after about 20 minutes. Eric was sensational that night. Great player so going down to get the book tomorrow.

He could have gone to the top I reckon. Bit slow perhaps. What a combo with Davis for the pens!
They used to shout "come on the rebel" from the terrace.

It was funny speaking to him recently at the Morton game (where I was fortunate enough to be given hospitality)about the difference between the style of play then ..all guns blazing,down the flanks,hit the bye line cross to far post ...and now with all this back and forwards across the back 4 p*sh.
Ah the old days...

Rebel was one of my earliest heroes who should have been capped but didn't play for the old firm. A great player and I'm looking forward to reading his book
This is how it feels

It was a long time ago but I'm sure Hearts dumped Eric .Can not understand why . He was a class act that no fullback enjoyed playing against

He was indeed our Guest of Honour at a Burns Night and IIRC it may have been Alex Cropley that was the other guest that evening. Actually, the more I think about it it may not have been Crops. For some unbeknown reason, anything after 8pm at these events slips from memory.
BTW - if you're still on the London Hibs mailing list, we are going to offer the book to members at a reduced rate.

What a player he was, such great close ball control..at times it looked like the ball was glued to his foot..he won so many penalties for us as no-one could get the ball off him .
I do hope he does not trip when launching his book!!!!!

I remember Eric playing in a cup tie at Easter Road on a Wednesday night, a cross came in from the right and he dived to head it, missed it but brought his heal up and back healed it into the top corner!!!
This is one of the best goals I've ever seen scored at Easter Road.
