Looked quality on his day. Was a strange signing though, given the arrival of De La Cruz the same summer. When McLeish tried to play them both, they often both made the same runs and occupied the same areas.

Was at the Rangers game when he had his seizure as well, was really scary.

Was a better player in midfield

I remember him being good before the first seizure but awful after. It seemed to really destroy him, whether it was just a mental thing I'm not sure.

Good solid player and that goal! very difficult for a top sportsman to contend with an illness such as he had.

Orman was a strange one. Looked a player at times but he came into a side that had already started to lose it's way. In the preceding season we only won 3 games between January and May. We started the next season winning only 1 of our first 5 in the league, we won 4 of our next 6 then went 18 without a win in the league.

After the great promotion season, sticky start aside, and the explosive start to the next season we went downhill very quickly and that can't have been an easy environment to come into. I thought he looked decent when played in midfield by Mowbray and he got a great reception when he scored in a win v Dundee Utd at Tannadice. Strangely I can recall him under McLeish, Sauzee and Mowbray but my memory of him under Williamson is a total blank.

I thought he looked like the more effective player at the beginning of that season compared to De la Cruz. He got shunted around right back, right wing back, right wing and midfield to accommodate.

IIRC, his first seizure was covered up which was fair enough but I think as a result people weren’t understanding when his form dipped as a result.

Some fans ridiculed him towards the end for not being good enough yet he was playing in the Champions League group stages against Arsenal a year or so later.

I seem to remember a midweek - probably league cup tie, cant remember who against - where he played right winger of a front 3 and some of the crosses he fired into the box were top notch in terms of quality , usual Hibs there was nobody on the end

Just like Super Joe Tortolano ???

Still looked like he keeps himself in pretty good shape when turning out at Spartans last week for Garry O's match.

Scary witnessing his seizure that night v the Huns - the 'Shakin' Stevens' crack of the time being another one of the many reasons I turn Tam Cowan off when I hear his bowff.
