Just reading a twitter thread about the commemoration of Walter Tull by Rangers fans and noting that Hearts signed Leith born John Walker in 1898. I wonder who the first non-white player for Hibs would have been.
Anyone know?

Maybe Ricky Hill in the 1970s ?

The same Ricky Hill that went on to star for Luton Town. Remember him well but never knew he signed for Hibs?
EDIT Just checked he was a trialist so he never actually did.

"freezing cold" And this dude is interduced to the Hibs fan's at half-time.
He looked like the Michelin man wrapped up in bout three layer's off clothing,no wonder he piss off home.😆

I don't know who would be the first coloured player to play for Hibs but Gil Heron was the first to play for Celtic. He was the father of musician Gil Scott Heron.

He worked in vehicle insurance claims .
I lived there for a few years in late 90s .
Didn’t want to talk about Hibs when I had to see him after I had my motorbike stolen .-;)
Was a very good cricketer too.
Sean Goater - Man City was probably Bermuda’s most successful player .

As for his son, what a musician, one of the best gigs I've ever been too when he played the queens hall way back in the 90s!
