Who is the most "marmite" hibs player ever?

**we are hibs** · 08-03-2019 05:26 AM

Let's be honest; everyone is going to come on and say Lewis Stevenson. Some think he's the worst person ever and started the plague single handed. Others think he is Mr.hibs and single handedly won us both cups. I'm somewhere inbetween.

Another from recent years to chuck in is malonga. I loved the guy and thought his skill and technique was a class above anyone else at the time when he was at the top of his game. Although I get he was an incredibly frustrating player if he wasn't at it. Because he was very laid back people got the impression he wasn't arsed. Also that chance against hearts when we were 3 on 1 and he decided to shoot from 25 yards

Joe Tortolano. Loved the guy. One week he was Messi, the next week he couldve been amateur at best. You just didn’t know what you were going to get.

Great lad too, always played with a smile on his deface.

Tony Rougier for me. One week unplayable, the next anonymous.

***Carheenlea*** · 08-03-2019 06:13 AM

Brian Hamilton. Some would argue he was the key component in the midfield at the time but others would have him in worst of all time Hibs XI. Never any middle ground.

Definitely. Infuriating and took some healthy abuse for his "unseen work" but scored some incredible goals for us.

Slivka from the current squad was my pick too.

***The Spaceman*** · 08-03-2019 06:42 AM

Stevie Mallan also has to be up there for recent Hibs players! I rate him.

I really didn’t like him at first but something changed and he became one of my favourites

***hibee_girl*** · 08-03-2019 06:48 AM

Eoin Doyle was another one.

**Smartie** · 08-03-2019 06:52 AM

Kevin Thomson.

3 spells at the club, played for nothing, boyhood fan, bringing his kids up as Hibs fans.

Snakey Hun with a big mouth.

You decide.

Ian/Ihun Murray

Stood six foot four legs like tree trunks slower than a week in the jail brilliant close control best thing he ever done?.....hand the Holy Grail over to SDG.

Must have missed that game.

Heard he was brilliant in Training

Loved the guy too came in for a lot of stick

Always gave 100%

Whipped over a brilliant cross

Remember his tackle on Gordon Strachan in the first minute in a friendly versus Man Utd?

We have a winner

***ian cruise*** · 08-03-2019 07:14 AM

John Rankin has to be one. To some he was seriously underrated and a good player in a bad side, others he's always been a total huddy.

Also Fraser Fyvie, the debated when he left surely prove he's worthy of a, nomination.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 08-03-2019 07:16 AM

Jim Black, a decent player who tried his best, but if we'd had a George Stewart instead of him, i'm sure we'd have won the league with that team.

***Auckland Hibs*** · 08-03-2019 07:25 AM

Brian Hamilton all day long.

Utter mince IMO.

Does the hardwork/unseen graft.

Sold him to the Yams was my only good memory of him IIRC.

***Hibbyradge*** · 08-03-2019 07:26 AM

Ally "Benny" Brazil.

Benny took a lot of stick from large sections of the support although he was a regular starter for years.

His "bohemian" looks stood him out from other players and, as s result, any errors he did make were always spotted and attributed to him.

However, he played under 5 managers and he could accurately aim a slide tackle from one side of the pitch to the other.

He's definitely the one player who I liked one week, but who would frustrate the life out of me the next.

Player Joe Mcbride jnr

Moreso Alan Stubbs I would say. I think once everyone's calmed down a bit, there won't be many that'll say that NL was a bad manager, whereas Stubbs still gets stick for not getting us promoted.

Some people like Marmite ...

***ian cruise*** · 08-03-2019 07:34 AM

Just reading the A-League thread and Jamie Maclaren came up, another contender. I'd definitely have him back next season as his form was bad at the same time most of our team were struggling. For me he showed what a player he can be last season and I'm sure he could recapture that form.

Others thought he was, well I'll leave that up to Speedway to describe.

Ally Mcleoud laid back and lazy never tackled, but in the same game he would score a hattrick by placing the ball effortless into the top corner of the net from 30yards.
