I always thought Geebsie was a cracking player, and Willie Miller on the right was good too.
Proper defenders, who could defend.

Solid as a rock he would run through a brick wall for the cause
His game was all about athleticism speed power and pace
Not blessed with a lot of skill he would play to his strengths using his power and pace to beat a man
The 0-7 game sums up Erich Schaedler to a tee his amazing long throw for Jimmy ORourkes first goal and his powerful crunching tackle for the seventh rattling the Hearts players body like a xylophone the sheer power and pace of the challenge carrying the momentum of the ball through to Arthur Duncan who looked up picked out the graceful and immaculate Alan Gordon whose flicked but powerful header hit the inside of the far away post rolled along the line hit the inside of the near post and in 7-0
So good we signed him twice
He would go the gym long before going to the gym was fashionable
I had the pleasure of meeting Erich Schaedler once and I have to admit he is probably one of the nicest human beings I have ever had the pleasure of meeting
RIP

Aside from heading cup winning goals, my favourite thing about SDG is the way he knows exactly the right moment in a match to absolutely smash someone to get the crowd and the team going. It's a skill.

The SFA at that time had a complicated points system and was not suited to a player of Alex Edwards nature who was volatile and always on a short fuse
Opponents realised this and worked it to their advantage and would always target him for special treatment and wynd him up
There was a feeling at that time that the SFA and many referees in particular did not like HIBS be it the club Tom Hart or Eddie Turnbull

It is a virtually impossible exercise when you try to compare two players from different eras. I saw John Brownlie and loved him as much as I love SDG.
What we know about Sir David is that he is an outstanding attacking and defensive right back, an inspiring leader, as brave as can be and the man that won us the Scottish Cup.

Don't get me wrong, I could make a case for quite a few from that era. Shades usually comes to the top the more I dwell on it, Stanton was my hero and Jimmy O was the Mr Hibs of the day.....
