If you could have any player in history play for Hibs in his prime, who would it be?

***Northernhibee*** · 02-08-2019 07:31 PM

Based on this season's team, which player would you add from history to add to this team?

I'd probably add Dennis Bergkamp. The thought of him playing off passes from Scotty Allan and Stevie Mallan is just the stuff footballing dreams are made of.

Patrick Gordon Stanton

If it's past history I'd see if I could find a place for Ronaldenhio 😁

Having seen King Paddy in that era I concur.

I'd find a place for George Best though.

Socrates, imagine him conducting the midfield then going out on the lash every weekend......

Joe Baker. Capped for England at. 18 whilst at Hibs. Took them 40 years to cap another player whose debut for England was by a player who did not play in any English team.

Gordon?? that's the worst spelling of god ever

***weecounty hibby*** · 02-08-2019 07:59 PM

Any Hibs player - Gordon Smith. Heard so many stories about him that I would love to have seen if they were true
Any player - Diego Armando Maradona. Genius who single handedly won a league for Napoli and a world cup for Argentina

Absolutely... an extra fiver a week would have kept him at ER, Scandalous....having said that my pick would be wee Mickey Edwards ...total genius in my eyes

Naw that’s Alan Gordon but King Paddy was slightly better

The poster that said George Best at his height had a valid point

**~~My_Wife_Camille~~** · 02-08-2019 08:00 PM

Messi 2012

**Tyler Durden** · 02-08-2019 08:01 PM

Ronaldo (Brazilian) in his Barcelona prime.

**marinello59** · 02-08-2019 08:11 PM

Best and Baker are great shouts. I’ll go with a player who never wore our shirt though.
This team needs a striker so for me it would have to be Denis Law.

**sauzee=legend** · 02-08-2019 08:12 PM

Conrad Logan.....

**Cocaine&Caviar** · 02-08-2019 08:12 PM

John McGinn 2019

**yonder1875** · 02-08-2019 08:13 PM

Lionel Messi, the best player of all time playing for the best club of all time.

**Pretty Boy** · 02-08-2019 08:15 PM

For players I really recall watching it would be Ronaldo from his time at Barcelona, for that season he was practically unplayable. Had he stayed fit there would be no contest who the greatest player ever was, even with knees that were shot to pieces he lit up the 2002 WC.

**~~southsider~~** · 02-08-2019 08:16 PM

Ronaldiniho There is s clip on u tube where he does keepie upie and gets 33 BLINDFOLDED. Amazing

**DH1875** · 02-08-2019 08:16 PM

Ronaldo, either of them to be fare. Best or Le God in their prime would have been amazing though. Oh aye and erm...........Maradona as well I suppose.

Although he's wrong about Messi, I think you've picked him up wrong

.

**Onceinawhile** · 02-08-2019 08:27 PM

Gabriel batistuta. Would be perfect striker for our current system.

Up there with Messi as the best player I have seen play football

***jacomo*** · 02-08-2019 09:01 PM

With Squirrel out, gotta be Messi to play on the right.

But the player I think would bring it all together would be peak Viera. Our midfield would dominate everyone.
