Phone calls from Hibs players to Seniors

***Seveno*** · 30-03-2020 10:59 AM

As a Senior ST holder, I have just received a phone call from Daryl Horgan 'checking up on how I was doing'. What a nice guy he was and spent 20 minutes chatting. He was really easy to talk to and spoke quite openly about things.

It gave me quite a boost and I feel like a wee boy that got his first autograph from a footballer.

Thank you, Daryl, and thanks to Hibs.

That's a brilliant thing to do. Did you ask him about tracking back? It is allowed 😁

**Sir David Gray** · 30-03-2020 11:04 AM

Brilliant engagement from the club.

***H18 SFR*** · 30-03-2020 11:05 AM

I’d love to listen to the call you had, better than any podcast I’d bet.

As I am not the self styled 'resident moaning git', I told him how much I enjoyed his goal at Tynecastle.

Great to hear.

I’m away to change my age on the Hibs database in the hope I get a wee call later on 😂

***Brightside*** · 30-03-2020 11:33 AM

I hope you told him to knock the fags on the head.

A bit harsh on the rest of the squad. Not too sure you’re allowed to refer to them by that adjective these days either 😉

This is great to hear, wonderful engagement from the club. Daryl is a good guy by all accounts.

***Seveno*** · 30-03-2020 12:05 PM

It would be really good if more people took the opportunity of this thread to congratulate the Club on this initiative rather than as a forum for what the consider to be humour.

I got a real lift from the call and some people have taken the shine off it for me.

I got one last week and I know what you mean

I think folk are either jealous or bored that are making jokes, TBH

My Grandad got a phone call from Sean McPartlin this morning.

We saw Sean during the last .net visit to HTC and were really impressed with him so my Grandad was pretty happy to get a phone call 👍🏻

It's a great thing for the club to be doing. I'm sure it's good for the players as well. A classic win win situation.

Don't think anyone meant anything by injecting a bit of humour to the thread, so I'm sorry if it has affected the feel good factor for you.
I'm looking forward to getting a call from a member of the squad, it's another fine initiative by the club.
Thanks for starting the thread to let us know about it.

I got a call from Colin Miller. Towards the end he “apologised” for it not being from a player, he thought of pretending he was Paul McGinn!

It was the fact that the Club have taken on this initiative that matters of course, weareallhibs in action
😀 👍 👏

Great stuff from the club, impressed

Just had a call from a very pleasant young lady, Alex, who is a physio with the club, normally based at HTC looking after the youngsters and development players.

Nice chat. Great initiative. Well done Hibs.

***Northernhibee*** · 30-03-2020 01:19 PM

Really good to see that we're looking out for each other.

***matty_f*** · 30-03-2020 03:31 PM

That’s brilliant!

**heretoday** · 30-03-2020 03:35 PM

Is Kamberi officially a Hibs player? Knowing my luck I'll get him.
Mind you I've a few things to say to him. Oh yes.

**Man Down Under** · 30-03-2020 03:39 PM

Class that they are doing this, makes you wonder why clubs don't to this sort of thing more often, so simple but makes a huge impact for the fans.

It's always been his dream to work in a call centre, apparently.

Great stuff from the club here.

Just had a call from Marc McNulty asking how my daughter was (Ailish was born 16 weeks early and is still on 24 hour oxygen support for Chronic Lung Disease) and had a good chat for 15 minutes or so.

Quite touched.

Wonderful post Seveno and thanks for sharing.

It’s brilliant to hear the club are doing this, and it’s clearly making a difference to brighten up the day of people getting the calls.

We are - as they say - all Hibs

One of my pals was called by Adam Bogdan. Hope I get a call too

This sounds like a very well received initiative by our club, well done to all involved.

Im guessing it'll be over 65s that get these calls ?
