    I would struggle with four. What made me love Hibs was that amazing strip running out of the tunnel at ER for the first time as a four year old, they just looked totally magical. As for favourite players, Ally McLeod, John Collins, Franck Sauzee, John McGinn probably spring to mind instantly.

    After a horrible period in our history I really fell back in love with Hibs under Stubbs. Felt like I got my club back. My four are..

    Malonga
    Allan
    Gray

    Then latterly McGinn.

    The game it really hit home was the cup game against undefeated Aberdeen when we tore them up. That was the first time in a long long time I gave them a standing ovation at the end and i admit to having a wee lump in the throat. Hibs were back.

    One of the things I hate most about modern football is the 2 teams walking out together and all that hand shaking pish.

    Call me an old romantic but I loved the away team running out to pantomime boos then a minute later Hibs emerging. As you say seeing the strips for the 1st time on match day is almost magical.

    😁 i remember years agobeing at dens park for dundee v raith. Never heard a home crowd boo their team BEFORE the game started!!
    The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits

    The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game

    Boozy might be one of the most underrated players ive seen at hibs. I remember a game at easter road against celtic he was superb and ripped the pish out of Lennon. Between 2005-2007 what a selection of players we had.

    Whittaker
    Jones
    Hogg
    Caldwell
    Murphy
    Sproule
    Shiels
    Stewart
    Boozy
    Brown
    Thomson
    Zemmama
    Benji
    O'connor
    Riordan
    Fletcher
    Killen



    Superb
    Wasn’t that the game he played sweeper? Also played sweeper against Rangers and he was excellent

    Never ever out of love with Hibs. Periods where I hoped they'd be better and the occasional huff but thats as far as it goes. I'm the same with my children.

    Was the game v Rangers the 3-3 draw at ER? If so, I'm sure Collins went to a 3-5-2 formation with Boozy sweeping. He was superb, and thought it looked like he'd have a future playing at the back but don't remember it being repeated for some reason. That was a great game btw, McCann & Whittaker both scored great goals and we should have won.

    I realise I'm contributing to a thread hijack, but as another poster said I've never fallen out of love with Hibs - just had wee spells when I went in the cream puff!

    Spot on - you might also have mentioned the referee picking up the match ball from a podium as he leads the players out. Pass the sickbag.

    Back on topic, and none of my four choices would get in my best XI - not because they weren't good but because there are better options - but they are all players I just loved watching.

    John Blackley - my fav when I was a wee laddie, super cool (JB, not me )
    Keith Wright - lovely fellah, living the dream playing in the green
    John Burridge - daft as a brush, but for those stretching exercises alone gets my nod
    Ivan Sproule - landed on his feet at Hibs, and you could just tell he loved every minute

    Pat McGinlay - 100% in arguably the most influential position in the team.
    David Murphy - so much class for a left back you should bottle it.
    Sir David Gray - he made the impossible possible.
    Frank Sauzee - name a player that gave four teeth for the cause.
