My hero
‘I am A Hibernian supporter forever’
I didn’t know he’d become a football agent, he’ll certainly have lots of contacts across Europe.
I never knew he wore #35. Im fairly sure he was #19 and #17 as well. What the hell was going on with squad numbers in those days

I remember being in Brazil at the time (Praia do Forte near Salvador) and passing the only person there with a football top on (Hibs) to let him know we’d qualified for Europe. Surreal.
I also remember Amadou absolutely bricking it in a reserve team game against Celtic at ER think there was a decent crowd there - about 2k?! Bobo Balde was his opponent that day* and the thug basically sought to take him out of the game at every opportunity - in the air didn’t even bother going for the ball.
* that was the period where Balde was put out of the first team until he left so obv taking his frustrations out but to seem to deliberately imo injure a fellow professional demeaned him and his club.

Great read. Good contact for bringing young players in the future at ER if he continues to grow his role as an agent.

Outstanding as a sub in 2-1 win at Tynie after Simon Brown conceded a howler.
Pressley and Webster who always bullied our strikers couldn’t handle him that night.

Enjoyed that, didn't automatically spring to mind as someone who'd remain a fan, good luck to him.

Enjoyed that read.
Outside the obvious my most vivid memory of Konte is a shot at Pittodrie that almost cleared the Merkland Road Stand. It absolutely thundered of the big Ashvale chippy advertising sign on the roof.
I completely forgot he started that game against Celtic. He definitely changed the game that night V Hearts, Riordan was on a booking and had a couple of niggles so had to be hooked. Konte allowed us to go more direct and he roughed up their back line.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

Hibs won 1-0. Riordan with a pen - I think.

Looking at his career on wiki Hibs were the biggest club he played for. Another journeyman drifting around Europe that we seemed so keen on for a while.
