I'm with you 100%. I too grew up watching the Tornadoes and took it for granted that we would always have such talent at our disposal.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I recall also a young Des Bremner breaking through during the early 70's and even he struggled to get regular game time such was the quality of players he was up against.
Young Hibbies probably think we old uns are exaggerating the quality of the side that Eddie Turnbull assembled.

As you say a very talented side although strangely enough the full backs settled in before Eddie arrived.

Eddie Turnbull added Herriot, Gordon and Edwards.
He also added Des Bremner from Deveronvale who took John Brownlie’s place on the day the music died - a future European Cup Winner.
Bobby Smith and Iain Munro were decent as well.
Difficult to explain to younger posters exactly how good that side was - should have won more - but probably best summed when a poster responded to my many rants last season when he said “ let’s
face it the Tornadoes ain’t coming back! “

We have solid full backs, would still like an upgrade on McGinn but in this climate I can’t see it. It’s brilliant Doig is getting a chance and you can see the hunger from Lewis when he came on as he’s a challenge now.
We’ve had worse but we’ve had better.

We'll be all right. Our full backs are never going to be Maldini and Cafu; it's Hibs. Let's see how we go; perhaps we'll see a new signing.

I liked the look of the killie full back Mullin (I think his name was) got forward very well and delivered some excellent crosses. I think McGinn is sturdy and a good pro but in games at Easter Road where we should dominate the ball more I would like to see someone with a bit more attacking threat.

I feel dirty just by adding to this ludicrous thread but Bobby Duncan, Willie Miller, Graeme Mitchell, Alan Sneddon etc etc were all good quality professionals doing a fine job for the team. Not everyone can be a John Brownlie.

I was impressed with McGinn on Saturday. Did all the basics really well and won a good tackle to set up the 2nd goal. Doig is young but appears to have bags of talent. I just hope he gets a run of games to properly settle into the team.
