Clayton Donaldson has had a decent career in England.

Colin Stein for Coventry via a Glasgow club.

in regards to Hearts players Alex Young, Dave McKay, Arthur Mann, Colin Cameron come to mind.

Sorry but Arthur Mann didn't really make it in England unless you count Notts County and Mansfield.

Manchester City paid big money for Mann but he never really established himself making only 40 appearances in three years.

Kenny Dalglish did ok down south.....😉
Ray Wilkins ?....does he count?

Your post got me thinking about the player links between Hibs and Newcastle.

The following players collectively made 2258 appearances for Hibs between them and scored 299 goals in the process. They all also played for Newcastle at some point with 999 appearances and 74 goals between them.

Ronnie Simpson

John Brownlie
John McNamee
John Blackley
Gary Caldwell

Ralph Callaghan
Darren Jackson
Tommy Craig
Michael O'Neil

John Connolly
Jim Scott

What other teams could you make a Hibs 11 out of ... Villa possibly?

What? No Alan O’ Brien?

Back in the day Bobby Johnstone. Scored in two cup finals for City. Just what would he have earned playing for City in this day and age. #Hibslegend

Had a look through this thread to see if Nicker was mentioned.-)

Yes ,Bobby was revered at Man City and also Oldham Athletic.


Some players from us over the years went down South and didn't set the heather on fire.


Bobby Johnstone certainly did !!




Edit


This below is an indication on the popularity of Bobby ,from an Oldham Athletic perspective

Either had a bar or one named after him in the main stand at Maine Road in the 80s

If you remember back to when Bobby Johnstone passed the Man City fans who came onto Hibs forums to pay condolences were top class, some cracking stories. Ditto when Joe Baker died. Their legends are indelible.

Have you seen the U Tube clip of the Scotland Hungary 1954 match.? Bobby scores of course.Another good one featuring Lawrie Reilly is the 1949 England/Scotland game.

Jimmy O’Rourke told the story at St Pat’s 2014 that he was down at the old Maine Road Ground Manchester City with the other HIBS players and they were on a tour of the Stadium and they were shown a couple of trophies and busts of their great players Joe Mercer and Don Revie

Wee Jimmy collared the Commissionaire and said “ Excuse me but where is your best ever player?”
The Commissionaire twigged the accent and said “ Ah you’ll mean Nicker follow me.” They walked around the corner into a big grand entrance area with a huge marble staircase and there half way up the staircase was a huge portrait of Bobby Johnstone

I'm not sure about 'made it' either (depending on the criteria) but he had a very good career in England, especially with Notts County who he played over 250 times for, many times alongside Don Masson. Saw him many, many times and he normally impressed. He was well loved and respected by Notts fans, whether playing midfield, left back or sweeper. The latter which I thought he was quite briliant at. A lovely guy, Arthur sadly died quite young in an industrial accident.

He scored for City in successive FA Cup Finals in 1955 and 1956. He was the first player to do that.

I went to a match at Maine Road in April 1997 for a match against Bolton Wanderers. Bobby Johnstone was introduced to the crowd to mark his departure from Manchester as he was returning to retire to the Scottish Borders.

Incidentally Mixu scored the equaliser for Bolton after Kinkladze had the opened for City. Bolton went on to win 2-1 and were promoted to the Premier League. Top marks to the Bolton fans for that match. They sang continually "We only hate Man United".

I once had a pint of Boddingtons in the ‘Bobby Johnstone’ kiosk at Maine Road. Half time v Gillingham. Made me feel so good that we had a stamp there, certainly a bit better than the pint did.
