Loved Archibald. Easily one of the best I've seen in green and white. As others rightly say, a class act and his footballing brain was on another level to most.
He's also good on Twitter, engages with fans and talks about his fond memories playing for us quite often...

If enough people say it it's like to be true - Knew he had a pedigree but I also didn't have any idea how good he was until I saw him actually playing at ER.
It's an odd thing trying to work out why a player like that is so good because so much of what he did was unfussed - he just knew where to be & when, & where
everyone was around him.
Just a great player.

Guy was a class act. Never forget his winner at Tynecastle. I have photos of the shot and his celebration framed and signed by the man himself. Imagine us bringing in a player of that quality and reputation nowadays, just wouldn’t happen.

When he left, it scunnered me as a kid. He instantly became my favourite player when he signed.

Singing in the rain at Tynie after that goal scored by Archie the Jinx Buster (anyone got the Hibs Monthly front page with him arms aloft?)

His goal against Hearts at Tiny Park was unbelievable and when it hit the net the place went nuts.
That evening is the drunkest I have every seen my dad. Me, my 2 brothers and 4 mates celebrated with him until the following day!

He always looked like he had space and time on the ball. His control of the ball was second to none. An arrogant bugger of a man who’d turn up to matches on his own driving a brown Rolls Royce if memory serves but what a player he was.
The type you don’t mind paying to watch unlike some of the pretenders who masquerade as footballers nowadays!

It might be difficult for the younger generation to understand the scale of the Archibald signing at the time. He was a player who was a very clever footballer, not your 30 goals a season player like Harry Kane, but still a very good striker.
He was very effective at Aberdeen, before an £800k move to Spurs, where he finished the top scorer in the First Division (now Premier League) and won the FA Cup in his first season there. He won a second FA Cup in 1982 and then the UEFA Cup in 1984, where he scored his penalty in the final as Spurs overcame Anderlecht in a shootout.
In 1984, he joined Barcelona for £1,150,000, where in his first season he helped them win the La Liga title for the first time in 11 years. He then helped Barça reach the European Cup final in 1986, only to lose on penalty kicks to Steaua Bucharest. He was a popular figure at the Camp Nou until restrictions on fielding foreign players led to him being excluded from the squad in favour of Gary Lineker and Mark Hughes. After a spell loaned out to Blackburn Rovers he returned to Scotland in 1988 to sign for Hibernian.
Think of it, playing a central role in the final of the major European trophy and then signed for Hibs two years later. He was an exceptional talent, albeit 32 when he joined us and his career was obviously on the way down.

I know the game you mean though best performance I have ever seen from a goalkeeper
Andy Goram was totally outstanding on a stormy windswept night at Love Street
Steve Archibald played his part in holding up the ball and retaining possession as the Saintees pumelled us
