Hibs Talismen through the years…

Griffiths that season under Fenlon where he pretty much carried the whole club on his back

I'd have to say Leigh Griffiths would be considered a talisman when he played for us. Given how many important goals he scored for us.
One thing we'd all love in this current side is a true out and out talisman.
For me I'd love a Brewster type experienced hold up man who could score goals that had a rapport with the fans. That would help bring on and develop our younger forward players.Last edited by Allez Hibs; 14-09-2021 at 09:03 AM.

I'd include Jim Leighton alongside Darren Jackson. Both stars in a sometimes average team.

My own talisman Chambers Dictionary has the word talisman as "an object indued with magical powers". I can only think of George Best in this regard.

I remember Scott Allan getting close to talisman levels in Stubbs' first season (14/15). He got lots of assists and was the focal point of almost every forward thinking move. Opposition teams tried to man mark him because he was widely considered our best player. I think that's why Rangers tried so hard to pinch him in the summer of 2015. They saw him as the biggest threat to their promotion.
Boyle is probably the closest thing to one we have now. He's our out ball and sets the tone more often than not.

Boyle is the closest we have to a talisman just now.

Certainly we've had some very good representatives of our club over the last few years. Whether we call them talismen or not.

Jimmy O'Rourke when he used to come on with 2 minutes left, score the winner and walk off with not a spot on his strip while everyone else was splattered. . And just Jimmy O'Rourke in general. When he was on song you could see the opposition wilting as he was unstoppable.
