With Whittaker there were no excuses. He never once bad mouthed the club when he left, the time was right and he made us a wad of cash which set us up well. Came back and performed well for us after having an outstanding career both along the M8 and down south. Very quiet down to earth guy who never even played in the Rangers’ hands when he was there, just got on with his job.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Would love for his coaching career to take off and Hibs to find a place for him.

He put in one of the finest displays from any Hibs player at Hampden I've ever witnessed when you had a hand in every goal in that 5-1 mauling of Killie.
All the best Whitty I hope you have a long and fruitful career and one day make it back to ER

I think it speaks volumes for the man that he was able to leave us for Rangers yet still have us hold him in the highest regard.
Brilliant player for us (hugely under appreciated during his second spell imo) and always conducted himself with dignity.
He's one of the people you always want to see return one day.

I did think there was a spell when he could have played better, but I'm pretty sure that was down to not being fully fit. I'm pretty sure the match below came after this spell of not playing as well. Unfortunately, the clip misses his skill in stopping a Celtic attack and then creating space to start the move that eventually results in a Hibs goal.

He will always be remembered at a great player in my eyes, one of the few who have won a cup whilst at Hibs.

Brilliant player.
We made good money from him.
He returned and gave us 100%
Always acted with dignity and never been in any bother.
Hibs class

Top quality player who served Hibs well,and wish him all the best for the future.
Was impressed with his honesty when he was with the currant buns when they were on the brink of free fall down the leagues.
Instead of trying to ingratiate himself (like other players there at the time) with their knuckledragging fans,he said at his age (think he was 28 at the time) there was no way he was going down the lower leagues and he was going to take care of his future elsewhere.
This off course didn’t endear him to the knuckledaggers who of course as is there way still continue to resent him.
Well done Whitt’s.

His only blight was pulling on a blue shirt. That aside, a good guy.

A mate of mine knows him well, and we lost the son of a very good workmate of ours, well publicised at the time as the young lad, a very good Hibby, had suffered a long and terrible illness but battled through what he could on his bucket list with the help of crowdfunding.
Steven was very supportive and some of the contributions he made to the effort were inspiring.
A very good lad that I could wish nothing but well.

Wish him well. Was disappointed he went to the huns but he served us well and I hope his next role works out for him

Doesn't seem to have the same nauseating connection that KT seems to have with them either (not for a second suggesting KT isn't a Hibs man by the way)

He will always be one of my favourite Hibs players. Loved him first time around and thought he was treated unfairly by a section of our support the second time round. I hope he goes on to a successful career in management.Every gimmick hungry yob,
Digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us,
He'll die before he's sold.

However, Stanton was towards the end of his playing career. Plus a big factor was his exit itself from Easter Road. I don't think he explicitly asked for or indeed wanted a transfer but there was some bust up that saw him dropped for the 2nd leg tie at Anfield with Hibs holding a 1 nil lead. I don't think he even travelled to Liverpool and we shipped 3 goals to a Toshack hatrick.

As for Steven Whittaker, the biggest compliment I can pay him is he reminded me of John Brownie the way he glided past opponents. Good luck in the future Steven.
