The David Platt post on the transfer thread got me thinking about players we've had the chance to sign but passed up over the years. John Robertson immediately springs to mind. Any others?

Andy McLaren in 2003. Played a few pre-season games that year.

Gordon Strachan and Alan Hansen. Both trained with Hibs as boys and ended up signing elsewhere.

Gordon Strachan, a childhood Hibs supporter rejected by Eddie Turnbull for being too small.

Billy Bremner, Hibs offered 25k, Leeds wanted 30K.
Peter Lorimer, Leeds offered him and 150k for Peter Cormack, he eventually left for 80k to Forest.
John Toshack, he joined Swansea instead as player manager, moved Swansea from the bottom division [forth] to the top [first, where they hit top spot briefly] in successive seasons, before resigning when they started to go in the other direction.

Way back in the day, I was a member of Club 86.
During the Duff and Gray years, Jim Gray told me at a function that a very young Emilio Butragueño had been over to us for a trial when Eddie Turnbull was our manager. According to Jim, ET had said Butragueno was too thin and not likely to make it with us.
I've often wondered if Jim Gray was havering or has anyone else ever heard this story.

Can think of quite a few players who chose Hearts over us. We dodged a lot of bullets

Pretty sure Didier Agathe missed an absolute sitter on his debut at Tiny in a 0-0
After that he was oan fire
Defo one that got away

Stephane Adam?
I’ve heard he had trials at both Hibs and Hearts before signing for that lot?
