I can’t help but feel equally as happy for Liam Craig as I do for SDG.
Brought into the club under Pat Fenlon, scores a few goals (including a belter away to Partick) in a CAM position. Butcher comes in, Craig gets played deeper and given the captaincy of a side managed by the worst manager in our history and nearly as poor a person (and I’ve spoken to the family member of a young player at the club at the time to be able to say that) and the poisoned chalice of that position drags him down.
I was never comfortable with the way Liam was treated by some of the support, he tried his hardest in a team led by a donkey.
Hes always come across as a good professional and been happy to come back for events at the club before he returned as assistant coach and I’m pleased he’s getting to share in the good feeling spread by our recent results.
Well in Liam, here’s hoping for more good times with the club going forward.

Good post and echo your sentiments. Pleased for Liam. A Hibs man who SDG wanted on board. Remember him saying being appointed captain of Hibs was the biggest honour of his career.

Agree, Liam Craig was decent, wrong place and time for him under that moronic tw@t Butcher

My brother met him when he was the Hibs captain, they were doing a radio thing together. My brother was very complimentary about him, his attitude, his demeanour - at what was a very difficult time for him both on the field and off at Hibs.
Glad he’s getting another chance to enjoy some good times. He also came with a reputation as a talented but inexperienced coach. He’s likely contributed to the improvements we’ve seen in players and in a strong, settled and organised team emerging.

I liked him as a player, and at the time it felt like he was being blamed for things that weren't his fault.

Scored a great goal when we pumped the Huns 4-0 under Stubbs. Loved that finish.

Didn't really work out as a player with Hibs, main memory of watching Liam Craig play was his constant arguing and bickering with referees, refs must have dreaded seeing him on the park!

He was treated a bit unfairly by a fair few of our support, though captaining us to relegation was always going to be tough to move on from.
He scored in my favourite ever game at ER (the 4-0 v Rangers) with an excellent goal so I'll always remember him for that.
