Least appearances with the biggest impact

[joe breezy]

The two that come to mind for me are

1. Conrad Logan
8 appearances yet played a pivotal role in winning the Scottish Cup, especially the semi where he saved two penalties

2. George Best
17 appearances that lit up Scottish football
He may have still been on the bevvy sadly but he was still capable of an exquisite touch and a pinpoint pass

Any others?

[Pagan Hibernia]

Albert Kidd.

0 appearances for the Hibs, but what an impact.

Didn't he pick up a player of the year award from our supporters too or is my memory shot to hell?

[HibeeSince85]

Maloida last season was short but impactful.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Nicky Cadden this season could be in the mix.

[Bobby's Cinema]

It would take something extraordinary to beat what Conrad Logan done for us

Seeing the highlights of the semi come up the other day was a reminder. Dragged us into the final, won the cup, and just like that he disappeared just as mysteriously as he arrived.

Didier Agathe 6 games 4 goals

[hibsbollah]

Logan without a shadow.

[The_Exile]

Marc Libbra, think it was only around a dozen games or so? Scored a good number of goals in that time too, 7 or 8 if memory serves.

[hibsbollah]

Alan OBrien the polarity. How he got 40+ appearances i have no idea.

God I thought he played a lot more than that. Just googled it and it looks like 5 goals in 10 games!

I'm trying to think about the circumstaces around him. I'm sure he was a late signing in the season, probably even before transfer windows were a thing? He might've been injured for a wee bit but then got chucked in and couldn't stop scoring, think he even got one at Celtic Park and there were the usual Daily Record headlines of Celtic taking him at the end of his Toulouse contract form under our noses. He went to Norwich after us and was a bit of a let down from memory.

He was outstanding! I’m sure Martin O’Neil wanted him at Celtic.

A late equaliser at Celtic Park, and he also scored 2 late consolation goals in a 2-5 hammering from Celtic at ER, so 3 of his 5 goals were against them - and he was the one player who performed quite well in the cup final against them. Not really a shock that they were interested as he was potentially available for free.

It was actually 5 goals in 13 games in total, but he was pretty memorable.

Kris Commons done us a turn in the championship.

Isak Refvik & Sven Mathisen played 7 and 3 games respectively with Refvik scoring twice, on his debut, against Morton in the League Cup.

The two Norwegians, who arrived from Viking Stavanger and I K Start, briefly lit up the cold winter of the 1978/79 season before issues with their playing visas saw their Hibernian careers sadly cut short.

Thorsten Schmugge. Played once for us in a 2-0 win at Pittodrie (when we didn't often win there). Never to be seen again. I think his dog wasn't allowed into the UK or something.

[BILLYHIBS]

Scott Bain

[HoboHarry]

Klaus Dietrich hugely impacted my understanding of how that much of a huddy could become a professional footballer. Played for us once I think before Marlene told him to get back home.

The big man would normally cast a considerable shadow. Have to be a very cloudy day.

Chris Killen goals per game ratio must be up there.

That game was the game Stubbs came back from his cancer lay off.

We were also building the west stand so ER was reduced capacity.

It begins and ends with Conrad Logan.

Some folk spend years at a club and are forgotten months after they leave, including at this club. Conrad Logan played 8 ( eight ) games for Hibs and became a never to be forgotten legend.

It's like some sort of fantasy story .... a giant emerges from the mists of Ireland, a wobbly mysterious figure nobody knows about. He looks as suited to the role of hero as fly in the air, but in the space of 130 plus minutes he changes everything and then sticks around for another 90 + 4 to cement his legend, before wandering back into the mists never to be seen again.

Did Conrad Logan ever even really exist

[Springbank]

You've all missed the biggie

Dave Beaumont.

Iirc by the time of his third game he was unbeaten.

Game 1 I can't recall... but...
Game 2 he won the league cup v dunfy
Game 3 was 1-1 in the Derby where we paradëd the cup

So in 3 games he had played vs Medals Mackay & Levein, been unbeaten in his Derby AND won more medals than those jambos would win in their entire career

Nicky Cadden this season could be in the mix.

He has had a massive impact since he came in, his mentality is spot on, got the players up for things with his crunching tackles tireless work and in players faces, he was just what we needed and obviously his goals and assists.

[hibbydog]

Great thread. Mainly because we get to mention Conrad Logan.
