    Tallest ranked Hibs keepers

    So at 6’5” where does “The Iceman” Salinger rank?

    Whos the tallest - Macey, Big Ben or Makalamby?

    How do they rank from tallest to Andy McNeil :) - or was “Lofty” deceptively small?

    ok my self-imposed nae googling rule I’m guessing

    Macey Makalamby, Ben. I don’t really know!

    Rocky didn’t seem to be that tall at all in my opinion.

    I’m 6’4” and I thought I was a fair bit bigger than him.

    Macey without googling

    Used to kick the ball 100 yards but all vertical up in the air used to travel about 40 yards

    Best goalie imo Goram wasn’t that tall

    Definitely matey, but will never forgive him for not going up, when we had a last minute corner, even if the manager didn't want him to go up for it, he should have went up, yes,I'm still raging about it 🤣

    And about 2 feet wide - Schmeichel Snr - esque. And yet confusingly would let the ball go through him!

    Did he even play a game for us? I don't remember ever seeing him play for Hibs.

    Andy McNeil must have been taller than all of them.

    And yet the best goalie in a Hibs jersey I've seen in over 50 years.

    Both were brilliant thought Goram had the edge with the ball at his feet the pass back rule didn’t help Leighton but you are correct don’t think Leighton got enough credit after Dundee and Man United going on to win his Scotland place back with Hibs and being capped 23 times as a Hibernian player

    Welcome back any time

    He played in the festival cup or whatever it was called at the time.

    Glorified pre-season friendlies. I thought he was good but I was pretty young at the time so what do I know.

    How tall was Jim McArthur? Not quite modern day I suppose but I recall him being small for a goalie?

    Mike McDonald was a tall lad as well something like 6 2. Made sure he got the balls when he came off his line.
