About this product
"Hibernian players have come in all shapes and sizes. They have written their part in the club's history in a varety of ways and this book seeks to capture all of their stories. Every player who has featured in a Hibernian competitive match since 1946 is to be found between these covers.
There had to be a cut-off point therefore only players who have made a senior appearance in a competitive match are included. I have made League, Scottish Cup, League Cup and European outings the criteria for inclusion.
How best to sum up the range of players covered in this book?
* There is the Hibernian goalkeeper who played only one match for the club... a European Cup semi-final.
*There is the player who played well over 200 games as a Hibee without ever scoring, but did just that in his one and only Scotland appearance.
* There is the Hibernian player who edited the Hearts match programme.
* There are two Hibs players who did some male modelling.
* There is the strange case of the farmer who became a relucant Hibernian goalkeeper.
* There was the tragic debutant who broke his leg just 20 seconds into his career.
* There are brothers and fathers and sons serving the club.
* There are men who both played for and managed Hibs.
* There is the young winger who played only one game for Hibs... A League Cup final at Hampden.
The above, in a nutshell, is the essence of this book. Yes, the all-time great Hibees are all in here - Baker, Smith, Reilly, Sauzee, Cormack, Turnbull and Combe - but they jostle for space with the likes of Hamilton, Stein, Wright, Riordan, Goram, Rae, Best and a host of others.
Some wonderful players, some wonderful stories and above all a host of memories."
