PsychocAndy Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I only really remember Pat Stanton when he went to Celtic. So he is out the equation. The Thumb kept them up 2 years in a row, so of field aside, he is ruled out too because he was never a H1b5 player. Andy Goram was brilliant but off field he was/is a fud. So Le Decanter, Latapay and Goram. The rest are either shite or bigger fuds than talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgan Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Unfortunately. I can remember Herriot, Brownlie, Schaedler, Blackley, Black, Stanton, Edwards, Cropley, Gordon, O'Rourke & Duncan. That was before the bile started and real "Hibs Class" began to surface. Exactly what I was going to post - used to get taken to Fester by a neighbour who was trting to convert the wee laddie. I would have put Stanton at number 4 and Blackely at 6 though. Great side even though I pished myself when they lost the second SC Final replay to Rangers!

R1874 Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Griffiths is good at football but, you know, choked in the biggest derby of all time. I've grown to respect Scott Brown as a player but still think he is overrated. In all seriousness, Griffiths is the only Hibs player I have truly been scared of in my time as a Hearts fan. That's probably been in part because of our superiority over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden Gorgie Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Good idea for a thread by the OP. Would agree with his starting XI too but i would maybe shoehorn in the guy who scored against us and ended up at Villa. Cannae remember his name though! South American chap.

King of the North Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Honestly? I have never respected a single Hibs player. In my entire life there have been maybe four that I honestly thought were good players, and i had even more disrespect for them than the rest, for wasting their time at that utter shitehole of an organisation.

Locky Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'd rather have worded it something like, least hated Hibs XI. There's a lot of players who've played for them which I can't recall a reason to dislike them as an individual. But, I have no ounce of respect for that club or anything associated with them whatsoever. Respect can only be demanded while acting with class.

RobNox Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Firstly none of the team you've chosen would touch the team Turnbull assembled but as to " most respected "well away and throw shite at the moon I've never listened to the show ,seems that's been a good choice if this is an example of the topics good luck tho The point of the show is that there are both Hearts and Hibs fans involved in the debate so it is not intended to take a one sided view of things or descend into a bun fight. The Hibs fans will be asked the same question about the Hearts players they respected. For me, who started watching Hearts during the Turnbull era, there were a few great Hibs players in that team. I'd single out Stanton and Brownlie. Since then, Sauzee is an obvious choice, and I was pleased on a couple of occasions when Scott Brown was unavailable to play against us.

That doesn't mean we like him, just grudgingly admire that he was a damn decent player. Andy Goram in the 3-1 game for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voice of reason Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 As a little experiment for the Monday Night Fitba show I have decided to ask hearts fans to pick their favourite/respected hibs XI during their lifetime. I will keep checking this page for new entries and also on our facebook page and @MNFITBA so feel free to post there as well. During one of our future shows we will discuss some of the teams and give our own personal selections and reasons for them. Below you will see the hibs team I picked covering 94-2014 Goalkeeper ? Daniel Andersson. The Swede was only at the club for one season but is the most dependable and solid keeper I have seen at the club since Andy Goram left. I?m quite suprised he only gained one solitary cap for his country given his obvious attributes. Was a key figure in the clubs league cup triumphs over Celtic & Rangers that year. still playing for Helsingborgs at the fair old age of 41. Right Back ? David Gray. Has really impressed me since joining in the summer. Looks capable both defensively and in a more advanced wing back role and looks like a more capable captain than craig or hanlon. A very suprising success story given his less than impressive CV. Left Back ? David Murphy. Hibs fans should be thankful for his lack of pace because if a yard quicker this lad would have played for a top half team in the premiership for a number of years and would never have been seen in a hibs jersey. Injuries have blighted his career but when fully fit there were very few full backs in this country as consistent as him. Sweeper ? I am not a fan of the sweeper role but felt i needed to make this exception just to make a space for Frank Sauzee. I still can?t quite understand how Alex Mcleish managed to persuade the frenchman to ply his trade in the scottish first division but his signing seemed to give the club the boost the needed at a difficult time. Great reader of the game and a gentleman to boot. Centre Back ? Ulrik Laursen. A very imposing centre half who could hold is own in a very physical SPL but was also very capable on the deck. Went onto have a decent spell with celtic where he impressed in a couple of positions. Right Midfield ? Steven Whittaker. Always rated him more as a wide mifielder than as a full back. Great energy and decent pace with a shot that packed a punch. Always seemed to handle life as a footballer in a more professional manner than some of his fellow golden generation. Left Midfield ? Kevin Mcallister. Maybe inconsistent but on his day a superb old fashioned winger who had a bag of tricks and although recognised more through his spells with Falkirk, he still had a decent spell with the hibees. Centre Midfield ? Scott Brown. I must admit I still yearn to see the energetic,snarling and technically sound scott brown of old. I feel he has stagnated at Celtic and has rested on his laurels. At Hibs he looked the complete midfielder and under the guidance of Mowbray looked like becoming a star in England. Centre Midfield ? Russell Latapy. One of the most gifted midfielders I have witnessed at Tynecastle and even in his later years at Falkirk would cause all sorts of problems with his movement and vision. His goal in the 6-2 derby is one of the best scored in a derby during my lifetime. His antics off the field maybe resulted in a sour end to his time at Easter Road but in general he came across as a great role model on the park for his younger team mates. Forward ? Mixu Paatelainen. Great battering ram of a frontman who overcame a sticky start to his hibs career to win over the fans. Also good on the deck and scored a memorable hat-trick in the 6/2 derby. Forward ? Darren Jackson. Kept Hibs up almost single handedly in his final year at the club. Never had electric pace on the ball but great at finding space in the final third and had great composure also. A great servant to both edinburgh clubs and to this day still handles himself well in interviews. A couple of unnecessary 6-2 references in there just to suck up to the Hibs fans. The Latapy goal in that game has been bettered in two derbies this year alone with the goals from Sam and Alim. Mixu was a big huddy who is a bit like Wayne Foster for us - famed for one good Derby but very average overall. Michael O'Neill, Keith Wright and John Collins were all good players and role models. In recent years all their better players have been horrible people: Griffiths, Riordan, Stokes and Brown. Steven Fletcher has proved to be a good striker although only really after he left Easter Road. Basically, in the last 20 years they have not had players of the class of those at Tynecastle. It's hard to respect players who are inferior to what you are watching every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wright for mixu is a good shout though. The 6-2 reference is relevant as performance s in derbys are what helped shape my opinions on these players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I can't really say but the older folk in here who watched good hibs teams of the past must have some decent players.

Jambo Ell Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 We get it. We hate Hibs. They're our rivals, that's natural.

Personally, I'd be interested to hear what a Hibs supporters opinion would be on their thoughts on a Hearts side over the years.

Mikey1874 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Seriously sh1te thread. Don't respect any H1b5 players, it's a foul, absolutely rotten club Andy Goran was outstanding in end of season game at Tynie in 1991, just before he signed for Rangers when in first game gifted a first minute goal to us scored by Scott Crabbe. In that Hibs game he was applauded and name sung by Hearts fans after one of several great saves that saved a real 6/7 goal thrashing. For a short while quite impressed by Roirdan and O'Connor. But all the good Hibs players were in the 1950s before my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The White Cockade Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 The Hibs team of the 70's was class Glad they have never been remotely close to that standard since as when I started watching Hearts the best result we ever seemed to get against them was 0-0 and we usually got beaten Different story these days! However even that team they had back then didn't win many trophies mostly because at that time the Old Firm completely dominated the Scottish game a lot more than they have done in recent years Hibs have been nothing since the Tom Hart days Before my time in the 50's they also had a great team with the Famous Five etc and in those days a lot of fans went to Tynecastle one week and Easter Road the next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
