A youngster at Hibernian in the early 1990s, Lee was unable to establish himself despite making a promising debut at Easter Road against Aberdeen as a 19 year old. Standing at just 5’6” he was released by Alex Miller apparently deemed too small to make the grade.
From Hibs he moved on to Meadowbank Thistle then Queen of the South. He later joined Brechin City and combined a useful career there with a day-time job of driving instructor before moving to Stirling Albion in March 2001.
By August 2002 he had dropped into the junior ranks, serving Bonnyrigg Rose in the new Super Junior Premier League.

Born in Derby , Roy served Celtic and Morton twice each in his interesting career. He replaced one of the first American imports to Scotland – Dave Brcic – when he returned to Morton from Hibs.
His spell with Hibs in the early 70s coincided with that of Gordon Marshall which meant that the club had two English goalkeepers on their books. Roy, for all his ability, never quite dominated the scene at Easter Road and made only 23 appearances, all of them in the 1970/71 campaign. His stint with Hibs ended in 1972.
Nevertheless this set-back did not deter him and he was still playing first team football by 1983, joining St Johnstone that year. He was later a publican in the Lothian region.

Signed in 1960 from Rangers Sammy was a powerful wing-half. He started his career in Denny before joining Rutherglen Glencairn and then moving to the nearest senior club – Clyde. He won promotion with Clyde in 1952 and moved on to Preston North End before Scott Symon took him to Rangers.
He won league and Scottish Cup honours whilst at Rangers and had seven caps when Hibernian signed him in 1960. His role was largely to fill the void left by the departure of Bobby Johnstone and encourage the youngsters at Easter Road. He reserved some of his best displays for European nights and would perhaps have stayed longer at Hibernian had an old friend not come calling.
Sammy moved to Third Lanark, managed by ex-Rangers George Young, in November 1962. Alas Third’s were already showing signs of the malaise that would see them slip from the ‘football map’ and he moved to Stirling Albion after a brief say on Glasgow’s south side.

Born in New York in 1938, Gerry was with Chelsea when only 15 but failed to settle and returned to the family home in Lanarkshire. He joined Motherwell and was extremely unlucky not to be a member of the famous Ancell Babes side.
Unable to oust Ian St John, Andy Weir or Willie Hunter from the Fir Park side he moved to St. Mirren and promptly proved himself a most accomplished striker. In 1959 he won a Scottish Cup winners badge with the Saints (scoring in the final) and he followed that up with 10 goals in a 15-0 Scottish Cup win over Glasgow University the very next season.
In November 1960 he moved to Manchester City and his single season there brought 14 goals in 37 starts. Miffed at being dropped from the first team he angled for a transfer and got his wish in November 1961 when Hibs paid £18,000 for his services.
Following his elder brother Joe into the team cannot have been easy but Gerry was an able marksman and soon rattled in the goals. However he could not settle with Hibs and moved to Ipswich Town in December 1963.
He was at Portman Road for 4 years before moving to Coventry City in November 1967. He played non league football with Margate and Nuneaton before going to work for Jaguar in Coventry. He was a full USA internationalist.

Along with Lawrie Reilly, Joe is the greatest striker ever to serve Hibs. Signed when only 17 Joe made his debut against Airdrie at Broomfield in a League Cup tie and went on to score 31 goals in his first senior season, and astonishing 7 of which were Scottish Cup goals.
That marked the start of a sensational Hibs career. Born in Liverpool in 1940 he joined the club from Armadale Thistle and was quickly amongst the goals. He earned national fame when scoring 9 in a Scottish Cup tie against little Peebles Rovers, in bagging 42 in a season 1959-60 and then all four Hibs goals in a 4-3 cup triumph over Hearts at Tynecastle.
He was capped by England at Under-23 then full international level whilst a Hibee, scoring on his debut against Ireland.
The inevitable came in July 1961 when he moved to Torino. Although paired with Denis Law in Turin he did not settle and in 1962 returned to Britain with Arsenal. The then played for Sunderland and Nottingham Forest.
In 1970 he returned to Hibernian, nine years and eight months on from his initial departure, and made a sensational second debut, scoring with a classical header in a 2-1 win over Aberdeen that ended the Dons remarkable run of 15 straight wins. Injury however had caught up with Joe and he retired soon afterwards, although there was time for a brief sortie to Raith Rovers.
Baker’s career with Hibs in summary is quite astonishing. 159 goals in only 4 seasons, a Scottish Cup final appearance when only 17 and having scored 4 times at Tynecastle in a 4-3 epic earlier in the competition. 42 league goals in a single season, 14 hat-tricks and caps for England at full and Under-23 level. Little wonder that Hibs supporters loved the fabulous Baker Boy.

Born in Edinburgh in 1958, Eamonn enjoyed a marvellous playing career which took in Hearts, Chelsea, Dundee United and then both Hearts and Hibs before an ‘evening’ stint with Stenhousemuir. In his time with United he played a key role in their often thrilling European adventures.
Born in Edinburgh in 1958, Eamonn joined Hearts in 1976 from Links BC and was a key left sided midfield player. Such was his youthful talent that he was blooded in a European Cup Winners Cup tie against the mighty Hamburg. In 1978 his goals from deep helped Hearts gain promotion to the Premier League, but when Chelsea came in with a £215,000 offer a financially challenged Hearts could not refuse. However, he did not settle in the capital and Jim McLean lured him back to Scotland with Dundee United.
At Tannadice Eamonn really flourished and he was an integral part of their Championship and League Cup winning sides. Moreover, he served Scotland 11 times and played in some wonderful United European nights and his galloping goal against Borussia Moenchengladbach was a real peach. 9 seasons later Eamonn returned to Hearts and it is worthy of note that he cost £225,000 ... more than his initial transfer fee!
He was subsequently a player coach at Hibs, then assistant manager at Hearts before donning his boots again for Terry Christie’s Stenhousemuir. A fairy-tale ending was him bow out with a Challenge Cup winners medal, ironically gained against Dundee United.
His football career ended in a note of controversy as he was sacked as manager of Falkirk after the Bairns had used an unregistered player in a match against St. Mirren, thus incurring a steep Scottish League fine. There are many who felt that the responsibility for fielding the player did not lie at Eamonn’s door.

A powerful centre-half he ended his senior career at Hibernian, having started it across the city with Hearts.
His career began with a move from Musselburgh Athletic to Tynecastle. He then joined Dunfermline and was part of the Pars side that defeated Hearts in the 1968 Scottish Cup final (Alex Edwards was also in that side). If that was the high point of his Scottish career he enjoyed a successful spell in England when he moved to Coventry City and then on to Crystal Palace. It was from Palace that Hibernian boss Eddie Turnbull signed him during the 1974/75 season, just as Roy seemed destined to take up a coaching spot in America. Roy made 36 league outings for Hibs between 1974 and 1976.

At 5’11” and 12 stones John was a powerful half back who joined Hibernian from Benburb in 1955. Could defend with vigour but liked to get forward too and netted some memorable goals including one against Rangers in the late 1950s.
He was capped by Scotland at Under-23 level against Wales in 1958. He moved on to Falkirk after his Hibs career ended.

Began his career with Dundee United in 1980 and rapidly progressed through the ranks. He helped Scotland win the Under-18 European Championship in 1983 and represented Dundee United in the 1987 UEFA Cup final.
He joined Luton Town after 8 years on Tayside and helped his new club reach the 1989 League Cup final. He joined Hibs in October 1991 and was on the bench as Hibs won the League Cup final weeks later. However, injury disrupted his Hibernian career and it is fair to say the Easter Road support never saw the best of him.

A very solid midfielder Stuart gave service to several clubs in a lengthy career. He started with Montrose then moved to St Johnstone for £20,000 in 1981.
Stuart was signed from Dundee United. He played a major part in the infamous clash with Rangers at the start of the 86/87 season. Rangers new player/manager Graeme Souness was sent–off at Easter Road for his assault on George McCluskey, an incident which had it’s roots in a challenge by Beedie on Souness. Beedie scored in that game and Hibs went on to claim a famous 2-1 victory.
His spell with Hibs was followed by spells at Dunfermline and Dundee.

Signed for £30,000 in 1987 the former St. Mirren, Aberdeen and Rangers midfielder was a cultured player who had made his name as part and parcel of Alex Ferguson’s Aberdeen reign. He was probably past his best when he joined Hibs and later he served Shrewsbury Town and Hull City.

Born in Belfast in 1946, George Best was one of the greatest post-war European footballers. A left-winger of extraordinary skill he was also one of the most famous personalities of the ‘Beatles’ era and sadly it was this exposure to the limelight that ultimately ended his football career prematurely.
Capped 37 times by Northern Ireland best was one of Matt Busby’s great Manchester United team that could boast talents such as Bobby Charlton and Denis Law. He won a European Cup medal in 1968, indeed he scored in the final against Benfica.
However, he was not a dedicated professional and soon his fondness for the ‘high life’ caught up with him. After admirable patience on the part of Manchester United he was finally released from Old Trafford and played with the likes of Fulham and Fort Lauderdale before Hibernian signed him in November 1979.
His Hibs debut came against St. Mirren at Paisley and the gate was hugely swelled. Hibs lost 2-1 but Best scored the Hibees counter and a love affair was born. Over 20,000 turned up at Easter Road for an otherwise mundane match against Partick Thistle as he made his Edinburgh debut.
His appearances were sporadic and Edinburgh was ablaze with rumours about Best’s off field antics. Hibs were patient with Best but he failed to apply himself and was soon on his way. He had a final farewell in August 1980 having returned from San Jose Earthquakes and action in the American League.
Nevertheless, the feeling was that this was a marvellous cameo appearance and that no harm had been done. Hibs were relegated that season.
With Manchester United Best played in 525 games and scored 210 times, of that total he contributed 11 goals in only 34 European ties..

Scored an own goal against Hibs whilst an Airdrie player in 1968, but it is doubtful if that lay behind his £30,000 transfer to Hibs in 1969.
A tall centre-half he made his Easter Road debut against Newcastle United in August 1969. He proved a good buy for Hibernian and won a League Cup winners badge in 1972. He was also a key performer in the two Dryburgh Cup wins over Celtic around the same time.
He linked very well with John Blackley at the back and although not amongst the better known of the Turnbull side he was undoubtedly a key element.

A wonderfully composed defender, John joined Hibs in 1964 from Gairdoch United and went on to have a great Hibs career. He was part of the super Turnbull’s Tornadoes side and marshalled his defensive colleagues with assurance and no little style.
He played in some memorable Hibernian matches including the 7-0 rout at Tynecastle and the 6-1 European hammering of Sporting Lisbon. By the early seventies he was easily one of Scotland’s finest central defenders and he graduated from league internationals to full internationals very quickly Indeed he played for Scotland in the 1974 World Cup finals in Germany.
After amassing 424 appearances he was sold to Newcastle United for £100,000. He was highly appreciated at St. James’ Park before moving on to Preston and Hamilton (as player/manager eventually) before returning to Hibs and ultimately managing the club.
He was responsible for some fine signings including and 18-year old striker from East Fife by the name of Gordon Durie. Appointed Hibs boss in September 1984, he stayed until his resignation in the winter of 1986, arguably having expected to achieve too much too soon.
John’s love of football remained undiminished and he worked as a coach at Dundee United and St Johnstone after leaving Easter Road.

A centre-forward Jim was signed from St. Mirren in June 1970. He had bagged 18 goals for the Saints in the 69/70 season and was a powerful six footer. What’s more he had been part-time at Paisley working as a chemical operator during the day.
Sadly he never lived up to his undoubted promise and went back to Saints in February 1971 having failed to settle. He played in 15 league games for Hibs and did score a few in the autumn of 1970, including two in a 3-2 win over Rangers at Easter Road. He had initially joined St Mirren in 1967 from Shotts Bon Accord and was a one-time Scottish junior badminton champion!

Lets clarify one thing from the outset. Known as Jimmy Boco to the Hibernian support, his real name was Jean Marc Adjoui Boco.
Signed from Lens at the start of the 1997/98 season he made 29 outings in that strange campaign, that started with a scintillating home win over Celtic but ended in relegation. He did not survive and played no part in the Alex McLeish revival of Hibs.

In 1955 Malcolm represented Scotland Schoolboys against England at Liverpool and this ensured a host of clubs chased his signature. Hibs convinced him to come to Easter Road and the apprentice engineer finally made the move in 1956, signing from Balgreen Rovers. Two games in the 58/59 season and one in the 62/63 season was the sum of his Hibs league career.
