This young Canadian player was signed in September 1997 from Metro Ford and never quite made the impact hoped for. He enjoyed a rousing debut against Barnsley when the supporters, intrigued by his unusual surname, cheered his every move. However, such popularity could not propel him into the first team and he eventually left to join Morton. He played a single game in Hibs 98/99 promotion run.

Signed as a right-back from Ballieston Juniors in 1949, George showed great patience whilst at Hibs. Between 1953 and 1959 he made a clutch of appearances. He would probably have made more than 11 appearances were competition not quite so stiff.

A cult hero amongst Hibernian fans, it would be fair to say that Brazil was not the most skilled footballer during his lengthy stay at Easter Road but certainly one of the most reliable and popular. His approach to the game was of the no frills variety but he lacked nothing in effort or enthusiasm.
Eddie Turnbull signed Brazil from Currie Hearts in December 1976 and by 1979 he had made sufficient progress to play in the Scottish Cup final against Rangers. His debut had come against Aberdeen at Pittodrie in 1977.
Ally built upon that debut and went on to play, largely in defence, in over 200 matches during a Hibernian career that lasted a decade. He moved to Forfar Athletic after his Hibs career ended and gave them sterling service.

Born in 1977 in Edinburgh, Grant’s midfield promise was such that he was capped 18 times by Scotland at Under-21 level. His senior career began with Manchester United but he initially joined Hibs when signed by Alex McLeish on loan at the tail end of the 1999 relegation season.
Despite his finest efforts, and an excellent goal against Dundee United, he was unable to help Hibs stay in the Premier League and in the summer of 1998 elected to join Tommy Burns’ Reading, with United receiving £300,000 in exchange.
The 1998/99 season saw him in fine form for Reading and he scored 10 league goals but elected to return to Hibs, this time on a full-time basis in the summer of 1999. Slipping into a midfield that could boast the likes of Latapy and Sauzee. Strong running, and full of stamina, Brebner added work-rate to an engine room that was rich in flair.
In October 2000 Grant spent a period on loan to Stockport County in a bid to ensure first team football. He retuned determined to regain his first team spot and duly did this when Bobby Williamson took over from Alex McLeish.

Born in Aberchirder in 1952, Des joined Hibs from Deveronvale in 1972. He went to become one of the most versatile and determined performers at Easter Road and enjoyed a lengthy spell with the club before moving to Aston Villa. With Villa he scaled the heights winning the European Cup and the English Championship.
Des made his Hibs debut against Dundee United in January 1973. Capped by Scotland at Youth, Under 23 and full international level he had boundless energy and enthusiasm. He made his Scotland debut against Switzerland in a 1-0 win, coming on for Kenny Dalglish, and added his full cap to Under 23 and league awards.
In total Des made 200 league appearances for Hibs. His career in England took in not only Aston Villa, but their great city rivals Birmingham. Unusually he was held in high esteem by both halves of the Birmingham divide. After retiring from playing Des worked for the English PFA.

The ex-Forfar, Raith and Dundee United striker joined Hibs in July 2001 from Greek side Ionikos. Vastly experienced Craig has practical experience of the big day at Hampden having scored the winner in the 1994 Scottish Cup final. His stint in Greece has improved his range of skills and few players hold and distribute the ball with such assurance.

A £15,000 capture from St Johnstone, where he had been their all-time top goalscorer. Hibs chased long and hard to land this marksman, indeed in 1980, when Brogan walked out on St Johnstone briefly Hibs offered £120,000 for his services and were astonished when this was rejected. When that deal collapsed Brogan returned to the fold at Saints and promptly scored 7 goals in only 9 games.
Sadly his stay with Hibs was short and slightly disappointing, he later played with Hamilton and Stirling Albion before managing the latter. By the year 2002 he was manager of junior club East Kilbride Thistle.

Had been a distinguished full back for Hearts in the late 1960s and 1970s before moving to Hibernian in 1979. Solid and reliable his claim to fame however was to lie outwith Edinburgh. Jim was on the receiving end of a quite horrendous and sickening tackle by John Pelosi of St Johnstone (this when Brown was briefly at Dunfermline) which ended in a court case.
Brown’s career at Hibs got off to a fine start, played as a midfielder he scored two goals in his early outings, one against Manchester City in the Skol Cup at Tynecastle and one against St Mirren in an Anglo-Scottish Cup tie (the latter on his debut).
He played with Hibs for two seasons, the first of which saw Hibs relegated and the second promotion, so they were hardly full years. As mentioned above he then moved to Dunfermline.

Signed initially on a one-month deal in 1980 Jim stayed for longer when it was clear Bertie Auld admired his midfield talents.
It was unfortunate that his spell at Easter Road should coincide with that of another Jim Brown (ex-Hearts). This particular Brown version had played in Belgium with Ghent and in Greece with Ethnikos. However, he was better known for his spells in England with Portsmouth and Aston Villa.

A precocious talent, Scott Joined Hibs when he was only Tthirteen. By the age of seventeen he had burst into the first team with such industry and drive it was clear he was a tremendous prospect.
He was squickly amont the goal and the tail end of the 2002/03 season was much the better for his appearance, The following season he picked up from where he left off and his total fearlessness allied to his sheer skill won him admirers well beyond Easter Road.
By 2004 he was a Scotland U21 internationalist and a regular in the Hibs first team, holding his place with ease when Tony Mowbray arrived as manager. His combative style did not always endear him to opposition players and fans, and it was suggested by some experienced players that he had rather too much to say for himself on the field.

A gifted full-back, John Brownlie was one of the stars of the Eddie Turnbull era. Pacy, tigerish in the tackle, and creative going forward he was a permanent fixture in the Hibs team for nine years. Under 23 caps, full international caps, 211 league outings and of course, a League Cup winners medal were suitable rewards for a player who was above all else classy.
John was a provisional signing when he was 16 and finally joined when Bob Shankly called him up. He made his Hibs debut at Dunfermline when only 18 in 1968.
He played concurrently for the Under 23s and full international sides before joining Newcastle United in a deal that carried Ralph Callachan from Tyneside to Easter Road.
John later played for Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Berwick Rangers and Blyth Spartans. He was then manager at Cowdenbeath, East Stirling and Arbroath.

Signed from Westerton Ams in 1947, this young goalkeeper had a match in the 50/51 season. He was unusual in that he was a farmer who drifted into football almost by accident and continued to mix farming with football during his time at Easter Road.

One of the great unsung heroes of the post war Hibernian side that won three championships. He was a Hibee for over a decade when Hibs were arguably the best side in Scotland and Archie lent an enviable amount of drive and muscle to that team.
Signed in 1943 from Edinburgh Thistle he rather handily lived round the corner from Easter Road. He was amongst the goals in the first official season after World War Two and kept that up until the 1956/57 season when he finally retired from the Easter Road scene.
In all Archie played 205 league games for Hibernian, which was no mean feat in an era when games were less frequent than today.

This red headed defender started with Edinburgh Waverley before arriving at Hibs in 1954. In February 1960 John moved to Raith Rovers. His career partially over-lapped that of Archie Buchanan which did pose problems for the sports reporter of that day. Jock played 13 league games for Hibs

Born in Workington in 1951 John was known as ‘Budgie’ by virtue of his almost non-stop talking. One of the great veterans of the game, John joined Hibs when he was 39 in 1991.
He has started his senior career in 1969 with Workington and then played with a further 12 senior clubs as he clocked up a staggering 700 senior appearances. His clubs were in order Workington, Blackpool, Aston Villa, (Southend United on loan), Crystal Palace, QPR, Wolves, Derby County (on loan), Sheffield United, Southampton, Newcastle, Hibs, Newcastle (again), Scarborough, Lincoln City, Aberdeen, Manchester City, Dumbarton, Falkirk, Ayr United, Notts County, Darlington, Grimsby, Northampton, Queen of the South and Scarborough (for a second spell).
He was frequently described in the Hibernian match programme as a model professional. Extremely fit he did not smoke or drink and devoted an enormous amount of team to staying in good shape.
