Alas an entry in the one-game wonders column for Mr. Hall. His only outing in earnest came in the 1946/47 season. He had served Hibs during the war period but was essentially only with Hibernian on loan from Sunderland. Prior to playing in the north-east of England he had been with Dunfermline.

Joined the club in the early 1980s, but saw his career badly hampered by a leg break. Born in Dumbarton he was a wing-half in the old-fashioned mould. He played 7 league games whilst a Hibee.

League Cup

Europe

A talented left sided midfielder Brian made his mark with St. Mirren helping them to the Scottish Cup in 1987. He had joined the Saints from Pollok United BC in 1985. He moved to Hibs in July 1989 and his silky skills were soon put to good use.
   Capped four times by Scotland at Under-21 level he fell out of favour at Easter Road and a move to Hearts ensured that the Hibs faithful would always give him a rousing ‘welcome’ when he returned to Easter Road. He later served Falkirk and Clydebank.
   Paisley born, he won a Scottish Cup winners badge with the Saints and a League Cup winners medal with Hibees. Brian was very popular with his fellow professionals who to a man declared him “a player’s player”.

Hamilton, Johnny

League

League Cup

Europe

Signed as an 18 year from Cumbernauld Juniors by Bob Shankly. A clever midfielder his left footed skills were delightful and it was always going to be a difficult task to hold on to such a ‘natural’ talent. Between 1969 and 1973 Johnny made 58 league appearances for Hibs.
  In due course this rather stocky player moved on to Rangers. He enjoyed some success at Ibrox but did not wholly fit in with Jock Wallace’s work ethic. He later played with Millwall and St Johnstone.

Hamilton, Willie

League

Scottish Cup

League Cup

Europe

One of the most enigmatic performers ever to pull on a Hibs jersey. Hamilton could be sublime, a near genius, but like so many genius footballers he was a essentially a flawed character. A lack of dedication and a fondness for the good life were ultimately his undoing.
   There were games where he dominated the scene magnificently, arguably never more so than in a friendly against the mighty Real Madrid at Easter Road as he inspired Hibs to a 2-0 win.
   Willie had two spells with Hearts and also turned out for Sheffield United, Middlesbrough and Aston Villa. He died tragically young and is remembered fondly as a rare and natural talent.

Harper, Joe

League

Scottish Cup

League Cup

Europe

A small, barrel-chested striker, Joe was one of the finest goal-grabbers of his era. He started his career with Morton in the mid 1960s and then, following a glut of goals, moved to Huddersfield Town. Failing to settle he returned to Morton and did so well that Aberdeen snapped him up. He won a Scottish Cup winners badge whilst with the Dons (scoring in the final) then moved to Everton in a lucrative transfer.
   The Dons were keen to bring him back from Goodson when Hibs pipped them. He had many highs in his Hibernian career, short as it was. He scored our first ever Premier League goal when we beat Hearts 1-0 and scored all five in a 5-0 win over Nijmegan (he also hit the post in that game!). In the 1974 League Cup final Harper had the unusual distinction of scoring a hat-trick and still contriving to end up on the losing side as Hibs went down to Celtic 3-6. As football historian Bob Crampsey remarked ‘no man ever played better in a losing cause”.
   A less happy occasion came in October 1975 at Celtic Park as Joe and Des Bremner scored at Celtic Park in what would have been a 2-0 win but for the referee abandoning it with around five minutes left due to fog. Joe had not only scored but appeared to be the target of a mini-field invasion by Celtic fans from the notorious ‘Jungle’.
  He left Hibs in 1976 to rejoin Aberdeen (Hibs almost got Davie Robb in exchange) and went to become a real Dons legend. After his playing career ended he played briefly in the Highland league before returning to the West of Scotland and renewing his association with Morton.

Harper, Kevin

League Cup

Europe

Born in Oldham in January 1976, this clever little winger joined Hibs in 1992 as an apprentice and was promptly capped at Youth, Under-21 and ‘B’ international level. Tricky, direct and useful around goal he became a firm Hibs favourite very quickly.
   It was an Under 21 hat-trick that finally propelled Kevin Harper from local to national stage. In 1995 he scored a threesome against Finland – one with his right, one with his left and a header proving neatly his versatility.
   His Easter Road career might well be remembered for one goal in particular against Hearts. When Hibs slipped into the First Division it was clear he would be looking to move on and in September 1998 he joined Derby County. Later in his career he served Portsmouth.

Harris, Colin

League Cup

Europe

Between 1984 and 1986, Colin made 26 outings in a Hibs jersey one of which was in the 1986 League Cup final against Aberdeen.
  He proved a slightly nomadic player as his career path suggests – Raith Rovers, Dundee, Hibernian, Raith Rovers, Hamilton, Meadowbank, Clydebank and Queen of the South. He was most successful at Hamilton where he scored a winner in the B & Q Cup final, picked up another winners badge twelve months later and won a First Division Championship badge.
   Occasionally Colin could play in goals and he did so on more than one occasion for Accies.

Harrower, Jim

League

11

League Cup

Europe

Born in Alva in August 1935, Jim was a prolific marksman in junior football with Sauchie, Kilsyth Rangers and Bo’ness United. It was from the latter that Hibs signed him and he broke into the Hibs first team in season 55/56. His form was sufficiently good to tempt Liverpool to sign him in January 1958. In all he scored 11 goals in 36 Hibs league matches.
   He was with Liverpool from 1957 to 1960 and scored 21 goals in 96 league matches. From Liverpool he moved to Newcastle United, where he played just 5 games, then Falkirk. He later played with St Johnstone and at one stage in his Perth career threatened legal action against the SFA when handed a 28-day suspension.
   Capped once by Scotland at Under-23 level he was the archetypal inside forward; a raider who could both create and take chances.

Hartley, Paul

League

League Cup

Europe

Signed by Alex McLeish from Raith Rovers for £200,000, Paul helped in the push to promotion from the first division in 1999. However, he never quite made the same impression when Hibs played in the Premier League and he was allowed to leave and join St jOhnsotne.
   He had in fact been a Hibernian ‘s’ form but joined Hamilton on a YTS programme and made his debut for Accies when only 17. He spent three years with Accies, but never once played at Douglas Park, as Accies sought a new ground.
   Jimmy Nicholl bought him for Millwall (one of four Scots signed on the same day!) but Paul did not settle in London and followed Nicholl back to Scotland with Raith Rovers. Paul had probably his best spell when he joined Hearts. He currently plays for Celtic along with another of the “Riccarton Three” Steven Pressley signing for them after they spoke out about Vladamir Romanov’s running of Hearts.

Harvey, Graham

League Cup

Europe

Born in Musselburgh in 1961 Graham moved from Ormiston Primrose to Dundee in 1985. A 5’11 striker he was a steady if unspectacular marksman for the ‘Dee.
   From 1982 to 1985 he flitted in and out of the Hibernian side and his return of 3 goals in 31 matches was probably a little less than was expected.

Hazel, John

League Cup

Europe

Between 1970 and 1974, John was a fringe player at Easter Road. A tricky forward he scored memorably against Hearts in a 2-1 Scottish Cup win at Tynecastle in 1971.
   In and out of the side his misfortune was to try and earn a place in the Edwards, O’Rourke, Gordon, Cropley and Duncan forward-line. However, John was a useful forward and was capped by the Scottish Professional Youth team.
   He later played with Morton having made 43 league outings for Hibs with 3 goals.

A tragic debutant, Ian suffered a compound fracture just 20 seconds into his debut at Berwick in January 1980. Signed as a 21 year old from Cambridge United he would make only two appearances for Hibs in his short career.

A French midfeilder his career began in 1982 with Sochaux. He stayed there for 11 years and gained French Under 21 recognition. He joined Marseille for one year before moving to Toulouse then in June 1986 moved to Spain with Toledo, before sampling Switzerland with Basle.
   Born in Paris in 1968 he joined Hibs in the summer of 1999 and made his debut in the opening league fixture that summer against Motherwell. Thereafter he was used rather sparingly before being released, having failed to fulfil the expectations placed on his experienced shoulders.

Herriot, Jim

Born in Airdrie in 1939, Jim joined Dunfermline from Douglasdale Juniors in 1958. He was a capable keeper, played in the 1965 Scottish Cup final, and went on to win 8 Scotland caps and several Under 23 awards.
   Sold by Dunfermline to Birmingham City in May 1965 at the same time as Jackie Sinclair went to Leicester he played in 200 matches for the Brummies before moving to Mansfield Town.
  He joined Hibs in 1971 from Durban City the South African side after Hibernian had endured a nightmare tour of the north of England in which young keeper Eddie Pryde had struggled to suggest he was ready for league action.
   Jim won a League Cup final medal and a Dryburgh Cup badge whilst with Hibs, he was also the last line of defence in the 1972 Scottish Cup final which Hibs lost 6-1 to Celtic.
   His name lives on in literary circles, having been ‘used’ by the author of the famous veterinary books set in the Yorkshire Dales. Many Scottish football fans remember him as the goalkeeper who blackened out the skin under his eyes to counter any glare.

Higgins, Tony

League Cup

Europe

A big bustling midfielder, who could also play up front, Tony joined Hibs in July 1972. He made his debut soon afterwards in a League Cup tie against Aberdeen and became one of Eddie Turnbull’s favourite players.
   Tony was born in Glasgow in 1954 and was a Glasgow Schools player before playing with Kilsyth St. Pats and Glasgow Amateurs. His career at Hibs went well and he scored a rather useful 23 goals in 104 league fixtures.
   In March 1980 Higgins moved to Partick Thistle and he later formed a formidable partnership with Andy Ritchie at Morton.

Higgins, Hugh

A useful junior with Bonnybridge and Tranent, Hibs had to beat off competition from Celtic and Sunderland to secure this young forward.
   His debut came in a 3-3 draw with Spurs in 1956, replacing the injured Gordon Smith he stunned all and sundry by scoring the final Hibs goal.
   Alas such a promising start was not to signal a lengthy career in green and white. Hugh went to Third Lanark on loan in December 1957 before making a permanent move to Dunfermline in November 1958. He actually played only 10 matches as a Hibee.

A product of the Hibernian youth system, young Paul was not quite able to convince Bobby Williamson that he was the defender of his dreams. There were three league outings at the end of season 2001/02 and a brief loan spell with the Blue Brazil but ultimately no more than that with Hibs.
