Like Tommy Younger, Willie joined Hibernian from Hutcheson Vale and was a key member of the Hibernian defence in the 1950s. He played in the great European nights that saw Hibs reach the European Cup semi-finals.
Upon leaving Hibs Willie joined Raith Rovers but soon afterwards moved into coaching and was manager of Stirling Albion before joining Hibs as boss. One of his first acts was to bring young Stirling defender Erich Schaedler to Easter Road.

Born in Glasgow in 1931, Ally was destined to be one of the biggest figures in the history of Scottish football.
As a player he was a lanky outside left who was a useful performer wherever he played. He started with Third Lanark but a move to St Mirren saw him make such good progress that he was able to move to Blackburn Rovers. He scored 43 goals in just 193 league outings for them and played in an FA Cup final.
It was a quite a coup when Hibs signed him from Blackburn Rovers in July 1961.

A fairly sensational young striker with St. Mirren he served notice of his ability by scoring all four Saints goals in a 4-1 win at Rangers. That earned him a move to Southampton but he failed to settle on the South coast.
In December 1974 Hibs signed him and in so doing completed one of their sharpest pieces of business. He went on to play over 300 games as a Hibee and was a prolific marksman in the modern ‘defensively coached’ era. His debut came in a goalless draw at Airdrie in December 1974.
In the season that Hearts were relegated for the first time in their history, MacLeod scored a vital derby winner and his glut of goals late in the season ensured Hibs did not go down.
In all Ally scored ** goals for Hibs and he played in the 1979 Scottish Cup final. Born in 1951 he came from Larbert and settled there after his abortive spell at Dundee United where he was injured and unable to make a first team outing.

Born in Edinburgh in 1938, John joined Hibernian after a spell with Armadale Thistle and he made a stunning debut in 1957 as Hibs won 4-1 at Kilmarnock and laid to rest a 20 year bogey at Rugby Park.
His early career went well and a hat-trick in a 10-2 away win at Partick Thistle suggested he was likely to be a first team player for some time to come. He was capped at Under-23 level but was unfortunate to be in the full Scotland side massacred 9-3 at Wembley in 1961 (Pat Quinn also played in this debacle).
John moved to George Swindin’s Arsenal in July 1961 but the pace that had served him so well in Scotland was less effective in the top English league. That said he did score the first Arsenal goal in European football. From Arsenal, where he scored 23 goals in 101 league games, he moved to Aston Villa and was with them from 1964 through to 1967. His final port of call was Belgium with KV Mechelen (another ex Hibee, John Parke turned up here too). He completed his senior career with a stint at Raith Rovers in season 71/72.
A very tidy player John was perhaps under-rated in his time at Easter Road and his century plus of outings for both Arsenal and Aston Villa suggests a quality performer.

A product of Glasgow amateur football, Murdo joined Dumbarton in 1974 and had four years with the Boghead side before moving to Celtic in November 1978 for a fee of £100,000. His stay at Parkhead was highly successful picking up for League Championship medals, 2 Scottish Cup winners medals and 1 League Cup winners badge. He gained Under 21 and full caps for Scotland whilst at Parkhead.
A battling midfielder he was known for the power and accuracy of his long range shooting and he used this to good effect for Celtic and Scotland.
The Scotland caps continued when he had a spell in Germany with Borussia Dortmund. Joining in the summer of 1987 he won a German Cup medal and in so doing became the first Scot to do so.
He returned to Scotland with Hibs in October 1990 and promptly won a League Cup winners badge in 1991. He later entered coaching and made his mark with Partick Thistle and Celtic, serving under Wim Jansen at the latter. He then worked as a pundit for BBC Scotland.

A Danish international centre-half John was signed from Morton in July 1966. His early performances were said by some to be compromised by his insistence on staying in Greenock and travelling by train to Edinburgh. However, a move to Barnton soon settled him.
He returned to Denmark in the summer of 1968 to resume his career as an architect.

Born in Edinburgh in February 1950, he joined Hibs in 1966 from Salveson BC and by the time he had reached 18 he was a first team regular. In little over two seasons he made 45 league outings for Hibs and chipped in with 5 goals.
The 69/70 season saw him reach his peak at Easter Road and he scored twice in an impressive 3-1 win over Rangers. It wasn’t just Hibs that thought he looked good, Arsenal did too and in January 1970 they siagned him for £100,000.
With his long dark hair, good looks and youthful wing skills he was rather unfortunately compared to George Best. Arriving in London he was saddled with this impossible comparison but scored on his debut with a dazzling goal at Old Trafford. But 5 goals in 51 matches was not good enough for the Gunners and his career went into decline.
He followed his Highbury days with spells at Portsmouth, Motherwell, Fulham, Phoenix Inferno and, in a return to Edinburgh, Hearts.

Born in 1967 in the French town of Grenoble, Marinkov was signed by Alex McLeish as Hibs stormed towards promotion. He played his part (9 games and 1 goal) but left early the following season to revert to playing amateur football in France.
In France Marinkov had played with Annency, Martigue, Limoges, Raon L’Etape. He then tried his luck in England with Scarborough before joining Hibernian, but the feeling was that Alex did not relish being a full-time footballer and preferred the part-time option.

Few Hibs players have such an inauspicious start to their careers as Gordon Marshall. A highly rated goalkeeper he lost two goals within 6 minutes of his debut
He was signed in 1969 by Bob Shankly, having earned a Scotland Under-23 cap and played with Hearts, Newcastle and Nottingham Forest. Indeed he had won League and League Cup winners’ medals whilst at Tynecastle so it was clear that he knew his stuff.
After leaving Hibs he joined Celtic, Aberdeen and then Arbroath. His son (also called Gordon) became a noted goalkeeper too playing with the like of Kilmarnock and Celtic.

Signed from Queen of the South in 1963, Martin had been raised in Tranent and relished joining Hibs. Prior to playing with Queen of the South he had been at Alloa and gained renown for his heading ability and eye for goal.
He proved a great signing for Hibs, netting goals with relish. His haul of 53 goals in only 65 matches stands the test of time. He was with Hibs when Jock Stein was in charge and remained durin
John was sold to Sunderland in October 1965 and was an instant hit on Wearside, what’s more one month on from that move he was He scored 38 goals in 86 matches for the Rokerites then moved to Coventry and Nottingham Forest where he was equally prolific. He later played with Brighton and Crystal Palace and could reflect on a career that brought 3 Scotland caps, including a key role against the mighty Italians at Hampden Park when Scotland won famously 1-0 in November 1965

One of two Norwegian players signed in trying circumstances in 1978. Svein always appeared more likely to stay with Hibernian as he was a full internationalist and therefore more likely to acquire the, then, essential Department of Employment clearance. Svein had actually played for Norway against Scotland in a European Nations Cup match and held 7 caps. He made his debut along with Isak Refvik against Morton in a dramatic League Cup quarter final tie.
He was born in Kristiansen in 1952 and as well as his 7 full caps had 8 Under-23 caps. He was a teacher and signed from IFK Start.

A Hungarian Janos was signed by Bobby Williamson early in the 2002/03 season when Hibs endured a wretched start to the season. He has won 30 Hunagrian under 23 and 34 senior caps so was clearly a quality performer. Indeed, he had actually played at Easter Road in 1996 for Hungary under 23’s. He fitted in well at Easter Road and was a steady performer but alas, his stay lasted only a year before he returned to Hungary.

ddie left Dundee United to join Hibs in 1985. A versatile little player he was with Hibs until 1989 and in that time mad 109 league appearances. He was a sprightly and direct player, capable of playing as a scoring midfielder or a defensive full back. He moved to Brentford in a deal worth £165,000. He returned to Scotland fairly quickly when Falkirk acquired his services.

An exciting winger who enjoyed a marvellously lengthy career. He went from Camelon Juniors to Falkirk and was a huge hit before moving south. He cost Chelsea £34,000 in June 1985 and won a Second Division Championship badge. After a stint which had also brought two Wembley appearances, he returned to Brockville. His August 1991 transfer cost Falkirk £225,000.
It was Alex Miller who signed Kevin for Hibs, seizing upon the fact that the Bairns had been relegated and would inevitably have to trim their staff. Signed around the same time as Jim Leighton and Michael O’Neill he joined a Hibs team that reached a cup final and proved solid and dependable.
Ten days after the arrival of Jim Duffy as Hibs’ boss Kevin was on his way back to Falkirk. He reached a Scottish Cup final with the Bairns and won a Challenge Cup medal in what proved a fairly prolonged ‘Indian Summer’. Throughout his career the enduring quality Kevin brought to football was entertainment value.
One interesting story surrounds Kevin McAllister’s later career. He came back with Falkirk to play at Easter Road during Hibernian’s brief exile in that league and noted prior to the game that he would be up against Paul Lovering. Remarkably 16 years prior McAllister had played for Camelon Juniors alongside Paul’s father Frank Lovering.

A goalkeeper of considerable talent, Jim joined Hibs in 1972 from Cowdenbeath for £8,000. He saw Hibs contest a Scottish Cup final that season and return to Hampden for Dryburgh Cup success.
He made his debut against Dumbarton a few months later but had to be patient as he spent some time on the sidelines watching Mike McDonald put together an impressive run of outings.
By 1976 McArthur was beginning to establish his credentials. A physical Education instructor he later became an agent and was often seen at Easter Road in a professional capacity.
