	Sar-Temsoury, Hakim	00/1	Nantes	0	1	0	0	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Alex McLeish loved to dabble in the transfer market and young Hakim was one of his bolder steps. He had a substitute outing in 2000, when he replaced John O’Neil in a game at Easter Road against Motherwell. He was allowed to return to France shortly after this,
	Sauzee, Franck Gaston	98/9 - 01/2	Montpelier	76	1	13	2	0	0	10	0	3	1	0	0	0	0	0
Raised in the small French fishing village of La Begude near Marseille Franck was just 17 when he joined Sochaux. After cutting his teeth he then moved to Marseille and spent five highly successful years there wining the French ‘double’ of League and Cup in his first season. The highlight however was wining the European Cup in 1993. From Marseille, which suffered in the wake of owner Bernard Tapie’s fall from grace, he joined Atalanta Bergamo in Italy; signed by the renowned Marcello Lippi. Things did not work out in Italy for Franck and he was sold to Strasbourg and stayed there until he was 31 when he moved to Montpellier. For such a player to come to Easter Road would at one time have been unimaginable. It was not just as a star in domestic football that Franck had shone. He had 39 caps for France and had scored 9 goals. He was in short a top class international footballer. Signed by Alex McLeish in 1999, whilst Hibs were in the First Division, Franck revelled in the freedom and responsibility he was given at Easter Road. He helped the club win that First Division in 1999 and in 2001 led the club out for the Scottish Cup Final against Celtic. Sauzee had all the skills of a top international star. He could play in midield or as sweeper and with equal impact. His long range passing was quite awesome as was his ability from the dead-ball situation and some of his goals for Hibernian were quite thunderous efforts. Alas when then Hibs boss Alex McLeish moved to Rangers, Franck was placed in the managerial chair. This was the natural move and it would have been ludicrous for Hibernian not to have offered the post to such a huge international star on their own pay-roll. However, things did not work out and after a sad few months (69 days in total), in which the nadir was losing to First Division Ayr United in a Hampden semi-final Franck was sacked as boss. Best to remember him as the truly legendary player he was. The song that rolled down from the terraces “there’s only one Sauzee” is the more fitting memory of a wonderful talent.
	Schaeldler, Erich Peter	69/70 - 77/8	Stirling Albion	292	8	2	67	0	2	28	2	1	25	0	0	13	0	0
	Schaeldler, Erich Peter	81/2 - 84/5	Dundee	292	8	2	67	0	2	28	2	1	25	0	0	13	0	0
In two spells with Hibernian Erich became a cult hero. A solid full-back he had tremendous fitness and was guaranteed to give 100% week after week. Erich had started out with Peebles Rovers and Melbourne Thistle before joining Stirling Albion and it was from the latter that he joined Hibs in 1969. By the time the Turnbull’s Tornadoes era was off and running in the early seventies, the full back pairing of Brownlie and Schaedler was a solid foundation in the Hibs team. To Erich’s two spells with Hibernian can be added stints with Dundee and Dumbarton. Erich was capped by Scotland whilst a Hibee, against West Germany in 1974. He won a League Cup medal with Hibs and played in the Scottish Cup final in 1971. Whilst at Dundee we contested a league cup final and picked up a First Division Championship badge. Tragically Erich died in 1986 when aged only 34. His parents were German but he was born in Biggar where his father had been a prisoner of war.
	Scmugge, Thorsten	96/7		0	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
A German midfielder, Thorsten made just one outing as a Hibee, and that was against Aberdeen at Pittodrie in September 1996. He was alson booked making his only appearance that little bit more noteworthy.
	Scott, Alexander	67/8 - 69/70	Everton	38	2	2	1	0	0	2	0	0	8	0	0	0	0	0
A dazzling winger as a youngster Alex made his name at Rangers , whom he joined in March 1955. He won four league championship medals and 11 Scotland caps before moving to Everton in 1963. Whilst at Goodison he added to his honours collection; winning both League and FA Cup medals and continuing his Scotland career. In September 1967 he became a high-profile Hibs signing and although clearly in the veteran stages of his career he still showed occasional flashes of brilliance. He ended his senior career in his home town of Falkirk. His brother Jim also played with Hibs and the two were at one point business partners in Falkirk.
	Scott, Alistair Black	75/7 - 77/8	Rangers	28	10	4	8	0	5	1	1	0	3	0	0	3	0	0
A tall, strong running forward Ally seemed to fall between two stools and it was never quite clear if he was a winger who enjoyed playing inside, or a centre forward who drifted wide. He had started his career at Glasgow University and Queen’s Park and then spent a couple of years at Rangers before joining Hibernian in the deal that saw Ian Munro head to Ibrox and Graham Fyfe journey to Edinburgh. In the 1976 League Cup campaign he was amongst the goals and his clever, often speedy play, served Hibs well for a short period. After his stint at Easter Road Ally moved to Morton and in truth he was a much better player in Benny Rooney’s doggedly determined side than he had been in the green and white of Hibs.
	Scott, Jim	58/9 - 66/7	Bo'ness United	171	1	47	43	0	16	10	0	4	12	0	1	20	0	7
Brother of the aforementioned Alex, Jim was twice capped by Scotland whilst a Hibee. He had joined Hibs in October 1958 from Bo’ness United. Born in Falkirk he stood at 5’8” and although not the strongest he had an uncanny sense of balance. A clever player he could ‘thread the needle’ with his accurate passing and was equally capable of beating a man and homing in on goal. He was famously one of two Hibs players to score 4 goals in an 11-2 rout of Alloa in September 1965, the other being Neil Martin. In August 1967 he was sold to Newcastle United and whilst on Tyneside he won a Fairs Cup medal when United annexed the 1969 trophy. Later in his career he played for Crystal Palace and Falkirk before retiring and buying a bar in his home town.
	Shannon, Robert	96/7 98/9	Motherwell	6	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Started his career with Dundee and stayed there for over 250 matches in 9 years before moving to Dunfermline. It cost Dunfermline two players (Ian McCall and Eddie Gallacher) plus £125,000 to move him. A former Under-21 cap he was versatile enough to play either in midfield or as a full-back. He then played for Motherwell for several years before making a 1996 move to Hibernian. The Shannon career to an end with a stint as player manager of East Fife.
	Shaw, David	46/7 - 49/50	Grange Rovers	85	0	0	19	0	0	12	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
In 1939 David Shaw joined Hibs from Grange Rovers and as the date suggests his subsequent career would be interrupted by the Second World War. A full back who could play either right or left back he built a wonderful partnership with Jock Govan and both players won a championship medal in 1948 after losing in the Scottish Cup final to Aberdeen one year earlier. Indeed Davie captained Hibs to the 1947/48 championship. He left Easter Road in 1950 to join Aberdeen and played for the Dons until 1953. Upon hanging up his boots he joined the coaching staff and he worked in various capacities at Pittodrie until 1967. Twice Shaw featured for Scotland in sides with two Hibernian full -backs. The first occasion was in April 1948 when he paired with Jock Govan against England and then in October he lined up alongside Hugh Howie for a rare Hibs double. As if that were not a good enough story then consider the fact that he had taken over from his brother (Jock) at full back, a rare international feat indeed! His older brother was the legendary Jock ‘Tiger’ Shaw of Rangers. He died in October 1976 when aged only 60 and had spent his final few years working in a paper mill near Aberdeen.
	Shevlane, Anthony Christopher	67/8 - 70/1	Celtic	65	1	1	17	0	0	1	0	0	8	0	0	0	0	0
Signed by Bob Shankly in the summer of 1968, red-headed Chris was a full-back who had capped Scotland at Under-23 level but been surprisingly released by Celtic. He went on to make 65 outings as a Hibee between 1968 and 1971. He picked up a League Cup runner-up badge whilst at Easter Road which complimented his earlier medal gained with Hearts. His capture was something of a coup in Edinburgh as he had started his career at Tynecastle and played for seven years with Hearts before moving to Celtic after apparently retiring through injury. He did not succumb to injury however, went to Celtic and then on to Hibs. In 1971 Hibs freed him and he moved to Morton where he stayed until 1973
	Shields, Jay	03/4 - 06/7	Youths	10	7	0	1	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

	Simpson, Billy	63/4 - 69/70	Edina Hearts	45	1	0	9	0	0	3	0	0	3	0	0	11	0	0
Signed from Edina Hibs in 1963, he managed a clutch of games in the mid 1960’s. However after little over forty appearances in seven seasons he moved to Falkirk and from ther eon to Albion rovers, Alloa and Cowdenbeath
	Simpson, Ronald Campbell	60/1 - 54/5	Newcastle	123	0	0	22	0	0	9	0	0	14	0	0	0	0	0
One of the most remarkable stories in post war senior football belongs to Ronnie. Here was a man who made his debut as a 14 year old, and his Scotland debut as a 36 year old. Born in Glasgow he joined Queen’s Park as a schoolboy and made his league debut for them against Hibernian in August 1946, but he had already kept goal for the Spiders in a first team game as a 14 year old. He stayed at Hampden for 5 years before making the short journey over the hill to Third Lanark and then on to Newcastle United. He won two FA Cup winners medals with Newcastle and was 29 years old when Hugh Shaw signed him for Hibernian in October 1960. Agile and a good shot stopper he was very popular at Easter Road but did not get on with Jock Stein and left for Celtic. Imagine his horror then when Stein duly arrived as Celtic boss a few months later! However, there was an extremely happy ending to this story. Stein and Simpson became reconciled and shared in the remarkable Lisbon Lions triumph as Celtic won the European Cup (and indeed everything they entered) in 1967. Ronnie’s father Billy, had been a centre-half with Rangers so quite clearly his career was interesting to say the least!
	Skinner, Justin	97/8 - 99/00	Bristol Rovers	30	2	2	3	0	1	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
A combative midfielder, Justin was signed by Alex McLeish at the tail end of the 1997/98 season as Hibs struggled in vain to stay in the Premier Leaugue. The following season he played his part in helping the club gain promotion, but his aggressive style was never fully appreciated or admired by the Easter Road faithful. He was sent off along with ex-Hib Gareth Evans in a 3-1 win at Airdrie in the autumn of 1999 as Hibs battled towards promotion and tended to enjoy a ‘stop-start’ career in green. He left Hibernian to join Dunfermline Athletic and served them for two years before joining Brechin City in August 2002. Prior to playing with Hibs he had served Bristol Rovers, Bournemouth, Wycombe and Wimbledon.
	Slavin, Tommy	57/8 - 59/60	Lesmahagow	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
An inside left who joined Hibs in 1957 from Lesmahagow Juniors. He played two matches in the 57/58 season
	Smart, Allan Andrew	39479		2	3	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
A tall and rangy centre forward, Allan was signed on loan by Alex McLeish. The big striker managed only one goal in his five outings. He later made a permanent move to Dundee United.
