Hibernian Hall Of Fame - Front 2 Forwards Partnership - Discuss & Debate!
I just can't see beyond a Lawrie Reilly & Joe Baker front two.
Joe Baker playing for England whilst a Hibs player... Remarkable stuff.. More importantly his strike rate was incredible for us at Hibs in 2 spells. Also, i think i'm right in saying he scored 99 goals for Arsenal? A true Hibs legend. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few weeks before his sad death at Easter Road (1-0 10 Man Hibs v Yams Aug 2003) and what a Gent. Lawrie Reilly. The name 'Lawrie Reilly' just says it all. "Gie The Ba Tae Reilly" was the cry and with his sensational goalscoring record no wonder. Absolutely incredible stuff. I had the great honour to sit beside this true legend and Pat Stanton at a Hibs V Killie fixture a couple of years back (3-0 Deeks hatrick). Unlike me i kept my mouth firmly shut and just listened to the two of them.. I had hoped to get Derek Riordan in the team but i just can't see past this front two of Joe Baker & Lawrie Reilly. Others? |

Lawrie Reilly & Joe Baker would walk into a Scottish/English/British hall of fame so they'd be prime choices for a Hibs one.

Re: Hibernian Hall Of Fame - Front 2 Forwards Partnership - Discuss & Debate!
Out of the ones I've seen as an adult(ish
To view links or images in this forum your post count must be 5 or greater. You currently have 0 posts. ), I'm going to say Steve Archibald, Keith Wright, Riordan, and O'Connor all deserve at least a mention. With Darren Jackson just a wee bit behind them. As a bairn Ally McLeod was fecking magic. Lazy barsteward but a great player. Scored the best free kick I've ever seen when after getting made to re-take one he scored from, he simply put it in the opposite top corner. Now THAT'S pretty special (against Dundee maybe?)! Out of the ones I've never seen in the flesh or at least cannae mind of, Jimmy O'Rourke, and Alan Gordon again deserve at least a mention. But it's Lawrie Reilly & Joe Baker who pretty much have to win this imo. There's people born 50 years after he last played for us who are shouting Gie The Baw To Reilly nowadays ffs!

For the purpose of the debate though I'd throw in Stevie Archibald, Jimmy O'Rourke and Alan Gordon.

Re: Hibernian Hall Of Fame - Front 2 Forwards Partnership - Discuss & Debate!
Can we not have 5 subs with this team?
Say 1 defender 2 mid 2 forwards.Bugger to the goalie,we are Hibs,we attack! There has been a lot of special players mentioned that cant get in the team due to the excellence of legends. Baker and Reilly without a doubt.

Re: Hibernian Hall Of Fame - Front 2 Forwards Partnership - Discuss & Debate!
Alan Gordon, Jimmy O'Rourke, Riordan and Joe McBride snr would have been among the few who came close in my book but even they are eclipsed by a Baker/Reilly combo. Again I never did see Reilly playing but my Dad raved about him. Baker, I only saw during his second spell at Hibs but that was good enough for me.

Sorry; the Jimmy O'Rourke and Alan Gordon partnership as brilliant and exciting as it was has to be second to Lawrie and Joe.
So many great Hibees left out of the team! I'm hoping that there will a poll of all time dyed in the wool Hibees team as Jimmy has to get in that team somewhere! although the front two of Baker and Reilly qualify for that too. |

But come on buddy to use Riordans name in the same breath as TRUE HIBEES LEGENDS such as Baker & Reilly !!....... Maybe if he had stayed put or at least for another few seasons.... But as they say .... the rest is history..... However I must admit that of the strikers I have actually witness myself in the flesh wearing the grean & white of the hibees , then yes Riordan would be in .. |

O'Connor and Riordan would be my first choice but Mixu and Zitteli were also good and remember wee Tam and Brewster

Re: Hibernian Hall Of Fame - Front 2 Forwards Partnership - Discuss & Debate!
As with all my choices thus far, I'm only picking those I've seen in my hibee lifetime. Therefore my pick is Keith Wright and Derek Riordan. Both great natural goalscorers but I think they would have been a smashing partnership, what with Keef's power and hard work and Deek's eye for goal and free kick skills.
My final 11 then: Leighton Whittaker Rae Hunter Murphy Weir Sauzee Latapy Collins Wright Riordan |
