Hall Of Fame....

[Gorgiegreens]

Rough was a tremendous keeper, up there with goram and Leighton. A golden era , which we haven’t got close to repeating.

Goram, Leighton, Rough in that order for me at Hibs.

Alan Rough I think deserves to be there.
Between 1982 and 1986 he almost single handedly kept Hibs in the top league.
A tremendous goalkeeper.
By 1987 though he was long past it and Alex Miller quickly saw this and brought in Andy Goram to replace him.
Goram though wasn't Miller's first choice, that was a guy called Ian Andrews who was all set to sign for Hibs then Celtic came in for him.

Alan Rough did an unbelievable job in very poor Hibs teams.

I didn't think Rough was long past it though in 1987. He had a magnificent game at Ibrox early 1987. The real reason Rough had to go was that he and Miller didn't get on.... Goram though was a step up in quality. As good a keeper as we will ever see.

His performance in a 3-0 loss at Tynecastle was extraordinary.
