	Hall, Alex	46/7		1	0	0	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
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.
	Hamill, Hugh S	80/1	Balloch Juv	6	1	0	3	0	1	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Was with 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.
	Hamilton, Brian	89/0 - 94/5	St Mirren	183	11	9	12	5	2	13	0	1	5	1	0	0	0	0
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, Donald M	53/4 & 54/5	Armadale Thistle	23	0	0	0	0	0	3	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Made 17 outings in the 53/54 season. Five appearances in the 54/55 season.
	Hamilton, John Turner	67/8 - 72/3	Cumbernauld United	53	5	11	20	2	5	7	0	0	2	1	0	2	0	1
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, William Murdoch	63/4 - 65/6	Hearts	50	0	15	6	0	2	6	0	4	0	0	0	13	0	5
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, Middlesborough and Aston Villa. He died tragically young and is remembered fondly as a rare and natural talent.
	Harper, Joseph Montgomery	73/4 - 75/6	Everton	69	0	26	18	0	16	3	0	2	6	0	3	2	0	3
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 Nijmejen (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 Patrick	92/3 - 98/9	Hutchison Vale BC	73	24	15	4	5	0	9	1	3	0	0	0	0	0	0
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	84/5 - 86/7	Dundee	12	15	4	0	3	1	0	3	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
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, Jimmy	54/5 - 57/8	Bo'ness United	36	0	11	7	0	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
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 James	98/9 & 99/00	Raith	18	15	6	1	1	1	2	3	1	0	0	0	0	0	0
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 Johnstone. 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.
	Harvey, Graham	82/3 - 84/5	Ormiston Primrose	21	12	3	2	1	2	1	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
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	69/0 - 73/4	Dunipace	35	9	3	10	1	1	3	2	1	0	2	0	2	0	0
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.
	Henderson, Martin Melville	77/8	Rangers	4	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	2	0	1
In early 1978 Hibs went to Rangers to secure the services of gangly striker Martin Henderson. A straight-forward, no frills centre-forward, Henderson had bagged his share of goals at Rangers but in truth never looked likely to create his own quota at Hibs. His spell as a Hibee was a three-month loan arrangement and he later played in the United States and with Leicester City in England. The sum total of Martin’s Hibs career is half a dozen matches
	Hendry, Ian	80/1 & 81/2	Cambridge United	1		0	0	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
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. His only other appearances for the club came the following season when he came on as a substitute against St Mirren and Celtic in League Cup games.
	Henry, Fabrice	99/0 -& 00/1	Basel	6	3	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
A French midfielder 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, James	71/2 & 72/3	Birmingham	57	0	0	18	0	0	9	0	0	6	0	0	3	0	0
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, Hugh	55/6 - 58/9	Tranent	10	0	0	6	0	0	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	0	0
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
	Higgins, John Wilson	52/3 - 56/7	Dalry Thistle	10	0	0	11	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Between 1954 and 1956 he made a dozen outings as a Hibee.
	Higgins, Lawrie J	49/0 - 52/3	Bo'ness United	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Played a single game in the 1950/51 campaign. Joined Aberdeen in 1953
	Higgins, Tony	72/3 - 79/80	Kilsyth St Pats	91	12	23	20	5	8	13	2	4	11	2	3	7	2	3
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.
	Hilland, Paul	99/0 - 02/3	Hibs Youth	3	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0

	Hogg, David Michael	63/4 - 67/8	Tynecastle BC	11	0	1	3	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	2	0	1
Joined Hibs as a 17 year old in 1963 but quickly gave up full-time football in order to work full time in Insurance. It was hardly surprising as he had shown an academic bent at Holy Cross Academy which led to him being offered a chance to studies languages at Edinburgh University. Given a free transfer in 1968 he moved to Dundee United. Hogg netted 1 goal in his 10 matches at Easter Road.
	Holsgrove, Paul	98/9 & 99/00	Brighton	9	9	1	2	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
During Alex McLeish’s reign a number of players enjoyed but brief cameo appearances for Hibs. Paul Holsgrove was one such player. Signed on the eve of the 98/99 First Division campaign he flitted in and out of the Hibernian midfield without ever imposing himself fully. Perhaps Paul can be accurately described as a ‘journeyman’ player having played with the likes of Aldershot, Luton, Millwall and Reading before coming to Hibernian.
	Houchen, Keith M	88/9 - 90/1	Coventry	51	6	11	5	0	1	6	0	4	4	0	1	0	0	0
Keith’s senior career began in 1977 and he quickly served a number of clubs including Hartlepool, Orient, York City, Scunthorpe and Coventry City. It was whilst with the latter that he gained national prominence; scoring in the 1987 FA Cup final against Tottenham Hotspur which Coventry won 3-2. He joined Hibs in a blaze of publicity and cemented his good reputation with a goal against Hearts within 25 minutes of his debut.
	Howie, Hugh	46/7 - 53/4	Newton Juniors	139	0	0	50	0	0	18	0	1	0	0	0	5	0	0

	Huggins, David	79/0 & 80/1	Tynecastle BC	3	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
Born in Edinburgh in 1962, Dave joined Hibernian straight from Tynecastle Boys Club. He made his goalkeeping debut against Morton in April 1980 and as a Scottish schoolboy cap was expected to show up well. He made three appearances in season 1979/80, but it was not a good season to make your Hibs bow as the club slid into the First Division; despite the presence (at times!) of George Best.
	Hughes, John	96/7 - 99/00	Celtic	72	2	4	6	0	0	5	0	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
John Hughes was actually aged 23 when he finally made it into the ranks of professional football, joining Berwick after an abortive spell with Arbroath and having reverted to junior football with Newtongrange Star. From Berwick Hughes, who was nicknamed ‘Yogi', moved to Wales with Swansea. Jim Jefferies signed Hughes for Falkirk and the big centre-half never looked back. He won two First Division championships with the Bairns and was a ‘man mountain’ of a captain. From Falkirk it was on to Celtic in a £250,000 deal. A Leith bred player, John was happy at Celtic but maintains he was delighted when Hibernian stepped in to sign him. Quickly made club captain he was the type of ‘hero figure’ that the Hibernian support was able to establish a huge rapport with. John helped Hibs battle out of the First Division but as father time crept on was allowed to leave and join Ayr United. Remarkably he was in the Ayr side that dumped Hibs from the League Cup in the 2002 semi-final.
	Hughes, Pat	54/5 - 63/4	Whitburn	68	0	0	5	0	0	3	0	0	6	0	0	0	0	0
A tall left sided player who joined the club in 1955 from Whitburn Juniors. Despite never being one of the ‘big’ names at Easter Road he did nevertheless accumulate a respectable 68 league matches in his 8 years at the club.
	Hunter, Gordon	83/4 - 97/8	Musselburgh Windsor	335	6	7	35	0	1	29	0	0	4	0	0	0	0	0
Gordon had a strange start to his Hibs career. Bertie Auld signed him in 1983 and 24 hours later Auld was sacked! Fortunately Pat Stanton kept Hunter on and 13 years of loyal service followed. A wonderfully perceptive centre-half he was also note for his fairness in his desire to win. Picking highlights from such a lengthy career is never easy but a few do stand out. In August 1994 Gordon scored the only goal of a derby game at Tynecastle that gave Hibernian their first win over Hearts in 23 attempts. Gordon was the lynch pin in Alex Miller’s defence and won a League Cup winners medal in 1991, Hibs having beaten Rangers 1-0 at Hampden in an epic semi-final. After 13 years service he was granted a testimonial and Coventry City provided the opposition.
	Hunter, William	68/9 - 70/1	Detroit Cougars	11	1	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	0	0
Joined Hibernian in 1969 following a spell in America with Detroit Cougars, but it was as one of Motherwell’s Ancell Babes that he had made his name. How unfortunate that Willie did not join Hibernian as a youth for he was a keen Hibs fan and a native of Edinburgh’s Abbeyhill district. Nevertheless he made light of his late arrival and gave some inspired performances in 1969. His debut came in February against Clyde and he nabbed his first goal for the club against Morton. In truth his role was helping to bring on the younger players around him but perhaps Willie had arrived too late for he soon drifted from the picture. He travelled to South Africa to end his playing career and then was assistant manager at Portsmouth to his former ‘Well team-mate Ian St John. He later managed Queen of the South and Inverness Thistle in his own right.
	Hurtado, Eduardo	01/2		4	8	1	0	0	0	1	1	1	0	0	0	0	0	0
An Ecuadorian centre-forward it appears that Eduardo (or ‘The Tank’ as he was nicknamed) was past his best when he joined Hibs. Alex McLeish signed him as Hibs had made a faltering start to the 2001/02 season but sadly the big centre was unable to reverse things. He stood at 6’3” weighed over 14 stone bur the important statistic was that he had scored 43 goals in 71 international outings for Ecuador. Ulises De La Cruz, the Hibs full back, was a welcoming team-mate for Eduardo. Hurtado was seen as a direct replacement for Mixu Paatelainen who had moved to Strasbourg and Craig Brewster who was out injured. Having played with Colo Colo (Chile), Los Angeles Galaxy and New England Revolution in America and Liga Deportivo Universitario of Quito in Ecuador as well as St. Gallen in Switzerland much was expected of him. Ultimately Hurtado proved slow and cumbersome and other than goals against St Johnstone and Stranraer did little to impress. He was released when Bobby Williamson took over from Franck Sauzee.
	Hutchinson, Bobby E	77/8 -79/80	Dundee	57	10	13	8	0	0	9	2	0	3	1	0	0	0	0
Signed in November 1977 from Dundee in the deal that took Erich Schaedler to Dens Park. Bobby was a forward with an eye for goal and made his Hibs debut against Partick Thistle at Easter Road in November 1977. Bobby had a bit of a purple patch in late 1978, scoring in 3 consecutive league games and overall he bagged 13 goals in 68 league matches. Born in Glasgow’s Gorbals district in 1954 his previous clubs had included Queens Park juniors, Aberdeen Lads Club, Montrose and Dundee.
