Son of Alan McGraw, the ex Hibs and Morton striker, Mark began his senior career at Morton whilst his father was the boss. He had played only a handful of matches for Morton when Alex Miller signed him for Hibs in February 1990. He tore ankle ligaments not long into his Hibs career and was arguably never the same player again. After his 5 year stint with Hibs he turned out for several smaller clubs including Falkirk and Clyde. | ||||||||||||||||||

A Dundonian Dennis joined Hibernian from Dunkeld Amateurs and was from footballing stock - his father having played with Portadown. However, young Dennis struggled to break through at Easter Road and was restricted to a single outing in the 1949/50 season. | ||||||||||||||||||

The early part of Martin’s career was spent with Hamilton Accies and St Mirren. When Martin had gone to Stockport County in England he had earned Hamilton Accies £80,000. A tall, powerful and aggressive centre-half he had caught the eye with Accies and clearly Alex McLeish had been impressed for he wasted no time in luring Martin back to Scotland when the opportunity arose. He played nine matches in the 1999/2000 season but seemed to fall from favour fairly quickly. Four games were all he could manage the following season before he departed for Rotherham. | ||||||||||||||||||

A scorer in the 1991 League Cup final triumph, Tommy joined Hibs in December 1986 from Aberdeen. A towering centre-half he was good value at £30,000. He scored six League goals in that season and was probably at his peak that term. In all Tommy played 126 League games for Hibs. | ||||||||||||||||||

A clever young full back, Kevin joined Hibs in 1982 having played with Whitburn and Polbeth. He made his bow in May 1983 whilst still only 16 and began to impress all and sundry with his speed of thought and neat distribution. However, openings were limited at Easter Road and he moved on to Hamilton where he won league and cup medals. From Lanarkshire it was on to Hamilton Accies in a free transfer in July 1986. Later in his career he moved to Glasgow with Partick Thistle then on to Stenhousemuir. His spell at Hibs is perhaps, and unfortunatley, often associated with an attack he suffered on the pitch at Ibrox rom a drunken Rangers supporter. | ||||||||||||||||||

Goalkeeper Roddy McKenzie was signed by Hibernian as an emergency cover in August 1973. Regular keeper Jim McArthur was out injured with a broken bone in his hand and young Bobby Robinson deemed to inexperienced, manager Eddie Turnbull went into the transfer market and recruited Roddy. A twenty seven year old Irish international he was in dispute with Airdrie and thus easily recruited. Alas his debut was fairly traumatic as he blundered in a 1-4 defe4at ant Dumbarton. He did however recover and went on to make seven more appearances for Hibs. | ||||||||||||||||||

Joined Hibs in December 1980 from Morton and helped the club regain Premier League status. A rugged defender he took ‘few prisoners’ but there was more to his game than brawn and he displayed this by enjoying a lengthy coaching career after quiting playing. Prior to joining Hibs Billy had played with Kirkintilloch Rob Roy, Dunfermline, Raith, East Fife Queen of the South. Never a full-time player he was a civil servant and as such determined to avoid the potential pit-falls of fully professional football | ||||||||||||||||||

Joe McLaughlin is not small either. A clever centre-back he is now 35 and relies on his skilled reading of the game to a greater extent. He made his breakthrough in the 1970s with Greenock Morton, winning 10 Under-21 caps, and was a big buy for Chelsea. After six seasons at Stamford Bridge he moved to Watford then Charlton before coming back to Scotland. | ||||||||||||||||||

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. | ||||||||||||||||||

Born in Glasgow in 1981, Tom joined Hibs straight from school and his pacy, snappy, style of forward play made him a favourite with the Easter Road support. He had loan spells with Airdrie and East Fife, scoring 3 times in 11 games for the latter before really making his mark at Hibs. His Scottish Cup quarter final winner at Kilmarnock helped the club reach the 2001 Scottish Cup final and he won several Under-21 caps before settling into first team duties. However, he was rather unfortunate with injury and sustained a broken ankle against Dundee in January 2002 that hampered his career. From making his debut in May 1999 at Stranraer to playing a key role in the 2002/03 campaign he matured as a player and became a regular marksman for the side. | ||||||||||||||||||

Jackie was suffering dreadfully with his knees whilst at Celtic when Eddie Turnbull offered him the chance to come to Hibs. An introduction to Hibs physio John McNiven suggested that 24 year old Jackie could recover and McNiven’s expertise was vital because within months of arriving McNamara had to undergo a cartilage operation . In signing for Hibs what Jackie never knew throughout the negotiations was that Pat Stanton would be going in the other direction. So he arrived at Easter Road, to be greeted with simmering resentment. However, it all worked out in the end though and McNamara had 9 years at Hibs and received a testimonial against Newcastle United. There were many highs in his career at Easter Road including beating Aberdeen 2-1 in the 1979Scottish Cup semi-final. The three finals against Rangers stick out as does the quarter final win over Hearts at Easter Road. The low point was being relegated. Not noted for his goalscoring he got his first against Leicester City in a friendly in the Midlands and then went 64 games before popping up with a cracker in a cup-tie at Rangers. John Blackley freed McNamara when his knees were pretty well ‘gone’ and John McNiven had done all he could. Allan McGraw had just been made Morton manager convinced McNamara that he could continue at a less demanding leve. Little did Jackie know that a wonderful swan-song was about to unfold. McNamara, who had always hated playing at Greenock joined when the ‘Ton were bottom of the First Division but helped them embark on a 17 match unbeaten run. After retiring from the game McNamara would reflect on how he admired the part-timers at Morton who worked all day and then trained 3 or 4 nights a week., His son played with Dunfermline before moving successfully to Celtic and earning Scotland caps. | ||||||||||||||||||

A huge centre-half, John was Jock Stein’s first Hibernian signing, coming to the club from Celtic in April 1964. In short he was an uncompromising player who could frighten his own players as much as opposition players. Pat Stanton tells a lovely story of how John would turn to the Hibs players before a match and remark “Any of yous goes hidin’ today an’ you’ll have me to answer to”. He arrived at Easter Road with quite a reputation. His vendetta with the Celts John Hughes was a quirky but hugely entertaining side-show during his spell with Celtic. Hughes, a considerable success, was one of the first players at Celtic to own a car. He would drive past McNamee, who would be standing at a bus stop on his way to work. This fuelled the animosity that existed and this would spill out at training where Hughes and McNamee would go at each other with gusto. McNamee was legend for his rough-house tactics and was one booked for fighting his own goalkeeper, the notorious Frank Haffey, in a reserve match. With such a reputation it was therefore with considerable glee, and trepidation, that Hibs fans welcomed their new centre-half. He did not let them down. A veritable man-mountain he was as uncompromising as he was fearsome. He served Hibs from 1964 to December 1966 when he moved on to Newcastle United. | ||||||||||||||||||

Sold to Newcastle United in December 1949 having made a single outing in the 49/50 season. The big centre half made just 9 outings for United, but increased that total by 60 when moving to Barnsley and he was just as consistent for Brighton and Norwich whom he joined subsequently. Born in Glasgow in July 1927 his only problem at Easter Road was clearly the level of competition in what was a championship winning side. | ||||||||||||||||||

Tommy went from Burnbank to Motherwell when he was only sixteen but he failed to make the grade at Fir Park and moved to Leith Athletic. He then reverted to junior football with Kilbirnie Ladeside, where he won a junior cup badge. He made his Hibernian debut in a friendly against Bolton Wanderers in April 1952 and went on to register three League outings during that season. Unable to secure a regular slot in the first team, he moved to Dunfermline Athletic in the summer of 1953. | ||||||||||||||||||

Pitched into the Hibernian side as a raw 16 year old in 1982,he showed enough in his early games (both against Clydebank) to suggest a decent career could lie ahead. However, that career was to be spent laregely away from Easter Road. More readily associated with Falkirk, Partick Thistle and Dunfermline, Derek was a strong running midfielder with a degree of ‘bite’ to his game. | ||||||||||||||||||

Born in Kilmarnock in 1965, Andy played with St Johnstone, Alloa, Hamilton, and Killie before joining Hibs in March 1995. He came to Easter Road in a deal that took Billy Findlay to Kilmarnock in exchange. He was a fringe player with Hibs but considering he had only turned full-time with St Johnstone made up for lost time rapidly. Andy won a B International cap for Scotland against Wales and picked up two B&Q Cup winners badges from his time at Hamilton. Upon leaving Hibs he played with Raith Rovers, Ayr United and Morton during the infamous years of Hugh Scott’s chairmanship he moved to Clyde where he provided much needed experience in a team recruited largely from the ranks of Junior clubs. | ||||||||||||||||||
