A Youngster who made his debut as a substitute against Livingston in April 2004. Touted as a utility player who could play both defence and midfield, he stood out from the crowd by dint of his shcok ov vivid blond hair. Born in Glasgow in 1987, he was a product of the clubs youth system. | ||||||||||||||||||

Paul’s father Jimmy Kane was on Hibs books briefly before moving to Cowdenbeath in November 1959 without ever having played a league match. Paul on the other hand made over 200 outings as a Hibee and became one of the most popular players of the modern era. Paul joined Hibs in 1982 and as a life long fan brought up in Leith was delighted to do so.His game contained plenty of energy and sufficient strength to make him as combative a midfielder as any in the game at one stage. By 1986 he was part of the Hibs side that lost the League Cup final to Aberdeen, indeed Aberdeen knocked Hibs out of the Scottish Cup at the semi final stage and Kane in later years would say that facing the experienced Alex McLeish, Willie Miller and Jim Leighton came just too soon for a young Hibs team.. October 1987 gave the Hibs daft Paul one of his finest memories. He scored the winning goal at Easter Road as Hibernian defeated Hearts 2-1 and - in an era in which Hearts largely held the upper hand - it was clearly a special moment. Kane spent nine seasons at Easer Road before moving on to Oldham then Aberdeen before he left to join Viking Stavanger of Norway in Scotland’s first ever Bosman transfer, just before John Collins, another ex Hibee, followed a similar path from Celtic to Monaco. | ||||||||||||||||||

Signed in 1938 from Kirkintilloch Rob Roy by manager Willie McCartney. He quickly became the regular Hibs left half but like most players of that era saw his career badly disrupted by the war. In 1941 he helped Hibernian defeat Rangers in the final of the Scottish Summer Cup and in 1947 was on duty as Hibs went down to Aberdeen in the Scottish Cup final (despite the gift of a first minute goal!). Capped against England in a war-time international in 1943, he added a Scotitsh League cap in 1947. He was a championship winner with Hibs too and it was only natural after such a lengthy career as a Hibee that he should graduate to the coaching staff. He made a successful move in electing in 1959 to join Bob Shankly at Dundee as they won the league in 1961. Later he would manage Falkirk and then coach at Partick Thistle | ||||||||||||||||||

One of the braves goalkeepers ever to serve Hibernian, Jimmy was signed by Willie McCartney in very unusual circumstance. He played as a fifteen year old in a schools match at Easter Road and was spotted from the stands. Thereafter he was loaned out to Ormiston Primrose in 1938 but his Hibs debut came while he was still only fifteen - against Chirnside United. Sadly his career was badly compromised by the war, but both before and after the hostilities he shone. Tall, strong and highly mobile Kerr was a fine keeper and a reassuring presence. During the war years Jimmy served in the RAF but managed to play first team football when on leave and he was in the Hibees side than won the Summer Cup final against Rangers in 1941. A plumber by trade, he played in what was quite clearly a different era. Quality players of his age like Bobby Nutley, Sammy Kean, and Arthur Milne worked in the Leith shipyards during the war, while Davie Shaw was a miner and Tommy McIntyre worked away from football as a press photographer.. There was an element of irony in Kerr finally losing his place to understudy Tommy Younger. Both would eventually join the Board of Directors at Easter Road when Tom Hart was in charge of affairs! | ||||||||||||||||||

Initially on Meadowbank Thistle’s staff, Rab reverted to non-league football with Whitehill Welfare before Hibernian signed him in 1978. H made his debut against Rangers at right back just weeks later and impressed all with his composure. However, he rarely scaled those heights again was destined to be a fringe player at Easter Road. His short career at Hibs ended when he was granted a free-transfer and he moved on to St. Johnstone. He then managed to get sent off during his pre-season debut! | ||||||||||||||||||

Broke into the Hibs side in the 1960/61 season and returned the most impressive figures of 10 goals in only 11 league matches. Considering that he also scored against Barcelona and Roma in our Fairs Cup adventures it was quite a season for Bobby. The following season he had only 6 league starts and it was clear that he was not going to be the answer to the post-Joe Baker era. He went to Greenock Morton in September 1962. From Scotland it was to Canada where he played with Toronto City and Hamilton Steelers before the lure of Scotland called and he joined Raith Rovers. He was a reliable centre-back for Rovers in the same side as Ian Porterfield who would later make a name for himself with Sunderland at Wembley in 1973 | ||||||||||||||||||

But for a brief stint at Easter Road Billy Kirkwood would surely have been a one-club man and that club would have been Dundee United. He joined the Tannadice outfit in 1976 and proved himself a versatile performer rattling in 67 goals in almost 400 outings despite many of them being as a defender. He won a Premier Division Championship badge in 1983 with United as well as two League Cup winners medals. He moved to Hibernian in 1986 and made his debut in the ‘Souness match’. Impressively strong and economical he was soon appointed club captain but he his stay was short and he returned to Dundee United. He later coached in the game and managed Hull City and Dundee United | ||||||||||||||||||
