Ivan Sproule
Blessed with blistering pace and an explosive shot, Sproule was a hugely popular figure both in the dressing room and on the terraces during two spells with the club.
He earned legendary status after helping us win the 2007 League Cup with a 5-1 victory over Kilmarnock in the final at Hampden Park.
Sproule’s route to professional football was an unconventional one, having only turned pro at the age of 24 when he signed for Hibernian.
The pacey winger made 147 appearances for the Club – across two separate spells – scoring 22 goals and contributing 17 assists.
Arguably Sproule’s best moment in a Hibs jersey came in August 2005, when he came off the bench to score a 23-minute hat-trick at Ibrox in a 3-0 victory.
Tam McManus
McManus made his debut for Hibs in 1999 aged 19, and went on to play 129 times for the Club across seven seasons.
Whilst at Hibs, McManus spent time on loan at East Fife and Airdrieonians in the early part of his career before breaking into the team in the 02/03 season.
It was that season under Bobby Williamson, where McManus enjoyed his best spell with the Club, scoring 11 times in 35 league appearances.
The forward wore the number 27 on his Hibs debut and also wore the numbers 7, 11 and 17 whilst at the Club.
Stephen Dobbie
Stephen Dobbie spent the early part of his career with Hibs, making his debut at the age of 20.
After several substitute appearances, Dobbie bagged a hat-trick on his first start for the Club in a 9-0 victory over Montrose in the Scottish League Cup.
Dobbie went on to make 45 appearances over two seasons, scoring 7 times before joining St Johnstone on loan – a move that was made permanent in 2005.
The prolific striker went on to have a well-rounded career playing in the English Premier League and Championship, before enjoying a lengthy spell at Queen of the South where he scored 160 goals in 270 appearances for the Scottish side.
