Fame game for Hibs legends

Easter Road kids David Wotherspoon and Danny Galbraith met former club captains Jackie McNamara and Pat Stanton, who are among the first to be inducted into the newly-created Hibernian FC Hall of Fame.

McNamara and Stanton will take their place along with other club legends at a gala dinner to be held at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange on Friday, 15 October.

The Hall of Fame has been established by four key organisations, the Hibernian Historical Trust, the club's former players' association, the supporters' association and the club itself to celebrate and commemorate players, managers and other worthy individuals who have made Hibs what they are today. The other inaugural inductees will be Michael Whelehan, a founder of the club and its first captain, James McGhee, the first Scottish Cup-winning captain and the first Hibs players to gain international honours.

Harry Rennie, one of the few player to be honoured at international level both as a goalkeeper and outfield player, Hugh Shaw, one of the club's most successful-ever managers, each member of the Famous Five, Gordon Smith, Bobby Johnstone, Lawrie Reilly, Eddie Turnbull and Willie Ormond, prolific striker Joe Baker, and Arthur Duncan, who made a record 446 League appearances will also be inducted.

In addition, former chairman Harry Swan, described as the architect of the modern Hibs, and club owner Sir Tom Farmer, who rescued the club from extinction 20 years ago, will be similarly honoured.
