Been out with him a few times, he's mentioned it real briefly and i cant remember what he said he's got stories for days though, my favourite was probably him telling me about being the first away goalscorer in the new Juve stadium as they played notts county to open it, he got a shirt im sure it was Pirlo's, the county players had been told not to try and interact with the Juve ones too much, no drinks in the club bar or anything like that, he snuck in to their changing room after the game to try and get the shirt signed, he said they were real cool and came over for a chat...but he found himself in the middle of the juve dressing room chatting with pirlo and buffon stood as casually as you like despite them being absolutely stark bollock naked without a care in the world he's got loads of stories about being out on the piss at away games and graham taylor sending people out to find him and him having to run for the team bus and stuff like that also seen him in a round of drinks be given a pint of cider by mistake, say "i dont drink cider" pour it over his own head and go off to the bar to get a beer... so hes still a pisshead...but he's a nice guy, easy to talk to, funny, you can just see the darker side with the drink 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Cracking article on David Platt. I think meeting him whilst he was at Villa and finding him to be a complete arrogant cock has damped my opinion of him over the years. But reading this, I stand corrected. Sir Graham uncovered a gem... https://stusfootballflashbacks.com/2020/07/23/crewe-calcio-consistency-the-remarkable-career-of-david-platt/amp/?__twitter_impression=true Edited July 21, 2021 by stewiek2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an impressionable ten year old he was one of my favourite players, his goalscoring record at Villa was phenomenal.

Keep us updated! Doyle-Hayes starts tonight for us in Andorra. Missed a lot of preseason so still getting his fitness back. They tried to kick us off the park in the first leg so hopefully the ref will protect us a bit tonight Edited July 29, 2021 by newhavenhibby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough they weren't as rough tonight! Mind you they had 2 of their worst culprits sent off in the first leg. Doyle-Hayes played for around 70 minutes and looked comfortable on the ball and sprayed some nice passes to both wings. Once he gets full fitness he looks as though he will be useful for us.

newhavenhibby Posted August 5, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 5, 2021 (edited) Doyle-Hayes, man of the match at the ground in our game v Croatian side Rijeka tonight. He'll have to play even better next week if we are to have any chance in the return leg. Edited August 5, 2021 by newhavenhibby 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd expect him to become an Irish international this season, he could overtake Hourihane in the pecking order too especially given the type of football Stephen Kenny wants to play.

A solid start to the season from Hibs too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newhavenhibby Posted August 8, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted August 8, 2021 Aye, just back from ER and again he was very good. Neat and tidy again and links play well. If he continues as he is, he won't be with us long. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Lots of kids fall to bits when released by premier league clubs. Doyle Hayes has character and ability. Took himself to Cheltenham and then St Mirren and has had a great start at Hibs. I’m Irish and id expect he’ll be called up at the next international break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You protect the club in the Championship play the kids when possible and maximise their potential and value. We never did that once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 We have Jed Steer, top young keep clearly talented. Play him, increase his value? Nope. Let's buy about 7 keepers. James Bree is a talented kid, lets' develop him. No just keep giving Hutton new deals. He can't move and is terrible but he's a senior pro We had some good youngsters man, didn't even get a shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Albert was always a class act, just seeing the smile on his face and watching him dance and fool around, it can’t fail to make you laugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
