  • Players – Terry Hibbitt – a Wayward Genius
    Players – Terry Hibbitt – A wayward genius Terry Hibbitt‘s impressive entrance into senior football hinted that he could be one of the most glorious talents to emerge from Leeds United‘s golden generation of the Sixties. He was given his first team debut as an 18-year-old against Nottingham Forest on 19 February 1966, coming on as a first half substitute for Paul Madeley. Within minutes of taking the field Hibbitt scored a stunning goal, lobbing goalkeeper Peter Grummitt from 20 yards. For the next three years the talented left winger continued to show rich potential whenever given an opportunity by Don Revie, but he disappeared into the cul-de-sac of reserve team football after the talented Eddie Gray established himself as Revie‘s preferred choice on the left flank. A £30,000 transfer to Newcastle United in 1971 gave Hibbitt the chance of reviving his career, and he used the platform to give clear evidence of his prowess in a playmaking role. Hibbitt‘s younger brother Ken, born on 3 January 1951 and an England Under-23 cap, also enjoyed a long and successful professional career, mainly at Wolves (1968-84), with spells at Bradford Park Avenue, Seattle Sounders, Coventry City and Bristol Rovers. Frail of build and bandy of leg, Terry Hibbitt did not have a classic athlete‘s build, but he was an outstanding midfielder, playing cultured and intelligent football. He possessed a great range of passing skills and an instinctive feel for the through ball which benefited Malcolm Macdonald among others. Toon midfield colleague Terry McDermott: ―Hibby had a left foot that was like a magic wand.

    BAGGIE SHORTS West Bromwich Albion London Supporters Club Issue 6 Season 15/16 byEDITORIAL Di Lemma our Baggies Shorts Welsh correspondent Hello Boyos I’m writing this on the 20th March and there are certain burn- ing issues that need to be addressed. Suddenly we had come good----wins against Everton, Palace and Manure and an excellent performance bringing a draw against the leaders Leicester. Followed by a candidate for dross of the season in the match against a very poor Norwich team. Oh, in case you didn’t know, we contrived to lose it 0-1, at the Hawthorns. 1) What are we to do about the future of our Tone? I imagine he was happy to walk in the summer but then along came the tiny (no pun intended) matter of losing 3.5 million squids to that lovely man who runs the Palarse - a real gent. So now he’ll want to stay unless he gets a better offer from a promoted club (or Norwich or Newcastle, if they go). And what do you think of a geezer who trousers 3.5 million and walks and who is definitely not ‘Arry, or his dog? The argu- ments seem to be: he’s kept us up, so shut up all you moaners; you will regret getting rid of him; we will always be safe in the Prem with Tiny; he has never been relegated; teams like us have to survive. Or: like to see some football more than occasionally; what’s happening to the Albion tradition?; if Leicester, Watford, Bournemouth and Stoke (YES STOKE) can not only survive but do well playing attractive footie, why can’t we?; TP and Big Sam are the dinosaurs of modern football, with their giant back 4, normally made up of 4 centre-halves.
