Derek Riordan vividly remembers the night a fresh-faced Lewis Stevenson made his Hibs debut 19 years ago - because typically he scored both goals in a 2-1 cup win at Ayr.The Hibee hero also recalls his fellow Leith legend confiding in him that he feared his Easter Road days were numbered just a few years later.
But hundreds of games and two cup winners’ medals later, Riordan says nobody can ever argue the fans’ favourite hasn't stood the test of time.
Riordan was sad to hear his former team mates Stevenson and Paul Hanlon are to end their association with the club this month after an astonishing combined tally of almost 1200 games.The duo will run out for the final time at the ground that has been home for two decades against Motherwell next Wednesday and Riordan hopes the punters turn out in numbers to give them a fitting reception.
