Jabba's Comments |
Terry Hibbitt was always going to find it difficult to win a
regular place in the world class midfield that Don Revie had
assembled, but he was happy to play his part as a squad member and was
frequently on the bench, only getting one real long run in the side in
1967/68. He scored with his first touch on his debut, and picked up a
winners medal in the 1968 Fairs Cup Final. He became better known
after leaving Leeds, with good spells at Newcastle - with whom he made
it to Wembley in the 1974 FA Cup Final - and then Birmingham. He returned
to Tyneside in a swap deal that saw Stewart Barraclough go in the other
direction and had two good seasons before a persistent injury forced
him to retire from the professional game.
He spent some time with Gateshead, including a spell as their coach
in 1986, and finally achieved some international recognition with a
cap for the non-league England side. When he finally walked away from
the game, he ran a pub in his adopted north-east home until his untimely
death from cancer in 1994.
