Thoughts ?
Probably one of the best striker's I have seen at Easter Road.

...and the week after that I think he got a goal in a certain match too!and the following week he scored the only goal of the game in a 1-0 win over the huns at Easter Road.
Stevie Cowan for meThoughts ?

And Jimmy Boco.He was good, not great, but capable of the spectacular.
21st century cult hero for me rather than an all time great. He sits well with the likes of Benji, Zoomer, the Polar Bear and King Dom.
He was certainly more prolific Stevie .Stevie Cowan for me
I'm not just talking about his goal ratioNo chance, scoring rate at Hibs about half of that of Christian Doidge who loads are giving a hard time for not scoring enough!
Of the four players you mentioned, I would say Benji, Zemmama and Malonga were very talented players who done well for the club. Their problem in all three cases was attitude. Agree none of them are anywhere near all time Hibs greats.He was good, not great, but capable of the spectacular.

Yup Cowan that season, and Durie, Irvine before that, Archie after, but maybe the best was Kenny Who or Deek or GOCStevie Cowan for me
Fair enough - but nothing about him stands out for me apart from the spectacular goals - maybe you can remember more than I can - goals he created etc. But, not for me - nowhere near the best.I'm not just talking about his goal ratio
During my time watching Hibs, strikers as good or better than Zitelli include Alan Gordon, Ally McLeod, Gordon Durie, Stevie Cowan, Steve Archibald, Garry O'Connor, Paul and Keith Wright, Derek Riordan, Kenny Miller, Willie Irvine, Darren Jackson and recently Kevin Nisbet.

All about opinions of course .No chance, scoring rate at Hibs about half of that of Christian Doidge who loads are giving a hard time for not scoring enough!
He scored some lovely goals, but I wouldn’t put him down as one of the best strikers. From the time Zitelli signed for Hibs I’d say Mixu, O’Connor, Riordan, Stokes, Fletcher, Griffiths & Cummings were all better strikers.
What????never liked Ally that much.
Bugger missed Mixu and Sparky on my list.
mind him being quite slow...liked him likes..... but him and dury were excellant together....Stevie Cowan for me
Only saw him at the second half of his career with us, looked fat and lazy to my young eyesWhat????
ooops me too - seems there has been thousands of strikers (inc Stokes, Fletcher ... ) I rate miles ahead of Zitelli (obviously not Doige, despite his far superior strike rate at Hibs)Bugger missed Mixu and Sparky on my list.
Yes Ally McLeod often looked like a man doing an impression of someone wading through treacle but 99 goals in 208 appearances puts him alongside almost any other Hibs striker you care to mention. Maybe not the best Hibs player I've ever seen, but definitely one of my favourites.Only saw him at the second half of his career with us, looked fat and lazy to my young eyes
Difficult to mention Alan Gordon without including Jimmy O'Rourke imoDuring my time watching Hibs, strikers as good or better than Zitelli include Alan Gordon, Ally McLeod, Gordon Durie, Stevie Cowan, Steve Archibald, Garry O'Connor, Paul and Keith Wright, Derek Riordan, Kenny Miller, Willie Irvine, Darren Jackson and recently Kevin Nisbet.
Thuggishly elbowed me in the throat as David tried to pass his top to me more like itI have Zitelli’s shirt from the AEK game, spectacularly outjumped @southfieldhibby when he chucked it in the terracing at full time..
Two of the best as well!
I can remember liking Dirk Lehmann, record isn't very impressive though. So that might tell its own story ?
Quote of the week!Ye get to my age, you miss out whole eras!
I've got a decade on you and Deek would be number 1 for me too. So good.Best for me is a peak Derek Riordan
Wow man
The amount of goals from outside the box.....can't think of any other player in Scotland who did that on such a consistent basis
I'm 29 so forgive me for missing out others
