Most naturally gifted football player I ever saw, and I,ve been a Hibby for 50+ years. Never see the like again. Great memories i.e. Real Madrid and nutmegging Jim Baxter.

Before my time, but my uncle saw him play for both Hibs and Hearts and is very clear that Hamilton is the best player he's ever seen.
I have asked a lot of older guys about Willie Hamilton and they all say he was an incredible player.
