David Gray

Whether you know him as ‘David’, ‘Sir David Gray’ or simply ‘SDG’, there’s not a Hibs supporter out there who will ever have anything but admiration for the humble hero who would never think of singing his own praises. Alan Stubbs’ first signing, few could have predicted that the Edinburgh native would go on to become one of the most important figures in Hibee history.

Quickly impressing with his consistency, determination and obvious leadership qualities, David was appointed club captain in the summer of 2015. May 21, 2016 is a date etched into the soul of everyone with Hibernian at heart – with David carving his own piece of history and ending 114 years of hurt with that header, two minutes into stoppage time at Hampden to secure the Scottish Cup.

As much as anyone, he’s helped shape the modern Hibernian as an important influence, on and off the park and continues to do so as part of the coaching team.

“I’ve been at Hibs for 9 great years and the transformation in Our Club’s Charity, the Hibernian Community Foundation, in that time has been remarkable. I’ve seen at first hand the great work they do supporting the local area and those most in need. I was honoured to be asked to be an Ambassador and I am really looking forward to supporting them and getting involved”
