He had all the makings of a genius of a striker and that’s no exaggeration had a wand for a foot when on his game a real wasteSuch a shame for what could have been and for the lad himself as I seriously doubt he has invested the money he made in his career wisely. The lad was capable of moments of absolute genius on the field but was hampered by his lack of ability off the field. What the fuck is it with Hibs like; Georgie Best, Griff, Stokesie, Riordan, O Connor, Miller. I'd be demanding a recount if I was young Hendo.

Just ask Joe Hart if he had a wand of a left footHe had all the makings of a genius of a striker and that’s no exaggeration had a wand for a foot when on his game a real waste
He was brilliant back then but he lost his focus unfortunatelyHas had his remaining contact paid out, now a free agent, Terrible waste of an outstanding talent, I know he has mental heal issues, but he’s his own worst enemy…..
Thanks got the memories, the Huns skelping….the tying the Celtic scarfs around hun goalposts, wiping yir nose on hun corner flags, the winding up endless Huns
All the best in the next phase of your career

Hope so D.... 3 or4 years of talent left but maybe not 3 or years of fitness and discipline.Just ask Joe Hart if he had a wand of a left foot
Remember thiose two goals against the Auld Enemy ?
Best of luck Leigh Griffiths
The MLS will beckon for him, no doubt

See that the thing with players like him they tend not to invest any money or even put some away its all spent in the here and now got a feeling he will be toiling for a wage wen he's done playing he sbud maybe get over to the US for a total new start away from everybodyAs I’ve said before, LG’s hardest battle lies ahead, when his football career ends completely.
I think we all agree he has been his own worst enemy, but a lot of his problems stem from obvious mental health issues.
His love for the club was clear for all to see, when at the top of his game, easily the best Scottish striker by a mile.
He has given me many more great memories than bad, so I genuinely wish him all the best, particularly when he no longer has the routine of a professional footballer.
You just need to look at the likes of the Gascoigne’s of this world to see how mental health can destroy a person when the love and adoration is gone.
Good luck LG and thanks for the memories.
