James Hird Living Legend Compilation Part 1

[SunderZz]

I love this man so much, he is my hero

[InFiiLtRaTor]

I was at that West Coast game where Hird kicked the winning goal! Best game I've ever been to!

[aekara071]

natural talent .. but would he have made it in todays game, i dont think so

[Willace666]

Why do people not understand that the footy is way better without backing music?

[kulaps0406]

james hird is collingwoods nightmare!!!!

[ppod2010]

Definitely one of the best two or three I will ever see, and I'm already 50 years old!!

[kadaitcha72]

Clearly as a player & a person he's the best.I know carey & ablett we're game breakers but look at the crap they did off the field.Hird could play anywhere on the ground as he could read the play & win the footy.True credit to his determination & commitment.

[014jacko]

why would people dislike this?

he was one of the best players to ever play the game.

[DillZ91]

champion. should be in the AFL hall of fame imo.

[addycorp2]

silky mf

[shanetomlong]

[curfewrukidn]

[kok123]

[rexyoutub]

fuck u mate

i smash ya

pussy kunt

[TheMike1999]

his kids go to our school

[nickw147]

Probably one of the best "readers" of the ball. Knew what it was doing and how the ball would react, the guy was a genius and a brillaint captain.

[rexyoutub]

wtf u on bout kunt

aussie fuck kunts up easy as kunt

james hird fuck u up

james hird fuck up all of ireland

james hird fuck up who ever the fuck he likes

kunt.

[JFK76LANGER]

he is ok, but would not survive in the Irish game.

[JFK76LANGER]

Pure class from the australians once more.

[lilbennyt]

you dont know anything about the game,and you call hirdy ok, hes a genius on the field, a ten mintue video doesnt sum up one of the best footballers ever

[Shine0nCrazyDiamond]

he would dominate it.

[theboxmike]

lol are you joking?? James hird is an absolute living legend. So much natural talent.....

[bakes005]

No cause he'd be bored stiff at the lack of competition

[jayzo4444]

absolute fucking legend

[thewarriors101]

man i miss hird wen he left bombers lost the spirit of the club but we got some young guns coming up like angus monfries nd them black fellas

[Melb4eva]

greatest player to have ever lived!

[Swanaustralia]

Great player. Shit Tribute Video. surely he had better highlights than that

[theboxmike]

Hird was just amazing IMO did everything a footballer could possibly do, played in 2 premierships captained one. won a brownlow won many Best and Fairests. and so on

[gossiboy101]

james hird an absolute legend of the game he revolutionised afl football and i would place him in the league of wayne carey and gary ablett but all 3 of them may be lucky to scrape into the top 10 of all time players like John Coleman Chas Brownlow and Dick Reynolds they were the 3 best 2 ever lay the game; Coleman 537 goals 98 games Dick reynolds 250 games 3 brownlow medals and Chas Brownlow who has the most prestigious medal in the game named after him

[obebe11]

I love when Hilly made his little cameo about the west coast game hahaha

[dbmmagic]

i think wat seperates hird from the other freaks of the game such as ablett and carey is his off-field persona.. thats why hird will earn a spot in the hall of fame a lot quicker than those two even though they each equally deserve it

he's a good bloke whos not up himself and is quite intelligent.. i think fox sports made a huge mistake sitting hird next to mike sheahan on "the couch" because it exposes the fact that sheahan has no idea about footy and no credibility

[thecoffeebob]

Hird had the ball on a string. There is obviously some anti-bomber fans here (I follow the hawks). There has only been maybe 3 other players in the last 30 years with his ability, and Wayne Carey isn't one of them. Gary Ablett, Malcom Blight, James Hird and Paul Kelly. (I would love to add Johnny Platten, but i'd only be kidding myself)

[ferrel81]

dude, your an idiot, and not just because there are many other players equal to or better than james hird, but because the three players you've named are actually four!! in the last 30 years, hird is definitely top 10 but no way top 5. carey is undoubtedly top 3 along with ablett and leigh matthews.

[thecoffeebob]

Actually, Penarse, 1 of the four I mentioned was hird. i named him and 3 OTHERS. And no, Carey isn't top 3. You don't know your footy sunshine.

[lilbennyt]

hird is great but ablett sr is the best.

the duck was no good

[MasonHindell]

Duck was no good, that is silly.

Carey was a good player and a prick of a person

[danraeari]

james turd has ears like dumbo the elephant and a huge pigeon chest.

[dbmmagic]

i love fishes reaction at 3:36

[crita123]

hirdy = Legend my hero

[tulipolar]

LOL! HIRD > CAREY

[theboxmike]

Jimmy hird = Best

[mat00012]

hird is way better because he can play any position and is a leader, also he manages to keep it in his pants

[lintonballer3]

champion

[xxxsho2]

is that guy being serious? CAREY WAYNE CAREY! LMAO thats gotta be the funniest thing ive heard for a long time

[nicholasjewell]

r u kidding me beamer22 carey ur a dumb ass

[Beamer22]

Where's Gary Abletts brownlow?

Or Leigh Matthews?

Get my point?

You're a bunch of biased fools anyway, so I won't bother with you all.

[mns518]

is hird good dur hes fucking good

[migsy64]

Love it how people hang shit on Hirdy...but they cant argue cos hes so fucking good

[puddingtonsam]

poofta playing a poofters game

[NickShedden]

i tell u whats a poofters game puddingtonsam?

your life.

[somo84]

ha ha ha ha ha ha fuckin nice one

[firetwirlingmigit]

dont go around calling hirdy a poofter......when the day comes that you can play a match like hirdy then you can have your say, but because you cant go fuck off somewhere else and go on enjoying your pissy pointless life on your own

[somo84]

Maybe you should look at some of the injuries this guy has sustained throughout his career and re-assess whether or not you think he's a poofter. Or maybe you should stick to your dying bonehead rugby code because you watching Aussie Rules Football is like feeding strawberries to pigs

[xxxsomeweirdoxx]

definentaly the greatest player to have played footy within my life time.

[Beamer22]

Carey?

[marmztube]

lmao carey... ha no.

[Beamer22]

Righto mate, you think Hird is better than Carey? Make a public poll.

[jorjor31]

I vote hird better

[PepperTida]

Please give a reason why

[somo84]

Like every other Essendon fan, I reckon hirdys unreal. But yes, Carey was better. Not HEAPS better, but better nonetheless. You can't guage how good a player is by the amount of norm smith/brownlows they've won. Leigh Matthews didnt win either and he was better than hirdy too. These people are biased

[Beamer22]

Hahaha mate don't worry I was actually joking.

Hird is the best footballer I have ever seen (I was born in 1989). He has natural ability I haven't seen in any other player to play the game in my time.

[janeisababe]

As long as there is no quantifiable way to determine which footy player is better, you cannot say that Carey was better or Hird was better or whatever. You can only say, they were both fantastic players, and hero's of football in the nineties and early naughties, despite Careys off field issues...

[somo84]

Why is there no quantifiable way to determine who was better?

[janeisababe]

Well how do you quantify a skill? You can't use possessions, because some roles get less possessions than others, you can't use goals, because some roles use less/more than others, there is really no metric as to "how good a player is". All you can say is, such and such is a good player, such and such isn't, and such and such is a living legend, but you can't say such and such is better than such and such, especially if they play in a different role to each other, like Carey and Hird did.

[somo84]

The truth is you don't need a 'quantifable way' to determine who is a better player. Ignore the stats altogether and have a look at the impact those players have on the actual games they have played. Some players are just better than others, plain and simple.

[janeisababe]

True, but a lot of players have huge impacts on games they play, they're all considered superstars. I know Essendon best, so i will refer to them, but guys like McVeigh, Lloyd, Hird, Longe, Fletcher, Lucas and the sort all have/had HUGE impacts on the games they played, but can you say one is better than the other? They had different styles, went about it different ways. All you can say is that they are legends of the modern era. You can't say someone is better than another, when all are great!

[somo84]

You know Essendon best? Listen Sheeds, it's not hard to say which one is/was best of those 6 players. Hird, Lloyd, Fletcher, Long, Lucas, McVeigh. Sure, that order is debatable, but thats pretty close. Regardless of styles and ways they go about it, it isnt hard to make the call

[janeisababe]

Ok, that comment about knowing Essendon best was meaning that I know more about Essendon than I do about any other team, not that I am the worlds greatest expert. But you hit the nail on the head, the order is debatable. IMHO, Hird is the best of the lot, but that is because he had an element of bravery to complement his skill that no others had, but at the end of the day, that is my opinion, and may not be shared by others, if they can justify it.

[ferrel81]

Hird was definitely a champion, but certainly not in the same league as Carey. Carey was without question the best player on the last 20 years by a long long way, the only other player who may be close is Ablett

[DarthMuse]

lol pity wayne carey hird is legend

[obebe11]

I find Carey is the best player ever. However Hird was more consistent than Carey.

Carey was the guy who ust could dominate from his own boot.

Hird was the best leader ever. But I am not downgrading Hird.

Hird is the second best player ever. In my opinion

[gossiboy101]

in my opinion ur all a bunch of fucking retards

[l7ebels]

Hirds the better man - easy

[brennan1234567899876]

LEGEND

[zubero23]

You are a true champion Hirdy! May your legend live forever. Go the DONS !

[mns518]

your right big time

[rthx2000]

Such a legend, I love him so much.

[kingofthemoutain05]

Absolute legend...thanks for the memories Hirdy.

[glenZo592]

what a great player its goin to be a shame to see him go tomorrow night against richmond but i cant wait to go and see him anyway go bombers!!!!!!!

[martypage07]

I don't care what anybody says but James Hird is the single greatest player of all time

[mikew1990]

Whats the name of the opening song?

[indulgences]

What kelli24 said, the band is Taxiride, the song is called Oh Yeah. (am I repeating myself?)

[clownrot]

Whoever you barrack for you have to hand it to Hirdy. A class act on and off the field. Can't wait for Sunday's game at the G!

[mikew1990]

Whats the name of the opening song?

[whitedog132]

Whoever put this video on is an absolute legend!

James Hird is the best player to put the boots on for the dons. What a champion! I'm travelling all the way to Melbourne this weekend to farewell him from Canberra.

[brennan1234567899876]

legend

[Volition74aus]

I rate him the best player of my generation. Better than carey, brown. They couldn't play any position. Hird copuld play Tall short, Small Forward, Centre Half Forward.

Only the ablett could top him.

Go Hiiirrdddyyyy

[ethos35]

he will be regarded as a champion because of his amazing skill and he always was there when the game was there to be won, did that extra sumthing to inspire essendon...to bad he only played 250 games out of a possible 360

[xxxsomeweirdoxx]

just brilliant.

[pedrospenthouse]

That was fantastic. The way a great player should be complimented! Good stuff! 5 stars.

[campio22]

David Hilles comment was just great haha

[ashandleighk]

Extraordinary skills and awareness combined with a superb football brain makes Jim the the best player I've ever had the priveledge to watch week-in-week-out. Thanks Jim.

[tommyrynberk]

i'm an essendo fan love jimmy more than any other player, byt, Carey was better he dominated games(especially against us) he would out muscle out jump anyone. No Carey No North. Jimmy is a better role model and the 2nd best player i've ever seen

[nipz01]

your kidding arent ya. Buckleyz a good player. not a champion player. Robert harvey has not changed a game in his life and voss is a champion but he has not got Hirds skills. Careyz a champion but off the field hes a disgrace unlike James Hird champion both on and off the field. Thats the difference.

[hirdy4ever]

What I mean is that Buckley is overrated. He should never be put in the category with James Hird and Michael Voss. I remember when he kicked five for the first time in his life against Essendon and he played all night on a first gamer, Collingwood lost and the next day there was an article that he can be a 100 goal full forward, what a joke. If he had of done that in 2002/ 2003 then fine but he's not a big game player.

[jacksonpollock19]

Dennis Pagan made Carey look better than he really was, he gave him the entire foward line to himself, most of the marks Carey took in his career were running with the flight of the ball into an open foward line.

[FAITHNOWHORE]

keeping in mind Hird was injured 1997, most of 1998 and practically all of 1999....these were his prime years of football. And he missed them! Carey was a great influential imposing player for sure...but skill wise? Hird couldve played his career at centre half forward and been remembered as one of the greats. He's to important so Sheedey uses him all over the ground.

[hirdy4ever]

James Hird is one the greatest players ever. The thing about Hird is that he makes everything look so easy. That idiot that said he would rate Buckley, Harvey and Voss above him is just a dumb ass. I can understand Voss because him and Hird were two of the best players and are absolute legends. But Buckley sucks, Hird kicks more goals, has won more games and can actually take a pack mark unlike Buckley who waits for the footy instead of going after it, I'm glad he plays for Collingwood.

[rozzaj]

yeah the slongs who reckon carey is/was beta than hird r absaloutle jokes. hird inot his 16th yr of afl is still able to change games of his own foot. carey faded and yes both players in their prime were tru champions of the game but hird is a tru champion of the game and will b sadly missed when he retires!

[nickyloz]

yarn dogger and mozza 18, you two are both the dick heads. Carey and Hird are completely different players. Played in different positions. Mozza 18 have you seen a game that hird has played in? I don't even go for essendon and i know that he has changed many games. Nobs like you two shouldn't be allowed to post comments on these vids. You losers are brainless.

[HardyV1]

Hirdy is better than Carey. Altho they played different roles, I'm basically saying, him being on the field, lifts the team more than if Carey is on the field for his football club.

Hirdy is the best footballer of all time in my eyes. Him and Voss are head and shoulders above the pack

[jimvsgts]

James Hird is the best player ever in my eyes. What an absolute Legend.

Its gonna be so crap when he retires..

[benbenny07]

how good did hird play friday night against da eagles

[mcgeegee]

That tackle @ 0:41, would be paid a free kick againts for being too high today.

[ledzeppelin26]

that essendon v eagles game....ill never forget that one. pure magic. it'll be shit when hird retires. had a nice 1 point victory over the swans tonight too :)

[mOzza18]

YOU DICK HEADS. Carey was able to change games with his influence/presence and skill. Jimmy Hird is a good player and classy but not a great like Carey.. Carey will go down as one of the BEST PLAYERS EVER. EVER. EVER... #1 CAREY, #2 MATTHEWS, #3 ABLETT

[YARNDOGGER]

your right careys wasway better then hird

straughany59 has no idea

[SkillzForThrillz]

King Carey was a dirty Sleeze... Hirdyy'z a true champion, It wouldnt be essendon without James Hird, It wouldnt Be Football Without James Hird.

Sure, we have lovetts, llyodds, buckleys, Fevolas.

But none greater then the "James Hird"...

[squizaloo]

Ahhh Essendon Legend, Will be sad to see the last of my football heros retire

[MawsonProductions]

got shivers reliving some of those moments. my childhood hero, thank you jimmy boy! #5

[Luke606]

Good work Indulgences.

I hope you and as many people as possible can post footy stuff.

[aussieplaya5]

What a ledgend! Footage like that is pure gold, brings a tear to the eye. James you are my hero, thanks for all the years mate. Go the mighty Dons!!!

[mOzza18]

KING CAREY WAS 100 TIMES BETTER....

[spizzajay]

haha your a wanker. Hird was there when you needed him most, he could turn a game, all carey could do was get his dick in other peoples wives

[YARNDOGGER]

mate wayne carey is alot better then jimmy hird

to be honest i rate harvey,buckley and voss better then him

[straughany59]

just because you have an opinion doesnt mean it holds any weight or that anyone gives a fuck what you think

[straughany59]

mabye better in bed, he sure got a lot of practice fucking his mates wives. Jimmy is in a class above that fuckwit on the field and off it.

[YARNDOGGER]

straughany59 u have no idea mate

and who cares wat u think

Fuckhead

[nickyloz]

Mate, do you have your own opinion about this or do you just follow what mozza 18 says? haha. You are a joke buddy. "Yeh, Careys way better".... You're a tool buddy.

[mattyways]

To come back from all those injurys shows how much of a champion hird is.AAhh JIMMY BOY hope you get to 250 games

[scnorthey]

wat a player. genlteman james. wat a legend. to come back after having he had his face smashed to go in and play 6 weeks after and still b at the bottom of the pack is just insparational. just imagine if he hadnt had all those injurys how much more he would have done. LEGEND!

[kennerado]

Why didn't you include the goal he kicked in the 93 grand final?

[wilsobomber]

i'm a mad bomber fan and i didn't know he used to wear a different number does anyone know when he got number 5... how did i not know that!!!!

[indulgences]

What kelli24 said, the band is Taxiride, the song is called Oh Yeah.

[kyle349]
