HQ Magazine’s Tributes to Hanlon, Stevenson, and Joelle Murray! The iconic careers of Paul Hanlon, Lewis Stevenson, and Joelle Murray are honored in the most recent issue of HQ Magazine! The magazine spans 100 pages and is divided into sections that honor the three defenders who have combined for almost 1,600 senior appearances for Hibernian FC. We spoke with Paul’s wife, Danielle Hanlon, during his section, and she shared her insights into Paul’s personality both on and off the field as a family guy. While Tam Smith, the coach of Hutchinson Vale, provided insight on Hanlon’s early football career and his great mentality from an early age. Smith remembers, “Paul was my captain at Hutchie from seven-a-side all the way through.”
“It was an easy decision for me to make because of the way he conducted himself; he was well-respected and looked up to, and he was always early.”He had many excellent habits and always kept his boots clean, both of which were essential for athletes hoping to advance.Teammate Siobhan Hunter, who has been Joelle’s pitch partner since 2009, pays a heartfelt homage to her in her chapter, highlighting her impact on motivating the next generation. Siobhan stated: She is an excellent player, an even better person, and a wonderful leader, so any new player who sees her cannot help but be impressed. “She is everything.”you would want in a captain, and it means the world to her wearing that armband.”
Along with talking about Joelle’s incredible career throughout the years are Joelle’s father Alan and a number of other former coaches. At last, Lewis Stevenson has an exclusive interview where he discusses his 600 Hibs appearances and presents a unique chronology detailing his career! Special remarks are also included from Alex McLeish and Alan Stubbs, two former managers.
As a manager, you know you’ll get a great performance when you have the expertise that Lewy has, and that’s exactly how he performed. “Watching him win that highly sought-after Scotland cap was fantastic.”
