Hibs pay tribute to David Paul

Hibs have paid tribute to former under-20 squad player David Paul who sadly passed away just before Christmas last year.

This season, the under-20s have worn shirts with the CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) logo in his memory.

A statement on the club website reads: “Hibernian remembers David Paul, who sadly passed away at this time last year. David was one of our own – a promising footballer who had risen up through the youth ranks at Hibernian to become a full-time member of the under-20s squad.

“In memory of David, this season’s under-20 team’s shirts carry the CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) logo.

“Educated at George Watson’s College, David, who joined the Academy from Inch Colts as a 10-year-old, was an articulate and sensible young man and a universally popular member of the under-20s squad.

“A skilful, attack-minded midfielder, David played the game as he lived his life with dignity, composure and integrity and his final goal was in the Scottish FA Youth Cup tie against Rangers at Ibrox on 24 November 2013.

“David continues to be hugely missed by everybody at Hibernian and he will never be forgotten.”
