Kit of the day: Hibernian 1996-98, Mitra
Jean-Marc Adjovi-Bocco, known as Jimmy, was born in Cotonou and captained Benin. He played 195 league games for Lens between 1991 and 1997. At 33 he went on trial at Hibernian and Jim Duffy offered him a contract.
After his first game, Bocco said he couldn’t understand his team-mates, John Hughes especially. Hibs started well but fell apart quickly. Duffy was sacked in February 1998 and Alex McLeish took over. Hibs finished bottom of the Premier Division and went down.
Bocco played 32 games that season without scoring. In the summer he left the club. A year after he left, Lens won their first French title. He later co-founded the Diambars academy in Senegal with Patrick Vieira and Bernard Lama.
Mitre was founded as a leather tannery in Huddersfield in 1817. It took the name Mitre in 1949 and supplied the Football League’s match ball from 1976 to 2021.
The Bowler's Rest, Leith 🏴 1st visit. Honestly sensational. How to take a trad boozer through and through into the present day carefully, respecting the past and introducing the better drinks and events that secure it's future. The best first visit of this week 👍🍻
