And even better he says his health is good at the moment with no more scans needed until January........another positive for a true legend.

Absolutely, My sister who works in the uni started the ball rolling after Omar sherife got one with the flimsiest connection to Hull you've ever heard. So once again well done to all involved.

Dr Prekkie-Legend!

Never really got the idea of 'Honorary Degrees' tbh especially when you read the final paragraph of artilce in the wail.

'Hull City owner Assem Allam will become a doctor of the University Of Hull in a ceremony tomorrow.'

They are meant to honour the individual recieveing them (ieicon_razz.gifrekkie) or for the establishment to suck up to someone who they think might give them some cash (like Nutjob)

as soon as I had checked my Euro Millions ticket and knew it wasn't me this morning, I hoped it was someone else from Hull who would then give the Council a £5m a year covenant so long as the KC remained in public ownership.

I understand Allam's was awarded in recognition of his active participation (as a study subject), in the fields of anthropological research and English as a 2nd language

But big raps to Steve on an honorary doctorate in recognition of something tangible and worthwhile
