From the Official site, Casey as a nominee for loose forward.

And it isn't dated 1 April.

Its not as if he had a particularly long and distinguished career as a Hull player. Then add in the huge damage he caused to the club its worst ever coach.

I would have thought that Gary Divorty for one had a longer and better career at Hull and there surely must be others far more deserving than Casey.

Crane, without doubt, certainly not Smith. (Not without proof) Edit pm

Len Casey no .......................never

Harold Ellerington should be in there for sure and ahead of Crane or Smithy

Can't recall Crane being at Hull until 1987.

Anyone know when his last appears was and against whom?

He played 18 times in 1986-87 (having been away from the club the two previous years). He started the first six games in 1986-87 at loose forward then made further appearances in the mid part of the season. His final game for Hull was again in the 13 shirt against Leigh in a home Challenge Cup defeat on 1st March 1987.

Definitely deserves a spot in the Hull Hall of Fame.

More than Casey does that's for sure.

One of my all time favourite players is Mick; an absolute quality player with every skill in the book.

We'll have to take your word for that as I bet most on here never saw him play.

Bet Rich Horne can't wait until 2070 when people once again state he was a great half back

Where is Knocker ? is he in as 2nd row. I would have thought he would be a shoe in, one of the best I ever saw.

Agar will be wondering where Radford's name is at LF.

Bit harsh!

Under Fitzgibbons!

Already in the FC Hall of Fame.

Never Casey, Smith or Crane for me.

who is already in the hall of fame?

is it done on a position by position basis or are there some positions not decided yet.

btw i'm a believer in only having a few players in a hall of fame - that way you get the truly great players and don't risk filling it with other players just for the sake of a decent 5 course dinner and night out

As far as loose forwards go Norton and Whitely and I don't think anyone will argue with that. This vote is for the 3rd choice and I'm surprised that Casey even got a nomination - surely there have been better than him other than the 3 other nominees who were all clearly superior and contributed more as a Hull player. Casey played 5 years (not particularly long) in an undistinguished side and was hardly considered the star man. His fame as a player, that of a cheap shot merchant known for late hits on the opponents half backs, was earned with another team.

However if the dobbins were to do a hall of fame then Casey would be a walk in, chiefly for the harm he did to Hull with his disastrous coaching spell.

FWIW my choice would be Crane, a very good player and always entertaining - though I wouldn't have wanted to be his coach.

Mick Crane was one of the best back rowers I've ever seen at Hull.

The farcical nomination of Casey may come back to embarras whoever did it. Desperately sad moron Easty is rallying his fellow deluded fools on the dobbins forum to vote for Casey.

Mick crane was such a tallented player when he wanted to be
when he bothered to turn up to training and not betting and drinking.

Knew Mick did you?

No?

Thought not

Always makes me laugh when someone has a go at a player for having a drink.What do they expect,them sticking to diet Coke?

Especially when the player in question hardly touched the stuff anyway

Mick was no way a big drinker, actually the majority of the players were not big drinkers as such and just had a pint after the match, it is well documented those that did like the drink and I think most just assume the players of the 80s were piiss heads when they simply were not. They played on Boxing day and I know most families of players had there xmas festivities on Boxing day night as most of the players would not drink on xmas day before the match.

Almost as sad as joining that forum so you can see what's written

The idiot probably doesn't know that Crane played for Rovers too.

Sums the guy up, he's pathetic.
