All the usual suspects have been mentioned and we have had some great player like Sterlo, Smith etc. However the arrival of the three kiwi's is something as a kid I will always remember. O'Hara was outstandingly fast, Leulaui's side step was amazing and Kemble was just the best fullback I had ever seen in my life. Even now I can only think of the odd fullback who would be up their with him.

Even now we still have great overseas players like Ogre and Fitz.

I'm not really old enough to remember Sterling, so Jason Smith would have to be my favourite. A truly magical player, the likes of which he haven't seen in a Hull shirt since. Swain played more games and was a tackling phenomenon, but for sheer brilliance, it would have to be Smith every time.

Sean Ryan springs to mind nothing special but a grafter .

Jason Smith for me; too young for anyone else really. I can applaud Swain but Smith was touched by magic.

I always preferred david brooks to terry regan, a tackling machine. Regan also cost us a trip to wembley when he played the ball to himself on the last tackle in the 0-0 semi v halifax, with gary pearce waiting to pop a simple drop goal over with a couple of minutes left.

Deon Bird? who was the kicker of the same era who unfortunately broke his leg against cas? Herron or something? This was as I was just getting into rugby properly, before then i only showed a slight interest and the one player who (without being a big rugby fan at the time) made me think WOW, was Tawera Nikau, not Hull I know but my fav import from any team.

Swain is the best import during my time of watching Hull, phenomenal in defense, never gave less than 100% in a Hull shirt.

1. Peter Sterling
2. Gary Kemble
3. Jason Smith
4. Richard Swain
5. Stephen Kearney
6. Richie Barnett

..wow, just realised what a pleasure it's been to watch such overseas talent play for Hull F.C....I could name another six but.....!

greg mackey and paddy entat

sums it up for me mate,what a pleasure to watch the kiwis inc fred aswel,cant forget swain he was such a fantastic player,2 more fantastic players in barnett and best.

shane mac has to have a big mentione aswel he was a great servant for our club.

Matt Crowther.

IAN

I seem to remember him sustaining a serious leg injury whilst kicking a goal and having to spend several weeks on the sidelines.

I know its good signing english players but doesn't compare to when were linked overseas players and confirmed this year as it's being a honour to watch Ogre + fitz a, for me Kearney had a massive effect on the club even though he was only here for a season let's hope probably in 2012 we get some more great players

The most influential player that FC ever had from overseas was S Kearney imo, his ability to change a game, do the unexpected or frighten the ferk out of the opposition hardmen was a delight to watch ...
Peter Sterling and R Swain a very close joint second.

Best player i know of ever was S Norton... possibly one of the worlds greatest .

p sterling for me,

Has to be Sterling , brought the best out of the players around him . As said before, Craig Coleman turned an average team into a good one ..

Dave Brown... Like a large tumble dryer

Seconded.

What about Michael Smith?

How is Jake Websters face this morning?

No idea.

posted him in an earlier post..complete waster....end of.......

I got him rather steamed up once at a reserve team derby (when he played for Rovers). Just as he was subbed near the end of the game I shouted to him that the buffet was open and he could get in first. He totally lost it much to everyone's amusement.

Hmm...



Both sets of players held their annual night out in town last night.
The gladiators of Hull all met face-to-face, nose-to-nose in a neutral drinking establishment.
Jake Webster was in the wrong place at the wrong time and consequently was on the receiving end of a brutal beating by a Hull forward.
Sparks flew, glasses were thrown, people were ejected from the vacinity, and a bloody, battered Webster was escorted to HRI to be bandaged and stitched up.

Am I close?
