...re-sign one former Hull player, past or present, who would you sign.

I'd have Peter Sterling

without hesitation. All round playing Legend



There was no need to have a half back debate when he wore the shirt!

Toppo,a great leader.

Before my time, but Knocker

As we need a centre then Ritchie Barnett.

There are so many great players to of played for our club its so hard to just pick one,but if i must it has to be the one and only KNOCKER NORTON

Knocker is my all time favourite player but I don't think his style would suit the game today. I'd take schofield

good shout with schoey,any of the kiwis aswel,plus swain,barnett,best,j smith

Arthur Keegan fans player of the year 7 years running!

That was in the days before the internet!

I'm an old B*gger! Those wind up telephones were good though!


In those days the player of the year was decided by fans voting for their man of the match at each game, we usually got our slip before te game and just wrote Arthur Keegan because 99% of the time he was man of the match, he was phenominal got caught once though when he withdrew just before the kick off and we had already voted for him!!!

This.

I meant that if he'd dropped a bomb once he'd have been castigated by everone on the forums

Difficult to name only one but I'd probably plump for Jason Smith. But then I'd agonise over Knocker, Keegan, Whiteley, the NZ boys, Schofield, Vaikona, Toppo, Sterling and others I've probably overlooked! (Jacko, Cleal etc etc)

On a purely selfish note I'd pick either Knocker or Sterling; too tough to call for me.
For the team I'd want one of either Leuluai, Schofield or Barnett.

Didn't happen!!!

At the moment.....carvell he's been pretty good for wire of late

Luke Briscoe

Swain

The likes of Mick Harrison and Trevor Skerrett would have beasted Carvell if they played/trained the same as modern day pros. I'd have Harrison in my 13 any day of the week.

Overall though if I had to have one player from all that i've seen I'd have to go with Topliss, skill, bravery and tactically superior. I reckon the only reason he didn't get so many caps for GB is that he played for Wakey at a time when they were unsuccessful & unfashionable.

I agree with everything you say about Toppo,a complete player and a born leader.Seen some great players at Hull over the last 40--50 years but he was one of the best leaders.Remember when he finished playing for one of the Aussie sides,they offered him a blank cheque to stay,not many British players can say that.

Spot on ,I'd have Knocker imho

I asked my Dad the same question. He's 80 and has been following Hull since the war.

Without hesitation he said Bruce Ryan. A flying Australian winger who beat people for fun.



He played for Hull for three seasons form 1947-1950, before Leeds bought him for a World Record fee of £4,500.

No doubt tipped off by an external source!!!

Knocker - God in hull shirt. The loudest I ever heard threepenny was when his name was announced in the team for a derby when he came back from an injury. The place erupted. the game was won in that moment

No forums in those days.....

...but i do remember the 1978/79 season. We won 26/26 games in Division Two (see Guinness World Records for further details!!!!).



From what I remember Knocker went the whole season without being tackled in possession. In the last game at home to New Hunslet he dropped the ball and the old bloke behind us shouted 'Bloody Norton'.



Perhaps we've always been hard to please?

Duncan Jackson was another great player Mike Scott our Johnny W the list is endless ..the 4 New Zealand lads could add something to a team I have seen some great player at Hull FC over the years
