Quote: hesslefan "Being rather bored I thought about who the best home grown players were that I had seen playing for Hull. The following is a dream team of players since the late 60's, when I started watching in earnest (rather than just going with my Dad), of those players from the Hull area who have played for Hull. It therefore excludes greats who we think of as our own (Clive Sullivan, Arthur Keegan et al) but who were not from around here. I would be interested in other people's views. I have not researched it in that much detail so apologies if I have included or excluded anyone incorrectly on the basis of where they are from.

One conclusion is that we can produce lots of good forwards locally but we struggle a bit in the backs. I can easily suggest a good alternative pack of King, Houghton, Dannatt, Rose, Boxall, Divorty.'"
