His wife is telling people they are going home, so don't think he'll be on the coaching team for us next year.

Officially confirms his retirement.

Sad way to bow out. I wish him well for the future, shame he didn't come to Hull earlier in his career. Often caused us problems when we faced him.

stupid signing, keeping better players out. Sad end to a career, but he wont be missed.

Sad way to end a career and I wish him well for the future. The memory I'll keep of him is that goal-line tackle on Jason Poore (IIRC) at the KC.

That had TRY written all over it and should be required viewing of how to defend on your line.

Outstanding. Best tackle I've seen all year.

Best of luck to him

Missed him tonight he at least has broken the line in the past. I thought Tickle, Westerman, Pitts and to a slightly lesser extent Ellis just didn't run hard enough and fast enough tonight.

I totally agree with every word of this.

Just out of interest which better players was he keeping out?

Thought he had his bad games and good games. Will miss his defensive work however i feel his better days were behind him.

Hope he stays till end of year just to teach the youngsters a bit or 2.

To all the Hull fans who respected his commitment and effort and posted positive things on here I respect you as he is a prime scapegoat on current events( CC excepted). Benny if you read these threads thanks for all your efforts and the game will sadly miss you .
