For me its Keegan
followed by Kemble
agree to an extent with Baldys sentiment about Joe Oliver even if the song is now a club song and not 1 dedicated to him

This is never going to be a precise art but its great to read supporters views and it certainly jogs a few memories. Fans will obviously go for the players they have seen and its hard to gage fans views of players before the era's you personally remember. Oliver is a good point of fact. You can only really read what folks back then said and unlike today thee were few means of this being recorded..
Back in the 60's you were often handed a player of the match sheet on which you voted, by filling it in. During that time its interesting to note that Arthur Keegan was voted fans player of the season for 7 consecutive seasons. And that in an era that included Sullivan, Davidson, McGlone, Rosenberg etc. that's going some.

Keegan best all round fullback I have seen play. Although only young when I saw him play he stood out a mile and everybody who was older than me raved about him. Kemble was next best and of course woodsy was a cult hero of mine.

| Quote: Freddie Miller. "Would like to replace Freddie Miller with Joe Oliver as a nominee. Joe played both fullback and centre for the club but I am unable to find statistics showing games played in the 2 positions. My dad who watched from 1913-1968 said he was the best fullback he saw play for Hull and interestingly the club website which lists all past players has him as a fullback.
The following link gives a good summary of Joe's career.
you could replace paul woods with oliver, leaving miller in the list if you so wish. out of the 5 nominees i would be tempted to drop woodsy, great player that he was. from what i read oliver started at full back and moved to centre later when miller arrived but won his international caps at centre and was at centre in the mid 30s golden period
