It has to be Clive Sullivan and Jack Harrison.

As for characters, Keith Bowman, Wilf Rosenberg, Terry Devonshire, Nobby Oiliver and Chico Jackson are all worthy of mention. And Matt Daylight scored a hat trick in a certain notorious Cup Semi final

As the game has changed so much you can really only measure players against their contemporaries. Now the 50s may have been a golden age for wingers, or then again it may not. I wasn't born then. I have heard that Boston, Mick Sullivan and others were legends of the game, but was that because they were so much better than everyone else before or since, or conversely that the others were rather poorer than different eras? In the distant future I expect that Ryan Hall (given the international and finals record he has already accumulated) will be spoken of in highly complimentary terms and people will be saying Briscoe for example, had to compete for a spot with him!

I know that some international and other representative selections have been (in)famously strange at times but on the whole it is a useful, mostly independent, way of rating a player's ability and as such it needs serious consideration when considering our selections for Hull's best.

J Harrison is or was Hull leading try scorer of all times

In a season!

The 50's was a golden period for class wingers and for Great Britain/ England in Ashes matches. As well as Boston and Mick Sullivan, there was Frank Castle, Terry O'Grady and Ike Southward a fellow Cumbrian to Ivor. Also Lewis Jones played on the wing in some matches. International wingers also playing in England at that time included Bruce Ryan, Wilf Rosenburg, Brian Bevan, Tom Van Vollenhoven and Lionel Cooper. The latter 3 in particular were legends of the game.

As a side issue when Billy Batten played in his 10 matches for England in Ashes matches he played on the wing in all matches but 1. The one was played at the Boulevard where he played centre and his winger was Bill Stone. England lost in that game.
