| Richard Swain is the best hooker I have seen play for Hull FC followed very closely by Lee Jackson.
Does anyone remember Mick Jenkins? I can recall him having some good games for Hull.

| ok, i've gone with the following as the initial 5 nominees
1. George Watt. An aussie international, Watt signed for hull in 1947 aged 30, and went on to make 90 appearances scoring 9 tries. Played regular test rugby for Australia but lost a lot of his career to the war.
2. Tommy Harris. Integral member of hull's feared 'panzer' pack, harris is another member of the 400 club, turning out 443 times for the black and whites. the welshman possessed a powerful running game along with his ball winning skills and is perhaps best known for his lance todd winning performance in a losing cause in the 1960 challenge cup final. is GB's most capped hooker
3. Tony Duke. a stalwart of the club and an expert in the art of winning the ball from the scrum, duke played out much of his career in the lower profile teams of the mid to late 70's but had his glorious swansong in 1982 appearing at hooker in the challenge cup final replay victory over widnes. was arguably the last of hulls 'old school' style of hookers as the role evolved when the head and feed rules changed in the mid 1980s
4. Lee Jackson. Jackson was one of the outstanding british modern day hookers. he served 2 spells for hull, 1988 - 93 and 2001 - 2002. in between he played for sheffield eagles and perhaps the highlight of his career was a 3 year spell at newcastle knights, where he won the premiership in 1997. was a member of hull victorious premiership winning team in 1991. scored the fastest try in rugby league history when he touched down after 9 seconds in a cup game at sheffield in 1992
5. Richard Swain. Hull greatest hooker of the millennium, swain played 3 and a half seasons for the club between 2004 and 2007. renowned as a committed leader and defender, swain topped the superleague tackle charts in his first season. he became one of only 3 hull captains to lift the challenge cup when hull saw off leeds in the 2005 final. played 94 games scoring 5 tries
