KNOCKER

i know its a difficult with gentleman John in the frame, but when Knocker knocked them down they stayed down. I have yet to see a better 13 in the English game

John Whiteley - All the skills and more supreme rugby brain ball handler and creator not shirking any tackling and most importantly inspired leadership got the best out of those around him

Knocker for me , favourite all time player but like someone said , how can you leave whitely out !

Whiteley.

Has anyone even come close to his achievements since? If it ends up as anyone else it'll make a mockery of this team.

I never saw Mr Whiteley play (but he is legend )so on that basis it must be Norton. What an attacker. What a defender. I always think that really class players look like they have all the time in the world in the ball. Sometimes the game seemed to stop when knocker took a pass and when it started again he'd gone through the gap and was off down the field.
And on a Sunday evening after the games boy he could party with the fans. The man was magic. No contest for me.

The truth is we've been blessed with some great 13's, many could command a place in any team and tbh I'd play many of them out of position just to accomodate their talent. I would choose Knocker as mine.

Steve 'Knocker' Norton
Johnny Whitely
Mick Crane
Jason Smith
Gary Divorty
Craig Fitzgibbon
John Sharp
Tony Grimaldi

all top class players.

Best I have seen by a light year is Johnny Whiteley from my post WW2 watching. Putting aside his enormous achievements at Hull he was a team member of the last Gt Britain team to win an' Ashes' series in England and was the coach of the last Gt Britain team to win a series in Aus.

I will be truly amazed if John is not the No.13.

Johnny Whiteley.

J,Whiteley for me then Mick Crane the true entertainer.
Only 2 players from Hull have had the rules changed because of there use of them B.Batten vaulting people .
Mick Crane with his winning the ball at the play the ball if he hooked it back or near the line kick through and score.
Clarke would have a field day with body language for him [lost by 50 before you start

Knocker and j Whiteley

Jason smith..end of discussion for me.... arguably my greatest fc player of all time... simply genius ballplayer, and hard as nails...... took us from average to good singlehandedly imo
