Richard, Many congratulations on a great career. To have played over three hundred games at top level is testimony to your skill, courage and dedication. To win tonight was a fitting tribute to a great clubman. We all wish you every success in your coaching career at Hull F.C. and seeing you create the stars of the future.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ seconded.

Such a great night for Richard tonight, shame he got tackled just short of the line after that run I was willing him to get over the line but it was a great finish for him in the end. You will be missed Richard its been a pleasure watching you play for us for all your career.

Here, here. RH IS a Hull Fc legend, not the most talented ever, not the quickest most potent half back we've ever had but an honest 100 per, a tryer with a very decent amount of skill, dedication, integrity and as above courage.
As a FB he could have probably had a decent GB career, highlight for me was his partnership with Cooke in 2006, they were sensational together.

He put in a couple crap kicks down the full backs throat tonight just for good measure. Wouldn't have wanted it any other way. All the best Rich it's been a pleasure watching you play for us.

Great servant for the club but lets not brand the word legend around too easy.

Never being a big fan of him but he has always being committed.

And the word legend is bandied around as if it solely means talent/success, they can and are exclusive of each other
Extremely controversial but I wouldn't consider Peter Sterling an Hull FC legend, just a mercinary player who played fantastic rugby for us, yes he was one of the very very best we've ever had..but legend..not for me.

Legend to me are the likes of Horne, Gay, Nolan, Eastwood, Boxall, Hancock, Macklin, Harris, Keegan, Whitely, Scott, Finn, Watts and even further back Rogers, Oliver, Batten, Bowman, Taylor and J.Harrison plus plenty of others in between.
It doesn't matter if some weren't the most talented, it's what the lasting memory is for individual fans, what these players mean to the club, their loyalty especially throughout barren times, it's that we remember their names and how they make us feel not just their achievements on the field of play..I'd take a Mick Scott over a whole bunch of more talented players that came and played in black and white.

Been a great servant for Hull FC through some difficult periods of our existence. Tributes well deserved.

We won't get into it as it is richards night.

But I disagree.

Tributes well deserved.
Had several opportunities to jump ship but hung around on deck baling out water with a bucket even when the ship was seriously holed.
Radders talked affectionately and quite amusingly about him pre-match if anybody caught it.

Proper Legend in my eyes. Retiring at the right time. Here is hoping that his coaching career at FC lasts as long. All the best.

Absolute modern day Hull fc legend it's going to be very strange not seeing him in the black n white irregular hoops next season . Such a shame he couldn't get to the try line one last time .
Big raps for the Leeds players and fans for the appreciation for Horneys contributions to not just our club but rugby league in general (just another reason why our sport is the best sport with the best fans)

Still a super league record holder aswell .

And once again a big thank you Rich it's been a pleasure to watch you play for the last 16 years

It's fair to say that he may not have fully reached the potential shown at the start of his career (last international was when he was 24, I think) but to play for one club for sixteen seasons is remarkable especially in the modern era.

When the surgeon reattached his head before the cup final she saw the letters HULL FC running through him like he was a stick of rock.

Legend.
