Please put forward some nominations for the wing positions. As there are 2 positions to fill we will put 8 nominees together and you can vote for 2, once voting starts in a week or so. Not going to single out left and right wing positions as some wingers are able to swap positions, and indeed quite a few have done this over the course of their careers (same will apply to the centres).

This thread should dig up some very strong contenders. Fire away

Well I'll start the ball rolling with the most obvious one. Clive Sullivan.

Wow hard one this. Sully has to be one. J Harrison must have been a good one as well. D O'Hara maybe ?

Ivor Watts is certainly worth a mention, a mainstay of the great team we had in the 50's.

He played for Hull for 15 years, then was on the coaching staff for 10 years and ended up head coach for a further season (I know this doesn't count towards him being our best winger, just a bit more info).

400+ games for Hull
200+ tries (second in the all-time scoring list)

“We will not accept a top eight finish as a barometer of supposed success at any point in the future whilst I am the owner of this club. Thats why you got the Bullet Agar...Adam Pearson wants winners...not useless gits like you. "Rugby League is a simple game played by simple people. Rugby Union is a complex game played by wankers." L.Daley 2005:



Kevin James is worth a shout,would have been a legend if it wasn't for injury.

For his overall record Tinga would have to be in there. Sully is a no brainer. Then you've got the likes of Paul Prendeville and Alf Macklin who for just the pleasure of watching players with character would have to be on my list. Paul Eastwood had a great scoring record for us , could kick as well and did it at the top level on the international scene for a short while too.

My mum watch Hull for a few years after the war, and Bruce Ryan is the one name that always crops up.

Sterling was my favourite. That try away at Doncaster was sensational.

Clive Sullivan - 250 tries for the club (26 more than anyone else and only half a dozen or so players have got within a hundred of him).

Jack Harrison VC - aside from his heroism and sacrifice made during the Great War he still holds the club record for tries in a season a hundred years later - 52 tries in 43 games.

Some great personal favourites of mine like O'Hara, Prendeville and James but it simply has to be the above two.

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 a026.gif
