Difficult one, probably a word that's banded about a bit too much. I see it as the legacy they leave behind at the club once they're gone, rather than longevity, try record, honours etc.

Richard Swain definitely.

Smith & Kearney I'm not sure - but they do always get brought up on threads like this. Smith was probably the most skillful player I've seen at Hull in the past 25 years, the most natural, gifted footballer. Kearney was a leader amongst men, and was a key influence in the 2005 cup winning side. He was only here for a season, but Sterling didn't play many games for us either.

Some of the Hull lads that came through in the 00's will always be remembered. As will Viakona in the 90's. Steve Prescott too.

I had the pleasure to see Knocker play and have never seen anyone have more influence on the outcome of a match. B&W legend, unplayable on his day.

There is a Book out Tomorrow called Hull FC 20 Legends which will have some real legends in it and some that are a matter of opinion because although though there are a few undisputed ones the rest of the so called Legends are a matter for debate and conjecture.

Just to choose 2 that I have seen play, it would be Knocker and Swainy.

Hull KR Chairman Neil Hudgell, August 26th, 2014 said.. "In fact, the days of us signing any players from across the river are over. Our fans are loyal, passionate and only interested in one club. Taking players from our nearest rivals doesn't fit in with that brief.":8570.jpg



Steve Norton for me. The best player I've ever seen in a Hull FC shirt. A great memory sticks out from a derby game at the Boulevard. Before the teams ran out, with a packed house in attendance, everybody was wondering whether Norton was playing after being out injured for a few weeks. The announcer went through the Hull team until he got to number thirteen when he started saying "And a welcome return...", you couldn't hear anything else he said, must have been the loudest cheer all day.

Well the choice of Kirk Yeaman will raise a few eyebrows!

A few raised eyebrows, froth emanating from the mouth, blood pressure rising, steam coming out of ears, faces turning red, mad rush to post outrage on RLfans, etc.

Half of the 20 FC legends listed in the new book were born locally and internationals so Horne must be odds on to be there!
