The likes of Mick Harrison and Trevor Skerrett would have beasted Carvell if they played/trained the same as modern day pros. I'd have Harrison in my 13 any day of the week.

Overall though if I had to have one player from all that i've seen I'd have to go with Topliss, skill, bravery and tactically superior. I reckon the only reason he didn't get so many caps for GB is that he played for Wakey at a time when they were unsuccessful & unfashionable.

I agree with everything you say about Toppo,a complete player and a born leader.Seen some great players at Hull over the last 40--50 years but he was one of the best leaders.Remember when he finished playing for one of the Aussie sides,they offered him a blank cheque to stay,not many British players can say that.

I asked my Dad the same question. He's 80 and has been following Hull since the war.

Without hesitation he said Bruce Ryan. A flying Australian winger who beat people for fun. icon_motor.gif

He played for Hull for three seasons form 1947-1950, before Leeds bought him for a World Record fee of £4,500.

No doubt tipped off by an external source!!! icon_ask.gif

Knocker - God in hull shirt. The loudest I ever heard threepenny was when his name was announced in the team for a derby when he came back from an injury. The place erupted. the game was won in that moment

No forums in those days.....

...but i do remember the 1978/79 season. We won 26/26 games in Division Two (see Guinness World Records for further details!!!!). eusa_clap.gif

From what I remember Knocker went the whole season without being tackled in possession. In the last game at home to New Hunslet he dropped the ball and the old bloke behind us shouted 'Bloody Norton'. a026.gif

Perhaps we've always been hard to please? eusa_think.gif

To fit into our current squad I would agree with the vote for Richie Barnett. The guy was pure class & just seemed to glide through defences. He could also put in some massive hits in defence. Wish we could have had him a few years earlier.

If we base it on requirements/positions for next year then as follows:

second row: Len Casey (hard as nails, tighten the defence, when he played full game if not sent off)

Centre: Gary Schofield ( fast as lightening, with brilliant rugby brain)
