Great player and a nice guy too.'"

Ta. Loved that 2 or 3 of them couldn't put him down.

| My main memory (and I might be making this up ) was Leeds away, and a great try from Best was disallowed for stepping in touch. Replay showed he brilliantly kept his foot milliletres in, but was too late. I believe that this happened, but was clearly a bit drunk if it was leeds away

| One thing people may have not noticed on the profile or on the thread is he is actually playing centre now. Just shows a winger can switch to that position and manage to play it in the NRL. Only seen him playing centre this year not sure how long ago we made the switch.

| Think he's been a centre for about 3 seasons now. Was a joy to watch Besty when he was here. Him and Barnets partnership was unreal arguably the best in the league barring Hape and Vainakolo.

| The Panther was one of the best players i've seen in black and white and i've seen some good uns since 1979,pure class. I can remember taking time out to watch him for london at full back cutting into the line with perfection at the boulevard,even as an opposition player in a poorish team you had to admire the brilliance of the man. Little did we know we'd sign him,shift him to centre and put a rookie speedster outside him and the rest is history. His abilty to get on the outside of his opposing centre was done with such ease it had to be seen to beleived,not to mention his massive hit on pencywicz,one of my all time favourites for his pure class,everything Besty needed at the time.
All down to Bomber as well.

Yep I remember that - one arm waving about in the air picking out who to pass it to.
Class player - a real pro.

Prendiville and Sterling better than Best? lol

| One of the best wingers we've had at the club and his partnership with Barnett was great to watch.

| Close between him and Sterling, as Sterling played in a poor side and look excellent.
For me I'd go for Sterling just, if we have signed Sterling a few years earlier he would have been on a legend at Hull.
How old was he when we signed him?

Remember that too. I think he stepped out before he got he ball and hadn't got both feet back in the field of play when he caught it, so it was deemed to be in touch. Was a great try and was gutted when they disallowed it

About 27 I think, He didn't start playing Rugby till late . One of his best tries he scored for Hull was away at Fev . Stepped around 5 players to go 80 metres to score . Vaikona scored a great try in that game also iirc in a great comeback for Hull.

Was watching a couple of the games from that period a while ago and if I remember rightly, we where ripping it up, 3rd or 4th in the league, with a massive positive points difference.
And then we got decimated by injuries.
Don't think we have ever seen rugby like that at the KC since, on a consistant basis.
