I need 2 or three really. For a project I am doing.

Maybe suggest 2 and i will see who overlaps.

Thanks

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. www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Win-copi ... story.html

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

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.

Be prepared- he is one of the 20.

what about Richard horne. played for fc since 16, played big part in getting to Wembley on occasions and grand final, not to mention the try scoring record he holds/held??????

Any player who has a social media account, interacts with fans, poses for selfies or drinks in the same pubs as them

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!

calm down Horne's in it!

As is Colin Hutton, who will be a surprise to many but not to some who were watching in the 50's.

Billy Batten, Johnny Whiteley, Clive Sullivan.

Mick crane,swain,whiteley,norton.

From my time of watching

Swain, Horne, Whiting

Whiting is definitely not a legend, wouldn't even say Horne is one.

Legend doesn't mean greatest player or the most medals, it means players of integrity, loyalty, endeavor when the chips are down. It means class, respect and honour.
it's those whom have garnered the ultimate respect from both fans, players and coaches, i guess some of the latter generation names bandied around like Swain and kearney etc deserve recognition for what they did to help the club to success, does that make them legends in their own right above those that gave their all to the club often without reward or during barren times, IMHO, no it doesn't.
it's always a subjective list as to whom are legends but this is mine
Jack Harrison VC
Bob Taylor
Harold Bowman
Ned Rodgers
Joe Oliver
Johnny Whiteley MBE
Tommy Harris
Alf Macklin
Mick Scott
Clive Sullivan
Steve Norton
Richard Horne

In the time I've been watching I'd only really label Swain as a legend. Couple of others come close but Swain was the real deal.

Best 2 players I've seen play for us are knocker and sterling . If your looking for 2 legends I'd say knocker and Whiteley

For my third I would add John Whiteley to Batten and Francis.

Seeing both Whiteley and Norton would put Whiteley a street ahead of Norton who was a disappointment for me when he was out here playing for Gt Britain and Manly. He was not a patch on the other ex-Castleford player Mal Reilly he replaced and Phil Lowe who played in the same Manly team was the forward I liked to watch.

Having said that I can support him as one of the 20 legends selected in the book.

Should be Joe Oliver the man Old Faithfull is based on and John Whiteley if your doing a thesis
Could add Sammy Evans to that not that he's an actual HullFC Legend but is a the only player to play for us ,them and City

What about bluey Greg Mackey he wore his heart on his sleeve what a player.

In my team for the best over the past 150 years Joe Oliver would play Full Back.

If Paul Cook hadn't committed the ultimate sin and joined the**** from across the city, he would have definitely been on everyone's list

This.

And for that reason Horne is in, along with Swain, Mackey, Whiting, Norton, Crooks, Smith and now Ellis and Minichello and I'm sure many others not mentioned.
