Another vote for Arthur Keegan from me.

got to be keegan for me ,closely followed by Kemble (btw yorksguy is that Dubrovnik,or are the floods round York pretty bad just now)

Hey there subwaysav, yeah it is Dubrovnik hahaha just couldn't really think what to put as my picture and I love the Dalmatian coast, I walk around Dubrovnik in the black and white and that way everyone knows I'm a loud-mouthed Englishman! Lol

He certainly played at centre for Gt Britain when he and the legendary Wigan fullback Jim Sullivan played in the same team.

Also Freddie Miller only played full-back in a Hull FC career from 1932-1950 which overlaps with Joe in the 30's suggesting Joe played in the centre then. Certainly started as a fullback and my dad talked about him as a great fullback.

I would nominate him for the fullback position. Best I have seen is Keegan with my favourite being Freddie Miller!

It happens to us all.

Keegan for me even his understudy was good [Mally Owbridge went to Auss]
Joe Oliver was a centre in all the trophy winning teams .
My late farther always said Bob Taylor was the best forward he ever saw and he watched Hull from 1918 to 1990 said could play the game or muck it out

Gary Kemble
Paul Woods
Steve Prescott
Steven Holmes
Paul Fletcher
George Robinson

If you started watching FC in the 50s or 60s it has to be Arthur Keegan.

... 70s or 80s ... Gary Kemble

... 90s or 00s ... Steve Prescott

Colin Hutton, George Robinson, Paul Woods, Richard Gay and Shaun Briscoe also worthy of a mention.

some excellent stuff on here so far. i'll let it run for another day or so then put forward the 5 candidates from the most popular choices on here. then there can be a short argument over this list, if you feel i've missed yours out - but this is where you need to really put your case forward strongly. once this is done the voting will go on a separate thread, so everyone notices it

I saw Keegan play but was too young to really appreciate him. Kemble is the best I've seen and remember clearly. For sheer entertainment value, though he wasn't the best ever, nobody can compare with Paul Woods - there was always something happening when he was around.

Full back has to be one of the strongest positions for Hull throughout their history, or at least going back as far as I remember, though not all of them were representative players they tended to be above average and amongst the best players in the side.

Bit of a request here. This is great idea and something that will run well throughout the year can you though eventually feature the best goal kicker category please.

i think sammy loyd fits the bill there.it was said he got threpence for extra for every goal he kicked.do`nt know if that was true or not.

I was thinking Him or John Maloney! Sorry to go off topic!

Always remember John Gallagher and that great try he set up for us against Leeds in the Premiership Semi in 1991.

For me it has to be Kemble of the players I have actually seen play. Not a single player has ever got any where near him since.
I started watching in 76 and George Robinson was my first hero. Some years later I actually played against him and was over the moon to be on the same pitch as him. (how many "stars" will be playing amateur rugby in the future after a pro career)

For those who dismiss these kinds of threads I say the following.
Younger supporters reading about Keegan, Oliver, Kemble and seeing them nominated might actually feel inspired to read about them and actually learn about our history. Thats what this year is all about. However they learn about those players can only be good. So a thread where we all put our thoughts down is great and serves a great purpose.
Equally with at least one particular site I know having a vast archive of games going back decades, people might actually want to look these players up and see for themselves.

They are though pointless when it comes to votes as we will only vote for the star of our generation. So much so I wouldn't be surprised to see Motu getting more votes than Keegan or Oliver
