Jason Smith is not a legend.

He was here for 3 seasons, and what did he, or we actually achieve?

I don't see any of them as legends.

To me a legend is someone who's influence goes above and beyond what happens on the pitch. The only 2 Hull FC legends IMO are Jack Harrison and Johnny Whiteley

The term 'legend' is used too often in sport these days and has been devalued.

Particularly by mods in their user names when referring to journey men aussies

He was the best player to wear the Hull shirt for a very long time. Incidentally, how long were Topliss or Sterling here?

Topliss was at Hull 4 years, in that time the team reached 6 finals and won the Challenge Cup.

Peter Sterling was at Hull for 2 years, and in that time the team reached the Challenge Cup Final, only to lose out to Wigan in 1985.

so Sullivan isnt a legend then, or Norton, Drake etc etc on the list of about 50 legends I could think of

??

The term Legend is as noted overused sometimes but there have been a few at FC since the end of the war that would fit into that class nicely

So only one actual trophy win, then? And he was playing in what was arguably a better team, too.



And no trophies for Sterling.

Jason Smith is certainly worthy of the same status as these two. If you think Sterlo and Toppo are legends (not saying you do, by the way), then Smith is as well. He might have been unlucky with injuries and, in his first season, wasn't surrounded by quality, but when he was fit he was absolutely amazing.

I'd say Smith was a legendary player just not an FC legend imo of course.

I think a look in the history books is required here. David Topliss captain from 81 to 85. In that time we won all but the premiership.
Sterlo certainly won at least the Yorkshire cup. Which whilst by today's standard would have ben classed as a minor trophy I am sure. Every cup then was a big deal.
