Swain never played in the halfs,you getting mixed up with Berrigan?......as for Treister...how many matches did he play?

Eh?

Swain never started in the halves for us. Not even once.

As for Treister, he was great, but he barely played half a season. 3rd all time is ridiculous.

I'd have Harris,Wileman,Patrick,Dixon ahead of Treister and if we want to put players in like that then how about Lee and Godwin.

When voting for the all time greatest team over a span of 150 years, I find it bordering on the ridiculous that some are suggesting a player in Dean Treister, who spent just half a season in a Hull shirt.

Tommy Harris was before my time, but his stats and reputation stand up to anyone elses

Lee Jackson was tremendous for Hull but left under cloud.

But of all all the players I have seen, Richard Swain would be the one I would say not only gave everything whilst on the pitch, what he gave was of the highest quality and he inspired others with his leadership.

Ooops! Just ignore me and move on

Harris, Swain & Jackson for me, in that order.

Treister

Forgot about Mike Dixon tbh, always enjoyed watching him play. His turn of pace at times was electrifying, remember him going around Graham Steadman like he wasn't there. I agree about Treister, how on earth he's getting a place in anyone's top 3 is baffling.

Who was the hooker we got that came from Gateshead, he wasn't a bad player.

Mick Jenkins?

Dixon or swain for me...closely followed by jackson

That's him, cheers.

Dixon over Jackson?

Ronnie came up with some special moments that will always live in memory for me, but Lee was the best in my opinion

Alan McGlone gave the club great service during (and after) a 12 year playing career.

Just a reminder to some of the people here that this supposed to be an all time greatest Hull team, not just the last 25 years which in any case haven't been historically that successful. Of course we all have favourite players that we have personally seen and no doubt have a natural bias towards them and being a relatively old git myself I have probably seen more than the majority of posters in here. None the less there are some old timers - from way before my time who have left an enduring legacy and have metaphorically been there and got the T shirts - whole wardrobes of them in fact. Just a suggestion but you can get an idea of how players were rated by their peers by the representative honours they collect. The best players tend to feature in the eras when the side was better - making finals and placing high in the league and to make an impact at Hull they need to play a decent number of games as well. So to some I would just say step back and think a minute - was your favourite an international when at Hull? Did he break any records? How many games did he play and did he shine in the big ones? If you honestly think that he ticks those boxes then go ahead but remember we are supposed to be looking back over more than 100 years and there may be better candidates.

As I said earlier in the thread Ronnie Wileman was a personal favourite of mine to watch but he's nowhere near the best to play for Hull, you can enjoy players whilst recognising their limits.

Sorry I had to rant on a bit but to suggest a one season player is somehow worth even comparing with a 25 time GB international is just that bit too far.

good points and i would second all of that. go and read about some of the great players of the past and what they did for the club. its easy to vote for your favourite but this is not what it is really about. knockers bump and freddie miller do excellent jobs on these threads bringing up some of the old names.

also ask your parents and grandparents opinions, they'll have seen more players through the years
