Richard Swain for me
Jason Smith very close
Stevie Prescott

Cookie - never ever rated him to be honest, but he did make me smile at Cardiff!

i would say swain but a close second kearney , wot he did in that challenge cup year of 2005 was immense , a true leader and giant on and off the pitch

Swainy- best player in terms of overall influence on the team.

Jason Smith- best player in terms of being able to do something on the pitch that made you think, wow!!

put smiths brain into swains body and attitude and i think you'd be hard pushed to find a better player anywhere in the noughties!

Theres been many great players over the past ten years my top 6 are,

Matt Sing,
Adam Mahar,
Stephen Kearney,
Jason Smith,
Steve Presscott
& Richard Swain.

It has to be Richard Swain.

Never forget that match when he banged his head on the floor and was knocked out cold, but still managed to get up and still wanted to come back on and play.

Was that against Saints? I remember watching the replay on the big screen so it must have been on sky.

no probs with the rest but Matt Sing

Don't know how you can even compare Matt Sing with Paul Cooke. Sing hasn't even been our best winger from the noughties. Id have Raynor, Best and possibly Blacklock over the Matt Sing WE saw.
If you forget about the way Cooke left the club, he ran the show for us for our 2 most succesful seasons (2005 & 2006) and was an important player for us ever since he came into the team in 1999. I dont like the way he left the club more than anyone else but credit were its due Paul Cooke was a very important player for us during the noughties.
Still Swain and Smith for me overall though

Swain or Jason Smith.

I think personally the pain that blacklock played through and the injuries he had would make him one of my favourite players of the period, good or bad he always entertained us!!
Best player close between Smith and Mac
Swain was world class but in fairness a tackling machine not a great ball handler

as an outsider i would have said Cooke. When he was on form he created attacks that were hard to defend against. His kicking and long cut out pass was the thing that gave you a great attack. without cooke you would have been a poorer team

where did you get matt sing from ????? swain by a mile !

1 Swain - Best captain ive seen for Hull, and the best player
2 Kearney - Great leader
3 Jason Smith - Some off the stuff he did was brilliant

Blacklock is one of my favourites though. Cult hero.
Horne is up there too as a favourite.

1. Jason Smith - Simply world class in his first 2 years here, but sadly injuries got the better of him
2. Richard Swain - Led the side great and was so consistant
3. Paul Cooke - Most Hull fans will remember him for the way he left but in 2005 and 2006 he was our best attacking player and was a massive factor in getting to the GF and winning the Challenge cup

Swain was inspirational, but J. Smith was the best.

Jason Smith without doubt.
Second Swain
Third prob Colin Best

I can't believe no one has mentioned Thorman.
