No matter if you consider him a Hull FC legend or not he is a legend of the game itself and glad he played for Hull FC.
Just a shame he finishes his career like this.
thanks for the memories Fitzy, Wish you and your family all the best for the future..

And of all the grounds he's played in in both hemispheres, to bow out at Wheldon Road is probably the least befitting of him.  |

Why is it? He's played in the world's best RL stadiums and is one of the leading forwards of his generation. To go out in a ground where the "best" stand is a wreck badly patched with plywood, the terrace crumbling to pieces (literally) and the home fan base about 4k, when it should have at least been at home at the KC in front of 14k fans, is a big disappointment, for him and us. |

If it was good enough for Mal Reilly to start and end his career there then it should be good enough for Craig Fitzgibbon. Many, many greats have treaded the famous Wheldon Road turf over the years and i reckon that looking back Fitzy will be proud to have it on his CV. |

And if he could have chosen a ground to retire on, it would have been Wheldon Road rather than the KC or the DW or Old Trafford. OK then. |

He would have chosen lifting the Super League trophy at Old Trafford for Hull FC. That isnt the point of the discussion though is it? |

No the point is this. Of all the grounds in Super League, Wheldon Road is IMO the worst. At Salford you get covered Standing behind the goal. At Wakefield there's at least an attempt to provide corporate facilities and the toilets work. Wheldon Road is a dump. At the other end of the spectrum you have the DW, KC and HJ with fantastic facilities and gates >10k. My comment therefore that Fitz deserved to go out at the best stadium in the comp and actually went out at the worst is justified. |
