Unfortunately, bang on. |

Depends what your definition of legend is I suppose. Do you base it on their ability or their service to the club? Peter Sterling is probably regarded as a legend by most if not all fans, but as good a player as he was does someone who only played 30 odd games for the club deserve that status?
How many players in the last decade or two would you class as legends? |

its a great question and one which deserves its own thread. loads of ways you can look at it - impact on short term appearances, sheer number of appearances, longevity at the club etc. i've been going since 1978 and in that time the bone fide legends i have seen play in my opinion are
knocker
sterlo
crooks
topliss
kemble
leuluai
swain
possibly horne
i'm leaving prescott out as i want my selections to be based on their time with the club, but yeah he's obviously a legend for other more obvious reasons
and thats about it |

IIRC Hull f.c has some sort of official legend/ roll of honour which was :-
Johnny Whiteley
Tommy Harris
Arthur Keegan
Clive Sullivan
Steve Norton
Can't fault that list - Proper Legends!

Even though our `coach' has said he can't pass or catch.
I'd limit the damage - stick him on the wing & make sure no one passes to him. |

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_67329.jpg |

What are the criteria/ingredients to be classed a legend then ?

Roy Francis was at the end of his playing career when he joined Hull from
Warrington. - Good centre, but his claim to fame was as a Legendary coach?

And who is to say Talanoa wont reach the legend status???
Legend is banded about too often, so is 'great' and 'world class', but I just think that Talanoa has everything in his armour to become a great at the club, its just whether he continues to improve and find that extra something

I've heard from a source (60/40 accurate TBH whether they happen or not) that S.Taylor and T.Leuluai are targets for FC recruitment next season.

I'd be happy with both of them, but I would look at James Green before Taylor. Not only do I think he has the potential to be better than Taylor, but he would be cheaper too.

Think Taylor is Aus bound, wants to have a crack at the NRL, before coming back to the Hull area to settle down. |
