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.

you are aware kearney only played 24 times for us aren,t you

Yes. What's your point?

sorry my error,thought you had said earlier kearney was a legend but it was sebasteeno

Gutted about this, really am.

A living legend of the game, a great professional and a true role model.

All the best Fitzy, it's been a pleasure.

I would say Kearney is a HullFC legend, even after just one season. His performances in the CC Semi and Final in particularly were top class and played a big part in us lifting the trophy. He is definitely one of the best I've seen wear the Black and White.

overall I'd say Fitz and Kearney have offered similar skills and quality to us...its just Kearney played in a better team so had more impact.

There is no way Kearney is an FC legend after just one season at the club, neither is Fitzy.

Swain is and always will be an FC legend. Spent a good few years at the club and will always be remembered.

agreed, on both, this "Sir Fitz" stuff is just silly.

Went onto the pitch after the Wire game to get my shirt signed, the sky camera's caught me too.....I walked away thinking 'I should have bowed' to the great man. LEGEND!

Agree with all that.
