| For his overall record Tinga would have to be in there. Sully is a no brainer. Then you've got the likes of Paul Prendeville and Alf Macklin who for just the pleasure of watching players with character would have to be on my list. Paul Eastwood had a great scoring record for us , could kick as well and did it at the top level on the international scene for a short while too.

My mum watch Hull for a few years after the war, and Bruce Ryan is the one name that always crops up.

Sterling was my favourite. That try away at Doncaster was sensational.

| Clive Sullivan - 250 tries for the club (26 more than anyone else and only half a dozen or so players have got within a hundred of him).
Jack Harrison VC - aside from his heroism and sacrifice made during the Great War he still holds the club record for tries in a season a hundred years later - 52 tries in 43 games.
Some great personal favourites of mine like O'Hara, Prendeville and James but it simply has to be the above two.

| It has to be Clive Sullivan and Jack Harrison.
As for characters, Keith Bowman, Wilf Rosenberg, Terry Devonshire, Nobby Oiliver and Chico Jackson are all worthy of mention. And Matt Daylight scored a hat trick in a certain notorious Cup Semi final

| Of those I have personally seen it's the old guard, Sully by far and away the best, though I never saw him in B&W in his pomp.
Dane O'Hara was international class.
Jason Eastwood for reasons I can never quite work out. But Mal Reily and Brian Smith made him world class.
Two favourite unsung heroes are Alf Macklin and Taffy.
Of those I never saw Jack Harrison's record speaks for itself. Others I know very little about.
I will add that I wouldn't include any wingers after Eastwood's era.

| Bruce Ryan.
Clive Sullivan.
Ivor Watts.
Jack Harrison.
My dad saw all these play but Ryan was his favourite. Ryan for me and many others in that post WW2 era was iconic and is my best. Sullivan was great and little Ivor Watts was an outstanding servant of the club. Combination would be Ryan and Sullivan.
Will add that my uncle(mums side) served in WW1 in the same Regiment as Jack Harrison, died in France and was posthumously awarded a Military Medal.

| Sully is the easy and obvious choice, not only very good but he did it over a long career. I'm struggling to think who else stands out from the rest, plenty who have had good but relatively short careers of the 2 to 5 year length and when you are talking all time you would hope there's more. One real blast from the past who is before just about before everybody's time is Billy Stone, good enough to tour Down Under and score 149 tries for the club in the 1920's - on this information alone he must have been useful. Also someone will have to say it but Tom Briscoe's record stacks up well against at lot of the other names mentioned here.
For personal entertainment value I enjoyed watching Super Taff. However as a cult hero there is nobody to match Super Alf, who looked nothing like a winger is supposed to look but managed to get the job done and at times outdid some illustrious opponents.

Billy Stone played with Billy Batten as his centre for a few years in the early 20's and was a goalkicker too. The first Challenge Cup final my dad went to was in 1922 at Headingley, when Hull lost 10-9 to Rochdale Hornets. Hull scored in the final minutes in the corner and Biily Stone missed the conversion. He went to another 3 CC finals and never saw them win. I have been to 4(including 2 of his) and never seen them win either.
