Motto of the week -
It is the way of the weak to secretly bleat to those in authority rather than fight their own battles.:27608.jpg |

I can remember back in around 1998 when King broke his wrist whilst playing in the reserves. For several weeks after he turned up on matchday, got the pot cut off, strapped up the wrist and played the match before a trip back to casualty to get it re-potted.
Whatever peoples thoughts on King, you certainly can never question his toughness or mis-guided pleasure in playing for your club.
He will end up retiring without fulfilling his potential but he has still had a career that all of us who post on here could only dream of.

I meant Rugby career. I am not disputing that it is his fault that he has not fulfilled his potential. That is why people are so frustrated with him. |

Fair point.
I actually feel sorry for the guy, could have done so much more, I'd hate to imagine spending 40 years with the regrets Paul will have, assuming he clears his debts in time to enjoy any retirement. |

The financial aspect is probably the saddest part of the Paul King story because i reckon he will have made enough money in his career to be sat pretty comfortably off at the minute but the probability is he will be labouring on a building site within 6 months of retiring.
Compare that to Lee Radford who comes from a very similar background, will have earned very similar money over his career i would have thought but has been sensible with it. |

Yup, but the phrase "fools and money" kicks in again. |

He could have been a real Hull FC legend and a GB regular if he'd applied himself and kicked on from 2001. His occasional spells of form were not enough and the club is right to allow him to leave.

| Quote: Ian P "Kingy seems like yesterday when I was with you Dad at the Boulevard watching your first turn out, a lot of water has flown past Sammys point since then. He could maybe have achieved more, he acheived helping us into SL, he helped to keep us there when things got rough in 99. He managed a Challenge cup winners medal, runners up medal and SL play off runners up medal. Not as much as some but more then a lot more, remember upto this year Lee Bries had got zilch. His fear of flying and confined spaces has been well documented, suffice to say the detractors had a field day with that.
Maybe the off field stories are true, most are wildy exagerated of that I have no doubt. He has always given effort on the pitch and he has a rapport with the fans, he is one of them and one that has not forgotten where he came from. He will be no doubt sat with us in future years, like so many others from the past held in esteem for deeds acheived, not mis deeds. Too many of our fans did not see Kingy back in his youth ripping defences apart and giving us hope for the future.
Kingy will join the elite group of greats simply because he was Kingy, a fans favourite. A human being who wore his heart on his sleeve and never wanted to leave his only PRO club, perhaps this is not quite the end of the Paul King show quite yet
Cheers'"
Top post Ian!
Kingy's a throw back to the players of old! He'd have fitted in well with the team of the early 80's!!  |

If you just fight terrorism, it's based in fear. If you promote peace, it's based in hope:26336.gif |

no, you're just a parasite who feeds off peoples misery to make money. As for Paul King, Thanks Paul for all your efforts in playing for Hull FC over these last 10 years. |
