is young enough and certainly has shown glimpses that he could be a major player for fc in years to come.i remember during the midst of the season a lot of people raving about him,before his form dipped slightly.a few poor games and we should get rid!!!!there is no wonder people like myler and co prefer not to come to hull.

I went to school with Mick and he is one bloke I can honestly say that fame money or years never changed him. Mick was Mick, simple as. He astounded every one once by turning up for pre-season training at Hesslewood, Bunt told him he'd only get in the way and sent him back home and told him to be ready for the first match.

Mick enjoyed his Park Drive and the gee-gees, contrary to popular belief, he wasn't that much of a drinker. I've seen him in the boardroom, pre-match, flogging Warren Winetroube (director and club solicitor) a pair of Italian shoes that his mate had kyfed off the dock.

I have never seen a more naturally gifted footballer in my life. And he always had a grin on his face - the most infectios and mischievious grin you could imagine

Could he cut it in today's game?

I doubt it very much, he's 58 FFS

Absolutely agree with you.

tansey has just had a operation,didnt realise he needed one,anybody know what the injury was?

Hey! That's my story.

Fook.

It'll ave gone missing with the Joe Oliver medal.

Hernia, i think.

He droppedf a bollock?

Who'd a thunk it eh?

On fire tonight or what!!

iknow alot of people on here either hate him or like him. I tipped him at the start of the season to be a player of the year or a fans player. I was wrong on his performances, but he sure has the ability to be that. I think having long and horne out for the lengths of time didnt help his cause.

Its now proven by his performances that he seems to be hit and miss, But for me with a fit half back partnership the way he links up with them he is still caple of making my predictions.

With his suspensions again maybe i might be wrong he could be another kingy, or whatever. But for me again next season i will still stick with it again for next year.

Id love him to knockle down as i really do think he has it in him to be a good player for hull fc. I hope he proves the doubters wrong

I disagree, I think the overwhelming feeling on here at the moment is "here we go again, talented prospect who is prone to going off the rails, another 'could have,would have,should have, if only'"

Down the years we've invariably had a "socialiser" in the squad, some of them did it and still pulled it off in training and on the field, others did it, trained averagely but were great game day, but more and more in modern sport you simply can't mix it, it's a short career where your body would, ideally, be a "temple", unfortunately it comes at a time in life (and with associated cash etc.) where your body is a dustbin and life can be a bit of a fun fair.
