All time greatest Hull FC team No.13 - The Loose Forward : Mon May 25, 2015 5:27 pm  

Ok so we reach the last starting position to be filled (there will be categories for the interchanges and coach still to come) and if you thought the hooker position was tough to select then try this one for size, probably the position that's going to spark the biggest debate - several outstanding candidates coming up here i'm sure.

Please put forward your candidates for the loose forward position

Steve Norton is my favourite player in 37 years as a Hull supporter.

Can you possibly omit Johnny Whiteley from an all-time Hull XIII, though?

Jon sharp was in this position when I first started following FC, I liked tony Grimaldi he was a top professional, Craig fitzgibbon was a world class player wish we had a player in the team like him now, but my favourite loose forward is jason smith he had everything he could change the tempo of the game, something only a handful of players can do. I never got to see the older players like knocker & them.

Only one man Stevie Knocker Norton

Special mentions to Craig Fitzgibbon, John Sharp, Tony Grimaldi and the wonderful Jason Smith. The best I ever saw was Knocker Norton. But how can we miss out probably the BEST player to have every put on the famous irregular hoops. My granddad who began watching Hull in the early thirties, and is now sadly not with us, would not have listened to any argument about the other candidates[and he saw all the above play for Hull except Fitz]. That will do for me.

KNOCKER

i know its a difficult with gentleman John in the frame, but when Knocker knocked them down they stayed down. I have yet to see a better 13 in the English game

John Whiteley - All the skills and more supreme rugby brain ball handler and creator not shirking any tackling and most importantly inspired leadership got the best out of those around him

Knocker for me , favourite all time player but like someone said , how can you leave whitely out !

Whiteley.

Has anyone even come close to his achievements since? If it ends up as anyone else it'll make a mockery of this team.
