Already in the FC Hall of Fame.

Never Casey, Smith or Crane for me.

Re: Len Casey in FC Hall of Fame? : Tue Aug 23, 2011 12:40 pm  

who is already in the hall of fame?

is it done on a position by position basis or are there some positions not decided yet.

btw i'm a believer in only having a few players in a hall of fame - that way you get the truly great players and don't risk filling it with other players just for the sake of a decent 5 course dinner and night out

As far as loose forwards go Norton and Whitely and I don't think anyone will argue with that. This vote is for the 3rd choice and I'm surprised that Casey even got a nomination - surely there have been better than him other than the 3 other nominees who were all clearly superior and contributed more as a Hull player. Casey played 5 years (not particularly long) in an undistinguished side and was hardly considered the star man. His fame as a player, that of a cheap shot merchant known for late hits on the opponents half backs, was earned with another team.

However if the dobbins were to do a hall of fame then Casey would be a walk in, chiefly for the harm he did to Hull with his disastrous coaching spell.

FWIW my choice would be Crane, a very good player and always entertaining - though I wouldn't have wanted to be his coach.

Mick Crane was one of the best back rowers I've ever seen at Hull.

The farcical nomination of Casey may come back to embarras whoever did it. Desperately sad moron Easty is rallying his fellow deluded fools on the dobbins forum to vote for Casey.

Mick crane was such a tallented player when he wanted to be
when he bothered to turn up to training and not betting and drinking.
