Also played full back so maybe he should be in the team twice?

He certainly played at centre for Gt Britain when he and the legendary Wigan fullback Jim Sullivan played in the same team.

Also Freddie Miller only played full-back in a Hull FC career from 1932-1950 which overlaps with Joe in the 30's suggesting Joe played in the centre then. Certainly started as a fullback and my dad talked about him as a great fullback.

I would nominate him for the fullback position. Best I have seen is Keegan with my favourite being Freddie Miller!

Keegan for me even his understudy was good [Mally Owbridge went to Auss]
Joe Oliver was a centre in all the trophy winning teams .
My late farther always said Bob Taylor was the best forward he ever saw and he watched Hull from 1918 to 1990 said could play the game or muck it out
