Len Casey in FC Hall of Fame? : Mon Aug 22, 2011 6:39 pm  

From the Official site, Casey as a nominee for loose forward. http://hullfc.com/newsarticle.aspx?n=18381 And it isn't dated 1 April. Its not as if he had a particularly long and distinguished career as a Hull player. Then add in the huge damage he caused to the club its worst ever coach. I would have thought that Gary Divorty for one had a longer and better career at Hull and there surely must be others far more deserving than Casey.

Len Casey no .......................never

Harold Ellerington should be in there for sure and ahead of Crane or Smithy

Can't recall Crane being at Hull until 1987.

Anyone know when his last appears was and against whom?

He played 18 times in 1986-87 (having been away from the club the two previous years). He started the first six games in 1986-87 at loose forward then made further appearances in the mid part of the season. His final game for Hull was again in the 13 shirt against Leigh in a home Challenge Cup defeat on 1st March 1987.

Definitely deserves a spot in the Hull Hall of Fame.

More than Casey does that's for sure.

One of my all time favourite players is Mick; an absolute quality player with every skill in the book.

We'll have to take your word for that as I bet most on here never saw him play.

Bet Rich Horne can't wait until 2070 when people once again state he was a great half back

Where is Knocker ? is he in as 2nd row. I would have thought he would be a shoe in, one of the best I ever saw.

Agar will be wondering where Radford's name is at LF.
