MICK WENT ONE STEP FURTHER AND SENT HER HIS SHORTS FROM LAST YEAR SIGNED AND WITH A MESSAGE.

THANKS ALOT MICK MY LITTLE SISTER WAS THRILLED TO BITS

MICK VELLA TRUE GENT

Having had dealings with players from both Rovers and Hull in the past i know they go out of their way to accomodate fans wishes if at all possible.

Lots of this work goes on behind the scenes and the vast majority will probably be unaware of these gestures....unless it happens to relate to their own family or friends.

I am sure this happens at other clubs and as the Rugby League family we should be proud of these guys and long may it last.

Lovely story, well done Mick

A simple gesture like this means the world to the youngsters, well done Mick.

Sending soiled pants would be illegal normally wouldnt it??

Nice gesture though!

Did Hutch Maiva not do the same for you lot?

Weren't they his underpants after Newton had hit him though

he signed big mac Boxs instead

It's nice to hear of gestures like this. I wonder if some of the prima donna premier league footballers care enough about the fans to do this sort of thing.

I should imagine so, especially when there are conveniently tv cameras about.
