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

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.

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
Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.;
