Can't beat Yeamo's quote in the article in the HDM "Coming from East Hull people automatically think you should go and play for Hull KR," Yeaman explained. "Personally I couldn't think of anything worse".
Fair play to Yeamo, his induction in to the clubs Hall of Fame is fully deserved.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

Even he'd been a poor player (which he wasn't), the quote above is worthy of a place in the Hall of Fame. Well done Yeamo.
It was about time that Jack Harrison was added so that was good to see. What a glaring omission up to now, especially when (no offence) Vaikona is in there despite just four seasons at the club. He scored a lot of tries but most of them were in the Championship.
I wonder why the club record appearance holder, Ned Rogers has never been added? What a career - 500 appearances over almost twenty years., 103 tries and 533 goals. He would've played over 600 had it not been for World War I.
Long overdue for Yeamo a true hero and one that has shown his absolute loyalty over the years with his quotes about his love of the Club. I once asked him about the day Rovers tried to sign him, he laughed!!!!! Being on his Testimonial Committee with Lisa his wife was a real honour (simply because they appreciated what we all did for them so much) as was dedicating a book to him. Loyalty such as Yeamo showed to our beloved Club should be rewarded, particularly when he is the clubs third highest scorer and played the amount of games he did. Statistics that don't lie. Top bloke on and off the field!

Incredible that Roy Francis is not included. An iconic player, team captain, player coach and coach in Hull's greatest decade in their history. Words fail me!

Never really paid attention to it before, but had a look yesterday, really surprised to see Vaikona there, think they are plenty of others who deserve a place more than him.

It does seem a bit lopsided. If you look at the names on the list it’s mostly 80’s and 90’s based. Perhaps Wilf can shake them up a bit. You could always write and nominate Roy.
