The 10 most technically gifted Hull City players of all-time

Neil was almost past it physically when he played for City, but he could read the game extremely well. Problem was at the time he played for us he also had management responsibilities. In his "peak years" he was class.

 

My abiding memory of Terry Neill is him being ripped a new one against Luton by a young Malcolm MacDonald (70/71 ish) - what a bull of a player he was, I think he had more power and pace than any player I'd ever seen at that time.

 

I think he ripped most defenders a new one spes, he was of the old school no nonsense centre forwards of which there were a few in those days, not least Chris Chilton.

 

MacDonald reminded me of Bobby Smith(Spurs) from the previous generation of no nonsense CFs. Only ever saw him live once when watching Brighton on the S coast. They won 7-0 and Smith scored 5 that day if my memory serves me well.

 

Yes and Big Billy was technically gifted in many ways. Just not at controlling the ball.

 

You misunderstand the question. Who are/were our most technically gifted. Doesn't mean to say any of them were any good compared to say, now what's the name of that ****er who played for your lot?

 

Huddlestone. Gary Parker. Bobby Doyle. David Rocastle. Theo Whitmore. Very contentious but the tw4t Bullard. Tom Cairney. Rob Koren.

 

He was probably a fadge.

 

Chico Flores - a fadge personified

 

Neil Franklin fills that spot.

 

You are forgetting the standout No 1 - Roy Francis.

 

Think I remember Barnes' debut - set up a goal for Saville - v Sheff Utd or was it Barnsley.

Seem to recall him being a bit tom tit after that.

 

We had Terry Curran around then too. Over the hill, not interested, former wily wideman. Tainted with blunt and fowl connections.
Brash S Yorks mouthpiece personified.

 

Yes. He had that bit of quality to win us a game when needed.

 

I thought he was brilliant for us.

 

Probably my favourite goal that he scored for us.

 

Not sure about of all time , but I remember how far ahead of everybody else technically Barmby was when he signed , I remember watching him at Ferriby , and he struck a volley from a falling ball from 30 yards out which was flying towards the top corner , and it was funny because if anybody else in our squad has attempted it, some bodies windows down the street would have got put through

 

Late to the laughter, but surprised Marwood hasn't popped up in the list of alternatives to some of the joke names on the list like Diame and Bad Harfa.

 

Yer, I'm shamed to have forgotten about him.

 

There's a clip you should see of one of our players down at Torquay...
