Players you were sad to see leave

Leigh Jenkinson aka 'shuffle'

 

I've just entered my ninth decade of watching and supporting "The Tigers", Sadly after being a regular at home games in the late 40s and 50s I am now in my 80s forced to watch on TigersTV at 7 am on Saturday mornings at my home in British Columbia.

I've been sad to see many of my favorite Hull City players leave or retire from playing over the years, but one stands out in my mind..

Horatio Stratton (Raich) Carter. A very very sad day for all of us City fans when he left the club. What a player !!!

 

Jay Jay and Thudd for me, natural footballers - albeit not complete athletes!

 

Actually, although he was confined to occasional cameos, and his leaving was against a backdrop of the euphoria to premier league for the first time, I was gutted when Jay Jay went. I'm not sure how many minutes he played for us, but I have more magical memories of him than most others I have seen. That first half vs Burnley was a master class until the ref (Dean?.) ruined it by evening things out and making him the fourth (?) sending off before half time . I believe that was his last ever appearance and the only time he was sent off. Absolute pleasure to watch.

 

I remember watching him at Wolves away - he was unbelievable waltzing through the Wolves penalty area at one stage - when he was substituted the whole stadium game him an standing ovation

 

Jay Jay was amazing

 

And Mike Dean's a weapons grade ****.

 

And so is mike Riley

 

andy robertson because i made a post
that we would make a huge profit on him
i saw his potential

harry maguire is garbage though
i still think its ridiculous he was bought for 80m
hes bang average at the top level
never understood the rating around him
he is nothing close to a world class centre back
luckiest man to ever live in my opinion
again as i always said

 

Although I don't recall the experiences vividly, my granddad started taking me to watch City play in the 51-52 season, which was the last one Carter was at City.
Everyone talked about how magnificent a player he was. The thing I remember most about him was that he managed the best player I ever remember seeing play for City - one Ken Wagstaff, when he was playing for Mansfield. A joy to watch - as were most of his team-mates during the mid-late 60's (Chilton, Houghton, Butler etc).

 

My Dad said Raich was the best player he ever saw. He even went to his funeral and though I offered to go with him, he didn't want me to go. I'm guessing he knew it was going to be emotional for him.

 

I said the very same about maguire when he was with us,but i got slaughtered by the little clique that exists on here.....and we all know who they are

 

Who are they please?

 

Harry McGuire is garbage ? No , he really isn't. Wether he is 'worth' £80 million is another debate.

I don't think I'm in any clique as far as I know

 

I’m in most cliques on here and I’ve always said Harry’s a lucky boy
Makes a lot of mistakes but they never get mentioned, here and at Leicester.

 

I haven't seen Harry play apart for Ingurland. Is he **** for Chelsea? He was great for City and Inglundn

Am I in a click? I bet I'm not ya bastards

 

I’m in the anti kempton clique
and the keep kemps in the dark clique
To name just two

 

But but I like you I always liked you
