The Hull City Southern Supporters Hall of Fame

Hello everyone,

At the Hull City Southern Supporters we decided to launch our own Hall of Fame, given that there doesn't seem to be any such thing in existence (certainly officially). After making Les Mutrie the first inductee a couple of months ago as the Committee's Choice, we then put out a poll to our members to decide the next 20. A total of 98 people voted (20 votes each from a long list of 75 players/managers/owners). Some big names missing, as was bound to happen (who would you leave out?) but overall and interesting group. Here's the 20 anyway, running from the most votes a the top:

1. Ken Wagstaff
2. Ian Ashbee
3. Chris Chilton
4. Raich Carter
5. Dean Windass
6. Billy Whitehurst
7. Stuart Elliott
8. Justin Whittle
9. Nick Barmby
10. Billy Bly
11. Warren Joyce
12. Phil Brown
13. Andy Dawson
14. Adam Pearson
15. Tony Norman
16. Garreth Roberts
17. Andy Davidson
18. Harold Needler
19. Keith Edwards
20. Peter Taylor

 

I should add that we only considered players who've retired and managers/owners who've left us five years since, hence there being no Boaz, Steve Bruce, Damien Delaney and so on.

 

I did wonder why Markus Henriksen wasn’t the front runner. That explains it.

Seriously though - good work Richard and the HCSS.

 

Brilliant work from the HCSS.

 

I was nearly seething then

 

Someone on Facebook reacted to Ashbee's high placing in this with absolute fury! He's not on here too, is he?

 

Good work, but can't believe Andy Davison is so low down. Talking of missing names, I can think of an old time fan who would be incandescent to see some off the names chosen above his idol, Bill Bradbury. Some might think the same about Vigo Jensen, though they were both before my time.

Personally I would have Houghton and Butler above some of those, and even Mally Lord for his dedication to the cause. But it is all about personal opinions, which are largely based on age and when you enjoyed games the most.

 

Aha that explains why Barmby's on there, but not Alex Bruce.

S'all opinions aint it and yet again, good work by HCSS.

 

I'd put Ashbee above Waggy and the 5 year rule must put Giovanni close.

 

Some dodgy ones. Gareth Roberts should be far higher and certainly above Barmby and whittle.

 

While I liked Geo if he gets in then in another five you'll have nearly the full team from 2013-16.
HUD, Jake, Elmo etc

 

Andy Payton?

 

Doesn't the "five-year rule" only apply to managers/owners? Isn't retirement the sole qualification for players?

 

And in five...

Nah I read it wrong

 

Was Geovanni on the long list ?

 

Yes he was. The long list is still visible for a couple of hours on the Hall of Fame page of the HCSS website.

 

Adam Pearson Really.

 

Ryan France was on the long list but Jay Jay wasn't? Hmmm...surprised Manucho didn't make it as well.

 

Amended for you - it's my pleasure

 

Thanks Barchullona. In some respects I wish we’d widened it a little as Houghton and Jensen would be in there for two. But then you don’t want to dilute the accolade either. And we will add to it every year. Overall i’m happy with the spread of eras in there though.
