Friends from Canberra to Townsville have committed to traversing the eastern seaboard for the event, including former teammates Jarrod McCracken, Nik Kosef and Terry Cook. One of the highlights of the new fit-out is a collection of 60 framed jerseys Smith collected throughout his long career.

Cool. Good luck to him.

The Jerseys will look good, no doubt a few Hull FC ones on display

I know, it will be nice considering nobody knows us in Australia - Hull KR been the one they have all heard of.

they'll probably think they are old gold coast seagulls shirts

Good luck to him......for the 1st 2 seasons he was here,he was one of the best i have seen in a Hull shirt...when he had the ball in his hand,time seemed to stand still.

The best player I have had the pleasure of seeing live. Operated on a different planet to those around him.

got injured at the wrong time at the end of season 2001/2? (when we nearly won at wigan in the play offs without him and then controversial loss at home to saints). finished 3rd in the league and for long periods were the best team around. if he played in the play off it could have been different

A proper A list signing at the time for Hull and for the first couple of years was nothing short of majestic at times.

Sadly became a bit of a target for a few hatchet men and never really got the protection from the refs leading to niggly injuries (particularlty shoulder) hampering him towards the end of his Hull career.

The pub sounds spot on. Good luck to him.

The guy took us for a ride. Tells your ages if you think this guy was top class put on an old tape an see the Man P.Sterling. Jason smith got his injuries sorted out whilst here getting paid plenty. States he was retiring goes home plays two season solid no injuries and gives it all. Took us for a ride another waste of a quota player similar to some we have now.

i guess you were not a fan of his then??

Harsh in the extreme! Smith was exceptional for you guys the majority of time that he was here. I also reckon his club, state and international record would stand very favourably up against Peter Sterlings.

Jason had some bad medical advice when he was with FC, indeed there where several serious mess ups at the same time. A fit Jason Smith was a joy to watch and although I would agree STERLO WAS BETTER, Jason is up there with the best of them.

Indeed, some where self inflicted too.

You are right, fully fit and fully interested the guy was world class.

A good player I agree but wouldn't get in the best XIII I've seen in a Hull shirt. He could carry Knocker's bag for him though.

agree Id have Knocker in front of Jason everytime but I think a certain Mr Whiteley may be in front of them both. For producing the unexpected you could possibly slot Mike Crane in front of Jason as well.

Being too young to have seen Sterlo in the flesh, Smith remains my favourite FC player. Had it all for me.

He was a pleasure to watch.

He gets my vote, pure entertainer.

Crane and Norton were two of the best backrowers I've ever seen. Smith wasn't bad either.

Knocker was the man IMO. A wizard with the ball, hard as nails and a good turn of pace. Plus he was with Hull for 6 or 7 years. crane was an enigma but brilliant. Sterling was probably technically the best player I've seen in a Hull shirt but only really played a handful of matches for us.

Smith was definitely the best player we've had in the SL era.

Best player I've ever seen was wally lewis though

I think Mal Meninga played in the FC v Aussie game in 1982. Sadly I couldn't get to the game, being only 2 years old.

Jason Smith was the kind of player every team needs in their history books.

Saw him destroy Leeds at the Boulevard with his handling and kicking game, score a try at Halifax running through a brick wall in the game Steve Prescott won with a last minute drop goal and sent off in our first match at the KC. FC career ended by a cynical foul tackle by Wire Wood.

Behind Johnny Whiteley and Knocker in our all time XIII but nonetheless a terrific signing.

Appropriate name for the pub, being an ex Duller...

He was also a performer at times too.
