Hi , to save me going in the loft to dig out an old programme , has anyone got a photo of gary pearce they can post on here for me to forward onto a friend ? Thanks !

Nice one ! Cheers !

I was a big fan of Pearce.

I remember THAT game at Castleford when everyone got sent off and the scumbag Castleford player nearly ended Pearce's career.

Ronnie Gibbs?

Yeah, submarined him on the knees. I remember being livid about it on the terraces.

Great player Porky Pearce, what a step.

Pearce had a great kicking game, smart player.

I remember the FCfans trying to kick seven bells out of the winger on the next kick off, it all went crazy!

Remember him and Craig Coleman ripping wigan apart at central park. About 200 hull fans doing the conga in the rain

I was number 173



One of the best away games ever.

What a memory in life brilliant - one of the best .

saw him in hessle today

Didn't he cost us a win at Post Office Road?

IIRC it was his debut and we had an opportunity to take the points with the last kick of the match. He teed the ball up and as he approached for the kick it fell off its tee and Pearce attempted to kick it off the floor and missed. Nobody had bothered telling him that, unlike union, you can re-tee a ball if you've started your run up.

I still reckon his best moment was that win over Wigan at the Boulevard. We were losing and they were awarded a penalty on the half-way line. Lydon attempted a kick at goal that fell short, Pearce started running (as fast as he could manage anyway), the ball back and the whole of the Wigan team just seemed to stop and watch him. They were probably expecting him to fag out before he got too far but IIRC it ended with Kevin James going in at the corner and Pearce kicking the conversion for the win.

Thought it was Paul McCaffery (sp?) that scored that ? Happy days.

He lives in Corals on a Saturday





That game v Wigan, wasn't it Mcaffery who scored the winning try ??

You beat me to it Staffs

As I remember that game the teams were drawing when Wigan got the pen from long range, that's why they went for goal rather than kicking for touch and seeing out time.

Completely agree with Coddy best ever ending to a game I've seen If I remember rightly it was March 88 and the second game in for Dean and Hepworth in charge after Casey went. It went something like this,

We were level with a minute to go and conceeded a penalty on half way after Terry Regan shoulder charged Goodway. The penalty from Lydon fell just short Pearce fields it, sides stepped the Wigan chasers and ran 40 yards passed onto Dick onto McCaffrey who scored as the hooter went. The pitch had to be cleared of dancing FC fans so that the conversion could be taken.

Imagine the amount of 40-20s we would get if he was playing now,without doubt,the best kicker i have seen at Hull since i 1st went in 1975.

He would have had a field day.

He's fat, he's round, he's worth a million pound - Gary Pearce, GARY PEARCE!!!!

Great player and i was also there at Cas when his career was basically ended.

Thats probs his waist & inside leg now!

A great kicking game with either foot.

I was there....a wonderful night,right up there in best games ever.
