he hasn't fone anything legendary in a Hull FC shirt, he's been a solid professional and a pleasure to watch, but nothing more.

Consumate professional - yes
FC legend - no way

Let's hope he can get fit and put in some performances fitting of ending such an illustrious career before the end of the season

Agreed. Fitzgibbon has been a great signing and his professionalism has been a breath of fresh air. He's not a Hull FC "legend" though, that word is bandied about far too much and it should be reserved for the likes of Knocker, Sullivan and Whiteley.

indeed, there hasn't been a Hull FC legend (in the true terms) for 20 years+, Steve Prescott is an RL legend, not for what he did at FC, but certainly for what he has done since.

Swain? I'd have him up there personally

close, his determination and professionalism were immense, still not quite legend though.

Seconded. I'd say legends are the players you see yourself comparing all future players in that position against, and telling stories about the things they did in awed tones to your kids/grandkids. Swain is that bloke, with the moment I'll never tire of telling being the determination and effort to charge down that Sinfield drop goal attempt after 80 minutes of non-stop work and leadership. That won us the cup every bit as much as Cooke's drop of the shoulder, Bai's moment of madness, Brough's drop goal, and McMenemy's kick downfield for us to retrieve the ball.

You certainly know how to raise the heart rate with a post Carl.

Hell of a day though, wasn't it? Me & the old man were just about in tears one minute, jumping up and down hugging the next. Made the long trip back a lot more bearable, even the service station food seemed nice.

Tell me about it. I had my head in my hands (moaning about another loss) when PC scored and I missed it. The last few minutes seemed like a life time, as the hooter went I just sat blubbering at the wife and kids, Just like any other Saturday.



We stayed over and I had the pleasure of seeing all those cocky Whino's fans that'd given me grief beforehand trudging off home.
