For those of us who weren't around in the early 80's, who is Toppo? |

I wasn't actually around to watch in the 80's, I only know him by reputation and what I've read. There was a piece in the 2005 CC final programme that featured him. [url=http://www.wakefieldexpress.co.uk/sport/DAVID-TOPLISS--A-SPORTING.319379.jpHere's[/url a profile/interview if you're interested. |

Just after I got the text about Agar, I bumped into a former player (from the early 1980's) who was involved with the original Gateshead set up. having played with Alan Agar, He was happy for Richard that he got the job. He also said, Hull and Wakefield were the only clubs he would ever consider going back to work for in the DOR role.
'"
Didn't realise D.T was involved with the original Gateshead set up.
Agreed, would be great for Hull ! |

Didnt he come back to work for Hull a few years ago in a part time capacity? Think it was a player recruitment role. |

His name was mentionned in those circles a while ago. Not sure if anything came of it though. |

IIRC he was involved with Hull FC behind the scenes briefly just after the merger.
Would be good to see him involved again but doubt it will happen.

Yeah he came as part of The Gateshead Club.
Toppo at the club would be just fantastic - a real 80's black 'n' white hero!! |

Been searching the net for a pic for people to see who he is but I can't find one!
The most famous pic of him is holding the challenge cup aloft after Hull won in The Replay at Elland Road with the other players around him!! 
I have it in a book but I don't have a scanner!  |

He did "assist" as a sort of advisor to the Gateshead franchise and did the same job when they came over to Hull.
Toppo was running his own engineering frim back in Wakey last tiem I talked to him and was a regular at wakey as well. I had no idea he had branched out into being an agent, in fact I am a little supirsed if he has. |

| Dave Topliss played in the FC Allstars team last year alongside players like Garry Schofield, Lee Jackson, Johnny Whitely (honest!), Chico Jackson,Don Robinson and even Prekkie (scored too!!! ). We are hoping he will be available for the Boulevard game against The KR Allstars this year too  |

| Its just occured to me that for the first time in my life I'm older than Hull's head coach (as well as the Chief Executive being younger than me). It was bad enough when I was older than all the players.
How old do I feel now.  |

| Quote ="Robbo4"My main concern about this situation is the familiarity the players will have with Agar and Last and the possiblity that we will just carry on where we left off. I'm quite prepared to give Rich my full backing here and really hope he can turn us into a successful side. Having said that I do have my doubts and worry that Rich has been too close to the action to perhaps be objective enough to make the tough decisions. Time will tell I suppose but for now I will reserve judgement and hope the board and Agar have got this right.'"
Some very interesting quotes on this thread (first started when Agar was appointed). Above was my take on the situation. |

I'm not bothered how old he is or where he comes from, so I don't see what is so great about having a "young British coach".
Agar will get my support and I desparately hope he proves me and other doubtors wrong, but I just feel this is an appointment that is not one a top club should be making.'"
He hasn't proved me wrong, unfortunately. |

I said to give him a chance, at the end of the day he had been given the job so we had nothing to lose. However having seen our play get no better and the results get steadily worse, i feel he has had a fair crack of the whip so to speak.
