RIP Christopher Needler. The reluctant chairman. Did his best when others turned their backs. Held the club together with little support after the death of his father for the memory of his father and his families long relationship with Hull City.

Really sorry to hear about the passing of Chris, I worked with him for a short time and was a true gentleman. He never had the same enthusiasm for City as his father but tried to make sure his legacy continued under difficult circumstances. RIP Chris.
