Thanks Plum. Obviously the theme of this article was investment in Hull, and what kind of environment there is there. And Hull undoubtedly has a success story in green energy. On a personal level, I do feel that the way in which Hull has transformed in the 18 years since I moved to London has...

I shoehorned one reference in, in an article essentially about foreign investment in the city. I thought that was pretty impressive myself!

In case any of you are interested, here's an article I have written about Hull, the Siemens investment, and how wind power is giving the city a success story to take to the rest of the world.

Just a quick note to say that the Chillo GoFundMe appeal has passed £40,000. Along with donations made privately and other events/funds to come, this is a quite astonishing sum that has gone a long, long way to help the Chilton family out of a particularly bleak time. To all of you who did...

I can't begin to imagine what Libby's family have been through, but I would hope that this verdict will give them some sense of justice and relief amid the undoubted bleakness and grief that they must feel.

Would agree with that. I grew up on North Hull Estate, went to senior school on Orchard (where lots of my family lived - moved there from Hessle Road) and played rugby for Bransholme for years. I met so many good, good people who many would judge by appearances or silly preconceptions, and yet...

Aye, I still see his lad Nick. And I'm still in touch with Fiawell too. I don't know if I'd have been playing for them when you were doing the coaching. I think I joined around that time, though. I'd have been playing in midfield or defence I think. My dad ended up helping George run the team...

He was, yes. I'm still in touch with George. One of those lovely, unassuming blokes who did shedloads of work for a team without expecting anything in return.

No, this was Northern Athletic. Played on Oak Road. This would have been early 90s. We were a boys team that went into the men's league, and our manager knew Ron so got him in to offer a bit of experience. Which it's fair to say he did!

That's a real shame about Ron. Played up front with him when I first went into men's football, and he was, let's say, a veteran. I was all pace and no brains; he was all brains and no pace. We'd argue loads, him wanting me to hold the ball up more, me wanting to use my pace to hit teams on the...

I would say it's a serious meritocratic list, as everyone who's there deserves to be there. Brabin in particular. Having now spoken to a large percentage of his Great Escape team mates, they pretty much all say the same thing: Brabs was the main on-pitch reason why we stayed up. That half-season...

Jeff was one vote off getting the Committee's Choice last time out. Would imagine he'll be in there before long. Cliff Britton has always been in the shortlist but never quite received enough votes. I'd personally have him in there above one or two inductees but that's the beauty of these things.

The Hull City Southern Supporters started running one before the club started this one. It's voted on my all members, with four committee's choice inductees (less heralded people but deserving associated with the club who we select at our AGM). We had an initial inductee list of 21, and have...

Lots of people saying that the club have developed KLP since he was 8. I thought it was a fair bit later than that. Also, all this b******s about his commitment. All I need to see, commitment wise, is what he does on the pitch, and KLP delivers that in bucketloads week in, week out.

There is no evidence for the above whatsoever. Other senior players are reported to be annoyed at KLP's treatment. If those reports are true, would they feel that way if he was taking the **** in training? We've had far too many players (and managers, and other staff) find themselves in...
