Yes he was. Eric Sykes doesn’t get as many mentions nowadays as some but he was brilliant both as a performer and writer. Very interesting bloke to listen to talking about comedy as well. Corky on Sykes was more efficient than Corcoran.
Deryck Guyler was one of those figures us oldies grew up with on TV. There were some like him who appeared in no end of programmes in a way you don’t see nowadays.Do you remember the City poster John Alperton pinned to the notice board in Please Sir? Think it was for a game versus Oxford.

His father owned the grocery shop down Hessle road ,near PickyPark During Wintertime he used to write on the window whether the game was on Pauline Collins once caught the 73 bus from there Exciting times!
His family are from Hull. Born in Lincolnshire due to the war. City fan and also big cricket fan but gutted he would never play for Yorkshire due to being born in Lincs.

Brian Clough had his wife return to Middlesbrough for the birth of Nigel so he would qualify to pay for Yorkshire.
Did they pull Reeves after he got done for Drinking under the influence & leaving the scene of an accident?
SPECIAL | Hull City, owned by Acun Ilıcalı, is in talks with Ecuadorian national football player Enner Valencia.
Not sure what he’s like now but I remember him a few seasons ago for West Ham and he was a very good player. I imagine if he’s near that level still, in the championship he would be a fantastic addition
