KLP also had a big pre-season for Brentford, was getting a lot of positive reviews, so think he's happy where he is.
My Grandfather was in the East Yorkshire’s during World War 1. He was gassed and taken for dead. He ended up in a mortuary with Pennies over his eyes where upon he woke up and was declared not dead. Piece about him and that adventure in the HDM a few years ago.
All sponsorship does! If it's quite lucrative it might explain the splash of activity despite no major outgoings.
That actually makes a lot of sense. King Alfred etc and the fact that Fenerbahce seem to be our unofficial feeder club. Not sure how I feel about that. Is he past his prime?
I really hope this thread is just a bunch of people in on the joke, but for anyone that isn't - it was an offhand joke about Guess Who and nothing more.
I don't think Josh King is a blow your socks off signing the way they have bigged it up, and actually saying it would show the club can attract a big name player to a club like Hull City, not saying he would not do well here he probably would but a statement like that is resererved for someone like Okocha.
Josh King! **** off. That's not blow your socks off. It's put your socks back on. Then your shoes. Then some plastic disposable overshoes. Then some more socks.
I had a relative who lived in the Spring Bank area. He came from a family who owned a big manufacturing company in Hull making copper and steel cylinders. But he was the black sheep of the family and went to sea instead. He was on the Atlantic Convoys in WW2. He told me some cracking stories about old Hull. He was a big fella too, and once involved in a bare knuckle boxing match on West Park one Sunday morning and over 1,000 people turned up for it. He was also held in a prison in Africa on a trumped up murder charge when a ship he was on docked there. It took a diplomat to fly out from London to get him released. Also he was invovled in a dominos match in Polar Bear and he picked a cheat up and threw him through one of the windows onto the street. Despite coming from a very wealthy Hull family and traveling around the world seven times as a seaman, he finished up as a labourer at Ideal Standard and died in a council house off Park Street.
