I always remember players were coming to congratulate him but he was waving them away sat up and calling for the physio. Tough bugger. Think it finished him didnt it?
While we're on a ghoulish theme - despite no audible crack I remember the WB loanee, Lee Marshall, breaking his leg at Kidderminster and thinking at the time it looked awful - he never played again after it, poor bugger.
Broke my ankle about 12 years ago playing on Astro turf, walked 300 yards to the car with it broken. My mate went to Tesco Hall Road to buy some frozen peas (Birdseye) and then my Mrs got dropped off to drive me to HRI, spent 6 weeks in non weight bearing plaster - crutches were a bastard.
He certainly was a good player, far too good for L2 - as I recall, he'd been sent to us on loan after getting on the wrong side of Gary Megson (as if anyone would).
I remember going to the Reebok over Christmas when Megson was in charge of Bolton (2-2) and both sets of fans in unison chanted obscenities about Megson. I think he was sacked less than 24 hours later
I remember Junichi Inamoto's leg break while he was playing for WBA. Christ almighty. Slap your hand against your forearm while in an echoey place, like an abbey or something. That's the sound it made, followed by 30,000 odd people going "OOOOOOHHH".
Well I hope we bloody beat them on Saturday. I have some friends (ex-Hull) who live in Bradford and who are coming through on Saturday for the Bolton game and visiting friends and family before Chrimbo. I know this has been touched on before, but on Saturday morning just gone, I went to the ticket office to buy three tickets for the match. I walked into the ticket office, with three staff at the counters, and absolutely zero customers. I asked for three adult tickets for the Bolton game which resulted in much muttering to one another behind the screens. I was then told match tickets for the game in 7 days time, were not actually available to purchase from the ticket office. Of course I was very embarrased, how we laughed at my mistake, trying to buy match tickets from the ticket office, What an imbecile!!! Since tickets were not availble from the ticket office I instead purchased 20 woodbines, some carbolic soap and a bottle of Bass Brewery Ale. How I have missed interacting with Hull City Tigers!!!
Fortunately though, I could print my own tickets on old thermal fax paper cut up into 2" squares, from a machine on the other side of the wall in the club shop. Of course the bar code is so badly printed I doubt it will scan and I couldn't pick where to sit. Not to worry though, if it doesn't scan, I CAN APPARENTLY EXCHANGE IT FOR A PROPER CARD ONE ON MATCH DAY AT THE TICKET OFFICE, BUT THERE MIGHT BE A BIG QUEUE...............do you know when you can feel the rage rising........
Agreed. Missed that post before. Who in their right mind wouldn't want one of our relegation rivals to get a points deduction slapped on them? That's one spot taken and one step closer to safety.
