    Probably to date, the best player to ever wear a Hull City shirt. Mesmerising, and a Happy (insert approximate age) Birthday.

    Really liked him..had his best days at Bolton arguably but put a hell of alot more effort in for us than i 1st thought he would..top pro,top player and buy far the most naturally gifted guy weve ever had.

    Fantastic player - I was watching the video dvd of the promotion season when he played for us. Not a great goal scorer that year but some really important performances and some moments of real magic. I was sorry that the club didn't retain him for that first season in the Prem but it was a huge pleasure to have seen him play for City (Pederson was great too!)

    He went on to score 20 goals in 107 games for Silkeborg IF when he left us, before retiring at the age of 37.

    He owns a sports bar in Silkeborg called MÃ¥let(which is Danish for 'The Goal').

    He's going to be brought onto FIFA as a "legend player" Along with players such as, Bergkamp, Pele etc.

    I think he played a massive role off the pitch in our 2008 promotion season.

    I think it was Ipswich at home October 2007. He had the best performance of any City I've seen. I remember just before half time Jay Jay spending 30 seconds wasting time by nutmegging and flicking the ball around three Ipswich players.

    He was a marquee signing for sure.

    But his on pitch contribution was debatable.
