Lets be fair to the lad at the time he was growing up Hull City weren't even on the Radar, you would be lucky to get 5000 on the gate so it hardly inspired inspiration amongst the local areas school set up. I would imagine that Leeds would have been far better supported by the boys at School growing up they were in the Premier League at the time, and when they offered him a chance to join he was hardly going to say no thanks I want to play for Hull City in Division 3 and there tin pot set up was he!
