Sad news - great lad, played against him in his Schultz days and he left an impression on me on more ways than one! RIP Pete.

I played against him in those days as well. It was a totally mismatched cup tie. They battered us 6 0. Skip scored a couple coming up for corners. Was it Olsen who also played for them?

RIP Skip.

I am glad I will be there on Sunday for only my second home game to pay respect to a great guy.

Hull City will honour the life of former defender Pete Skipper ahead of Sunday’s Championship clash at home to Bristol City.

The Hull-born centre-back, who made 338 appearances for his hometown club, died last week at the age of 61 and this weekend’s fixture at the KCOM Stadium will see his passing recognised in fitting style.

A minute of applause will precede kick-off, while a host of Skipper’s former team-mates have been invited to form a guard of honour for the two teams when they emerge from the tunnel.

City’s players will warm-up wearing t-shirts carrying Skipper’s name and the two-time promotion-winner will feature on the front cover of the matchday programme.

Skipper’s family have also been invited to Sunday’s game as guests of the club.

The former defender, who had continued to work for City as part of the matchday hospitality team, died suddenly on Easter Monday.
