I know we have the ex Tigers, but it would be nice if the club could aspire to the sort of thing Everton do, where they act to assist former players with health issues by having fund-raising events, 'meet the fans' evenings etc. http://www.evertonfc.com/content/history/players-and-managers/former-players-foundation
BBC Humberside Sport @HumbersideSport Hull City will hold a minute’s applause in memory of former striker Les Mutrie before their next home game v Nottm Forest on 28 Oct. #hcafc
The Geordie Beatle. Must admit as my memory dims of City games, facts, details, there are certain things that never fade. 4-4 Boxing Day v sheffield weds, Waggy v Banks, the Watney Cup Final, N Ireland v Spain, Ashbee at Yeovil, loads of things like that. But when I heard about 'Sir Les' the other day, I vaguely remembered the goal that he scored when he danced along the South Stand goal line, was probably sheffield united. I probably went to Scunny and 'that' goal (did Les score? so they say) But the one image that I remembered most, burnt deeply into my memory, is that head and shoulders photo of him on Amber Nectar. Smouldering, mean, cool as in Clint Eastwood cool, almost George Best like. He was quality was Sir Les, sheer quality.
For anyone who fancies a long read on Les and his brother, some Blyth Spartans fans have written this: https://blythspirit.wordpress.com/2015/12/14/green-white-cult-heroes-the-mutrie-brothers/
I remember him diving in for a headed goal at the near post in some game. There was a lot of buzz around him at the time and I remember hearing someone talking in the stands like they hadn't been there for years, but they'd turned up to see him. An early instance for me of what you'd call 'plastics' now I guess.
Possibly not chazz.weve had some great players.but I loved the 80s teams.my favourite time as a city fan
