    I still find his media interviews entertaining. You can't keep a good man down. Here's hoping he gets them promoted.

    Mrs BMB I know your husband has had health problems. Am I understanding you correctly that he will be at Wembley next Saturday? Will you be with him. I would like to say hello if you will be there. I am in block 219...Row 15...with my son. If you are close I will try to stop by.

    He will be there but I will not. He has been back to full health for a couple of years now. Currently he is in Hull until after the Everton match when he goes to Wales to meet up with our Aussie best friends who are on an extended holiday in the UK and are arranging the Wembley visit. No idea yet of where he will be seated.

    Will you be with Stephen who lives in Westminster?- I still have his address from when I sent you your winning cheque for the Tigers goals competition on Hull City Mad a few years ago! That year I was at Wembley to see my team win a cup-final in the 119th minute! You won a cash bonus from me for that too. Coincidentally that year I was also at Wembley to see Swansea win to take the 3rd promotion spot to the Premier League with the same friends I mentioned above.

    Still hope I will finally meet up with you when we visit Vancouver Island next January following a visit to Hull for my sister-in-law's 50th wedding anniversary.

    Have a great day at Wembley hopefully crowned with a Hull City win. I will be watching on TV along with the 2 cats!

    Can't understand why he got (still gets) the pi55 taking out of him for the 'Best Trip' rendition.

    Why not?

    Unfancied manager. Unfancied team. Just achieved the impossible dream of retaining Premier League safety.

    Too many 'the Premier League is too good for Hull City/Phil Brown' types at the time - fook em.

    Like everyone else in the ground apart from the pricks in the North Stand, at the time it felt like the best trip I'd ever been on (football wise).

    Good luck today Browny.

    I'm supporting York for promotion but if not would like Browny to do it. He is a top bloke who got a couple of things wrong but on the whole gave us a bloody good time.

    Philip Brown; Always stepped up to the plate.

    Our second greatest manager ever.

    Sunderland erected a statue to Bob Stokoe, we have 'fans' who want to ridicule Phil Brown.
