Having enjoyed the other threads on the best and the worst Hull XI i was wondering what you guys thought would be a Hull Legends XI. Those players that made an outstanding comtribution or impression on us all. also would you include ashbee after recent events?


few suggestions

GK: Musselwhite
DF: Jacobs
DF: Whittle
DF: Dewhurst
DF: Jon Whitney
MF: Stuart Elliot
MF: Brabin
MF: Joyce
MF: Jason Price
FC: Darby
FC: Linton Brown

i know i've not included Chiltern or Windass who are obvious candidates. just thought i'd throw some other names out there.
 
Jimmy Muggleford. Legendary player for Hull City or perhaps even mythical?
 
Ive said before I think on other forums I dont think you can do these all times xi's including players you havnt seen.
im 24 and unfortunatly missed the likes of chillo and wagstaff but me putting them in my xi would be a cheat I might as well just copy someone elses.

so from the teams I have seen

Gk- Myhill (though mannone is better hasnt being here long enough)
dr- rosenoir
dc- Whittle
dc- Turner
dl- Dawson
mr- Hunt
Mc- Ash
mc- geo
ml- elliot
fc- king
fc- deano

I realise hunt didnt play on the right often but he can play there and who are the alternatives?
mc-
 
I'm not looking at anyone signed after 2005; too subjective.

Assuming 4-4-2

GK: Tony Norman
LB: Brian Bulless
RB: Andy Davidson
CB: Richard Jobson
CB: Paul Haigh
LM: Stuart Elliott
RM: Brian Marwood
CM: Ken Houghton
CM: Raich Carter
ST: Ken Wagstaff
ST: Chris Chilton
 
The best way to decide if someone is a legend is if they are spoken about long after they left. I don't think you can class any of the modern squad as legends just yet... ;-)
 
Ashbee has to be included in here. He's cities greatest ever captain and nobody will be able to match his achievements in a city shirt. Just because he threw a paddy against us cos he didn't want to leave doesn't tarnish 9 years of inspirational leadership, wonderful goals and pure commitment.
 
In terms of the biggest influences since I've been watching, I'd go with:

Myhill
Ricketts
Turner
Whittle
Dawson
Price
Geovanni
Ashbee
Elliott
Windass
Campbell

Clutching at straws with Ricketts and Price maybe :/
 
Myhill
Ricketts
Whittle
Jobson
Dawson
Roberts
Barmby
Ashbee
Elliott
Payton
Windass

if i could have subs
Norman
Whitehurst
Geovanni


that would be mine
