ajthefox Posted 29 June 2011 Posted 29 June 2011 Still disappoints me to see him go but understand the reasons why. Hope he does well, has a lot of potential.
Darkon84 Posted 29 June 2011 Posted 29 June 2011 Think he'll still get a good reception from the fans when Hull play here.
ajthefox Posted 29 June 2011 Posted 29 June 2011 I should hope so. I don't really see any reason as to why anyone wouldn't like the lad. He was a rock for us under Pearson and we should be very thankful for that, it's just not turned out quite how some of us imagined back when we were oh so close to Wembley.

I'll certainly give him a clap anyway. Like you and many others have said, its a shame it didnt work out for him here. When he did play, he was great for us and I think he really did want us to succeed (durr obviously he doesnt want to lose). All the best to him
