They got him in for the high balls and to deal with crosses. He's a high flyer.

QU = Recent independent genuine national fan survey. Fans asked to vote for the BEST player EVER to play for them. So Chris Waddler was best for Sheff Wed (not Toon), Hughie McIlmoyle for Carlisle, etc. But only 3 players were best but transferred to new club where best again. So the 3 best for 2 clubs are ? Give in already ? Wanna clue ? But Tom Finney only ever played for PNE ! Obviously we are thinking decent players here.

Am a serious Toon fan. You must agree, it's not optional. Emigrated to Hull 1964. Often been back to SJP. Am Hull City season ticket holder. Nice little stadium. Shared with rugby league. So often has poor pitch, but better than Wigan ! Tigers now in the Prem but 1-3 odds on to go down. They haven't signed anyone yet, not even a 15 year old from Plymouth. Manager is Jarrow/Shields Geordie, but a Big Sam clone. Same style investor owner who wont spend more than £3m. Possible signings are ex Bolton - Campo, Mendy, JJ Okacha, etc all on freebies. No, we don't want Smith. Must get back to the point. Am in with a good crowd and we travel away to most games especially SEPT 19th AT SJP. My questions for this game are = 1. Do I wear my Toon shirt, or my orange Tigers thing ? I'll get a lot of good natured abuse from the Hull lot if I wear the Toon shirt, but I can't understand wot they say. They talk funny. 2. Do I sit with them in the crap away seats at SJP or get my own ? Where are the away seats now? Up in the Milburn Gods ? Hope not. 3. Don't understand wot is happening about these seats. Read fans wont renew ST's because being moved. Can you tell me briefly wot it's about ? Suspect it's greed. 4. These Hull lads like pint, or2, or3....... They recently drank a pub dry before they got to the Wembley playoff. Noisy good natured, good fun. No trouble. Our philosophy is we have waited 104 years for some sort of result and it's arrived. We are living the dream. We will enjoy it even if we do a Derby. As long as we do better than S'land did for me. Is there a pub or 2 near SJP who will take us ? 5. This should be a Class 3 game. Last time I "escorted" some of them for a 3 game was Wigan, when all got a free pint inside SJP from the club. Like Pearl Harbour, that day has gone down in infamy ! It's still talked about today. They have asked me if the same offer will be repeated for Hull game. Anybody out there know ? Is it open to away fans too who no doubt have different facilities ? Or only home fans ? Please advise.

Steve Finnan with Welling Utd, Birmingham City, Notts County and Liverpool (Steve Harper is a common answer for this - Gateshead, Stockport, Huddersfield, Hartlepool, Bradford and Newcastle, but he never actually played for Stockport while he was on loan to them, so he is not a correct answer). http://www.tijou.co.uk/trivia/answer49.html Didn't Finnan play for Fulham? Aye for ages. But you missed off the Carling Cup, The FA cup, The World Cup, The Euro Nations Champ, Wellington Schoolboys That cuts out Steve.

This is me first posting. Which Toon hero said : 'We must have had 99% of the game. It was the other three per cent that cost us the match.'
