O/T If anyone is interested!! : Mon Feb 09, 2009 5:48 pm
In these days when we speak regurlarly of all those whom knock the club at every oportunity I would just like to bore you for a moment to remember one of Hull FC s greatest fans whom passed away just after midnight on sunday morning.
Her name was Vera Dannatt
born in 1928,it was amazing to us when she self taught herself to use a PC when leaving the house became too much for her and in her own words was her connection to the club & family to find out what was going on with both and read this site top to bottom every single day!! and used to proper pull her face at many comments made on here agianst players or the club in general & would never ever have anyone say anything bad about the FC in her prescence, and her comment if they did was always " when your the one taking the smack in the chops on the field then you can make comment" .
She was always very very proud to be an FC fan as she was all of her life and she would tell anyone who was interested that she watched in total in her life from being a very young girl to an old lady The FC play in 17 finals and followed the club with her late husband & family all over the UK for years and years until age caught up with her .
Her Brother Geoff Dannatt Played Centre for Hull in the 50s which made her the proudest sister in history and then again when Andy Dannatt played.
Her dad James Dannatt worked at the Boulevard on match days for longer than she could remember so all in all this lady was an FC fan through and through as I am sure you will agree.
But I will remember her last days in Hull Royal when even in severe pain she found the time to ask " has that bloody Aussie got his backside over here yet"

sorry to bore you
