hull sharks memories : Tue Feb 17, 2009 12:09 pm  

Looking through my Hull Sharks programmes brought me back a few memories of some players.

Jason Temu- best hit i ever saw on Darren Rodgers at Salford
Mark Johnson-Underated Winger Should Have Played More.
Andrew Purcell- Big Disapointment.
Simon Booth The Athlete,
Hitro Okesene- The maneate
Fli Seru- The flying fijian

any thought on aymore past players

Fili Seru - the Flying Fijian .... You've got to be joking right.

I remember Steve Prescott scoring a 80m try against Castleford at the Boulevard, think it was the dreaded 99 season.

Also remember players like Martin Hall, Steve Holgate, Alan Hunte etc come with big reputations and do absoloutly nothing.

Fonder memories include Horney, Kingy and dare i say it Cookey bringing some much needed passion into the side of 99

Mark Johnsons back living in South Africa these days, i used to spek to his father in law regularly when i was at my last job.

The fight back against Halifax!
Hallas scoring after Horney's try had been disallowed.
God knows how such a small crowd made so much noise!!

Strangely enough, i tend to have fond memories of those days!
After many a game i'd say " the boys where great today, we only lost by 6". . . oh how times and expectations have changed!
Favourite memory is Prekkies try against Cas, Length of the feld, i started celebrating when he got to the half way line!

Mike fletchers try at boothferry park was a classic

Glen Tomlinson too.

I'm still shocked at how crap alan Hunte was for us back then. He scored an awesome try away to Sheffield (?), then did naff all.

The dream team that was Wilby, Tonks and Walsh

Remember another waste of space Matt Calland signing from Bradford think he played 1 game then retired only play again at a lower level a couple of years later.

Remember 1st home game of the 99 season a young Stuart Fielden going blow to blow with Rob Roberts in front the the threepenny stand; how those 2 careers would differ in the coming years.
